30. OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU TAGGED THIS TO, WHO'S MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND FIRST? Ann

And this tag goes to..

Nanditha

The old easy tag!! ;-P

A tag that I hope gets me off the block.. I was tagged by this lady who never crumbles under pressure and hence logically named her blog CRUMBS!!

The inconsequential rules are:-
* Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
* People who are tagged need to write posts in their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
* At the end of your post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

So here it is:

1.Adrenalin rush and I don’t get along with each other.. I prefer a quite coffee in a balcony over-looking the Alps to the roller coaster in Disney land

2.I love cocktails especially Pina Colada..!! I wish that taps back home supplied Pina colada instead of the deceptive chlorinated water.. Caribbean’s are really the most lucky people in the world.. Pina Colada and pristine beaches.. Shangri La!!

3.I have a celebrity crush almost every month. All started some time in the 90’s.. After I saw ‘1942 a love story’ Manisha Koirala was the best thing in the world! Well then I figured it out that 1942 was a long time ago and she must be an old nanny by now. Nowadays I like this girl in the song... minnalazhakey!!

4.I used to believe wouldn’t seriously affect my daily life.. But seriously I have gone numb after I saw “Sivaji”.. The movie is a real trendsetter. It breaks all rules of common sense and established limits of exaggeration. Man how could you come up with such a stupid movie!!! Docs say it is a case of irreversible psychic shock-induced cognitive impairment!!

5.I have an irresistible appetite in the mornings. . Back in Mysore, I used to pay extra bucks for my morning breakfast in the mess feeling ashamed that I was cutting deep into their profits!!

6.I love cooking.!!. But it really pisses me off when folks exploit under the pretext that I like cooking. I sincerely believe that a meal with the wrong amount of salt and spices cooked with love is much better than a meal with all the right ingredients but cooked with grudge and sadness. Guess folks who did shared accommodation knows what am talking about…

7.I play it absolutely cool during air travel when those severe turbulences happen. I give this...”Eh...It happens all the time...You know I have seen this before ;-P” look to the startled fellow passenger.. Honestly I guess I might have been the only tensed freaked up guy in the whole aircraft (Those nice perfumed tissues covers up all the sweating that is happening)!!

8.I love boat rides. And especially relish the ferry ride to office. It is like the boat caresses you before the hard grind in office. There is something melancholic about the sway of a boat.. It reminds me of idle times…


And the tag goes too..
1. Alexis who is getting a wee bit lazy like me..
2. Anjali coz she tagged me with the most difficult tag evah and I need to figure out how to take that tag..
3. Red Soul who apparently bought a new cam and clicking snaps to glory
4. Anyone who saw Oceans 13
5. Mishmaash..I know you are a foodie blogger..But in case you get time for something different…
6. Anand..Where the hell is he now!!!
7. Nariyal Chutney..Well only if you served Fish Mappas as well!!
8. Any Frasier fan!!
