Your favourite…

Name one thing you would never or rarely get bored of doing: reading, dreaming, singing secretly when nobody's listening...
If the world was going to come to an end and we all were going to die tomorrow, how would you spend the last day of your life? 1. Dance in the rain... 2. Catch the fastest jet to Egypt with my family (though I doubt they'd want to come... you know, the heat and all) 3. eat all the stuff I wasn't allowed to... eat like there's no tomorrow... coz there IS going to be NO tomorrow...
Describe your soul mate: Handsome, romantic, caring, sweet, intelligent... basically the candlelight-dinner-variety plus... somebody who loves me but not obsessively. He should have a good sense of humour, should understand me and my views. Should agree to cook, clean and manage the kids once in a while... lol! Should look like Iqbal Khan with that awesome smile of his, plus dimples... should treat me like a hybrid cocktail of Cleopatra, Aishwarya Rai and Helen of Troy... He needn't have a fat pay packet if he can satisfy all these qualities...
I wouldn't mind living in an old hovel if my dream man treated me like a princess, loved me and pampered me...
i'm being totally reasonable right? It's a very short list... lol
Are you more: (pick the closest one)
Outgoing or Shy: Shy... totally
Organized or Disorganized: what do you think... when my room looks like it's been hit by a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, volcanic eruption and tsunami all at once?
Serious or Fun-loving: depends on my mood...
Optimistic or Pessimistic: Ok... I'm the kind of person that can recognise the silver lining in a dark cloud, but on the flip side I also make sure to point out that silver looks rather a lot like gray...
Studious or carefree: Carefree... didn't realise my boards were coming up until one week before D-Day! But hey... I did score well... Almost topped the class... lol
Is your style of humour/joking witty, sarcastic, slapstick, silly, crazy or just plain weird? A rare mixture of pessimistic cynicism, witty wisecracks, NV references and spontaneity... and what I can say is... people just LOVE it!
Do you believe in love? Why or why not? At my age, what we consider love, is usually a short term hormal surge which just leaves you with heartbreak. I do believe that love, is a great thing, if not THE thing... I don't go for all that "love-makes-the-world-go-round" jazz... love to me is where you understand someone completely, are in tune with them, and find a bit of yourself in them, a bit of yourself that you probably CAN live without, but it WILL be difficult...
and as you'll see this definition applies to all kinds of love, parental love, romantic love, friendship... all sorts!
I believe in love because it's always nice to hope and be sue that one day when everything is looking down for you, there WILL be some special people and emotions that can make you feel on top of the world...
If there was one person you could bring back from the dead, who would it be and why? CLEOPATRA... the eternal enigma ( to me and other Egypt fanatics)
Is there a fictional character from a movie, TV show or a novel you wish existed in real life? ZAIB/ANGAD and i'll be Kripa!
If there was one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be? Maybe my shy nature and my terrible temper tantrums... I would like to change that...
