Adisha's Tag:25 things about ME

The tag came as a surprise from Adisha. I was immensely absorbed in her post and finally at last I could see my name among the tagged people. To be honest the tag was a complete surprise for me. Many thanks to Adhisa for such a friendly gesture. I used to feel envious of people who were being tagged but now when I have been tagged, I am sort of nervous about it

1. Being youngest in the family, I was always in a protected environment. Till date it’s difficult for me to come out of the cocoon. I am a shy, introvert person and take time to mix up with people.

2. When I was a kid I was so impressed with the movie Nagin, that at times I felt I also have the secret power to turn into a snake and used to wake up sometimes, thinking I will be sleep walking and will go to some place to do the snake chasing. I know it is too weird but I was just 6.

3. I was extremely skinny as a teenager and dreamed of becoming as fat as TUNTUN. I always adored fat girls. I still remember that when I was in class 11, my best friend was a very fat girl. Once the sports teacher was taking the height and weight thing and I weighed around 35kgs and immediately after me my friend was 60kgs. We were of the same height and our teacher commented that I weigh less than a chicken. I remained 35-40 till I completed my Post Graduation. But now it seems that all of a sudden God has recalled my wish. I am putting on weight and seems the day when I will be like my ideal TUNTUN is approaching near. :D

4. I didn’t had to carve a niche in school cos we all three sisters were in the same school. My sisters were quite famous and I was always recognized as their younger sibling so I didn’t have to work on my image. On the first day itself I got recognized by the teachers.

5. I was more like a black sheep of the family in contrast to my sisters who were great in athletics and other cultural activities.

6. The last time I participated in any cultural activity was when I was in class 3. It was a ball dance and a special pink costume was stitched for it. After that I think I participated in just a speech or two publicly.

7. School went out fine for me .I held the class monitor position from 6 class to 12th. I think my skinny appearance make the teachers believe that I am quite hardworking and sincere.

8. Being the youngest among the three sister’s I was brought up more as a boy. I mostly used to dress up in boys clothes and even now I am more comfortable in jeans as compared to the Indian clothes.

9. I learned two-wheeler during my high school vacations. I use to pick up my sisters, mom -- anyone who was ready to sit with me in dad’s Bajaj Chetak. Once I was through with my gradation I got maruti 800 to drive. All the time I was either on scooter or car, so my relatives started saying that I will end up becoming a family driver.

10. I wanted to become a doctor since I was a kid. I attempted the pre- medical exam about 4-5 times. I never succeeded cos I was never serious about my preparation. I believed that someday God will show me some light and I will be serious about my studies.

11. I am totally no-no to singing and I panicked when I was asked to sing when I was being ragged in my PG days. I had heated argument with my senior that I was offered water to cool down. I went off the podium singing some nursery rhyme.

12. Crompton and Greaves people were in our campus for placement. My interview went very well. I was called from my hostel for a second interview. They asked my opinion about moving out from Delhi and I stupidly told them that I will check this with my parents. I was not even called for the final interview at Bombay.

13. When I was searching for jobs, I started hating the HR people. At one point it was clear that I could get a job only if the company will have technical interview cos HR interviews were something that I cannot fare well. I find it very odd telling my strengths and weaknesses and where I see myself after 5 years. I am not sure how one can tell this when you don’t have any job.

14. My first job was in a law firm and I was allotted a big case file. I was not ready to leave the file in the cabin as I was scarred that the file will be lost among other piles of files. I had to be convinced by my colleagues that no one would touch anything from the table.

15. My second office was more fun and here I landed up to the MNC culture. I explored many food joints with my colleague’s. My best friend secretly fielded for me as one of the Miss Congeniality contestant. The funny thing was that when my name was announced I was standing beside the bathroom door.

16. I spent around 3 years in this office and I believe that I enriched personally as well as professionally there.

17. I had a very good time with my flat mates also. I was the most sincere girl as I was not much into parties and worked as a mediator between the girls and the land lady.

18. I am a complete shopholic, I can buy anything under the sign “Sale”. At times I pick up things which I never use. Also, gradually I have become a brand freak. My husband has added to my brand mania.

19. The first year of the marriage comprised of arguments leading to fights. I don’t know why but I think always on every festival by evening we land up fighting with each other. It can be attributed to my transformation from a working to a non-working person. Also may be my mind was so stuffed with romantic novel notions. How ever, just after we celebrated our first anniversary it seems that we have adapted more tolerance towards each other.

20. I spent last summer from may – september learning swimming, still I can swim only in 5 feet deep pools. I just get numb as I see deep waters. Now I am more scared by water may be this is because I have the experience of drowning in the pool.

21. Through down the lane chasing my dream to become a fat girl I have turned into a major foodie. I enjoy all types of food and chicken items being my favorite.

22. I am a very sensitive person, any small thing and my tears start pouring out which I hate but I guess I have a over secretive tear glands. It is one of the things that I don’t have any control.

23.My hubby and I are poles apart when it is to choose place for vacations. I am a complete city girl in my taste and he opts for unexplored wild areas.

24. I am quite unpredictable sometimes even I wonder about the way I behave.

25. So finally I am through with twenty five things about me. I am not sure if these things are going to describe me more or will leave you more surprised about me. This is what I am in a nut shell.

I would like to tag Sonia:)
