I thank Dr. Roshan
Radhakrishnan who has tagged me for the Liebster Award.
The Liebster Award is an award given by

The word ‘liebster’ has
German origins and has several definitions: dearest, sweetest, kindest, nicest,
beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, welcome, sweetheart.

11 Facts about myself:
- I hold a degree in Electronics Engineering, but haven’t done anything related to electronics for the past 17 years in my professional job.
- I can read books, articles, advertisements, literary, commercial, YA any genres but can’t read ‘horror’ and ‘erotic’ subjects or genres at all.

- I make friends very easily and am in touch with almost all of them.
- I don’t like it when people ask for my advice and don’t follow it, :) and I never give advice to those people again.
- I hate cooking, though I like what I cook.
- I love driving. By sixteen years of age, I had driven bicycle, scooty, scooter, motorcycle and car. (mobike, by far, is the best adrenaline pumper).
- While writing, I can’t move forward unless the formatting and punctuation of previous paragraph is absolutely correct and consistent. Same is the case with excel spread-sheet also.
- I am very uncomfortable in extreme weather conditions. (both summers and winters)
- Borrowing from Roshan, I can’t stand Godmen and can’t understand people who worship and touch their feet just based on faith.
- I love watching action films, more so if the female characters are also active in the actions.
Roshan’s 11 questions:

your life till date?
So many and difficult to
choose…, but I think when the first time I held my daughter, it was best and
awesome! (now the other one will fight with me)
2) If not 'your present job', what
would you see yourself doing in life?
I would have been in
‘Performing Arts’, maybe performing or teaching dance. I like all kinds of
dance forms, but lean more towards Indian Classical i.e Kathak and Bharatnatyam
3) Who was your first celebrity
crush?
Amitabh Bachchan (started with
‘Don’)
4) The best friend you have made
in the blogosphere?

dollars. How are you going to spend it?

one-bedroom in Goa, state of the art laptop, modem and write!
6) Your best feature?
My height.
7) Show us a photo you possess on

underrated and deserves more credit (and why)?
I will have to ‘pass’ this
question, can’t recall anyone.
11) Share some insightful advice
you have learned NOT FROM BOOKS but from the crazy journey of life?
Every human being has both

quality of a person and ignore the negative. Else it creates unnecessary
stress in life.
