~~ Meme: I Mustache You Some Questions ~~

Loved the meme for the simplicity though I didn't understand why it is fixated on the number “four”  - Anyways, here you go!!

Four Names People Call Me Other Than My Real Name:

• Amma :P
• Deeps
• Deepu
• Dimpy

Four Jobs I’ve Had:

• Teacher/Akka - I used to give Maths & Science tuitions to school kids during my high school & engineering times – and probably have done a good job at it as am still remembered by a lot of my tuition students and few are still in touch :P  
• Always been in IT from the time I stepped out of college and have played varied roles – of all the roles played till date, I absolutely loved the phase of being the Technical SME/Onsite coordinator for applications during the developer/module lead phases. The most varied experience in my job stint would be of being a QC for about a year. Believe me, the varied learning experience & exposure during that 1 year stint was just just great!
• Baby sitter to my baby cousin once upon a time :P There was no actual payment – but would want to say that payment was in terms of pure fun & loads of experience :P
• Though I don’t have any concrete plans and this is not the fourth job yet, in future, someday, if not IT, I would like to be a teacher (I know its late, but would love to teach little kids in whichever way I can) or/and a novelist (am I eligible to be one is a question that I would like you to answer :P

Four movies I have watched more than once: There are many – I am quoting the recent ones only. 

• Gone with the wind (English)
• Bajrangi Bhaijaan (Hindi)
• PK (Hindi)
• Toy Story Series (English)

Four books I’d recommend: I cannot just recommend four books. It wouldn’t be fair. So I am recommending four authors. 

• Dan Brown
• John Grisham
• Jeffrey Archer
• Lee Child

 Four places I have lived in:

• Udupi/Mangalore
• Bangalore
• Mysore
• Chennai 

Four beautiful places I have been to:

• Flower shows (Bangalore)
• Goa temples (I know what you must be thinking, but yes, there are temples in Goa)
• Minneapolis
• Niagara Falls                

Four places I’d rather be right now:  I am happy where I am – But I would rather be 

• With my daughter @ home
• Back to school/college :P
• On my bed with a book
• In a movie theatre watching any latest release.

Four things I don’t eat:

• Non-Vegetarian
• Boiled tomatoes (I keep them aside)
• Alvathi (a green-leafy preparation Konkani foodies would die for, but somehow, I don’t)
• Too many sweets unless it’s really really really really good!

Four of my favorite foods:

• Anything made of potatoes!
• Anything spicy & anything fried   - Wrong combo I know!
• Popcorn
• Konkani Dalithoy (oh, actually, the whole Konkani spread except of course the Alvathi)  

 

Four TV shows that I watch: It’s too difficult to cut it short to four and moreover, I don’t get time to watch TV these days, but if I do get, these would be my preferences in each genre.

• F.R.I.E.N.D.S/The Big Bang Theory/Two and a half men/Everybody loves Raymond/HIMYM
• Castle/Bones/Mentalist/Dexter
• Downtown Abbey/Once upon a time/Grey’s Anatomy (Yes, these are not of same genre, but I had to mention them)
• Masterchef Australia series

 

Four things I am looking forward to this year (2016): There are multiple things! But all that drills down to only one final thing that I strive for – a year filled with happiness!

 

Oh yes, please feel free to pick up this meme and pass it on :)
