My best friend did this on her blog and asked me to do the same quite a while ago; i thought now would be the right time to take my mind off a few things...jus sit down , relax and jot down a few things about me from the top of my head....it was a fun experience. I think everyone should try doing this!
• I think every single dimension of life is simply intriguing. Life fascinates me
• Though I have way too many friends, I somehow managed to nail a soul mate /best friend for myself, who knows all of my secrets, well, almost :)
• I grew up thinking I looked ugly, thanks to a few family members n school mates. But now I know I am beautiful inside & out – again thanks to a few family members n friends!
• I believe in the universal plan. I live each day hoping that I’m dealing with the cards right
• I live in the “now”. It makes things so remarkably easy to deal with on a daily basis
• I don’t like tea or coffee. I have no idea how coffee actually tastes like. Really!
• I’m addicted to food. Especially to the Chinese cuisine. Seafood tops the list! Am an emotional eater too…which is not a good thing at all.
• I am a movie buff. Kamal Hassan is my all time favorite and has remained so for over 25 years
• Shreeya (my daughter) is my passion and my very quintessence of life. She is my
inspiration and every single reason why I should go on
• I adore my mom for being the selfless person that she is. I don’t mean to sound so clichéd but if I could inherit even a couple of her traits I would go a long way
• I love to analyze relationships and the intricacies involved in makin them work. When it comes to me I am emotional, sincere and benevolent. I love relationships but it also hurts like death when someone doesn't respect it as much as i do
• I love to dance and most of the time it ends up being my outlet for pent up not so good feelings
• I discovered quite late that I could actually sing. Barely trained; Like dance, singing is one the things where I could’ve gone professional
• When I was in school I wanted to marry A R Rahman. I remain to be his die hard fan till date
• I went cricket crazy when I was 14. I wouldn’t go to school without a bat I said, one day. My dad bought me a brand new one during the lunch interval & I still remember my face beaming with pride while unveiling it to my friends for the first time
• I believe in love; I also believe that if you are lucky it will happen only once and anything before and after that would be life’s compromise
• I love to party. I am social but not a complete extrovert. I can be graphed somewhere between being an introvert & extrovert. I cherish my “alone” moments quite a lot
• I love hip hop music as much as I enjoy sad love songs. My hip hop classes are still pending in Englewood
• Disney land was one of my childhood dreams. Many of my childhood dreams never manifested, but Disney land did. I visited Orlando in 2003 with my own funds. One of the most memorable days of my life
• “Bombay” was the first movie I watched with friends, after bunking college I still remember every thrilling moment of that day like it happened yesterday
• I’ve never dated in my life & now I guess it is too late :)
• My all time favorite Tv show is LOST. I’m amazed @ the thought process of the makers of this masterpiece in each & every episode. (I love Sawyer...... and Jack too :))
• I used to be Andre Agassi’s big time fan in school….& also Sanjay Manjrekar for which I’ve been ridiculed all my life :)
• I spent my childhood summer holidays in Madurai, my native. I have some real special memories of those days with my cousins, etched in my heart forever
• I didn’t own a pair of jeans till I was 25. My dad was not fond of me wearing western clothes & I never thought I had the body for it. One fine day I told my self “What the heck. Who cares!”. No looking back since then
• I have struggled with weight issues all my life and the battle of the bulges continue; but with some renewed confidence after the 2005 success story of weight loss, I think I can do it again
• I love my brothers. We don’t have much in common, but the unspoken bond we share speaks louder than words and also may be because, I never liked the idea of having a sister
• I never miss an opportunity to compliment someone. “That’s a pretty dress that you are wearing” or “wow you look nice today” are part of my everyday vocabulary
• Though I was never allowed to have any career aspirations when I was young. I‘ve always dreamt of owning an immensely successful business. I hope to make it big someday!
• I am a sinful procrastinator. I need to constantly push myself to even get the basic of things, done. Wish I were more organized
• I hate my name. Period.
• I can shop till I drop. I’m not called a shopaholic for no reason
• I love trendy clothes and junk jewellery. Could never have enough of ‘em
• Wish I knew hindi. Its been a handicap in several instances. Yes, I am “subtitle dependent” i know to read n write hindi though...Strange???!! welll thts me...:)
• I dreaded the tonsillitis surgery when I was 11. It just took a couple of brand new Barbies to convince me to go through with it :)
• I don’t hate all men. I only hate shallow guys, can’t stand the needy ones and also the ones that are not man enough to face the situation. Now does that pretty much account for all men? Hehe
• Malibu is the drink I had recently and I so loved it. Now it tops my chart after margarita
• I have this thing for Librans. I sometimes think that this unexplainable “thing” could’ve earned me some of the most unforgettable moments & people in life
• My colleagues in Singapore thought that I had a weird accent. Then I quickly mastered Singaporean English (English with a mandarin accent) and never had any communication hiccups henceforth. Not even in the local supermarkets. My husband was awed!
• I have a couple of very strong women as friends that do what they love
for a career. They make me so proud and also make me yearn for my turn!
• My right hand is kinda screwed that i suck at sporting activities. However, swimming is my favorite physical activity, I miss Singapore for that if not for anything else
• Im crazy about the color Black. Black shirt, skirt, salwar, tunic, sari, trouser, shoes, jewellery, you name it, I got it!
• The March 2008 road trip to Las Vegas via Grand Canyon in an Rv along with the “Denver Diamonds” aka “Denver Gluttons” gang, would go down in history as one of the most incredible trips ever made!
• I like it dark. I mean the ambience of the home. I don’t like too much light
• Adobe Photoshop is one of my passions. I am amazed at the way I manage to maneuver around the interface like a pro even after all these years of not keeping in touch
• I love to cook. I experiment a lot and Ram has been extremely cooperative and most importantly, Alive... :) hehe
• I’ve always wanted straight hair for myself, but after all these years I’m not too sure
• Ross is my favorite character in friends. He is so adorable!
• I’m a big fan of Oprah Winfrey. Would love to be part of at least her audience someday, if not as her guest :)
• I love photographs. I think every house should showcase pictures that
freeze some of the most beautiful moments of life that time can’t erase
• I hope to set up a home for uncared children someday. If I could make it….that would be the culmination of my lifetime!
