The TYNKAM Tag


The Prancing Horse, Paris

Things You Never Knew About Me..Or probably you did..

Well its tag time again. We appear to be in a lull in terms of tags, compared to last year, when we had an extended tag season! So here is a very very old bunch of questions, which were initially a rage on email. So here we go..

1. LAST MOVIE YOU SAW IN A THEATER: Black&White (Hindi) (went for the popcorn, mainly! movie was just okay)

2. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING? Autobiography of a Yogi (been on my reading list for ever, and now on my bedside table!)

3. FAVORITE BOARD GAME? Scrabble..Or "firing" if you meant the other board..

4. FAVORITE MAGAZINE? Hmm..plenty..but Time, Reader's Digest, and Femina (oh yeah..i love reading Femina..lot of sensible stuff in that :))
5. FAVORITE SMELLS? Crisp fresh air, especially after a rain or in the midst of lot of greenery..and also, Jasmine, peppermint, and most other flowers..
6. FAVORITE SOUND? Waves at the beach.. I hope to retire by the beach side some day..

7. WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD? When you feel helpless

8. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE? Time already!?!?!.. I wish I did not have work..

9. FAVORITE FAST FOOD PLACE? Is there some other kind of food?? Hmm...Barista is my favorite hangout, whether you call it a fastfood joint or not.

10. FUTURE CHILD'S NAME? Still single, so got time to think about this one..

11. FINISH THIS STATEMENT. "IF I HAD A LOT OF MONEY I'D...? slow down and travel more..help more people..and probably start a few schools in India

12. DO YOU DRIVE FAST? At times, but most other times I like to feel and enjoy the pleasure of the drive..
13. DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL? None that I know of..Although earlier I have woken up a lot of times to find my doggy next to me..Good thing was, he never used to wake me up..

14. STORMS-COOL OR SCARY? Cool till it gets scary.
15. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR? I dont have one yet, but if the one my Dad used to have after I was born qualifies..Fiat - Premier Padmini..I think..

16. FAVORITE DRINK? Used to be Orange juice and Coke. Until recently it was coffee. Now I get the feeling its Water.

17. FINISH THIS STATEMENT, "IF I HAD THE TIME I WOULD ..... spend more time with friends, family, travel more, spend more time exploring nature..
18. DO YOU EAT THE STEMS ON BROCCOLI? I hate to admit it..Yes..Not often though..

19. IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICE? If it didnt damage my hair (and my career!), then perhaps I would love to experiment (blue always had a special appeal)..But oh..I am losing my hair..At last count there were only 43 hairs left..

20. NAME ALL THE DIFFERENT CITIES/TOWNS YOU HAVE LIVED IN. Trivandrum, India; Dubai, UAE; Mangalore, India; Bangalore, India; Clermont Ferrand, France;
21. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH? F1, Football, and Basketball.

22. ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU. She's an amazingly strong and positive person., who cares a lot and is so warm..

23. WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED? Dust I am sure..besides some bills that may have flown under..Hopefully nothing alive..

24. WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE BORN AS YOURSELF AGAIN? Absolutely..

25. MORNING PERSON, OR NIGHT OWL? Night..Total

26. OVER EASY, OR SUNNY SIDE UP? I hate eggs..unless its with some other dish and I dont get the taste of it..

27. FAVORITE PLACE TO RELAX? Hill-top, Beachside, Thick woods, Green grass, Under the stars..Any place natural with lots of solitude and peace..

28. FAVORITE PIE? Sour cream apple.. not a major pie fan

29. FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR? Chocolate with lotsa almonds and hazelnuts and hot sauce..

30. OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU TAGGED THIS TO, WHO'S MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND FIRST? Silverine..

And this tag goes to..

Not much controversial other than the word ‘Femina’ and a hint to your numerous lady fans that you are still single ;)
