1. I can't cook to save my life. I'm a disaster in the kitchen. I can just about make tea, scrambled eggs, omlettes & Maggi! And no, I don't wish to learn how to cook either!
2. I am petrified of marriage & kids. I think anyone who knows me, knows this about me. The whole idea of committing to someone that you will spend your entire life with them scares the s#@% out of me! I mean, what do you do if you've had a nasty fight and you want your space? You can't run away from your own house, can you? Even
if you do, you'll have to come back there. It's like the "ab yahan se kahan jaayen hum" phenomenon from DDLJ! Scarier still are kids! Little things that eat, cry & poop the entire day and all you get to do is to feed them, pacify them & clean their crap! Literally. At the same time, when I'm with the person I love, these things gain sudden & inexplicable appeal. Contradiction..?
3. I am full of contradictions.
4. I am as unpredictable as the sea during the monsoons.
5. I am very impatient. ZERO patience.
6. I am not as focused & clear headed as I seem. I just like to project I am & I truly envy anyone who is!
7. Contrary to my image, I am neither a party animal nor a brat. This one's especially for all those people who don't know me, who've never spoken to me but have assumed I must be a rich daddy's girl who's got loads of daddy's cash to blow up partying, travelling by cab & shopping. So here's bursting the myth -I rarely party, and every single penny I spend travelling by cab or buying things I want is from my own hard-earned money.
8. I love style.
9. I like to look good. I'm not going to elaborate on this one :-)
10. I like wearing matching earrings.
11. I am a total "Value-for-Money" chick. I hate paying 250 bucs for a movie ticket. I hate restaurants that charge you a fortune but serve grossly unjustified quantities of food.
12. I love retro music. It's THE ULTIMATE 'pick-me-up' music for me. Works on me every time, irrespective of how low I'm feeling.
13. I am both romantic & cynical. I don't believe in a life without love. I don't believe in true love either.
14. I love space (both physical & metaphorical). I love open spaces. I guess staying in Bombay has taught me to appreciate open spaces. At the same time, space is absolutely essential to me in any relationship. I thrive on space.
15. Unlike most women, I love watching sports and can talk to guys about sports without sounding like a dumb blond.
16. Most of my friends are guys. I think guys are the more sorted of the two species. Sure, they bitch too but chances are you're less likely to be bitched about in a group of guys than girls. With guys, what you see is what you get. It's easy to figure out what they like (sex, sports, beer, porn, car etc.) and what they don't (shopping, cleaning the house etc). They aren't complicated creatures with a zillion permutations & combinations going on inside their heads. You leave them to do what they want, they'll stay out of your way!
17. My dreams are : to travel all over Europe & South America, write a book (that gets published), and adopt a child (preferably a girl).
18. I love to read. I buy all these hardcore "intellectual" books just because I think best-sellers are trash, even though the books I usually get around to finish tend to be best-sellers!
19. I'm a movie buff. Absolutely. I love to forget about my surroundings & my troubles in life and get transported to the world of the director. I will watch a movie in any language, irrespective of whether I understand the language.
20. I'm a bad swimmer. I'm scared of water.
21. I'm not scared of cockroaches. I just squash them when I see them.
22. I hate cats!
23. I lack initiative. I take time to get started on things but once I get going, I finish what I set out to do.
24. I will battle with weight my entire life. It's a war I've accepted I must fight forever.
25. I can't be at one place or doing the same thing for too long. I'm restless.
26. I get bored easily & this scares the s#*$ out of me!!
27. I'm an agnostic.
28. I'm fairly headstrong & fiercely independent.
29. I don't care much about what the world thinks of me. I do things that seem right to me and I'm willing to face the consequences. I also belive that we can't do the growing up for other people. Everyone's got to make their own mistakes & learn from them.
30. I've only recently figured out what I want to do with my life.
