11. I still don’t know if I’m a bag person or a shoe person.
11 questions asked by Swarnali:
1. Why and what made you start blogging?
I think it was mainly the lack of friends, of not having someone to talk to about normal, girl stuff.
2. Did you meet any of your fellow bloggers?? How was the experience?
Sadly, No.
3. Is there any regular regimen that you follow religiously? What is it?
My two cups of tea per day. Also, my bedtime ritual is pretty much like clockwork.
4. What is your favorite dish?
Pasta!!
5. What do you like about my blog? (assuming you read it :P)
Your style of writing is unique and it’s always interesting to read your posts. Also, I get ideas of the good books to check out next :-).
6. Do you think I should add something or remove anything from my blog? What is it?
Like I said, it is unique. Wouldn’t want to change anything now.
7. What is your favorite pastime?
8. What is your favorite book, favorite movie and your favorite song? (ow thats 3 questions actually :P)
My favorite book is Wuthering Heights
9. Who is the most inspiring person in your life?
I can’t name an individual; I’d rather say my family as a single unit.
10. Has there been any drastic change in you in the past 5-10 years? If yes, what is it?
The past decade has been full of milestones – getting married, graduating, living alone, getting a job etc. but I think becoming a mother has brought on the biggest change in me.

Interesting answers :D
ReplyDeleteI never understood why people could be scared of birds!!(no offence to you,I can understand that phobias are unexplainable). Have you by any chance watched the movie "The Birds",if you haven't then don't..your phobia might get worse.
Home Alone is such a cute movie,I love it too and I drink two cups of tea everyday too!! :D
I'm not as good as you say :P
p.s.-the two word security hasn't gone yet :(
Oh no, just reading about that movie gives me the shivers. And really sorry about the security thing. I think it's taken care of for now.
ReplyDeletecongrats on the sunshine award! and one of us wanted to be a journalist right after school too.. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Maybe, one day, we will live out our dream!!
DeleteCongratulations !! :D Barbie dolls have that effect on me too :D
ReplyDeleteWow, it's soo good to see a fellow Barbie fan :-)
DeleteCongrats, but why do people ask about your elopement? Are you like Kareena of jab we met?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, but I guess it's because they think 21 is too young to get married the 'proper' way ;-). And no, I'm miles apart from Kareena in Jab We Met :-)))
Deletethank you so much for the award!! I've been in-active in blogosphere...checking you post only now! thanks again! :)
