I love reading fiction and biographies. Normaly thrillers. While growing up I was very fond of historical fiction, my favourite being M.M kaye. But mysteries and fiction always topped my list of favs. As a kid I was totally taken up by Enid Blyton - Famous Five and then Hardy Boys. I found Nancy Drew somehwhat less adventurous and too girly !! 😆.

I am not into too philosophical books, but I love 'The Prophet' by Khalid Gibrail.

So, you too liked Enid Blyton's!! Those were my favourite growing up.. Did you read the other series besides Famous Fives? I too thought Nancy Drew was too goody-goody.. I liked Alfred Hitchcock and the three investigator as well as Hardy Boys.. Which book of MM Kaye did you like?

So, you came to the US after marriage. What brought you here? Was it your husband's studies or work?

Do you miss the great weather of the West Coast? This is one time of the year that I pine for India more than ever.. I was never ever a fan of the cold though I grew up in North India which had bitter winters.. So wondered what your reaction was with regards to the weather..

My question:
What should be the first and foremost important denominator of a human?

If you find it tough then I will give you a chance to ask me any question you like and I shall answer it honestly 😛 but I'm sure it is not hard for you to answer 😃

That it should not walk like a monkey...???🤔

It has 23 pair of chromosomes ??

Yayyy ! I got it !! To be human, you must be able fight with another human for no rhyme or reason... That IS the first denominator...🤡

OK, I loose. Now do I get to ask you a very tough question???😃

OK.. Now you know very well Ms Naughty that .. I was not headed in that direction with the question...😆

Let me be more clear.... do you resemble the person in your avataar with respect to hairstyle.. dress sense and savvynes...

😆 ok ok !!! I got it.

Well, I have short hair, but the style is different, though I do wish I had the kind of hair that would support that hairstyle.....😭

I love to wear wrapup skirts and carry them off pretty well, but don't wear them as often. I like to wear simple and elegant cuts with a little flair below the waist in dresses. For coats too I like style cuts rather than straight flats. In Indian attires, I love the elegant lanchas and churidaars. I have a special weaknes for fine zardosi work on chiffons and georgettes, I have a fetish for the sarees of these two materials. Silk comes a close third. I go for bright but light colours. So one can often find me golden creams, sky blues, aquamarine greens, sunny but toned down yellows, mauves,all shades of orange.

However, 8 out of 10 times, you will find me in a jeans and a comfortable T-shirt !!!😆 and Churidars, if I am in India.

Well, as for savvyness, I guess here you mean in terms of being social....I guess I have the ability to mingle with anyone and hold my forte. But there are so many things I have no savvy at all.......like I have terrible table manners when I am very hungry, just can't wait...😵

And yes... it is amazing how kids can understand when they need to cooperate when parents are working. We too have dinner as a family and play games and read books before night night. I remember my kids telling me that it is their favourite part of the day is to these things in the evening..

So true !!!

Very intelligent Minnie 😃. You get a chance to ask me anything hope you did not loose intentionally 😉

I think the most important thing is the mix of trustworthiness and intelligence.

Dear Minnie

My questions:

What is the background behind selecting your screen name Minnie?
How do you react to people who try to boss over you all the time?

Now beauty question 😃

Oh yes, I loved Enid Blyton. Beside her famous fives, I loved all her work. I remember reading Shadow the Sheep dog a dozen times when I was in Std 5th. And the story is still etched in my mind. You can say it was my first real brush with the make believe world of written words where words could make you laugh, cry, suffer in pain, feel the joy.....Till then my reading world consisted of Phantom and his advenrures, along with mandrake, Rip Kirby, Bahadur,or the unbeatable Amar Chitra Kathas....though I wish the comics had not vanished all so suddenly !!😭

M.M Kaye resulted in my first eye check up 😆 well, trying to finish a 1000 odd pages in dim light of a night lamp after the whole house is asleep does not bode well for the eyes; My father was a stickler about being on time, so everyone went to bed at 10.30 and slept, not read books keeping the ears tuned in for the creaks....😆

M.M Kaye's Far Pavilions fascinated me and so did the Shadow of the Moon and Trade Winds. Though I found her murder mysteries a poor second to Agatha Christie.

It was work.

I was not too impressed with the weather to tell you the truth, as at times I found it too hot, especially during the summer. Though it was ideal to take a dip or go for a stroll in the evenings. I feel of all the places that I have stayed the weather of Pune in India is the best .

I like the east coast, though I too am not very fond of this intense cold, but it's better than the horrible sweting heat, any time. With proper attire it can even be fun to be out in the cold, or just cozy up under a blanket and sip hot teaa/cofee and have some munchies; The summer and the swealtering heat of course is a different matter all together. Nothing seems to work then. I simply hate hot climate.

Arre nah, don't U know I am the most innocent and naive..how can I even think of doing that !!!😃🐷

I think the most important thing is the mix of trust worthiness and intelligence.

But I thought this outstanding combination was only found in dogs...🤓

And yes, I get to ask my question too !!!!!!!!!😛

Really you think only dogs are! I thought Manas was very trustworthy and intelligent, infact the right combination 😃

Simran is trustworthy mostly, but not intelligent

I know ! Brilliant people seldom are !!! Heard of Issac Newton? He had a small door cut out beside the regular big door on his dog's kennel so that her puppies could get inside the kennel more easily....😛

Now for my question: They are serious questions ok....choose any one of the following to answer as truthfully as you can:

If it's Zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be Twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be? 🤓

Why is it called a building when it is already built?

What do you do when you see an endangered animal that eats only endangered plants?

Why do they report power outages on TV?

Why do scientists call it "re"search when looking for something new?

What is your real name?
