' I cannot say no to anyone'
My first date : was in FYJC. It seems very clichd to me now, but it was raining very heavily on my first date. Actually this girl and I were completely drenched, so we decided to have coffee, and went to a coffee sho in Yari Road. We waited for the rain to stop and left for our college after that . Quite a romantic set-up, right ?
Honesty to me means : one of the most important aspect of one's personality. No relationship can survive without honesty. Love alone is not enough ; whether a blood relationship, marital relationship or even just friendship, one should be honest for the relationship to survive.
Love is : By far the most beautiful thing God has created. Love keeps you going throughout your life, and something that makes one very happy.
MY strengths: My confidence and hard work.
My weakness: I cannot say no to anyone for anything. Because of this , I have been taken advantage of many times by a lot of people. I need to learn to say no when I don't want to do something.
My favourite possession : Right now , it's my car.. I am obsessively possessive about it ! Even when my brother asks me if he can take my car, I start worrying dead if it will be okay.
If I could I would : Eliminate all the other cars in Mumbai and have the road to my car and myself alone! The traffic is maddeningly increasing in the city and you take two hours for a half-an-hour distance.
