40 nosey questions answered. (a tag)

Shimmer tagged me. Earlier Jyotiajay had tagged me with the same tag. One tag and I feel uneasy. Two tags and it becomes difficult to breathe till I get it off my chest :-) 

So here goes (you asked for it, you got it!) :-)





1.What is your current Obsession?

Human Portraiture--and I must add I am getting very good at it. (yeah humble me :-) ) You can view my portaits here.

In what department? ;-)

6. What do you think about the person who tagged you?

7. If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you like it to be? 

It would ideally be portable with wings, large enough to hold my books and my art stuff and small enough to hold my dreams,  so I could fly to wherever I wanted :-)
 

8. What are your must-have pieces for summer?

A great pedicure, nice perfume and perfect arms and legs :-) Oh yes--and a scrunchy too to tie up my hair in a pony tail and my sun glasses.


9. If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?
  
Into that place between black and white, into that unexplored area inside my head,  into that space where souls dwell. But since I can't, I think I will go into my children's room and watch them sleeping-- The feeling redefines the word contentment!



10. Which language do you want to learn?
 
Unspoken language of two minds in perfect sync and the sparkle in the eyes when you see true love.

    Wow! Catching up after a long time with blogs only to find that you have tagged all your readers. At least it gives me something to blog about :)

    ReplyDelete
  13. You're THE mistress of tags! Honestly!
    There is always s'thing new to read in every tag of yours :)
    I can't stop laughing reading the fashion faux pas...lol! But bangles as an accessory on jeans is back big time! Especially when you ethnicise your whole outfit. I wear them and it really looks cool :)
    (please don't ostracize me from your blog :p)

    'Where souls dwell'? Really? - You sure have a strong heart.

    P.S: Pourquoi??? Pourquoi??? But I shall try to do it, I bet it won't come out so good :(

    I always love tags that are so full of life, and I loved yours :)

    "Unspoken language of two minds in perfect sync" -> Touché! The ONLY language that matters in fact. *Sigh*.

    "All those crazy hags..." -> Absolutely. I think the "what's in vogue" and the "Green is the new black" guys should be asked to shut up for a change.

    "Lovely hot dosas" -> I can almost hear that delicious sizzle of batter on the pan. Yum.

    "I always think I look haunted" -> Nope, absolutely not. You always look like those naughty little sprites that you get to read about. (Enid Blyton I guess?)

  15. Wow! lovely and the best tag I ever read, Preeti! Enjoyed reading every question. The fashion faux pas answer was hilarious! I love South Indian Filter coffee too..I have it here every morning...it starts my day!

  26. ha ha..interesting... loved your fashion faux pas..No offense intended, but being with mallu friends, its highly unavoidable to see oily hairs.. i would hugely disagree that $100 or 4000 bucks is a small amount... thats almost half my salary :) ;)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Shantharam: :-)It's 62 pounds! It really is not enough to even buy a coat here which is essential because of harsh extreme climate.

    Farheen: I too want it out now! :)It's 80% done :)
