before I sleep

Last movie seen in a theatre: One Two Three
Have you heard the title song, its so simple and true that if one just think over lyrics for once, a smile is inevitable
1-2-3 1-2-3,
duniya main aana hai free,
duniya se jaana hai free,
dekh tamasha duniya ka ek dum free,
1-2-3 1-2-3

What book are you reading:
  1. Life of Pi (Yann Martel) - Imagine a person who wants to be Christian, Hindu, Muslim, and Jew, devoted to god, gets stuck in a life-boat after loosing all his family in vast Pacific Ocean. Ahan its not Caste Away dear, he has companions, a zebra, an orangutang, a hyena, and a bengal tiger :-).
  2. Society of Mind (Marvin Minsky) - Mind is made up of mindless matter usually considered to be clustered in societies which when separate has no meaning but when they are together to do a task, the meaning becomes obvious. Mystery remains as what engages and disengages them. The book uses the concept of "soul".
    One more thing, it has used example of a child so often that, now I dearly wish to observe a child how he learns with time. What he does when he sees a new thing ...

Favourite board game: Ludo, Snakes and Ladders, Chess, Scrabble - The best part of dice games is to dearly wish a number and rumble the dice with all your inner might (ofcourse you don't need physical strength) and jump when you get it.

Favourite magazine: Nandan, Champak (from my childhood days, I still don't mind reading one), Readers digest

Favourite smells: Alcohol (Whisky) - a teetotaler now, Whiteboard marker, smell of dust when it rains after a long dry spell, 5-bhai sabun I use it with Ariel for washing clothes in machine - highly recommended formula for those who wear their jeans until it turns brownish

Favourite sound:

  1. Wind chimes - Imagine a lovely morning with cool breeze clear ambience after a rainy night and the silence is broken ocassionaly by chime music struck by the breeze. It gets better if you have your partner with you, :-)
  2. koo-koo: don't mix this with any birds chirping, just the sweet cuckoo singing on a tree lit by morning sun with little haze in ambience causing rays to disperse and fill up the space.
  3. sounds from happy babies .... :-), off-late watched Tarzan, Monsters Inc. Disney does an awesome job. Never heard such sounds in real life.

Worst feeling in the world: Loneliness, I fear imagining it. I can't think of my existence as a sole entity.

What is the first thing you think of when you wake up?: Mostly dreams I had, I always have dreams,

Favourite fast food place: Haldiram for chile, kulcha etc., MacD for McVeggie burger. I like matar-kulcha a lot esp on a nukkad. The taste to spicy lemon paste they use is awesome. My stomach no longer allows me to enjoy my favorite thing .... sigh :-(

Future child's name: I would leave it to her, first things first .. I still haven't found one

Finish this statement, “If I had a lot of money I’d…” be watching it thinking what to do with it. I am not kidding. I still need to learn how to spend money as I give up very soon.

Do you drive fast?: Rarely, sometimes on highways. I am a peaceful person you see

Do you sleep with a stuffed animal? sigh ;-)

Storms - Cool or Scary?: Awesome site to shoot, don't have a good camera though

Do you eat the stems on broccoli?: Don't mind it

If you could dye your hair any colour, what would be your choice?: Shades of brown as a gradient

Name all the different cities/towns you have lived in: Faridabad, Indore, Madras, Tirupathi, Rewari, Delhi, Mumbai, Noida, Banaras, Mugalsarai, Sakaldiha, Dhanapur, Sikandrabad ... does it look like a long list

One nice thing about the person who sent this to you: Good to be friends with, beauty with brains, She writes quite well. Especially few liners about any incident pointing the most peculiar thing you can imagine.

What’s under your bed?: Mat, some dirt which maid didn't clean up and I am too lazy to ask her to clean it up :-D.

Would you like to be born as yourself again?: I can't answer this question. I can't decide as I am yet to find myself.

Morning person or night owl?: Morning person, lately I have not done much to keep up with it. I need to do something tomorrow only :-D

Over easy or sunny side up?: buzy-bee, need help to understand this question

Favourite place to relax: Home

Favourite pie: Heard a lot about pies haven't had one. Not kidding its true.

Favourite ice cream flavour: Butterscotch with nuts. Not much into ice-creams though.

Ohh bouy never heard of these conventions before. Did a quick survey on wikipedia. Hmm ... in our desi bhasha we call

Sunny side up - Half fry
Over easy - full fry
Over medium, over hard - versions of full fry i suppose.

I used to prefer omlette.
