The Maiden Tag

I have been tagged by Karthik. The tag comprises 30 trivial questions. Here’s my shot at it.

1. LAST MOVIE YOU SAW IN A THEATER:
“Race”. It was worth the money though the plot was unrealistic. The film was replete with crosses, double crosses, triple crosses, quadruple crosses and double quadruple crosses interspersed with untimely songs. Anyway I liked it because the film had a fast pace with no unnecessary dragging and it was a breath of fresh air from the contemporary Hindi movies that had corny dialogues and slapstick comedies.

2. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING?
None.

3. FAVORITE BOARD GAME?
I haven’t played much as to brand anything as my favorite. Chess and scrabbles can be counted in.

4. FAVORITE MAGAZINE?
Readers Digest. Does Hustler count?? 

5. FAVORITE SMELLS?
I think this sounds absurd but I used to smell the pages of any newly bought book. No favorite smell in particular.

6. FAVORITE SOUND?
Voice of any girl who pronounces the syllables in my name, in a sexy way.

7. WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD?
When you spend the whole night studying for the next day’s exam and hearing that you have been studying the wrong subject, the next morning.

8. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE?
Darn, shouldn’t have drunk that much. Now, which of my girlfriend’s bedroom is this? Hmm, should be Teena’s. Wait, it’s Jen’s. No, it’s Nicole’s. Aargh!!

9. FAVORITE FAST FOOD PLACE?
Does thattukadas count?? Anyway, I’m not a fast food junkie.

10. FUTURE CHILD'S NAME?
Depends on the nationality of the girl I’ll be marrying.
Russian: Lavrenty(m)/Lyubochka(f)
Italian: Antonello(m)/Annunziata(f)
Spanish: Eusebio(m)/Esmeralda(f)
But I doubt whether my Irish girlfriend will allow me to marry any other girl.

11. FINISH THIS STATEMENT. "IF I HAD A LOT OF MONEY I’D...?
Gamble all my money on the Indian hockey team and bet that they would lose. I’ll be double rich after the game.

12. DO YOU DRIVE FAST?
I hate driving. The ruthless traffic and hopeless roads of Trivandrum has made driving a nightmarish experience for me.

13. DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL?
No, I sleep with Salma Hayek.

14. STORMS - COOL OR SCARY?
Scary. Because I haven’t experienced any. Would like to feel how it would be.

15. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?
Haven’t had any; I’m still a student, boss. But the first car in our family was a Maruti 800 bought in 1991. We used it for 14 years.

16. FAVORITE DRINK?
Lime Soda.

17. FINISH THIS STATEMENT, "IF I HAD THE TIME I WOULD"
This is an irrelevant question; I already have lots of time and that's why I'm doing this tag.

18. DO YOU EAT THE STEMS ON BROCCOLI?
Yes, I do.

19. IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICE?
I find it despicable to dye hair. I’m pretty satisfied with my hair colour.

20. NAME ALL THE DIFFERENT CITIES/TOWNS YOU HAVE LIVED IN.
Trivandrum (1986-87), Thodupuzha (1987-89), Aachen (1989-90), Trivandrum (1990-present).

21. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?
Cricket, MotoGP and Female Wrestling!! The ideal sport to watch will be a violent cat fight between Monica Belluci and Salma Hayek to decide who shall "service" me.

 22. ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU
Very generous. He bought me a samosa and chocolate sharjah when he came to Trivandrum. Nice chetan, hehe.

23. WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED?
Cockroaches, lizards and spiders!! It’s been a while since I’ve ventured down there.

24. WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE BORN AS YOURSELF AGAIN?
Yes and No. I don’t have a clear answer.

25. MORNING PERSON OR NIGHT OWL?
I used to be a morning lark. Now I’m mostly noctural. But I’m flexible enough to be either of them.

26. OVER EASY, OR SUNNY SIDE UP?
Over easy. I like it when eggs are mixed with onions and green chilis.

27. FAVORITE PLACE TO RELAX?
Beach during sunset. Love to gaze at the sun going down the horizon.

28. FAVORITE PIE?
Haven’t eaten any so far.

29. FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR?
Any flavor will do. But the most I’ve consumed might be chocolate.

30. OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU TAGGED THIS TO, WHO'S MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND FIRST?
No idea.

And this tag is passed on to:
Ganesh, Rohit and Kishore.
