I have been wanting to answer those questions myself..
The best advice my mother gave me was: nee orikkalum konam pidikkathilla ( you will never do well in your life..if it wasn’t for that sentence, I would have never reached where I am now. I was determined to prove my mom wrong.)
My worst habit is: When I love, I give all of myself..and never learn not to trust too much, not to love too much, not to hope too much for all those too much often end up hurting me so much!!!
It is a bit daggy, but I love: watching sound of music and home alone every Christmas..
My first job was: Tutoring kids in the neighbourhood..
The thing I fear the most is: failure..I am so afraid to fail..
I am most contended when: I am driving long distance, I am reading a book at night. I see my children sleeping peacefully..
My favourite smell is: Kouros.. Muraya blossoms..jasmine flowers..banana chips being fried in coconut oil!!
I use the best room in my house for : reading and spending time with my kids..( my living room)
I used to collect: as a child I collected stamps..now I collect recipe books..not the usual run of the mill books.. I love old recipe books..the ones that tell a story..
A book I couldn’t put down: there is no way I can answer that question. I am a voracious reader.
The best pet I ever had was: My koi..
My worst fashion moment was: visiting the TB hospital with all my classmates and juniors..wore a saree to portray some maturity..laughed at some lame joke..only to find my saree on the floor..the string that held my underskirt broke..in front of all the patients, doctors, nurses, classmates and juniors ( not to forget the relatives of the patients..it was visiting hours!!) Valuable lesson learned..use stronger string not the ones that come along with the skirt and wear decent undies!
My favourite topic of conversation: weather..( you can’t go wrong!)
My secret skill is: I (am) can be a pain in the patootie..
I love this song..Have a jolly good weekend everyone.. I am driving to Sydney..Bondi..here I come.
