Marilyn in New York City

I was home for 4 days last week due to a viral infection. It’s funny how we keep cribbing about being burnt out at work and how we need a long break...at least I do :) But when you’re home for a couple of days with nothing to do, you realize just why you wouldn’t be able to live without having to go to work!

I took a few quizzes on Facebook while I was home and the results were quite amusing…


Quiz 1 : What does your birthday say about you?

Result 1:

You are funny - Check

Your soul reflects respect, desire & generosity – Maybe. If they say so. Haven’t spent much time thinking about what my soul reflects. There’s hardly time to keep up with life!

Your gemstone: Aquamarine – Again, if they say so :)

Your flower: Daffodil – But I like gerberas more! They’re such happy flowers!! :):)

Your colors: White and light blue – What about red?

I don’t think this is a very good quiz.

Result 2:

You're upbeat – Check (well, generally)

You love life & exude an outgoing, cheerful vibe – Check check

Blessed with a great sense of humor, you can laugh at adversity – Check check check

I like this quiz!!


Quiz 2 : Who were you in your past life?

Result : Marylin Monroe! In this life you continue to be radiant, happy, whimsical, and daring – Check

But I do have an issue with ‘whimsical’. Of course I’m not whimsical! Moody yes, but whimsical – NO.

And I never had a white halter dress that blew in the wind! Hmmpfff.


Quiz 3: Which zodiac sign are you most compatible with?

Result : Libra

Really? That’s the only sign I’m at loggerheads with the most! Most of my boyfriends have been Librans (by some freaky stroke of luck, believe you me) & they were the ones I had the most issues with! My dad is a Libran & we see eye-to-eye on nothing. Libra-Pisces no like :(


Quiz 4 : Where should you live?

Result : New York City

You love the busy city life – Check (I’m a city girl thru-n-thru & love every bit of the city life)

You want to be able to go out at any hour of the day or night – Check (I couldn't agree more!)

You are also very fashionable and are dedicated to your job! – Well OK. I’m not a slave to fashion, brands & labels but I do consider myself to be more stylish than the average Indian woman, though I’m sure I’d want to kill myself if I’m ever surrounded by the uber-stylish Parisian or Milanese women!!
