Do you believe in a God? 

Yes, I do!

 

Have you ever bought a product from an infomercial? 

No!

 

If you could give up your car and never have to drive again, would you? 

I will not give up my car, but I am all game for an arrangement where I don’t have to drive! No second thoughts there!

 

If you go back to one point in time to give advice to yourself, when would you go and what would you say? 

I don’t have any regrets! The decisions I have made in my life has been my own and has made me what I am today. I probably wouldn’t change a thing.

 

What’s your “quirkiest” habit? 

I have many! Don’t know which is the quirkiest! If you know me well, you would know how difficult it is to choose one of those many  I am sure a couple of you who read this can give it a try and let me know which you think is my quirkiest one?

 

What is the best TV theme song ever? 

F.R.I.E.N.D.S and Downtown Abbey

 

When you were young, what would you dream you would be when you grew up? 

I am still young, ahem, ahem, and I still do have dreams, mostly of reading, travelling – basically completing my bucket list items! When I was a kid, I always wanted to be either a teacher or a doctor!

 

What part of the past year sticks out in your mind? 

Past year just zoomed by. But there were times when time stood still and I couldn’t for the life of me understand what exactly was going on…I grew a little (only a little) mature with those experiences. However, what stands out the most, is, my daughter’s fifth birthday which I had to arrange single handedly (I was literally all over the place the whole of June trying to get things done for her big day) and also December last week for its unusual heart-break moments.

 

What’s the best route to your heart? 

Honesty even if truth hurts sometimes. I cannot stand lies from the ones I consider close to me..

 

Have you ever met someone through the internet, then met them in real life? 

Yes.

 

What is your favorite sport?

I am not much into sports! If I have to pick a favorite, I guess it would be cricket.

 

What has been troubling you lately? 

All the negativity in the social media/news/newspapers.

 

What do you use more often: your intuition or logical reasoning? 

Both I guess. Personal life – I mostly go by my gut feeling!

 

Tell me about the last book you read. 

I completed Deception Point by Dan Brown recently and found it exceedingly boring for the first few chapters as compared to the other 2 popular ones that I have read (multiple times) from the same author. However, it so happened that I had judged the book too soon, and as the plot progressed, I was hooked. Completely un-put-down-able kinda hooked. There are a lot of sequences in the book which is completely unimaginable and you are almost sure that everyone is just gonna just die and you kind of want to get it over with as soon as possible and keep wondering what the rest of the book is about if everyone is dying now, but something happens, and boom, there’s a miraculous escape every single time. It was totally unbelievable that the characters escaped death by seconds so many many many times, but hey, its fiction, and well, that’s kind of what kept me hooked to the book! I read most of chapters towards the end without a single break.

 

What is the nicest compliment you’ve ever been given? 

>> Most of the times, in the past (not to be misinterpreted as when I was young), – I used to get complimented for being very sweeeeeeeeeeeet….I used to feel, Hmmm, Really?

>> My husband takes these power naps of about half an hour whenever he feels like and after such a nap, he is back to life as fresh as a morning dew. I still don’t understand the concept of power naps. I am of that category, where I need half an hour to doze off and a solid 2 to 3 hours of continuous sleep to feel refreshed. Anyways, once during such a nap, my husband woke up suddenly and looked around  with an bewildered expression to the likes of  “main kahaan hoon” (where am I). He found me sitting next to him, relaxed a bit and gave me a very very very sweet smile, kind of assuring himself that he is where he needs to be and then went back to his power nap. Now, I was too startled by his sudden waking up and smiling and all, but I had managed to smile back. After he went back to sleep, I relaxed and realized that he has never smiled so sweetly at me, never ever when he was actually awake! I have till date, not asked him the reason for that sweet smile, and I don’t know if this recognition can be considered as a compliment, but that moment where he recognized me in his semi-sleepy-sub-conscious self is frozen as the sweetest compliment he has ever given me without his knowledge 

 

Who was your first crush? 

What the hell is a crush? I have never understood the concept of it. Either you love a person or you don’t. How can you feel something in between?

 

Do you believe that there is life on other planets? 

Yes.

 

Where is your favorite place to go out and eat? 

I am a big foodie. Also, I am supposedly always on diet which isn’t working a bit, I tell you. So it’s quite rare that I eat out, though I love to. Of the recent places I have been to, I totally loved BBQ Nation and Little Italy.

 

Early bird or night owl? 

Night owl!

 

Are there any childhood possessions you still hold on to?

Yes. Probably a couple of boxes full of such stuff.
