Eyes Speak Lies ...

TAGging along

This is my last post on this blog. College is over, life's changed quite a bit recently, and I've felt for quite sometime that I've outgrown this blog. I started it three and a half years ago, it has borne through quite a lot of bad things that I've written, some good ones too (hopefully), and most importantly, it has given me so many great friends that I wouldn't have found otherwise.

As a last post here, I'll do a tag by Sayandi, the person I respect and admire the most among all the friends this blog has given me. I have a new blog where I intend to be a lot more regular, at least till I'm at home. It'll have a different flavour to it, and hopefully give the impression that I've grown in this duration. :) The new blog can be found here.

Name three most valuable assets.
Books (no surprises there), laptop (with internet), and friends.

One truth in your life that haunts you every day?
The fact that, at one point or another in my life, I’ve hurt all the people that I love the most and that I’m likely to do it again in moments of thoughtlessness..

If you were to be stranded on a deserted island, who are the three blog buddies you would take alongside with you?
I can’t pick three. Has to be all of them. They would be (in no particular order) - Akanksha for her dreams, Amiya for being so talkative and funny, Rohit for his ‘chillax’ attitude, Sayandi for her sarcasm, Jayant simply because he exists (:P), Richa for photography (sorry Rohit!), Ishani for talking about books (Amiya, you're for just talking! :P), and Sinjini for her zest for life and for being so completely adorable.

Where is the place that you want to go the most?
Greece tops the list, but mainly it is ALL of Europe, from its westernmost corner to the Asian border, and I want to not just visit everything but also know about the history of each place, learn each language, understand the architectural differences between countries, be able to critically appreciate works of Van Gogh, Dali, Picasso, Monet etc, and the most difficult of them all, listen and be in awe of the music of Mozart and Beethoven and other greats.

If you can have one dream to come true, what would it be?
Find an eternal love and a true friend (hopefully in one person).

What are you afraid to lose the most in yourself?
Innocence and/or sincerity.

What would you do if you found a briefcase full of money?
Would be very tempted to use the money for myself. If I feel that the police will be able to restore it to its rightful owner, I’ll go to the police. If I feel otherwise, I’ll use it for what I would think a noble cause, and maybe a little bit for myself as well (after justifying to myself that I’ve used a major portion on something meaningful).

If you meet someone that you love, would you confess to him/her?
Yes. What’s the point of not doing so?

Which type of person do you dislike the most?
Hypocritical, those who have double-standards, and the ones that go back on their word.

What is your ambition?
To help my mother (that is, if she ever needs it) to reach such a level (financially, emotionally, socially, career-wise, and any other you can think of) in life that no one, absolutely no one in life can touch her.

If you were given the chance to have one super power, what would it be and why?
To be able to suck out all negative feelings from any person I come in contact with. Hence or otherwise, make everyone smile.

For you life is?
For actions on your convictions.

If you could do one thing different in life, what would it be?
Use my potential to the fullest at places where I have put in half-hearted efforts (and that is almost at every major juncture in my short life).

Are you a shopaholic?
Sometimes.

Which actor/actress would you like to be?
I’ve never really wanted to be anyone else, but if I had to answer this question, I’d say Hugh Grant. I have a huge crush on the guy. He’s irresistible!

One song that gives you goosebumps?
Three of them – Tumse milke, aisa laga tumse milke, armaan hue poore dil ke (Parinda)
Ek din aap yun humko mil jayenge, maine socha na tha (Yes Boss)
Ae ajnabi, tu bhi kabhi, aawaz de kahin se (Dil Se)

Do you have any plans for tomorrow?
To write..

I tag?
Guess I’m the last one to do it anyway. I tag whoever’s left.

See you all at my new blog.
