7 -> Satte pe Satta -> I've been tagged :)

Wise Donkey a.k.a Gayathri tagged me and I really can't refuse 'cause she's one blogger whose posts I really love. So here goes:

Seven Things you want to do before you die:

• Skydiving :-D (If you had asked me an year ago, the first one would have been bungee-jumping ;-) But me and my hubby bungee jumped on our trip to South Africa, so the next stage should be sky-diving :-D).


• Climbing Mt. Everest (someday).


• Attend Tango classes with my hubby Sri (Poor guy, I get him in trouble all the time).


• Own a really good telescope (I've been interested in astronomy since high school and can recognize most constellations, planets and have seen 3 comets :) ).


• Learn professional photography (I love to photograph stuff, am planning to start a webshots section soon :) ).


• Travel all around the world.


• Own a dog/cat/both (Would love to own a golden retriever or a white/cream coloured labrador, but I am scared of the responsibility ;-) So am aiming it when Sri and me are really old and cannot travel anywhere ;-) ).

Seven Things you can do :

• I can cook well (as I've discovered recently, its no big deal. But the credit for my cooking goes to my mom's recipes :). Will be coming up with a post on it soon :-D).


• I can sing very well (Been singing from childhood, learnt classical for sometime before I got married. Will be resuming as soon as I'm back in India. I also know the lyrics of most songs - be it classical, kannada light music, hindi film songs or english pop/rock/metal songs).


• I can bungee jump :-D (Jumped only once, but it still means I CAN :-D).


• I can trek/hike/walk for hours without complaining :).


• I can feel the wonder of little moments and enjoy them (This is when others are wondering what's the big deal about the same. See my last three posts, especially the last one).


• I can be alone for a long time without feeling bored (Have come to know of it for sure after I came to U.S..).


• I can drink more than 2 litres of water per day (Been doing water therapy since my adolescense. What started as a quest to glowing skin has become a habit now. I drink 1.5 litres of water right in the morning and later another 0.5 litres while working out. After that the whole day I keep sipping water at regular intervals :) )

Seven Things you say most:

• God!! (At least, I think of Him many times a day because of this word ;-) )


• What the heck??


• Sheeeesh!!


• Don't do this to me! (This to non-living things like a puri that doesn't puff, a curry that's trying to get burnt or the blogger which eats away my posts before I could save them ;-) :-D)


• Hello??


• "Love you" to Sri (Learning to say it many times a day ;-) ).


• Ayyyyo :)

Seven Things you can't do:

There's very less I can't do, but I'll try to find seven somehow >:)

• I can't still get over the fact that I'm so far away from my parents :( (Probably never will).


• I can't think of a life without my loved ones (Sri, Mom, Dad, Darsh..).


• I can't seem to stop biting my nails when I'm reading a book, watching a movie etc (will be soon coming up with a post on that :) ).


• I can't pretend to like people whom I dislike thoroughly ;-) (There are very less no. of people whom I genuinely dislike, but I cannot pretend that I like them even in front of them ..).


• I can't bear cigarette smoke. I get irritated almost instantly and make a scathing comment ;-)


• I can't help but login to chat messengers every single day..


• I can't eat meat - no matter even if I don't have anything else to eat (always brings a picture of the poor living thing being beheaden immediately to my mind..)

Seven Things that attract you to the opposite sex:

• Dimples, Dimples, Dimples (do I really have to continue with the rest of the 6 things? :-D).


• Sense of Humour.


• Intelligence and the ability to talk about any topic (but not a Mr. Know it all).


• Patience (and a lot of it!!).


• Helpfulness.


• Maturity (This I have found basically in men who are elder siblings. Younger siblings are usually childish and behave very immature though they are grown ups :) Just my POV ;-) ).


• Just being himself :).

Seven Celebrity crushes:

• Aamir Khan (The one and only hindi actor I considered an idol as soon as I saw his first movie. No others came close. But his "idol"ness has gone down a little after he left his wife :-p).


• Harrison Ford (Saw him first in the Star Wars movie and loved him. Was very disappointed to know he was in the older generaton already :-p).


• Pierce Brosnan (Can't believe the guy has a 30 year old daughter!!).


• Michael Jordan (One of the first Afro-Americans I liked :) Me being tactical ;-) ).


• Michael Schumacher (I know he's arrogant, but then he's generous too. He donated more than 10 million dollars for Tsunami..)


• Sachin Tendulkar (Yeah I know, I know! He's short. But I had this hugggggge crush on him when I was in high school which lasted only for an year :-p)


• Atal Bihari Vajpayee (Its not exactly a crush, but I'll be a fan of his for life :) )

Seven People you want to tag:

I really don't want to tag anyone, because they might just curse me ;-) But I'm putting a list here. Guys and gals, please post only if you want to and not because I tagged you :)

• Amit (The first blog I ever commented on :) ).


• Vids (I-care-a-hoot kind of woman which is why I like her).


• Sachin (an old friend who I know will hate me for this :-D).


• Neel (A blogger who makes very insignificant things extremely interesting).


• On9thcloud (Her thoughts sort of reflect mine, I guess that's because we are both in very similar situations).


• Anbu (You are caught because you commented twice on my blog. Hope you don't mind. Even if you do, I'll just have to bear your curses..).


• Loonie (Comment once and you are caught 'cause I have nobody else to tag :) ).

Gaya, I'd have loved to tag you, but you have already suffered twice with the tagging business. Lekin mein is tagging ka badla zaroor loongi :-D Hehehehee :))
