Of late, my posts, many of you may have noticed, have been intense, heavy and subject to a certain trajectory path and hence, when Vee (a.k.a. Vivek) tagged me, I thought it apt for a deviation and saw a welcome change from the profound themes that certainly needed a short break.
So here we go.........
A – Available/Single?
Unavailable, Available, Unavailable, Available, Single ........... Currently Available, Single and ready to mingle ;)
B – Best friend?
A handful to count, by the grace of God!
C – Cake or Pie?
Neither! Not the sweet guy, errr, I meant the sweets guy!
D – Drink of choice?
Single malt scotch, mild beer and sometimes (rarely) Stolichnaya.
E – Essential item you use every day?
My PC and net enabled phone! A lot of my day is spent with the PC and the phone helps me catch up with a few dozen RSS feeds, emails and news feeds, while on the move. Can't imagine a life without technology!
F – Favorite colour?
Blue
G – Gummy Bears or Worms?
How about worms cooked in black sauce and served with peppered mayo? ;)
H – Hometown(s)
Ooty, Tamil Nadu and Kannur, Kerala.
I – Indulgence?
Of what kind? ;)
J – Jealous or Benign?
Benign, most certainly!
K – Kids & their names?
No kids, yet! Am scared when Mum repeatedly says "May you have kids just like you." Not sure if that's a blessing or a curse, though its reasonable to assume the latter, given my doings!
L – Life is incomplete without?
Folks, books, buddies and blogs!
M – Marriage date?
Good question! I read a facebook status message that said "I remember when I got married. I remember where I got married. But for the life of me, I can't remember why I got married."
N – Name? Your real name!
Rakesh and their derivatives Raku, Rak, Rock, Rocky and Raks...... all of which are real too!
O – Oranges or Apples?
Oh, this is about eating! I thought........
P – Phobias/Fears?
None! But ask my friends and they'd be sure to tell you about Rakesh-phobia!
Q – Quote for today?
Never do something unless you are sure of yourself, but never relinquish doing something because somebody is not sure of you!
R – Reason to smile?
As elementary as a bright sunny day, a Friday, the weekend and a lot more! The same cannot be said about a monday morning though!
S – Season?
Winter
T – Tag 3 People?
I'll leave this open
U – Unknown fact about me?
My alter ego and its demented thought process!
V – Vegetable you don’t like?
Perhaps this question should have been "Vegetables you like," for it would have been easier to answer "none"
W – Worst habit?
Hmmmm.., Should I risk stating that here? ;)
X – X-rays?
On eye glasses? ;)
Y – Your favorite food?
Nothing beats Dal & Chawal!
Z – Zodiac sign?
Virgo
Awarded
Destiny Infinity has been very kind to give me the Addicting blog award, which I'm very thankful for! I'd like to pass this on to all of you, who are each, such wonderful sources of encouragement and support, and also sincerely thank you for being so! Without friends such as you, it would have been very easy for me to have lost steam and direction. Thank you!
Very nice facts about known and unknowns of you.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on award rakesh and thanks for being so :)
