20 Questions

Really wanted to write something but my life is a mess right now and I cannot sort out about WHAT I have to confess in my blog. So, I found these old questions lying around and felt the urge to answer them. I hope I don’t bore you.

1. When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Well, no one asked me this question until I finished my 8^th grade. So, I never told something fancy like “I want to be a painter or a singer or a ticket collector like the girl in the book Totto Chan: The Little Girl At The Window”. I was always interested in the behaviour pattern of a person. The way they behave with their parents at home and the way they behave with their friends at school, those two behaviours never seem to coincide as far as I observed. I always wanted to be Psychologist. To study about how men and women behave at every step of their life. I still find sitting on a bench and observing how people behave is more interesting than all the formulas and the magic behind Physics. I’m going to pursue Masters in Physics soon. Not every child gets what they dream about.

2. What have you done in the past week to help someone else?

I helped my friend by reminding her about an application form she forgot to fill.

3. Who is the best-dressed person you know?

I hate to admit it but it seems like all of my friends have good fashion sense compared to me. They look so comfortable and beautiful in whatever they choose to wear!

4. What is on your nightstand?

Its always a book and 2-3 empty water bottles. I drink a lot.

5. If you were a cat, what kind of a cat would you be?

A black one which stands out from rest of the cats in the world and scares people.

6. If you lived in a house surrounded by acres of trees, what particular type of tree would you want flourishing on your land?

That one tree which has peach coloured leaves/flowers blossoming. When the leaves/flowers fall, they make hell of a scenery! It looks peaceful and beautiful!

7. What do you find to be very overrated?

Positivity. Chill out people! Sometimes even destruction looks beautiful! Watch Quentin Tarantino movies. Especially, the story written by him Natural Born Killers.

8. How many e-mail addresses you have?

I have five I guess. But, I only remember two. Yahoo mail and G-Mail.

9. Have you ever felt replaced?

Many times.

10. Would you rather watch football or baseball?

Given the hype among my friends, Football seems interesting.

11. What is the wallpaper on your phone?

Two shades of blue. People still judge other people based on the choice of their wallpapers? Its 2016!

12. Name a lyric from the song you’re listening to.

I’m not a “music” person. But, I love this song and I recommend you to listen to it: She’s always a woman to me by Billy Joel. My favourite lines are:

“..and she only reveals

What she wants you to see..

..She can lead you to love,

She can take you or leave you

She can ask for the truth,

But she’ll never believe..

..yeah, she steals like a thief,

But, she’s always a woman to me..

..then she will carelessly cut you

And laugh while you’re bleeding..”

13. Do you use a feed reader?

Nope.

14. What chocolate do you always leave in the box?

You mean the variety of chocolate which I don’t eat? Milky chocolate. Yuck!

15. What would you do if you found out your ex is engaged?

HAHAHA. Such a wrong time to ask this question. I would be shattered to know. But, I cannot do anything. May be go into depression for a month or two and life moves on.

16. Do words hurt you?

A lot. You cannot even imagine. But, I am trying to be as detached as possible to people around me so that they don’t influence me with their words.

17. Are you a talker or listener? Is it ever possible to really be both?

Umm, this is a really difficult question. I prefer to be a listener most of the times and am very patient at it. But, when I start talking, I know I make sense and I don’t utter a word which isn’t useful to both parties.

18. Have you ever walked on the beach at night?

Nah. I would love to someday, with a good company, and share a moment of silence with them looking at the stars and listening to the beautiful music by the waves.

19. Who is your favourite professional athlete?

Right now, Virat Kohli. He bleeds enthusiasm and the will to achieve whatever he aims for.

20. Which TV show have you seen pretty much every episode of?

Many. FRIENDS, Breaking Bad, and M.D. House are few of my favourites.
