Okay Sareeta Di, here I am finally with your questions! Ignore any that you may have answered before... Oh don't worry, Shelly, I will answer!! And aah, finally you did, come back with your huge list of questions!!!
Say you were deserted on an Island what 3 things would you miss the most? I can sing decently, so I wont miss that bit… I'd sing to entertain myself… and dance as well… and well what with my imagination… I could jus drift into a dream land… and let my imagination take me places….
I'd miss my laptop I guess… coz I need to express my feelings down on paper or on my laptop…and yeah the veggie burgers I'd love to much at times… and Mom ke haath ka bana hua khaana!!!
one thing u wish u could go back in time to change? Nothing at all.. but well if I really had to...then Oh, the specialization of my engineering.... I wanted to be an Architect... but then well... coz I had to go out and study, my dad preferred otherwise and I had to take up computers... which surprisingly wasnt on my list really... but since I was not averse , I jus took it up!!! If I did get a chance,,.. I would change that!!!
what advise would u give to your younger self if u could go back in time? You know what , one would want to advise oneself.... if one feels a regret towards his actions of the past ... but knowing me, i have no regrets, none whatsoever ,for the way I am now.. was ,... or will ever be... and hence...,obviously ... any advise seems unlikely... that I would want to give my younger self!!! I dont intend to sound pompous, but I am jus a person with no regrets... what ever is meant to happen ... and we are meant to do.. will be done... and we jus need to move on.... coz.... there are other choices to make rather than regret the ones made...
funniest movie? Shrek 1 and Shrek 2 Shrek 3 - Absolutely ... loved the series.... and laughed my heart out!!!
saddest movie? A Beautiful Mind...( It left me feeling so moved.... and I couldnt shake away the heavy feeling of pain and suffering and trauma, that engulfs one's heart , when we watch people blessed with brilliance so great.. and yet seemed to be cursed for life with a trauma ... that they would have to fight... and deal with....)
No movie, no story has moved me so much as this.... the book was what shook me altogether... and the movie... jus deepened that feeling!
sweetest movie? You've Got Mail…
best lesson-teaching movie? A Beautiful Mind ... again... A true life story , that only brings forth the fact that some of the best and brilliant things in life... lie buried , hushed away struggling to be recognized and acknowledged....and sometimes.... a lifetime jus passes away , until it is ever recognized... Such is the irony of life...!!!
best movie? 'The Lake House' starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock!
secret wish/desire? Aaah, now isn't that supposed to be a secret …??!! But well, all I can say , its been fulfilled and now I am thinking may be I should develop another… jus incase that can be fulfilled too!! Jus kidding… BHaggu has been too kind to me… I have had all my childhood fantasies fulfilled… and ones I never thought I desired , fulfilled too… and I couldn't ask for more!!!
favourite occasion? Ganesh Chaturti and why you ask… well coz he is my fav Bhaggu and wo hamesha meri baat bin kahe bin maange sun kar poori kar dete hai and I absolutely love this puja and everyone in my family enjoys this festival!!!
The other occasion is Diwali, but sans all the noise… I jus wish to see Diyas everywhere… and eat mithais and jus chill..!!!
in your family u are closest to? Clichd answer would be to all… but I am really really close to my Mum!!! She understands me like no one else….sometimes, better than I do my ownself!!
one thing u wish u could change about yourself? Nothing….at all… I jus love myself the way I am! Sounds pompous , I know… but well…
one quality u really like about yourself? That I possess a childish naivety… that everything will be ok… and I don't bother too much abt what is going to happen and I believe , am happy being me… so can never be jealous… I don't really understand that emotion too well… I might have experienced it since I am only human , but don't really understand it….
if you found out that u were going to die tomorrow, and u had 24 hours left to live, what would u do in that time? Jus get on with it… when I have to , I will die anyway and that is BHaggu ji's botheration how he intends to kill me…. Not my worry as to how I'd die!!!
if god gave u only wish, what would it be (it cant be for more wishes)? To ask him a question… and that would be " Are you happy with what you've created ?"
what type of books do u like to read? Books that give an insight into the human emotions and also an insight into the different cultures and places around the world… so yeah travel books.., and yep Ayn Rand philosophy as well… the only ones I read on idealism and philosophy…
Fiction books are jus as enjoyable and I do read a lot of them… and I am a huge Harry Potter … but off late… its more of travel and culture… which interest me the most!!!
favourite book? The Rain Girl by Herbert Jerkins
how many people live wih ur family? It's a small nuclear family… My parents, Bro and myself!
ur best quality? My optimism and free spirit!! I jus cant think negative or pessimistically… you could call me a hopeless Optimist that way!!!
ur worst quality? My tendency to pent my dislike or irritation regarding things only to vent out a later point is a very bad habit and she believes, I need to express my irritation and let go of it… ! Any am trying… but like the wise say again…"Old habits die hard"
any bad habits? None I can think of… I am a nice girl and I'd like to think, I don't have any!!! But yeah in the words of my wise Mom… I tend to never let go of the book I am reading , even when I have to eat dinner...and she has a tuff time getting me to leave it for the time I have to have my dinner!
ur nicknames? Angel, Sweety, Birdie, Princess
fav. candy? fav. chocolate? Cadbury's Dairy Milk(All time fav...!!! 😆) and Belgium Dark Choclates.....

Grade 9, coz I moved into a new school and this year was a turning point in what I was going to turn out be … and I met the teacher, who will always , remain my fav teacher , and who made me realize, what I really was capable of… and I absolutely fell in love with her outlook of life!
most prized possession? My spirit!!
And if you ask abt materialistic things, then it would be my book collection!!!
do u collect anything? Yep.. I am guessing you even want to know what , although you didn't ask, now that I have said yes, so here you go… I like collecting books, have a huge library already… and watches!! I am jus in love with them!!!
best hobby? Graphology - coz I can get to know a lot from jus a little sample of handwriting of the person is like without even them ever knowing I am able to see right thru their persona…
Much as I don't use this all the time, but having the knowledge of it… I do realize that it is close to invasion of privacy, in terms of their persona … so unless … people are comfortable with me reading their handwriting , I don't indulge in it…and prefer to not mention, and ignore it… when I do , succumb to the sudden urge to read thru…
But this hobby has also helped me understand who I need to avoid and who I'd never be comfortable with … ever!!
favourite season? why? Winter !!! Coz , it cool, chill… and I love the way…. The world seems asleep and taking rest!! There is a sense of calm … that I love about winter…
best day of the week? Saturday!!! ( I jus love the sound of it!! Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!)
favourite colour to wear? White ( shirts ) and when it comes to jeans… faded blue…but yeah its white…that I love to wear… but I can safely say I am proud of a wardrobe that is colorful…

describe your personality in 5 words.
Adventurous, free spirit, intelligent, instinctive, empathic!
FILL IN THE BLANKS:
friends are... a mirror shall they reflect your true self, hear the unvoiced, heal the pain…
family is... who helped me find myself and be what I am today!!! One of my biggest strengths!
love is... A divine blessing, bestowed on one and all, remains unrecognized, unacknowledged by many….yet blessed and guided , we revel in glory of this divine feeling
hate is... venom spewed by the fiend that resides within!
life is... a gift of the divine , a miracle unto the mortals, a blessing that the gods wish us to revel in the glory of …
IF is... wickedly addictive!!!
qualities i like in a boy are... the bratty impish mirth… that is quite endearing!!!
things that annoy me are... Pretence, lies and hypocrisy!
my favourite quote is... "A man is not what he thinks he is, but what he thinks, he is."
i would cry if... I am helpless and I desperately wanna do something to help some one or do something and my heart would never allow me rest unless I did something….
i would be really happy if... I am able to listen to my heart and do what my heart desires … which I do now anyways.. coz I am jus a happy person… jus happy…!
i would be angry if... I was forced to act against my will…and I am expected to comprise on my freedom of thought, which would mean to kill my spirit and that is completely unacceptable to me!
Thanks.. I hope you had a great week! Oh its been a fantastic week!! Absolutely rawking and you guys made it all the more special on my birthday and with all the wishes!! Thank you so much!!!
