The Rules:
Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you (or I think you'll come up with really entertaining things).


1. At one point I had 4 cats & 4 dogs. I love animals, i have loved and lost many and the cause was never a natural death. My Cats were always named after alcohol and my one of my dogs had my sisters names (imagine the confusion). I love Cats & Dogs equally.

2. My cat once had kittens in my bed. I thought she brought a rat to bed - nearly threw it out till i heard it squeal in my sleep.

3. I've changed my name 3 times and by the time I'm married it will be 4.

4. I grew up, lived and studied in the hills (nilgiris) and this had to be the best life anyone could ever have growing up.

5. I LOVE traveling, who doesn't :) Given a chance every holiday has to be a place I've never been to (barring goa though thats an exception oh & london,too many times is never enough)

6. I've had a best friend for most of my life - 23 years to be precise.

7. Water and I are inseparable.It takes me all of 5 secs to get straight in. I learnt to swim watching people, but not before pretending i could swim by walking in the pool and doing the breast stroke simultaneously. Diving (in the sea) is right up there on things I MUST do next.

8. I hated studying, there was nothing i detested more than studying & it amazes me that I managed to get through it. (Why subjects like hindi and math ever existed i failed to understand) I live for my work there is nothing i much rather do.

14. I cannot run to save my life however I've been on my school basket ball, hockey & badminton teams.

15. I attempted high jump at various levels several times in school the result was always something like this - run run, yes i can make that jump okay bar approaching oh ho this is not happening brakes on slam into the pole OR stop at pole and climb over it one leg at a time OR brakes didn't work so ducked head and went under pole. I always got my house 1 point for attempting)

17. My Family is the center & the single most important thing in my life - even though i know they complain i never spend enough time with them ;)
