25 Random Things About Me!

Played this tag game with a group of buddies - pasting it here for my other extended family of readers.

Pick up a piece of paper and write at least 10 random things about yourself. It is pretty self-introspective!

Want to know Me? Here is a little of Me...

1.I like to keep things simple and straight - it's a different story that they usually turn out otherwise!
2.I dream of publishing a book of short stories some day. I think it's all about sitting down and getting started on it. A memoir one day maybe - my life has a lot of interesting twists and turns - enough to keep my reader occupied :-)
3.Children and good food are something I can't resist :-)
4.I like to believe in the positive things around me - the good side of people, right attitude, love cures everything, truth prevails kinda stuff. Not because I'm in denial, or unrealistic. I know the ugly face of this world - have been there and seen some. But, this is a conscious effort and suits me - helps me being happy when I see this side of everything!
5.Tall/Dark/Handsome with a dash of good humor is my bill of a perfect male ;-)
6.I love to see new places without flying - and am a pack rat when I travel
7.I'm my dad's princess - even today :-)
8.I hate frivolous behaviour by anyone at any age. I take things seriously. Usually :-) Maybe that's a problem?
9.A rainy day, a good cup of coffee, a good book, a blanket, a seat by the window where I can see and hear the rain, good food, hugs from my little one, topped with a good Bollywood movie is my idea of a perfect weekend!
10.I have no special regard for money - I know it is essential to live that's all. I don't believe in chasing it.
11.The theme song "Ek Hasina Thi..." and the instrumental high notes in that song from the movie "Karz" (older version) could get me into a great mood any day!
12.I like people in general and like to believe that they are all good. Cynical at times too :-)
I've also been manipulated by people for trusting them blindly- I can't hate people in the end - my weakness? Maybe...
13.I can't stop myself from suffering along with anyone who shares their problems/bad times with me. And, I wish with all my heart that I could magically turn it around for them to be happy again.
14.I'm not easily influenced - I play along and may give the impression otherwise, but I mostly rely on my own judgement.
15.I expect nothing but a little affection from people around me
16.I get lost in the beauty of Nature! Forests, mountains and all that is green is a fav. Water particularly excites me. Possibly 'coz I'm a Cancerian!
17.I cry when I hear patriotic songs - when I'm by myself :-) That said, I have very rarely cried in front of people though - don't believe in showing my tears to anyone who isn't special to me.
18.I believe in a greater force that will always take care of you and do justice in the end.
19.Love music, drawing. Also love handicrafts, organic food, re-cycling, free spirited laughter, moonlight and sweets :-)
20.Love to read - can read anything. Fiction/ books on human relationships and psychology have a greater appeal! Philosophy in general - books or discussion interests, excites and intrigues me!
21.I'm sensitive to fake accents, false ideals, hypocrisy and double standards.
22.Political moves and strategies - between people, both around me and around the world intrigue and amuse me! I enjoy making patterns out of them and try to predict the next moves!
23.Believe in the positive force at all times!
24.Am not guilty of anything - so far. I believe in honesty - even among thieves!I've always done and even uttered things that I truly believed in. I hate liars.
25.Wish the world to be rid of all the problems - hunger, poverty, illnesses, wars, greed, power struggles, and everything else that makes it unsecure for the future generations to come! Wishful thinking maybe - but doesn't hurt to dream :-)
