Just thought that I would take up a tag, by myself 😉
The Rules of this tag:
Link to your tagger and post these rules.
List eight (8) random facts about yourself.
Tag eight people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).
Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving them a comment on their blogs.
Inspired from both BVN and Neihal
I have enjoyed reading this and think i will enjoy writing it too.. .lets see..
1.I am so comfortable with myself, that a laptop, books and tv is all that i need on most evenings. I personally think that the internet is one of the most beautiful inventions ever 🙂
2.I have friends who claim that they know me more than I know myself. And i hate that claim.They irritate me by interpreting what is going on in my mind!
For future references, let me call them my freudian friends.
3. I am not passionate about food, cars, cricket,phones or ipods. But indian handicrafts,jaipur furniture, mirror work, long & elegant indian skirts, antiques, radha – krishna statues made in wood, ethnic indian kurtas, historical architecture,bamboo based handwork, ravi varma paintings especially those depicting women,in fact most paintings with a lone women always grabs my attention, mud based jewellery or pottery, wooden bangles- all this can get me excited.
time spent with a friend along side a lake – thats what i call, being happy.
4. I dont get hurt that fast. I am still not sure, if its because my friends are just too nice or because my expectations from people are pretty less. Well, those “freudian friends” of mine say that I am too afraid of getting hurt that I keep saying these artificial defenses to safeguard myself. Of course, I disagree.
5. I have been quite a lucky person in life. I know that there are several people in this world, who genuinely want to see me happy and who genuinely love me! I really dont know why!
I am sure I dont give as much as I get! I have promised a friend that I shall return to an Indianised version in five years time… hopefully, things should be better then. I might learn to give by then…
6. I dont know whether I am a feminist. I seldom like being a part of any “ism”. But I know that its the gender perspective that gets my attention in any issue. I hate men vs women arguments.And please.. feminism is not about that.
But, when i see some LSR T shirts that say,
” Women who strive to equal men………… lack ambition”
” When God made man……………… she was kidding”
I laugh, laugh and laugh. I do get my cheap thrills 😉
7. I have also come to like my job & function a lot. Quite lucky that way. I also face a lot of criticism about HR from across and I have learnt to deal with that. If you really have doubts about how much value HR adds, I am ready to talk about it. If you are right, I will accept it with full sincerity. But if it is just fun that you want to have in the name of HR, i will let you have it. I will not give you the satisfaction of winning or losing an argument.
8. I am a set of conflicts.I dont know whether my life can be termed a success or a mess, I can no longer go to a temple with that unquestioning faith, I am forever vaccillating between my roles of a guilty daughter and a fierce individualist, I am thinking about my wonderful job and the many more wonderful things that I could do, I often think of starting all over again and yet am unable to forget and scared to try… hahaha the funniest part is, i give a lot of airtime to these thoughts… its tiring and i often wish for a more relaxed mind but then, as one of my friend tells me, there is no point in that… i am this.. i better accept it.
But i am proud that inspite of such an unrestful mind, i have been able to do things that i am proud of.
You have no clue how many times i edited this post 🙂
Not tagging anyone…
Best Best!…but so sad…no haat stuff! I am disappointed….no I’m not freudian…these eight i can kinda guess :))) this is a nice tag…good you did it 🙂

@bvn: see..thats what.. some freudians think they know me too much.. hmmm ..got to do something 😉
@jay: oh no, not aimed at you. in fact you are one person, i think who debates with the purpose of idea generation and not for having fun at the expense… so no! but i do get the casual remarks here and there.. in fact it was not aimed at anyone in particular, just the attitude
@ tinkerbells: oh yes, i did change my look again… and i think i will keep doing it hehehe.. surprises???

BD,
Being in a state of unrest and questions is far better than not questioning.
Conflict, according to me leads to understanding.
