Meme me

My dear friend Chaitra tagged me on this meme and it was long pending. Memes are really fun and gives you a chance to think something witty on your feet.. SO here it is, the questionnaire:

1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 2. Write down what it says:
I am reading “eat, pray,love” by Elizabeth Gilbert and it’ss beside me right now. The line 2 of page 18 reads, “ ……, because I considered even that to be an act of war. I wanted to be all Gandhi about this.”

2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?
I have my hands laid on some throw pillows.

3. What is the last thing you watched on TV?
That was a long back, say about 20 days. We unsubscribed coz of the service provider’s poor service. And the last thing I watched was episode 2 of a series called “Lie to me”, season 3. It’s a very engrossing investigative serial starring the talented Tim Roth where he (a scientist) and his colleagues solve cases based on psychology and come to conclusions by analyzing micro expressions and encoding the facial actions and body language.

4. WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what time it is:
I saw the time just 2 minutes back. So I guess it’s 2:44 PM.

5. Now look at the clock, what is the actual time?
Okay, fine, it’s 2:46 PM!

6.With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?
I’ll take a moment to listen.. Okay, I can hear the AC gurgle, the hissing of the geese (Family fights, I presume. They are very aggressive. And fierce), chirping of the birds (I can see sparrows and grackle on my patio. They are feeding on the rice and seeds I have spilled), rustling of the tree leaves coz of the heavy breeze (Fall is almost here.. Yay!!) and the fountain in the lake.

7.When did you last step outside? where did you go?
Yesterday. We had been to Henry Doorly zoo in Omaha, Nebraska. Visited our relatives, the gorillas and had a hearty talk with them (Loved it). They were so expressive. The best part is Gorillas are as intelligent as I am [WINK with a LAUGH] and are herbivorous!! Ta daaa…
Visited the Ganesha temple. It has a very peaceful ambience and I put up an instant smile when I enter that temple. The calm instills instantly in your mind. Came home after a hearty dinner at India Garden! Slurrrppp.. slurrrppp…

8.Before you came to this website, what did you look at?
The obvious – my gmail account, facebook, CNN and the times of India e-paper.

9.Did you dream last night?
Oh god.. my dreams are Inception unlimited. And I almost always have scary weird dreams.
Last night I was traveling in a ship and when we were just about to land, we were hit by a HUUUUGE tidal wave and before I could even realize, we were all under water. But the very next moment I was seemingly safe in a massive haunted building near my school in KGF which is inundated. Some unpleasant thing happens there too. Can’t recollect that one.

10.When did you last laugh?
My laugh is never just a laugh, it’s demonic. I laughed my heart out this afternoon for a PJ Sree cracked! He is very spontaneous and has a good sense of humor.[A wide smile]

11. What is on the walls of the room you are in?
Lots of things. My walls are never bare. Phew…. A peaceful smiling Shiva’s photo in meditation, a couple of scones, 2 Chinese lucky charms in red, 3 paintings, an asian inspired serial light, a set of 3 flying birds made of bronze, a Kalamkari wooden key holder, the AC mounted on the wall and a small wall plate which says, “My house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy!”

12. Who is your latest crush?
It’s undoubtedly Josh Holloway of the LOST fame and Gerard Butler! They are classy. [BLUSH]

13. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first?
Well, some coffee table books I have been dying to own, a cute pair of black peep-toe pumps by Christian Louboutin I saw in a magazine ad last month (may be) [WINK] and tickets to travel around the world.

14. Tell me something about you that I don’t know:
People who know me, know everything about me. I am pretty much an open book. But if you wanna know something about me that you think you don’t know, SHOOT!

15. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?
Well, change myself! Havent you heard? Be the change you want to see? Smart innit??
On a serious note, I could put an end to world hunger. I don’t wanna see any soul dying of hunger. I would offer them some love too.

16. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her? a boy?
If it’s a girl, then it’s Gargi which means wise woman or Kimaya or Krisha which means divine.
If it is a boy then it could either be Praaket or Swarit.

17. What is the last film you saw?
Broken English – a rom-com. Something very mushy about them and I can never get tired of watching the rom-coms. I always go like “Awwww… How cute. They are sooo much in love” kinds! Liked this film. The screen play is simple and neat. Uncomplicated yet complicated, like love itself.

18. Who is your favourite super-hero?
I don’t know.....Uh, Hanuman, I must say. Some patriotism here, uh!!

19. Would you ever consider living abroad?
Yes, am living here as of now. But settling down, am not too sure yet! I miss India. [Sob-sob]

20. Your favourite sitcoms :
Some favourites include “Paapa Pandu” and “Silly Lalli”, 2 of the most popular kannada sitcoms which were being aired on ETV kannada. I have hardly missed an episode. Miss those days.
That besides, “everybody loves Raymond” and “FRIENDS” are an all-time fav.


Wooo hooo… DONE! That was fairly simple. Anyone who likes this questionnaire may tag themselves. Don’t forget to leave a link. Would be interested to know what you think![Smile]
