Wow! That question is pretty difficult to answer for anyone…ain’t it? Well, all I can say is I am certainly not Little Miss Goodie Two Shoes but definitely one lucky dame to have family and friends who love me despite the all so evident imperfections I have. Now plz don’t think I don’t have my share of trouble with family and friends…but what the hell??? They add colour to my life:)
I grew up in a small town in India. Gave my father a pretty hard time as a child. He was almost forty when I came to this world and I could never understand him then. We were poles apart. And I was this rebel. I loved him then too but can’t say I truly knew him. More than two decades have passed since then and today I truly understand him and love him more than ever and for what he is. My mother, she is something else altogether. I know its cliched but I really don’t know what I would have done without her. She is my pillar of strength. My world pretty much revolved around these two…until I fell in love and got married last October. And now I am here with Balu in Denver from where I intend to give you glimpses into my life and introspect at the same time…
As of now I am busy working towards a new dream. Lets keep it as a secret to be disclosed as we move on. Whether it would be a reality or not I dont know. But who cares?? If not this, Morpheus will bless me with another dream. I may have been short of many things in life. But never short of dreams. Yes! I am blessed by Morpheus…I am his favourite child!

A little BIT of me…...
- I love the sun…as in really love…madly love!
- Crimson is my color.
- I don’t believe in making friends…I believe in finding them.
- I can count my friends on my fingers….of one hand that is.
- I can’t be casual except in my attire.
- I judge people (mostly by their bathrooms
)… but I don’t hold it against anyone. - Moderation evades me…I live in the extremes- food, drink, work, love or hate.
- I don’t believe in complimenting to make someone’s day.
- I have selective memory…I conveniently forget the bits of info I don’t need…or rather think I don’t need.
- I love the smell of the earth and roasted corn after the first rain.
- Music sustains me…whether I am happy or sad.
- Star signs weren’t such a big deal till I read Linda Goodman’s description of a Scorpio woman….bull’s eye!
- Books are my best friends in every sense of the expression.

- I fall in love with Tom Hanks every time I watch his movie….all over again!

- I didn’t know what my name meant up until last year…when I was told what it meant, I wondered why I didn’t bother to find out ever.
- My favorite attire of all time is boxer shorts.
- I hate lizards… they creep me out. There was a time I had nightmares of these creepy crawlies every other day.
- I cant forgive or forget easily and that’s including the good things.
- I take forever to open up to people and even longer to hug someone…I have actually squeezed people’s shoulders and told them I feel a little weird when I hug.
- However, given my time I can give the expression “smothering with kisses” a whole new dimension.
- I love confrontations….but I usually play long just a little bit to see how far things will go before I get
there. - I love to wear men’s perfumes.
- I use the comb on rare occasions…I love my messy hair.
- As a child, I had a dream where a procession of demon like men passed by the bedroom window where I slept..The last one came up to me and asked me for a peck on the cheek…still vivid in my mind…Demon man you listening?
- Sometimes I would lie wide awake at night and chant fervent prayers that my parents never die…I ‘d check if my mom was breathing and then cry that someday she wont be.
- My most beautiful memory of my childhood is tugging at my mom’s gold loops and pressing them on to her cheeks as I drifted to sleep.
- I sang lullabies for jimmy rocking him in a cradle made out of my dads old dhoti….I hated that he only ate, made pee and slept. I’d poke my finger into his tummy to get him to wake up and play with me…How guilty I feel now of torturing him
- I slept with my parents till the day I got married. I gathered that they excused themselves when I found myself alone in the bed in the middle of the night once in a while
- I still sleep with them when I visit LOL!
- I accidently whistled in my class once and admitted it was me to a spellbound class and an even more spellbound teacher…..You should have seen her face she was like “you???”
- When I was in 5th grade, I had a tiff with my classmate and she wrote me an apology letter of sorts…somewhere in the letter I remember she said you are so pretty. You look like Juhi:)
- I remember watching Bold and the Beautiful secretly and wondering how in the world Brooke Logan could take turns loving father and son-Eric and Ridge!!!

- I was nicknamed cold stare personified in college.
- I am a sane soul most times unless irked by restless fingers in crowded places…I can roll my sleeves if I have to…I have…
- I hitchhiked on a truck once:) and no it wasn’t the truck driver who got beat.
- I am too lazy about make up but cant do without my lipstick.
- Every once in a while I go all out and adorn myself…silk sarees, kohl, bangles, necklaces, anklets and toerings.
- Once I emptied my bladder in the shade of an umbrella outside a railway station coz I couldn’t risk the stench of the public toiltet.
- I hate nose diggers, people who spit in public places, pick teeth, dig ears or scratch private parts in public (You are expected to forget the last statement by now heheh!)
- Farting is so not cool!
- Dirty hands and feet put me off…and this is graver than the fart coz this one’s voluntary.
- I can’t handle my anger….I scream like a banshee…if anyone doesn’t know what trembling with anger is they should see me…One thing that has cost me a lot..one thing I want to change.
- I talk to my pillow and to my mirror.
- My second favorite touch is that of grass under my bare feet…DON’T bother asking about the first
- I’ll never grow over “The Wonder Years”
- I am a Hindu by birth but I love going to church…especially when its all empty.
- I believe in a greater and higher power above me….and ideally I’d rather not put a name to it…but Ganapati tempts me no end ( just coz he is so darn cute!!)
- I am a sentimental fool and a hopeless romantic and THAT’S HOW I WILL GO TO MY GRAVE!
- My favorite line is PAMPER ME!
- I LOVE myself and am my most favorite subject of analysis.
- I was once an epitome of pessimism but now I am getting more optimistic each day…I HOPE:)
