10 ka Dum!

As promised, i’ve taken up the task of completing the tags…
And i’m gonna follow the principle of LIFO (last-in first-out)!!
And as Ankur had tagged me a while ago, here i go telling you 10 of my things, or my traits, whatever you call, are not known to everybody.. (who started this dangerous tag anyway?!?!)

1. I am a very good cook… though few of you might know this, but then i thought of beginning to tell the secrets with the most delicious (so to say) one! And the 1st time i cooked everything, i.e. roti, chapatti, daal, sabzi and Kheer, when i was only in 7th standard. My mom had undergone a surgery, and my grandma was bedridden, and to top it all, we had a Puja at our place which is a family tradition, and the food is cooked by a family member itself! For some time, i thought of myself as some li’l wonder! : )

2. I am scared of dark. Cannot stay alone without lights being turned on! That doesn’t mean i haven’t stayed alone anytime, but at all such events, i’ve always had a goodnight sleep with few lights on in the house.

3. This is may be connected with the above ‘secret’.. I cannot just tolerate and watch horror movies! : ( yeah, this is very sad, but cannot help it.. if i happen to watch any of these, courtesy some people like Andy, then come whatever may, i just cannot sleep that night.. yeah, i’m a real fattu! : (

4. I hated economics throughout my school and my undergraduate life. And now i’ve been teaching this subject for more than 2 years now, and all the other subjects related to it, took major during my MBA as well as MA in economics and planning to have fellowship in the same subject!

5. I started walking when i was 9 months old…

6. I am ambidextrous. There are many things i can only do with my left hand, and rest with my right one. I was a lefty dribbler in basketball, but a righty shooter; can write with right hand, but can draw nicely with lift one; cannot kick a scooter with right leg, and etc etc..

7. I have never in my life dashed my car! Now this is an achievement in itself, given that once i had accidents every month for 8 months on my scooter!! So who says women are bad drivers??!!!

8. For 2 years during my under graduation, i earned my pocket money by designing and making artificial jewelry and at a point of time, had actually talked to few jewel stores for a tie-up kind of a thing. But then went for my MBA and the whole entrepreneurship drive came to an end! : (

9. I can sing in 10 different female singers' voices apart from my own!

10. I cannot go to sleep and have food without hearing Andy’s voice! :)

Guess spilled all the beans!

Now would like to know more about few people, so i tag
Ashish, Gunj, Pri, Ceedy, Rahul, Veens, ashu, and anybody who would like to tell their secrets!

'm Back!

Hello people,
I'd been very busy lately with my work and other things. So could not blog for a while... though i wished to do it eveyday( at least check other blogs if not contribute from my side), but couldnt do it...
The situation has not got any better, but at least i can do some blogging now.. and as few people have tagged me, i'll do that soon as well...

Keep visiting!

(Sequence is subject to changes…!)

1. My job! (Yeah, that’s very weird, but i really do love my job to the core!!)

3. Music! (Cannot live without this… I have to have some music around me…)
4. The relationship in which I’ve been in since more than 6 years now… (didn’t know how to put it across… :P )
5. Clothes… ( Great fan! Doesn’t have to be necessarily designer, but anything which is good looking and has great appeal to it, is in my wardrobe… and i spend almost 1/4th of my salary on clothes..!)
6. Cooking.. (in fact, experimenting… and fortunately, almost everything turns out to be at least eatable!)
7. PJs.. (No, i didn’t steal this from Ashish, but i am his group member in this PJ community..! and i love PJs because i just imagine all of them… just give it a try!!)

8 things I want to do before I die…

1. Get married! (6 years.. now shouldn’t we decide on the date???!!!)
2. To be the head of one of the top B – Schools (to begin with, i would love to be the head of department or something like this for say, Economics )

5. To play basketball again on a national level (oh I really miss playing this game)
6. Want to straighten my hair… (I have big curly hair, and i simply hate it!!..but again, don’t wanna take the risk.. so may be this can be done when I’m sure I’m gonna die soon.. :D)
7. To settle down soon… (this includes many things..!)
8. Slap that one person whom I hate the most!! (in front of the world.. I know I’m being mean.. but then, couldn’t think of anything else… but this is also a good thing to do before I die.. :) )
