So, here I dish out the answers…. Bon Appetit!

1. One dish you can crave for any given time of the day/ night/ situation?

Nice fish/ prawn ghassi made by mamama….. ANYTIME, really!

2. One dish you'd never had and would love to regardless of the expense?

Ever since I studied French, I have been wanting to taste the cheese fondue, and Gannat….

3. Most expensive dish you've ever had?

Can’t remember really…. May be the so called “grand” lunch, we had at Olive… well, it wasn’t really worth all the fuss…. More of salads and pastas that cost a BOMB!

4. Most bizarre dish you've ever seen or tasted? Like totally blown your socks off! Makes you gag every single time your lay your eyes on it. (Hope you've got the point by now: P)

Ohh…. As a kid, one of my classmates would get something for the break, and scare us saying it is Dog Meat : :…. Well, nothing other than that has made me go :O

(i'll refrain from pasting what Google Search threw up as results.... pretty disturbing!)

5. Your poison?

Iced Tea – Lemon Flavor and Water

6. One a lonely rainy day, your sitting cozily on your sofa, you'd crave for?

Hot tea and Sweet Corn … the butta variety….

7. First forbidden savory you'd crave for while you've been sick?

Chocolate Pastry, anyone? (Evil smile)

8. Your all time favorite TV snack:

Veg Cheese Grill Sandwich and Frankie!

But my most memorable kitchen experience was when Sonam and I messed up Maggi… yeah yeah… we have our ways :P

10. After a tiring day at work/ college/shopping/loitering you'd loved to come home to?

Rice, Dal and maybe a nice simple upkari/ bhajji of some sort!

11. A cuisine your most comfortable with:

Other than Konkani, I really enjoy Thai…. Simple and suits my taste!

12. A snack which you loved A LOT back when you were a kid and still love it till date?

Peppy Peppy Peppy….

13. A dish which your mum makes/ used to which you simply adore?

Hmm… should be chicken sukke…. Been ages though *reminisces*

14. Most expensive dish you ever had?

Oye, amnesiac….. check question No. 3!!

15. What you're eating RIGHT NOW? or had immediately before?

Apple : : : ….. Dieting anyone ?!!

Just when you thought it was all over...BONUS! (Don't cha love em?) ;)*16. Your friends are coming over on short notice. You have half an hour. How would save your dignity by being hospitable and feed your friends? (Considering you can't take them to a restaurant)

Ohh…. I’ll order in, and just in case am short on cash…. Will ask them to pay :P

And if I have to Tag someone.... i'll tag... Equi, Ram and Ajay !......

Happy Eating :)

Tagged by T ... part 2

So, the hot and happening Anamika has tagged me (just felt like calling her that!) … and here are my answers...

I can see few faces (three to be exact) scowling, because their Tags have as yet been unanswered… all I can say is “patience ladies!” :D

So, here we start the filmy tag-o-war!

1- Which was the movie that you had waited for with anticipation and turned out to be an utter dud?

Quite a few… most recent being Luck By Chance…. Was going to the movies after a while, and had quite a few expectations… as for my comments on the movie, the less said the better!

2- Which was the one most ridiculously stupid movie you watched in a theatre and then thought that you might as well have thrown that money in a well for all it was worth?

Oh, quite a few… I do that all the time… Kyun Ho Gaya Na is the first I remember! Followed by Jaane tu (I paid for a friend’s ticket too, u see!), and quite a few back in college days!

3- If you had to be in a movie or a scene that you would want really really to be something that happened in real life, which would that movie or scene be and which character would you be?

Hmm… my first thought… Godzilla… would love to be like the monster destroying around entire cities… what fun!... glee :P

4- Write three songs that would tell me what you lovvvvvvvvvve to do in your spare time...

Hmm… ok… here it goes…

1. Main to raste se jaa raha tha… (eating icecream, bhel puri, anything to be apt!)
2. likhe to khat tujhe, who teri yaad main (writing)
3. gaata rahe mera dil…(singing)

and here is a bonus…. Musafir hun yaaron… (traveling!)

5- Name a movie you actually thought was better than the book or atleast did justice to the book...

The first part of Harry Potter…. Brilliantly put! And Namesake…. Really moving :)

6- You are on a desert island... you found the island genie who granted you on wish that he would bring one person to join you on your exile... You have told the genie who you want that to be... apparently the genie isn't all that magical... he went to get that person and you are waiting for the procrastinating genie to get back with that person... What song do you sing while you wait?

Wow… u really put in a lot of thought to this Tag, girl…. Hee hee

Anyways…. The song, one of my favorites, would be boondon se baatein from the movie Thakshak

7- One song on your IPOD/mobile that was a huge hit a few months/years ago and the radio stations used to play every hour and seem to have forgotten all about now that you tend to listen to often enough

In Dino… from the movie Life in a Metro… used to hear it a lot back then, and do so now too!

8- One song that reminds you of somebody or a group of people... Do inform why it causes you to reminisce...

Ohh, way too many…. Starting from chanda re (sapnay) to the latest being “Jaane Kyun” from Dostana dedicated to Shantala… it is the most apt song, to describe how we pulled each other through some personal rut recently…

Psst… she dedicated the song to me too :D

9- The one movie you saw most recently and which lived upto all your expectations if not more...

None… have you seen the recent spate of movies??!.... make you regret being alive!

10- The one song you have heard atleast twice today... either on the radio or the cell or on TV...

Massakalli… from Delhi 6, followed by Kaise Mujhe from Ghajini!.... its played forever on the FM!

Bonus Question: In view of today being Valentine's day... Well it was when I started thinking of this tag, type down song which is meant to be romantic, but the lyrics make you think otherwise (There are a lot of Govinda songs I know, but try to think of a song not many people would know or think of)

I think Valentines Day is a rather staid and boring concept… but just for you, the “funny love song” can be ruk ruk ruk, arey baba ruk, oh my darling give me a look….
(imagine Tabu in checkered slacks and dancing mickey mouse, singing this for Ajay Devgan… get the picture?!)

Also, "Hello" by Lionel Richie... it sounds more like one of Purnima's stalkers... hee hee

I have to Tag Shaneee, Mits, Gauri and Alice

ta ta tagged!

its 2:30 am... am obviously awake because am supposed to be "studying" :P and i realise i have been tagged, again!! (GLEE!! :) so leaving aside all the inane theories some idiots generated about unfair competiton wrt Patents and TRIPS, i sit here to answer it (my apologies to Rachana and Alice for not answering theirs yet... Ajan is an idiot of the highest order, u see, so he wont let me be in peace, if i dont answer this, also yours require some time, this seems easy! )

so here goes the TAG....

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Following are the rules for the tag.1. No altering any question.2. No passing of question allowed. That means all the questions are to be answered.3. Pass on the tag to atleast 3 people with the same rules. Drop a comment in their latest post to let them know that they are tagged.4. DO THE TAG!!If the rules are not followed, bad luck will gherao your blog for 10 years and no one will comment on it for 10 years. This is true.Finally coming to the tag. I give you random - human traits, situations, values, virtues, vices etc. You have to say how far or how closely you are associated with them In case you haven't understood, I'm doing my own tag... so read it and follow my footsteps. ;). It's gonna be long, but nevertheless, do it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Laughter - LOL... it comes as easy to me as breathing! Ya, i find the most inane and sad things funny! I laugh during horror movies, i laugh when i remember something, i laugh sometimes for no reason at all (infact DD and i just need to glance at one another to get into laughathon!!... such that people around us think we are 'high'!)... and that time when Shans and me went into laughter overdrive in the rickshaw, almost getting us killed (out of laughter!)

ok, my quirk... i even laugh when am tensed... like, really really life-death tense! its some sort of a defence mechanism, i guess, but what the heck, it gets me stares all the time (do i look like i care?)

2. Embarrassment : From being the most self conscious one on this nplanet, to having no inhibitions of landing myself into embarassing situations, i have definately come a long way! and most of these have come in the presence of the HOLY SAA :P ... LOL! Right from talking to someone for ten minutes and promising to call them next day, all the while trying to remember that person's name to realising mid way through a performance that the mike is not working... been through quite a lot of these... FUN times!!

3. Truth: They say truth can be spotted in the eyes... no wonder i wear specs! For me, truth is completely relative! Choose the one that suits you.... hehehe, studying law teaches you something i guess!!

4. Lies: I could really convince you, it snowed in Mumbai... white lies are my forte, dark lies - part of my job! Being good at lying comes naturally to me (WHOOPS!)

5. Loneliness: The bane of modern relations, eh!! Well, as a single kid and all that blah, realised the difference between being lonely and alone, quite early in life! Have come to terms with that being alone need not mean being lonely, and yeah, thats nice! DO feel lonely at times (no superhuman here!), but thats just a part of being me... i really dont mind it! Makes me realise and think about what all i need to do yet!

6. Pride: Hey, am damn good at my work, and am proud of it! Am a good person, and am proud of it! We are always told never to be proud of ourselves, but sometimes, we all need to acknowledge that we have something good in us, that keeps us sane and in the race, nothing wrong in that! although, too much is pathetically narcisst!!

7. Forgiveness: Comes naturally to me!! I dont have to make an attempt to forgive, the moment i let go, i forgive, and it stops affecting me! People think it makes me weak, but it actually gives me a peace of mind, a lot of others can only dream about! revenge has never been the motivator for me, but yes, i dont forget events, simply so that i dont repeat mistakes! So people who may have hurt me may still be around in my life, but things would definately not be that naive anymore!

8. Hypocrite: ok, here is the truth! When it comes to issues and policies, i am very firm and i do what i say and intend to! but when it comes to people, boy, am i a happy hypocrite!!...lol Friends can really get away with murder, strangers are subject to thorough scrutiny! :P what is OK for people important to me, is a NO NO with people i remotely know or dont at all! I am a hypocrite, so are most of them i know!! :P

i tag.... anyone who can bother to be as truthful as me (the 3 am effect shows!)... seriously, no names, its 3, and i can barely remember my full name now, to sit and tag people... so good luck till then!

Do comment! :P

Tagged again!

I SAID : Nothing… and that made it even more obvious!!

I WANT TO : Fight with someone… just to transfer my frustration on that person :P

I WISH : I could go back exactly one year… to the days of my crazy trip with Saa, down south… or even re-do the whole thing again!!!..... How I wish she was here!! :P

I WONDER : if I need to start going out more… and if I need a break from the people who are driving me crazy nowadays!!

I REGRET : having so many inhibitions, in my past!!

I HEAR : voices in my head… telling me, I am wasting time :P …. And Eric Clapton playing “Cocaine” :P
(also, can’t get this song… Chaliya Chaliya out of my head….. aahh!!)

I AM : at the moment…. Stressed and alone…. Othwerwise…. Plain crazy J

I DANCE : in solitude… and when I take up some stupid jive and salsa workshop :P

I NEED : music, whenever I am stressed! Food, whenever I am hungry, and people whenever I need to talk!

I TAG : Shantala and Ashwin…. DO THIS FOR UR BLOG GUYS!!

Eight things not many people know about me

I got a tag, which i really had no mood to answer... and hence, i passed it on to Purnima, Tejaswini and Shantala... while two of them answered it beautifully, Shantala dared me to answer it first... (these MBA types, i tell you... are experts in blackmailing !!... hee hee)

But nevertheless... here i go, answering a tag I wish i could skip :P

First: I am really a moody person! My mood swings range from extreme joy and happiness (coupled with craziness) to gloomy and depressive times, where i may just refuse to get out of my shell! And i am yet to figure out how and when could i get a mood swing!... and when you add up my sensitveness with it... its one helluva deadly combination (that's where i get the "brat" tag from)

Second: My mind has a mind of its own... no kidding! i usually have three to four things going on in my mind almost at the same time... due to which having a conversation with me, on only one topic is almost an impossibility, at times.. (it changes when the topic discussed is food or something s;-))

Third:I have an opinion on everything! Yess i do... and i usually have an unnecessary urge to speak my mind, which usually does land me in a not so favorable position (if u may say so)... So wheteher there is a discussion on Himmesh or the Iraq war, I will have something to say... (whether i say it or not, is quite a different matter altogether!)

Fourth: I can't fake it i am a straight talker, and not many people appreciate it, but i am not sorry for it either! I could be diplomatic, when i know a person may be sensitive to my style of talking, or when s/he is a stranger, but otherwise.. i'd rather speak my mind and have you curse me for it, than butter you up, and claim to be a "good" person! (In short, i aint nice!!)

Fifth: I am unashamedly biased... about people, friends, where i come from, etc ! I believe we have certain leanings and likings, and i chose to accept it... though i do appreciate others views too, but i would always favour things and people i hold dear (sans question)... and this is pretty visible, when it comes to my friends... hee hee hee!

Sixth: Two of my basic traits include instinctive-ness and conviction!. I can do rather uncharacteristic things, in the spur of a moment, because i feel so.. like, i may end up trusting someone completely at the first meeting itself, truly out of my conviction (and this is clearly the case when it comes to friendships and relations).

Seventh: I can be quite a loner at times, and a craver for company, at other times. I am perfectly happy spending a day with myself, sorting out my life and thoughts, not stepping out of the house, even if its on fire! ... and sometimes, i have this stupid urge to be around people and experience the worldly ways, and not go home at all...lol. I can be lost in my thoughts for hours, and yet sometimes, it's really difficult to shut me up!!... i guess it stems from the moodiness in my nature!

Eighth: I can discuss and convey my opinions, my views and ideas very easily. But when it comes to expressing emotions... you can call me a bigtime loser... heheh!! Very few people know what and how i "feel" about certain things and people and even about themselves! I just can't get myself to be vulnerable enough to express my emotions before people... that's just so not me! Yet, everytime i sit to write (not blog) these things pour out by the dozen... probably my only way of self expression!

Ninth*: I doubt i would have liked myself, if i were a different person!!....... hee hee hee... so real kudos to all those who silently suffer the torture called as rachana... thanks ppl! :D

*Just for kicks... was fed up of such seriousness

Tag again....!!!

4. Something that you crave to eat RIGHT NOW!

5. The last person you sent an sms to?

Hahahahhah…….. excuse me, but everyone who knows me, knows that my Cell lost its display in mid June….. and my laziness stops me from repairing it… so in short I am in possession of a walky-talkie…..so no chance of sms at all!!!..... but guess the last sms I had sent to, would be a forward to all my Hutch frnds…(yea, it was still Hutch then… ;)) since it was free pf cost….lol!!!

6. Memorable Rakshabandhan gift received (gals!)/ gifted (guys!)?
