More than Four
This post has been inspired by an email tag thing from my sister. I responded by mail already, but in the process realised there was SOOOO much more I wanted to say! And instead of rambling on in an email to my near and dear - who might just be annoyed, I decided it was better I blog about it - that way I can ramble and rant and rave as much as I like, and you can stop reading round about now, if you like :-)
…OR NOT!
“Four Things about me you may not have known” is what the original tag is, but for some there’s a shitload more than 4 that I feel like writing about! So here goes!
A: JOBS I HAVE HAD IN MY LIFE:
Apart from the obvious - this would be anything I’ve been paid to do, correct?
1. Swimming assistant to a bunch of 3 – 8yr olds, the summer when I was 13.
2. Cataloguing the library of the sweetest old lady in Calcutta. Apart from being paid money, fancy lunch at her antique dining table with fancy silverware, and tea from Kookie Jar were the perks we enjoyed most!
3. Modeled for a “Wearhouse” print-ad that ran for 6 months – was sort of by default, I could hardly believe it myself!
B: MOVIES I WOULD WATCH OVER AND OVER:
1. Cocktail - thing is I’ve never watched from start to finish @ one go - except when we were kids & we had to close our eyes all the time! ...promise!!!
2. Dancer in the Dark
3. Love Actually
4. Life is Beautiful
5. Grease 1 & 2
6. Sound of Music
7. Dirty Dancing – apart from wishing I could dance like that, I always wanted to stay over at the staff quarters @ a holiday resort ;-)
C: PLACES I HAVE LIVED
1. Calcutta – LMC Boy’ school Campus, LMC Girls school dorm., New (12yrs. Old) House near the airport, Sha’s place, Sangho’s place, Fruitti’s place, Minti’s place
2. Bangalore – MCC hostel, Sena Vihar, Jal Vayu Vihar, Mrs. Pinto’s PG, EXIM House, Luke Peris, Golden Daffodils, LIC Colony, High Street
3. Hyderabad – Tote’s house
D: TV SHOWS I WATCH
1. Grey's Anatomy
2. Law & Order - Special Victims Unit
3. Coupling
4. Just For Laughs Gags
...ok also The OC and Life as we know it (he's sooo hot, and lovely!) *shameful*
E: PLACES I HAVE BEEN ON HOLIDAY
1. Tuticorin
2. Srikakulam – oh but you already new that!
3. Bhadravati
4. Dharmsala
G: MY FAVOURITE FOODS:
1. Seafood - any
2. Khau-suey
3. Pongal/ curd chillies/ rasam / buttermilk
4. ...torture to limit this to 4 - i'm hungry again!
I used to love bland food – pasta in white sauce, stroganoff, and I still do love em all – but post op. I’ve developed this huge Spice Tooth! And unbelievably – from being someone who couldn’t eat the spicey hostel food 10 yrs ago, I’m a born-again chilly addict!!! Tobassco, green chilli sauce, green chillies, curd chillies, fried red chillies – bring it on baybeeee!!!! My colleague suggested that may be if I received a blood transfusion (I don’t believe I did) it was from someone who loved spicey food!
H: PLACES I WOULD RATHER BE RIGHT NOW:
1. Home in Calcutta
2. Vietnam
3. Kudle Beach, Gokarna
4. Lunch @ Secret Garden, digging into their Thai green curry & rice!
So now true to tagging spirit you’re next… Spaceman Spiff!

What show is Life As We Know It?
I watched Grease 2 the other day and I was kinda shocked I loved it so much when I was younger... Grease is my all-time favourite but I've now let go of Grease 2... wasn't impressed!
Curd Chillies ???? :) and Dharmasala ? Interesting ??? :)
That Thapa cracks me up!
Babe ( one of the few people who actually read my blog). I've changed my blogger address.
