25 random things about me

25 random things about me, wanted to make this list since a long time..finally made it!!

1. I’ve never had pet names that stuck for more than a few years! Few that I had for some time were beni (mom), faudi (school friends), niru (jinal), titatu, niyali (kids of my cousins).

2. I love doing crafts though I haven’t done in a long time. Last I did a bit of craft was for a birthday card year ago.

3. I HATE pulses! Really! Only while eating pulses my face contorts to its maximum level.

4. I have an immense fascination of vampires and dragonflies. To the point of obsession at times.

5. I’ve never slapped anyone in my life!

6. I don’t put on makeup until forced to. Also hate to wear jewellery. Guess that makes me a weird girl. Also I hate pink colour.

7. I love collecting smooth stones. I have quite a few.

8. I don’t talk much with people I meet for the first time. Usually remain silent. Making friends usually takes too much time for me. Trusting people, even more.

9. I don’t watch any Indian television serials. They are pointless and make me gag!

10. I learnt cycling at the age of 15. I once fell down from it when I was 6, was scared ever since. Finally my younger sister, moni taught me how to cycle.

11. I have huge ego problems and a real bad temper. I tend to piss off people with my anger issues but I am usually the one who says sorry whether or not I was wrong.

12. I hate my toenails.

13. I like wearing men’s watches and men’s non-musk perfumes as well.

14. Nothing can make me happier faster than an ice cream. NOTHING.

15. Somehow I like discussing sports more than discussing who is dating whom and related girl gossip.

16. Although blue is my favourite colour I own less than 5 blue outfits.

17. The thing I am most attached to, of all my possessions, is my blanket.

18. I own 12 Barbies. Still.

19. When I want to avoid talking something with person in front of me, I start flipping pages of whatever book/pamphlet I can lay my hands on.

20. When I am nervous, my hands actually shake like they are having some kind of seizure also I start stammering.

21. I can’t cook but I can wear a sari all by myself.

22. My favourite Gujarati word is “luchi”

23. My funniest recent memory with my parents is this one time when we had gone for dinner at New Yorkers, the south Mumbai one, moni kept asking for a balloon and mom told her to stop acting like a 5 year old. After about 10 minutes mom told dad to stop at chopati. Dad asked why. Mom said, “I want to have cotton candy.”

24. I have a blue outline right outside my iris.

25. I am allergic to cigarette smoke and eucalyptus (nilgiri)
