I have been away for a long time again, and this time I swear it was nothing to do with laziness. And no, it was not lack of stuff to write about either. And of course, I did have time on hand. But I could just not write, and if I tried, it was so boring and senseless that I fell asleep just typing it. Ok, that’s a little too much, but it was something to that effect.

Till a savior came along, in the form of I-love-Lucy. And I was tagged!

The idea is to reveal 10 of your deepest darkest secrets. Now this blog never has anything even remotely deep (which makes it shallow? OMG, that’s so not a compliment! Anyways, so we can’t change that, can we?) And dark? No-no, this is a light blog by all means.

So, I think I’ve done something similar before, rattled some random stuff about me, so I will link that, and think of 10 new things.

1.  I have a time fixed for most regular things in life and I stick to these come what may. Like go for a bath exactly at 10 AM, leave for work exactly at10:55AM, go for a coffee exactly at 3 PM, book my cab for 9 exactly at 8:15 etc. I know that makes me so similar to Subodh from Dil Chahta hai, but heck, it is true.

2. About the coffee, I have one regular Barista cappuccino each day. I always pick two packets of brown caramelized sugar, but use only one. The other one goes into my bag and stays there till the monthly clearance happens. Again, wasteful I know, but true.

3. I don’t share chocolate. Or anything which is chocolatey. Ok, you want to taste it fine, go ahead, but if you do like it, kindly to pick up one of your own. Don’t even try to hijack mine!

4. If I pick up a book, I have to finish it and no amount of sleep deprivation, hunger or work can stop me. However, if I haven’t finished it for a week, chances are, I never will, and even if I do, you would never hear me recommending it to anyone.

5. I am addicted to shoes. I recently did this meme which tells you which SATC character you are (yeah, yeah, I am useless, I do silly memes, and quite enjoy them too, so sue me), and I turned out to be Carrie. The only thing I could see we have in common however, was the love for shoes. Ok fine, she has 400 pairs, and I have 20, but that’s not a bad start!

6. Oh here is one secret which can be termed as dark. Or atleast one thing I am thoroughly ashamed of. Ok, so here goes. In class 9^th, I was convinced that I was a huge fan of; hold your breath, Chadrachur Singh! I even had a poster 
of him (gifted please).Who Chandrachur, you ask? Please go away! In my defense he was good in Maachis, and Tere mere sapne. So.

7. I was once a regular reader of this blog, which had a pretty interesting fiction section. Then one day, I saw the blogger’s reply to a comment, which started with ‘I didn’t knew that....’; I never went back.

8. If I receive a message with a lolz, or frenz, or itz, or any sms short forms, I immediately judge the sender as an immature-college-kid. Same for those who don’t use the dictionary function in their cell.

9. I hate criticism. Constructive or otherwise. I immediately get defensive and angry and take it extremely personally.

10. I am extremely punctual and I hate people who don’t turn up on time. I hate missing the beginning of movies, and having to roam around aimlessly waiting for the other party to turn, but it has happened more than once. Luckily for me, The Dude has similar thoughts and now I never miss even the trailers before the movie.

And that’s that! Coming to tagging people, I’d say anyone who feels like it. Trust me, it’s fun!

Tagged by I love Lucy, I am more than happy to post this, especially since I dont seem to have anything else to write about anyways! So here goes :)

Pick out a scar you have, and explain how you got it.
I have quite a few scars, but then I will pick the earliest one which I remember the source of. A scar on my chin, which I got when I was in my 1^st standard. It was a typical Sunday morning, and I was all set to watch Mahabharata with my family at 9 in the morning, when I realized that my mom was not around. And there was no way I could have her missing the episode, so I ran all the way to the shower to call her out. The haste and the water on the floor, together led to an awesome fall and an unfortunate contact of the chin with the chair on the way. What followed was a lot of blood, crying, a huge plaster on the chin for almost a month, and of course, a scar which still remains.

2. What is on the walls in your room?
Nothing right now actually, but we are expecting a few Egyptian paintings to adorn them soon.

3. What does your phone look like?
It looks a like the Nokia 5300 Xpress music model that it is. White and grey slide phone, tiny, compact and quite girly I feel.

4. What music do you listen to?
In Hindi, lots of Bollywood and a bit of Indi-Pop. In English, country, and any songs which have a tune in my opinion, and lyrics which I can understand.

5. What is your current desktop picture?
A Chihuahua standing next to a Great Dane, a picture clicked by the Bro in Law at a recent Dog show he had been to.

6. What do you want more than anything right now?
I want it to be Friday evening again, so that I would have the whole weekend left!

7. Do you believe in gay marriage?
Yes. To each, their own.

8. Are your parents still together?
Very much!

9. What are you listening to?
The music from the ‘Kid in the rain’ Airtel advertisement on TV.

10. Do you get scared of the dark?
If I am alone, yes.

11. The last person to make you cry?
Do books count? Cause the last I cried was while reading The Kite Runner this week, because of Hassan.

12. What kind of hair/eye type do you like on the opposite sex?
Not any type of hair, more like there has to be enough hair. No bald men please. And eyes, well which maintain eye contact while talking, no shifting/blinking. Color, shape, size don’t matter really.

13. Do you like pain killers?
Not really, am not too fond of medication unless it is unavoidable. So if I am dying of pain, probably, but that’s it. Nothing to like in it I guess.

14. Are you too shy to ask someone out?
Never did. And will never have to. So, will never know really. 

15. Favourite pizza topping?
Cheese, tomato, mushroom, Jalapenos, olives, and capsicum.

16. If you could eat anything right now, what would it be?
The Sundae Sizzler from Bombay Blues.

 And I tag dhans_diary, aprilwednesday, kaykay_arr, Vikram and joylita(where are you?). Phew!
