20 things....

Had to think hard and write it! Cant believe I dont know 20 things about myself.. :((( Anyway, here it goes...

* Never thought I will make friends on the internet and actually meet them one day! (I met Chay and Geebs!!!!)

* Love my city very dearly - Bangalore.

* I talk to my parents everyday (have been living away from them for 3 years now).

* Love dogs. Snoopy and Lena are the pets at home now but Sheeba (my previous doggy) is my first love!

* Enjoy cooking and my hubbs is a foodie! The combination works very well I think.

* One of the many people in IT who just happened to get in and actually started loving it!

* Love watching cricket. Die hard fan of Rahul Dravid (and not Tendulkar!!!). Have even stalked Rahul Dravid's home in Bangalore in the hope of seeing him!. Nowadays, 'watch' the ball to ball commentory on cricinfo.

* Believe that Hindi movies are wholesome entertainment. Drool at Abhishek Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan and Akshay Kumar. (trivia : Saw Hrithik Roshan at the Heathrow airport last year! :)))) )

* Sulekha provided me with solace when I was alone. I loved the comments section the most and almost lived there. This opened a new dimension to my life and I love being in the virtual world now! Thanks to you guys!!!!

* Love Horlicks! Its my comfort drink for late nights.

* Spend 4-5 hours of my day travelling and I quite like it. I travel by train and so spend the time reading / writing.

* Like receiving letters (snail mail) and so have decided to write to friends and get replies. :) Also, the personal touch in letters is great!

* Enjoy putting a smile on the other person's face. I love giving gifts... and have a habit of 'just picking up' something for a friend.. dont wait for occasions.

* Believe am a strong minded person with a soft heart.

* Have a friend who has literally been with me all my life - we went to kindergarten together, school together, Engineering together and even got our jobs in the same company. We do live continents apart though now... but only a phone call away still and still with the same company! ;)

* Love all wildlife and have a special place for snakes. They fascinate me and I would love to work in a reptile park...

* Loads of friends believe I should be a RJ!!! Well, Salaam Namaste indeed! ;)

* Harry Potter expert (or so I like to call myself!)... wish dumbledore was not dead... dont believe he can die! *sob*

* Proud owner of the complete Calvin and Hobbes collection. Love the nasty little kid!!!! and the father too... personal favorites are the ones where the father 'explains' things to calvin... heheheh

* I remember the names of dogs in all comics I read - hot dog, snoopy, goofy, dogmatix, snowy... :)))

I TAG Choco Priya and Lucifer!!!!

Lucifer,

Guess what? u need to blog next.. :)

Doobie is fine... met him this time. He had managed to scare some poor doggy into my house and was snarling at him.. and finally there was a dogfight near the guava tree (leena and snoopy were only watching!)...

Btw, i have stopped hating cats.. i like them too.. :)

Will pick that up soon as I finished reading my book last night... :))) Thanks for that!

Vi,
Have a pet and you will see the diff... is my advice.

Love,
Dooks
