Tagged by Veena!

Veens tagged me. It is a long tag. Or, it was a long tag when I first read it on her blog.

Then, I realised that it looked long because of the length of her answers. Reminded me of some of answers we wrote in our Macro-Economics paper.

And it was supposed to a Macro level view of Economics. What hypocrisy. Anyways, coming back to Veena...

...I will try to not let the answers to this one, go the Macro Economics..read...Veens...way!

What Book Are You Reading: I had just about started with John Wright's 'Indian Summers' and forgot it in a friend's car. So, technically, I ain't reading anything.

Favorite Board Game: Monopoly, hands down. Scabble comes a close second. But if I were to extend the question a little, I can live on 'Teen Patti'. And there is a new Cards game I learnt last weekend. But yeah, basically, the gist of the matter is, that I like Cards.

Favorite Magazine: None in particular, but I so wish I could use the name of the Magazine I write for, Cricket Today. Aur toh koi padhta bhi nahi hoon.

Favorite Smells: Forget favourite, I can tell you the smell my system cannot accept, the 'tadka' ka smell. I go cough cough...splutter splutter splutter...gaadi bandh, everyday at 12 in the afternoon, because that is when it first engulfs my room. After that, any smell is good/favourite smell.

Favorite Sound: I love some of the voices I hear. Mitali Mukherjee is one. There is a cricket host, Mayanti Langer. And there would be some others, I cannot recollect. But yeah, basically, I like 'human sounds'.

Worst Feeling In The World: To be taken for granted...but then, I also feel that it is as much one's own responsibility as it is the other person's. Phatkey deneke to such people and move on.

What Is The First Thing You Think Of When You Wake?: It depends. Usually, the pecking order is,

a. On a match day, 'Who won the toss, and whos batting?'.

b. On a non match, weekday, 'What is the Sensex doing today?',

c. And on a weekend, when there is neither a match nor the markets...'Hey...what's the time?'

Favorite Fast Food Place: Oven Fresh, Shivaji Park, loads of good memories attached with it.

Future Child's Name: Sania...I just love the 'same name' Mirza.

Finish This Statement. "If I Had A Lot Of Money I'd" Give up on my current job and follow my dreams. Don't want to start off with what my dreams are, but the fact of the matter is, that my dreams would pay enough to lead a life, but not a luxurious one. And so, they have been suppressed for now...if I did have some more money, probably!

Do You Drive Fast?: Yeah, I drive people out of my room fast. I drive them crazy very fast. Apart from that, nothing much.

Do You Sleep With A Stuffed Animal?: You must be kidding, ain't it?

What Was Your First Car?: I shall pass till after I start earning and get it!

Favourite drink: A Tall Glass of Salted Lassi, divine!

Do You Eat The Stems On Broccoli?: I don't even eat Brocolli man.

If You Could Dye Your Hair Any Color, What Would Be Your Choice? : Black

Name All The Different Cities/Towns You Have Lived In.: Lived? I mean, what is the threshold, in terms of number of days, for it to tantamount to live? Anything more than a couple of months, it has only being Mumbai. Pune, I stayed in, for a couple of months. Visited some other cities. Period.

Favorite Sports To Watch: Cricket is an obvious. But sometimes, I like watching Hockey as well. I dislike Soccer, think it is one of the most over hyped games around. That is my view anyways.

Nice Thing About The Person Who Sent This To You: I like her blog. One of the more attractive blogs I have come across, it seems that she really likes her blog and works to make it a better place...the blog that is. Baaki, personally, toh nai jaanta!

What's Under Your Bed?: I just saw, nothing, a couple of shoelaces only.

Would You Like To Be Born As Yourself Again?: Yeah, that is no issues. I would not mind being Tom Cruise either.

Morning Person Or Night Owl?: No set rules, sleep when I get sleep, wake up when I need to. But in my frankest opinion, had it not being for the absolute necessity, I find 'Sleep' as a sheer waste of life.

Over Easy Or Sunny Side Up?: Huh? What did you say?

Favorite Place To Relax: Home, no other place like that.

Favorite Pie: A pastry person I am, no pie-shai for me.

Am I the first Veens? :-)
