Thwenthy Feeve Randome Things

25…

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you're supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged, it's because I want to know more about you.

1. As a child I was nicknamed "Shabda-Kutty" (literal translation : Noisy child) by my uncle because I would always talk the loudest, whine the most and laugh the hardest.

2. Before I hated Ballet, Basketball, HipHop, Carnatic music, Big Brands, Girly things, Pink, Fashion, Girls hugging and "Love". Then I turned older, wiser (albeit foolish-er and Free-er) and rethought the entire thing.... Turns out I love everything I first hated about them.

3. I detested the fact that J-Lo wore a green Versace dress for the Grammys and it revealed more than 60% cleavage. I mentioned to my Dad that there should be a dress code for the awards.

4. I was arrogant, proud and gullible in school (still working on the gullibility).

5. I thought babies magically/automatically "took place" when marriages "took place".

6. I believe in smelling my food or atleast catching a whiff before i eat it. If it doesnt smell right i dont eat.

7. I thought i would end up becoming a paleontologist after watching Jurassic Park. And would re-enact scenes of gore with my cousin.

8. "Chucky" (Child's Play) was the object of my nightmares from (according to Shweta 1991) the very beginning. I had many sleepless nights because of the fact that he was a talking doll with an evil soul.

9. I was the dancing Scarecrow for my school's "Wizard of Oz" play and Mrs. Lobo called me "Scarecrow" for 2 whole years.

10. Deepa, Pallavi and me used to be best friends in Sr. Kg. and Pallavi loved making small choc cream balls from the Bourbon biscuits she used to carry in her dabba to school. (I have no idea why i rememebr this)

11. Each time I got an Infection/flu,etc. I thought I would die.

12. My sister and me had a secret handshake before we went to sleep. (Sorry Shweta, now they know)

13. Once when I went to Kolhapur my friend and I put toothpaste on our faces in the middle of the night because it was really hot.

14. I wear clothes that I bought when i was 12 now.

15. I love saving shopping tags, bills, movie tickets, rail/bus tickets, almost anything thats paper or looks attractive.

16. I was forced to take Ballet lessons over Skating class (Thank you amma!), and danced before Basketball and Singing.

17. I cant stand Mexican food.

18. Ayesha's Mom tried teaching me how to swim whenever we went to Royal Palms Resort, but i never succeeded. Even when i joined classes... I never did.

19. When i was a kid, i used to wear full-sleeve shirts, t-shirts and pants/jeans for the longest time. I will never know what i held against shorts.

20. I loved being the Red Power Ranger.. or was it the Yellow one.. i dont remember.

21. Once I caught a running train... and got pushed out of it too.. at the same time.. and rolled into an old bai lady with a huge blue plastic bag and was abused with a series of Marathi gaalis (abuses) :P

22. Fiction, Vampires, Supernatural- stuff like that, I dig. I always wanted to be a part of it.. OH but, maybe I am..

23. P.S. I Love You is my gay moment movie. haha

24. I cry (alot) when i watch TV Soaps (Greys Anatomy, Brothers&Sisters,etc) and movies and sometimes songs. I need the outlet to breakdown because i dont usually cry at the right things at the right time... And in a weird way, I love it!

25. Im easier and comfortable with guys better. (My sister thinks im gay).


NOTE: Just so that we're clear Im not gay and this took a lot of time to write because for some reason 25 random things just didnt seem too random to think of off the top of my head. It was DIFFICULT. Anyway i also forgot to mention I LOVE SARCASM. OK now you're free to go live the rest of your life.. :P
