Part I (The short version)
I am: a female (of the species supposedly deadlier than the male 
)
Located at: Sikkim, East India
I would describe myself as a rebel with a sub-clause: I will probably never explain myself.
I like living my life as I want. Appreciate honesty, humility, intelligence and a great sense of humour. Love my books, traveling, having fun and blogging about things that capture my imagination.
Part II (About RingChen – the header)
Ringchen is an altered spelling of my name. I was first misspelt 15 years back by a dear friend whom I used to adore and just about worshipped the ground she walked on. Everything she did was super cool and thats how I almost began to prefer the new spelling to my real one. Of recent times, my accountant also spells my name with the extra G. I think its cute, although it hasnt been financially disastrous for me yet.
And ringchen.com happened because some monk happened to take the one with my actual spelling. Not that I mind anyway since I’m very generous with additional alphabets in or outside my name.
… and if you have more time than that, continue reading till…
Part III (Where I ramble on through topics that are of no particular use to anyone)
I was named after my father’s elder sister who passed away when she was quite young. We used to have an old black and white photo of hers in one of the albums and she looks just like my dad. Only maybe more prettier.
I’ve been a rebellious sort of kid and more so as I progressively grew up. The tales of my daring escapades would have to be printed in a book format and that too by the name of an anonymous author. No, its not that I think so highly of myself. Just being on the safer side. If there is one. Enough said.
I used to read and read and read when I was a kid, which earned me glasses by the time I was a teenager. Often when I meet people who knew me way back, they keep repeating the same thing time and again – You used to read SO MUCH when you were a kid, do you remember??? Yeah, like they’d let me forget. Plus, I still do read. I dont remember all what I’ve read but thats another story.
I think I’m very easy going and friendly. Other people, however find me a tad arrogant and domineering. I can act very childish and immature at times and as a result, I’m sometimes battling unnecessary cold wars with people I’d rather have a drink with. Stupid, really but inevitable unfortunately.
I dont like people who nag. I myself dont lecture people unless I’m being paid to enter the classroom and I dont think I can stand listening to ideals and virtues of being the perfect human being, which I’m apparently not. Whats more, I like being imperfect. Anybody having a problem with that can go eat Bart Simpson’s shorts.
I like to think of myself as a very chilled out, relaxed person. Of course, thats when I’m not being audited at work or being nagged about how to live my life. Thats when a shrewish version of me takes over and all hell breaks loose. I’ve taken a self-taught course on “You have only one life – live like there’s no tomorrow” and come to the conclusion – to do what you want and not have regrets, well not many anyway.
To quote Aamir Khan in some ad on TV, why would you want to learn from other people’s mistakes? Make your own! Hoping to do that and more or as I like to keep repeating, will die trying.
Haha! One of the best About Me’s! Oh and the header looks superb!
Thanks on both counts. The header pic’s called a Dzong (a monastry cum District Office) in Punakha, Bhutan. Havent gone there; will some day. And yeah, the header keeps changing as frequently as my hair colour
Nice! thnx for being at my blog.
If you think ur childhood escapades are as interesting as a miniature adventure, write about them sometime. I love adventure. 
PS : There is a mismatch between your Gravatar and ur Facebook Profile Pic.

Yeah, the gravatar. I got too lazy to upgrade the latest pic. Will do so soon!

I like your work at Squidoo even though I still havent figured out how to vote. I appreciate it 
Ringchen, I am glad you like the Squidoo lens. You can ask your fans to vote for your blog. You may also vote for yourself.
then go the star on the extreme right and just click on that)
Voting is easy.
To vote for a blog you click on the small triangle on the left of each blog. So basically, visit a blog in the list and if you think it should get a thumbs up, click on the triangle – it should turn green in colour once you do so.
To vote for the Squidoo lens itself (if you have liked it) go to the top of the page. You will see some stars. You can decide to click on as many stars as you wish. The stars ‘light up’ as you move your cursor on them. Then click on whatever you want to rate. (For example, if you wish to give the page a 5*
Cheers!
Got your blog address from Sikkim Express and was interested enough to go through most stuff you’d written. Great STuff
Really liked the way you express yourself. Felt a kindred spirit reading between the lines. Am also addicted to a lot of movie watching and love scrabble but find few people who would waste time playing the game.
Keep writing. Will keep reading.
King
Hi King,
Thank you for your kind words. Any friend of scrabble is a friend of mine
Have you heard of, or seen Susan Boyle on utube. Check it out and lets hear your comments.
King
Hi,
I am into any blog for the first time, seeing probably Sikkim.
Liked your Aunty quote in “NOW”.
Nice writeups & Blog is nice too
Hello Eskay and welcome to my blog
Thank for your kind words. I believe I will never tire of hearing such nice words!
Hi King, not checked it out yet. Will do it when I come home, for sure.
Hi Rinchen,
This is with the ‘Aunty’ – (and ‘Uncle’ for us), forms of address.
My little daughter told me this story about a time when she was visiting a friend.
It appears that the mother of the house, well educated, urbane, sophistaced, a single parent (quite foxy) and normally a very cool person, was very allergic to being called aunty, and most people who visited her home were aware of this. So she was addressed as Maam, or Mrs….. and even Didi was allowed.
During the day that my daughter was there for a small birthday get-together, a hapless delivery boy had the misfortune of addressing her as Aunty. Despite the presence of little kids, some parents and a few old fogies at the bash, It appears she blew her top.
“Which uncle of yours have I phu___d that you call me you aunty?” she is said to have shouted at the boy. My litte girl was asking what THE word meant.
KING
Oh, thats too extreme! And in front of the little kids :O
A bit too much. I think its insecurity. And plain bad manners too.
Well a story’ a story.
So long for now.
Will be going out for a while.
King.
Hi Rinchen,
Am back in Sikkim again. Had gone out for a while. Did you check in to Susan Boyles show on the day that she sang?
More important. Did you vote?
No matter what the outcome of the counting on the 16th of May. What is your personal and actualof what you’d like Sikkim to be?
Yours and regards.
King

Lol! Guilty as charged. Although it isnt much fun getting regular spams for all the other Rinchens out there, my same-named friend
