Madhu, a good friend, tagged me on Facebook. Since more people read my blog than my notes, and my notes are imported into Facebook anyway, I decided to do this on my blog. So, here we go. The rules are simple. Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.
Here we go!
- I am short-tempered and hyper-sensitive. But, I can keep my cool very long while teaching.
- I love bike rides. When the weather is cool, the road empty, and someone else is driving that is.
- One thing I hate doing is washing the dishes. I can cook, clean, mop, rinse. But dishes make me cry. 🙁
- I can’t resisting blogging about things that I find especially provocative.
- I am a compulsive debater, much to the chagrin of my close friends. This is because they find that they can never talk sense into me without me disagreeing.
- I love spinach. Of any kind and in any form.
- I am vegetarian, although the roasted chicken in the oven of my neighbourhood butcher in Paris looked delicious. 😛
- I find it difficult to talk to idiots, and to those who refuse to recognise they are idiots.
- People can make friends with me if they just spoke to me intelligently.
- When I get too angry, I start crying. So, people don’t know if I am sad or angry.
- I love to sing, even if others don’t like listening to me.
- I hate dancing. I have been resisting all attempts to make me dance.
- I cannot stand physical activity. It bores me, and tires me out.
- I like kids only if they don’t cry.
- I am greatly affected by personal insults and name-calling, even if I ignore it sometimes. That explains my decision to delete some of the comments to my previous posts.
- I find it difficult to think so much about myself.
- I sometimes wish I had a better sense of humour when I write. My friends accuse me of being too serious on my blog.
- In real life, I am rarely confrontational. I avoid conflict situations and try to maintain a balance in life.
- When someone says something nasty to me, I am incapable of coming up with a suitable comeback. It only strikes me 5 hours later.
- I am a punctuality freak. I get paranoid if I am not at least 15 minutes early to office.
- I would never forgive someone who bitched about me behind my back.
- Sometimes I wish people would shut up and let me concentrate on my work.
- I love talking. I was in fact labelled Ms. Talkative at work. 🙂
- I like dressing up sometimes. But most of the time, I don’t even use powder or cream.
- And finally, I quite organised. I can make to-do lists and cross them off periodically.
There! Now, I simply refuse to bug 25 other people to do this. Anyone is free to pick this up. But, I would greatly appreciate it if Cris could do it, since she seems to be the only one around to have not done it yet. Anyway, here we go! And also IHM, Imp’s Mom, Dinesh and Nimmy. 🙂
Tagged! :-)
So, I have finally been tagged. Was thanking my stars nobody thought of me so far. But Cris broke the jinx. Thanks Cris! 🙂 Here we go. The rules, as I found them on Cris’ blog.
RULE #1 People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.
RULE #2 Tag 6 people to do this quiz and those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by continue this game by sending it to other people.
1. If your lover betrayed you what would your reaction be?
Hmm. Tough one already. Probably walk out. And certainly never forgive.
2. What’s it that you see in an ideal partner?
A stable head on his shoulders, and a mind of his own. Even if it means we fight.
3. What, according to you, is the perfect date?
Cappuccino, and more cappuccino…and more cappuccino! 😛
4. Would you like to have children soon enough? Or would you wait till your mid-thirties for the first child?
Replacing question: Do you like children?
I prefer to answer Cris’ question. I like kids as long as they don’t cry.
5. Will you fall in love with your best friend?
No. We were never friends. Cannot think of a friend as a lover.
6. Which is more blessed: loving someone or being loved by someone?
I am greedy. I want both. But, if I have to choose. Being loved is much better.
7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you love?
As long as necessary. Forever.
8. If the person you secretly like is attached, what will you do?
Walk away. It’s not worth it. As I said, being loved is better than loving.
9. If you could root for one social cause, what would it be?
Free education for children. For as long as they want to study.
10. Do you lie?
Yes. I would be in major trouble if I did not. 😛

Happily married, two kids, enough money to live, happy with work. Don’t ask what work I will be doing. I have no clue.
12. What’s your fear?
Losing people I love. It’s always been my greatest fear.
13. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
A good writer who I hope will be famous some day. Then, I can proudly say I knew her all those years ago. 😛
14. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?
Married and poor. Can’t think of life without him.
15. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously who will you pick?
Lol. Sweet dreams. Falling in love once is bad enough. Twice?? No thanks.
16. Would you give all in a relationship?
Yes. Without compromising some basic principles.
17. Would you forgive and forget someone no matter how horrible a thing he has done?
Same as Cris. Might forgive, but will definitely not forget.
18. Do you prefer being single or in a relationship?
In a relationship of course.

Hmm… Tough one again. Will settle for New York Nagaram from Sillunu Oru Kaadal.

Can’t think of anyone in particular. I leave this tag free for anyone to take up. 🙂
