5 random things about me...

This was an interesting tag from The Gemini Mind. I am finally back in the blogging world after quite a long hibernation and I would like to think I am here to stay! So, for starters, here goes...

1. If you ask people what I remind them of, probably the only thing they will tell you about is "FOOD", with a capital F! It will be food or some word associated with food - like 'restaurants' or 'pani-puri' or 'potato' whatever (though I suggest it's better to double check what they mean if they say 'potato' :) ). I cannot really remember from when I got the privilege of this association or what started it. For the last 2 years, my favourite past-time has been to explore restaurants and eat-outs, from chaat house to Vino house, trying out everything from the street-side bajji shops, self-service kiosks, sugarcane juice and what-not! IF you meet me, you will sure see how :-D Food makes me happy. Period. It's more a passion (sometimes I would even go to the extent of saying obsession) than just something I do to keep myself alive.(And I secretly confess that I am scared one day I will be killed for committing the sin of GLUTTONY!!)

2. And much as I love to eat, I love to cook. Cooking is a major de-stresser for me. If I am angry, I would cook (no, I won't show it on the food though). If I feel like crying my eyes off, I would get up and make myself some food even if it were just Maggi noodles. I dream of writing a cook book someday after doing sufficient research and experimentation in my labs :-)

3. I HATE to cry. Yes, especially in front of someone. I just hate it. Well, I don't mind if someone cries to me, but it would take a real lot to see me crying in front of people or even to a close friend. I completely detest it as it makes me feel very weak and vulnerable. I value this because it took me a lot to get here, I wasn't born this way obviously.

4. Well...I fantasize myself driving a Volvo bus. This is one thing in my bucket list. And I hope that with the coming year I will achieve this as one of the many targets I have set myself. Hehe, but the road to it doesn't seem too bright :) Damn, it is such a society with a chauvinistic outlook that surrounds me...

5. Sports! A sportsman is an absolute turn-on. To the extent that I wouldn't like to choose a man who is not good in sports as my husband. And that doesn't mean the likes of Michael Phelps or Brian Lara. Someone who has grown up playing street-cricket would do :-) I am really bad at sports...Maybe because it was never encouraged where I come from. I used to play some badminton in high school but for unfathomable reasons, I was asked not to continue. So, I consider myself pathetic at sports. And technically, my husband should complement me, right? He better be good at sports to begin with!
