Know me in 11 lines!

1. I love to cook, eat and feed. Sometimes conventional, mostly experimental.
2. I love traveling places. I wish life was a holiday and someday I end up with a job that requires me to go around the world.
3.  Popping bubble wrap is something that gives me immense joy.
4. I am an introvert; audience or a gathering of unknown people makes me jittery. 
5. I do not have any of my wisdom teeth yet!
6. Sarcasm comes naturally to me at times, which often makes me jump into people's dislike list.

10. I fail to decide whether the hills are more beautiful or the sea.

Answers to Leo's questions

One place abroad you’d love to visit, and why? I would love to visit Paris - a city with a perfect amalgamation of love, people, food, culture and history.

Your favorite fiction novel, and why? Five People You Meet in Heaven - Mitch Albom. It is an enthralling piece of literature where every page is a revelation, every chapter is uncertain. I loved the way it keeps the reader inquisitive till the absolute end.

One thing you’d love to change in your personality and why? I am short-tempered - I flare up at the slightest reason, but cool down equally fast. Given a chance, I would like to learn how to be more composed and in control of my nerves!

Which would you prefer to play, indoor games or outdoor? Indoor. Being the lazy kind, I would prefer a relaxed game of cards or Uno or Game of Life or anything laid back.

Who’d you say is your role model, and why? Honestly, I have never consciously idolized anybody to the extent that my life would become a shadow of his/her life. But yes, I do respect my parents and their teachings have made me what I am today.

One thing you wish people would stop pestering you about? People asking me when I am planning to get married!!

One dream of yours which has already come true? The dream of being the apple of somebody's eye!

A rose in a bouquet or in the garden? Definitely a rose in a garden. 

A name you like the most (other than your own)? Male - Arhaan, Female - Eshaana

If you were to rename my blog, what would you name it as and why? I would not have changed it. Your blog is one those blogs with a almost perfect name.

One honest opinion about my blog? A gem in the blogosphere!

Answers to Karan's questions

What made you start your blog? My blog has two starts. Once in the absolute beginning, and I do not remember the reason, maybe because blogging was the "in" thing then! Then after a long hiatus, I started back in 2012 when someone told me I can't write. The comeback was more due to aggression towards that one person.

Do you encourage others to start blogging? Of course yes! 

How many incomplete blogs have you written that you somehow could not complete? Why so? I guess you are indicating unpublished/incomplete blog posts. Yes, I have 47 posts in drafts at this point. They are either not worth posting, or majorly incomplete. Just ransom jotting down of thoughts which you cannot call posts.

Do you have any childhood dream you want to accomplish? If yes, what is it? It has been my dream to travel places. Small lesser known places as well as big cities of the world. Someday I want to have a life that involves only travel.

What is your most embarrassing moment? Oh! it is too embarrassing to be disclosed over a public forum! 

If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose? I would definitely like to be Detective P.C Mitter aka Feluda created by Satyajit Ray. 

The best compliment you have got till date? That I am true to all the relationships that I am tied to.

Craziest thing you did? Ummm... nothing really that you can call crazy! I am the normal plain Jane kind!

Which possession of yours you can't tolerate to be touched by others? I won't say I can't tolerate, but I definitely dislike people fidgeting with my cell phone.

Define yourself in 4 words. emotional, creative, shy, dreamer

What does this award mean to you? Definitely a reason to smile :)

....and the award goes to...
