Question 1: How tall are you?
5’4″
Question 2: Do you have a hidden talent?
Dear hidden talent,
“I know you are in there somewhere. Do reveal yourself at the latest opportunity!”
Yours truly,
Your human host!
Today I discovered that there are so many pages that “claim” that they can help you discover your hidden talent. But since I obviously couldn’t come up with an answer to this question, you now know how very “effective” those pages are! 😂😂😂
Question 3: What’s your biggest blog-related pet peeve?
Spam! Sometimes certain posts manage to rake in so much spam comments. I am talking about the actual spam comments like “this article is so what I’ve been looking for.. blah blah blah” and most of these comments are full of hideous spelling and grammar mistakes. I also hate it when WordPress sends some of my favourite bloggers’ comments to the spam folder!
Question 4: What’s your biggest non-blog related pet peeve?
People who try to argue with me when I say that I turned vegetarian by choice because I was so sick of the fact that animals were being killed and turned into my food. I don’t try to lecture people into giving up meat and so naturally, I expect people to extend the same courtesy to me! It is my choice and I don’t owe anyone an explanation and/or justification!
Question 5: What’s your favourite song?
I’m a self-confessed musicaholic. I have written so many blog posts about my musicaholic tendencies in detail. If you are interested, please read my following blog posts: (each link will open up in a new tab! So don’t be afraid to click 🙂 )
- six word story #1
- To All the Voices I’ve Ever Loved! (Disclaimer: This is an old post. So many voices have been added to this list.)
- Stuck on Replay
Question 6: What is your favourite social media website?
Hmmm.. there’s a bit of a debate as to whether blogs can be considered as social media or not… So if it counts as a social media – WordPress because that’s where I spend most of my time.
Question 7: What is your favourite way to spend free time when you’re alone?
Reading and/or writing.
Question 8: What is your favourite junk food?
Pizza, Chips, Ice Cream, Candy… that’s going to be a huge list. So I’m going to stop right here. 😀
Question 9: Do you have a pet/pets? If so, what kind and what are their names?
Not since I lost Rocky. He was 9 (two months shy of his 10th birthday) when he crossed over the rainbow bridge.
Question 10: What is your number one favourite non-fiction and fiction book?
As much as I love reading, I tend to limit myself to fiction books. 😀
And my favorite fiction book is Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling (for purely sentimental reasons) If you are interested to know more about my attachment to this book series, do read my blog post – The Ultimate Book Tag. (I nearly turned that whole post into a Harry Post tribute!)
Question 11: What is your favourite beauty product/tool?
Lip balm! TBH, I’m a proud member of the “I don’t wear makeup because A) I’m too lazy to bother putting it on and B) I’m too lazy to bother taking it off” community!
Question 12: When were you last embarrassed? What happened?
Seriously I get embarrassed so often I can’t even remember anymore! (I’m with you on this, Pooja!) 😀 😂
Question 13: If you could only drink one beverage (besides water) for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Orange juice 😂 or maybe even cold coffee.
Question 14: What is your favourite movie?
One question, way too many answers. (Sidenote: Yet another technical exam is coming up and my brain must be sizzling from all the study sessions because somehow I compared this to an SIMD! Lol. 😂)
Question 15: What was your favourite lesson in school and why?
Maths because ever since Trigonometry and Algebra entered my life, I’ve been love in with this subject. Physics because it helps satisfy my curiosity and laid the foundation for my career as an engineer. English because I love reading and writing. And because… how can you not love this amazing language!
Question 16: If you could live anywhere in the world where would you live?
Hmm… Switzerland.
Question 17: PC or Mac?
PC (Because you can only talk about the things you’ve experienced!)
Question 18: Last romantic gesture from a crush, date, boy/girlfriend, spouse?
This answer doesn’t exist! Because I don’t have a crush who’s aware of my existence/date/boyfriend/spouse. 😀 😂😂😂
Question 19: Favourite celebrity?
So many. Same as the answer to Question 14! 😂
Question 20: What blogger do you secretly want to be friends with?
Hahaha any of the bloggers I follow! They all seem so awesome!
Question 21: Who is your biggest inspiration?
My friends and family.
Question 22: What is your favourite blogs to read?
2ndhalfoflife’s blog secondhalfwoman
Akhila’s blog Words and Notions
Ameena’s blog Randoms by a Random
Chandni’s blog The Twilight Firefly
Jeni’s blog crumpled piece of paper
Paru’s blog Trust Me, You’re Alive

Pranitha’s blog Imperfectly Perfect
Radhika’s blog radhikasreflection
R’s blog A lil bit of everything
Sandra’s blog purpleorangesite
Sue’s blog Space, Time and Raspberries
There are so many and it’s hard to make a list so I may have left out some by mistake. In that case, please forgive me! I really tried very hard to include most of them!
Question 23: What is your favourite high street shop?
Haha I’m not a high street shop kind of gal…
Question 24: Are you in education or do you work?
I’m still studying.
Question 25: What is one thing you are proud of?
“My Random Ramblings”. I now have over 600 subscribers on WordPress! Yay. 😀

I know right! This seemed like less work compared to the award posts that I’ve been procrastinating forever and so I went ahead and did it. But choosing the favourites was so hard. And now when I’m going through my feed, I see names that I’ve missed out. It’s hard to pick out favourites!!!!

Glad to know that you loved reading this. I love chocolates! Haha the reason why I didn’t include it was that according to my advisor (Google 😂) chocolate can’t exactly be considered as junk food because it provides some health benefits! I was conflicted. So eventually I ended up not adding it to the list. But I love chocolates. 😍

I loved the answer to question 11
Glad to know we both love Mathematics, but for me it’s chemistry after math and then physics!
I’m so glad to know you turned vegetarian by choice. Although I was always a vegetarian, again it’s more of a choice than a norm that I ought to follow.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Ohhh I’m not really that fond of chemistry. My engineering background has increased my love for maths and physics. 😁
Ohhh I gave up meat nearly three years ago. I just felt sick of the thought that some innocent creatures had to give up their life. So I swore to never eat meat. Ever again. And I’ve never regretted that decision. But at times, I receive scornful attitudes… Something along the lines of “You’re a vegetarian by choice! How can you even give up meat”. Some then proceed to tell me how my decision is pointless and won’t change a thing! It’s like they have absolution no regard to my opinions and decisions about my own life!
