Yes.
(I love vegetarian food as much as non-vegetarian!)
19. If you could dye your hair any color, what would be your choice?

While I am a sucker for historicals, and loved the elaborate costumes and sets, Jodha-Akbar disappointed me. The drama element and depth of characters was lacking...
ReplyDeleteShantaram's great! I am reading Holy Cow now, a bit of an extreme take on India.
San,
ReplyDeleteYou are loaded with adorable words, just as you are. Thank you for an endearing comment heaped with compliments. :)
Priyank,
ReplyDeleteThanks. I too wish to go to the Lost City of Incas. Wait for me. :P
Thank you for picking up the tag, and have a great trip. :)
Anirudh,
ReplyDeleteNo, thanks. The idea is not appealing to me.
Have you tried it together? I guess you are not incapable of anything..LOL
Sameera,
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot.
By the way, you aren't the first one to say I look(ed) like Ms. Aman, but then I won't be flattered really because I've been called Phoolan Devi too (yes Phoolan, and after seeing that same picture)..LOL
Cuckoo,
ReplyDeleteThanks. And did you find common ground when you compared? ;)
Welcome back, and I hope we get to hear lots of travel stories from you. :)
Aditi,
ReplyDeleteLOL..thanks. That picture isn't recent. ;)
Indrani,
ReplyDeleteNow, you make me smile with this comment. Thanks, and also for tagging me and it's been fun.:)
Valhi Rae,
ReplyDeleteThank you and I am glad that you accepted this tag. :)
Tiramisu is yummy especially when there is a dash of liqueur in it. Let me know if you liked it. ;)
chewy:
ReplyDeleteThanks Darlene. *blush*
It isn't a recent picture..*shhhh* ;)
Anonymous:
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thanks. :)
Secondly, identify yourself please!
Thirdly, would have been nice if you had accepted the tag and answered in your own blog please!!
Shantanu,
ReplyDeleteI like historicals too. The very reason I went to watch it on big screen was to enjoy those costumes and sets, and it did have the desired effect on me. I've learned over the years not to go to movies with high expectations, so I don't return disappointed. :)
I thought friendship day is in august..never mind..everyday is friendship day :) i like tiramisu too besides the travel bit
ReplyDeleteL
Lakshmi,
ReplyDeleteI don't really keep track of these days. I happened to get an sms just before I was to publish that post, so added it there. But yea, as you say, every day is friendship day when there are good friends around. :)
