Here's to my reunion with the blogging world. For anyone who will care, please allow me to help you know me first.
1. Dance is my first love. There's never ever a moment when i am not craving to dance.When I'm listening to a song... ANY song... I tend to make a mental choreographic treatment of it... along with costumes.. and props.. and lights.. you name it!
2. I am hopelessly attached to my family. When I was growing up, I didn't imagine this is how it would be. But it seems to me, now, that I do put my family before anything else in this world. Specially, my almost-10-month-old niece, Zara. Not that I would ever compare Her with anything, but if I had to, all else would seem far too dismal, far too petty and far too unimportant. The first time I saw her, I felt this gush of strange unconditional love, which I know for sure, was a first! And that has not changed, since.. and has not been felt for any other, either. She is the most beautiful and lovable being that I know. Barely 10 months in my world, and look what she's done to me.. Even writing about her, gives me a lump in my throat. :-)
3. I am nostalgic about EVERYTHING to do with Kolkata, EVERY single moment of the day.
4. I would hate to be judged. And I do not judge, either.
5. Contrary to popular belief, I am NOT a cleanliness freak. It is just that I am a little more organised and a lot cleaner than those of you who accuse me of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)! It is a matter of Relativity. And, it is my belief, that it is perfectly healthy to lose sleep if there are certain corners of one's house that may not have been cleaned!
6. I am curt and dry, which DOES NOT mean I'm rude. Just that I can't pull off the sweet, friendly and polite visage just because circumstances need me to. I am myself (which I can safely say, is a happy, chirpy, talkative and very social body) with "My People", my friends, with people I personally know very well and the company of who, keeps me perfectly comfortable. Yes, go ahead, call me a snob! You will never have me agree to that ;)
7. I detest it when I am called "size zero". Because, fact is, I am not. I am definitely healthier and fitter.. just not obese! And believe it or not, I love food.
8. I love Shah Rukh Khan. Have loved him for as long as I can remember. I cannot get over that man. I love anything he does. Anything he says. Everything about him. ONE DAY I shall be friends with him. It is a must.
9. I am very very extremely possessive about my space. People (yes, in particular) need to understand that I was'nt born to only be there for them. Even if I have nothing to do, most of the time I just like my own company more than anyone else's. That reminds me - I am, in general, a very possessive person.
10. With absolutely no offence meant to anyone, bad dressing sense really bothera me a great deal. Not like I organise the Milan Fashion Week or anything, but I still think, yes, clothes maketh a man (not gender specific).. and I genuinely feel this mental turmoil when I see badly dressed people around me. Believe me, I dont want to sound conceited when I say this, but if I could do it without seeming incredibly rude, then I would give up everything and spend the rest of my life attempting to rectify people's wardrobes! And now, please refer back to the first seven words that I started this point with.
11.I am firm, sometimes to the extent of being stubborn. I will never get influenced or convinced unless I WANT TO!
12. Being sarcastic does great things to my heart. But i try to keep in under control. I try all the time. With not-very-good success rates :-(
13. I dont like to read books. And I am technologically challenged. And i fail to understand why these things should make me seem abnormal!
14. In 17 years of academic life, apart from English paper I and II, not even ONCE have i been remotely academically appreciated :-(
15. Chocolate and shoes completely mesmerize and hypnotise me.
16. I dont dislike anybody. it takes too much time and effort. I do dislike two qualities in people though : LYING and IMPUNCTUALITY!
17. I detest know-it-alls. I really really really detest them. Not because, I personally suck at GK, but just generally I detest them.
18. I love bitching. And I can bitch extensively. Though, I must mention, performance is particularly brilliant with my girl-gang! *winks*
20. On many many days, I pretty much hate myself for things I did or said. So I really cant relate to ppl who say, "Oh I have no regrets in life!"
21. I cannot say I'm a rebel particularly, but then I've never been a big fan of rules either.
22. I... DO... NOT... LIKE... TO... SHARE.. FOOD! So dont even ASK me if it is ok to pick on my food, because IT IS NOT!
23. I am dramatic, uber-sensitive, tactless. And more often then not, I am "dark and twisted" just like Meredith Grey. I shudder to think of what a bore I would be, if I were not this way.
24. I love too many people.. and a little too much for my own sanity.
25. Here's who complete me. Here's who I had in mind, when I talked about "My People". The list has evolved over the years (and dont read if you're not patient, because it's quite a list):
Zaru, Guddu, Indrajit, The family, Swati, Snowy, Chicku, Kayal, Shruti, Saurabh, Toyna, Megha, Maurice, Yasser, Bonny, Dinx, Sayo, Imran, Rishv, Utsab, Chiro, Dammy, Sweta, Shoham, Ricky, Sumit.
