20 and still not done..

So, this time I have been tagged by Vi to write 20 more things about me! OK, now for the real post.For those who did not know me earlier and who still don't know me, can read Me, Myself in my own words! post where I had some trivial details about myself. Of course, if you care to:) So, here I go, yet again the process of self-evaluation begins. 1.Like Mom like Daughter: 1. I never wanted to be like someone. I love being myself. But, there is one person, I find myself trying to match up with. My Mom -At a subconsious level, I always wanted to be like her and I am getting there. While growing up, I wanted to look beautiful like her, wanted to have long dark hair like her, wanted to be modest like her and now when I have grown up (I think), I want to be able to cook like her. 2.I love lively homes and peaceful lives: Home means a place full of love, plenty of pampering and hugging. A kitchen where food is cooking or the coffee is brewing. And there is music going on. I get queasy amidst arguments and quarrel. A little bit of healthy bantering is more than welcome, but I cannot stand to live amongst people who raise a fight for no apparent reason. 3. My inability to say NO: Often times, I find myself in a position wherein I cannot just say NO. Its not a very good quality and I realize that. If there is someone who asks me for a favor, I cannot refuse him/her. I quickly yield and sometimes go out of my way to fulfill that. 4. Ice-ice baby I prefer warm food over cold. I prefer hot beverages over cold soda. A warm shower is more relaxing than a cold bath. Warm hearts that can feel are more desirable than cold insensitive hearts. 5. A complete Water-Baby: Water is very soothing to me (typical cancerian trait). Go absolutely gaga over beaches and water fall but totally skeptical to go in the middle of sea or ocean. Deep waters threaten to swallow me. 6. Love designing homes: A domestic kind of person who loves decorating her house. Likes the idea of framing pictures, adorning homes with plants and wall-hangings. A house for me, is about free expressions and not about making impressions [Adapted from movie, Yours Mine &Ours]. 7.Oh those Chiffon sarees: Want to be able to carry off a chiffon saree one day. Remember the one where Madhuri Dixit is wearing a blue colored saree in freezing cold temperature (in Pukaar). Ah! Sarees are awesome and chiffon sarees give that thing to a woman's personality. 8.I love working behind the scenes: I can organize and event and love event managment, but I cannot be in limelight. I cannot be on the stage (except for recieving an award). Have a stage-fright. 9. Hates reptiles: I dislike crawling creatures. Sorry Nandu, I know you won't like it:p But, lizards and snakes are absolute No no. They give me the creeps. 10.Greeting cards: I think cards say it all. I love making my own greeting cards. Since, I do not get the time, I prefer buying one. But, I take my own time, to look for the card just so apt for a person whom I am intending to buy it for. 11. Art: I know to make artificial flowers, have learnt embossing and gravering. Have done fabric painting and embroidery. Sad part is, I haven't done any of these in more than 5 years and quite likely have forgotten it:( 12. Unlike my name: I cannot write poems. I just cannot. Thats why, I think my given name doesn't suit me. I am in absolute awe of people who express themselves poetically. Robert Frost, remains my favourite poet and amongst bloggers, I think Princesse and Phoenix can really write well. I am sure, they don't need my acknowledgment. 13. Travelling and reading: Love to be in midst of people who are well-read and well-travelled. People who are well read, always make interesting conversation & people who are well-travelled always have interesting experiences to share. 14. OCD I have obsessive-compulsive-disorder (OCD)!!!! for keeping my sink clean. I hate vessels being left in the sink overnight. They should either be washed and kept away or should be kept in the dish-washer. I keep cleaning the kitchen sink area everytime. I also have OCD for vaccuming my carpet. I cannot stand hair strands stuck into the carpet and make every attempt to remove it, the moment I realize it. I have a checking behavior also. I keep checking my car whether the headlights are off, whether my door is locked, whether my iron is plugged off, whether my stove top is switched off and whether my door is locked. Phew! I am highly disordered:)) 15. Creases: I never wear unironed clothes. For some wierd reason, I always iron my jeans as well. 16. Modesty is a rare virtue: These days, where the world is fiercely competetitive, I think modesty is long disappeared from our lives. I personally think, and have experienced that even though people might not have anything to brag about, they do. I have met very few succesful people who are humble and modest. 17. Intuition: I consider myself to be very intuitive. Maybe all girls are. But, I have a very strong intuitive power. I can judge a persons mood and his state of mind with his/ her voice and the way he writes. 18. Hospitals make me sick There is something about hospitals. I do not like the feeling of being there. Would not want to elaborate further on this. 19. Fault finders: I abhor people who find fault with everything you do. If it not your clothes, its the way you look. If its not your look, its the way you cook. In short, fault finders find fault even where non exist. The revel in the ego boost they get out of ridiculing people. Of all the people, I can't stand people, who find fault with the food that someone cooks. Considering the fact that, you take so much pains in making the dish and it might happen that something might be amiss. If you can't appreciate the efforts, you don't have any right to condemn, unless you are the one who made it. 20. Expressions: Last but not the least, love people who are expressive. People who can express themselves in a way or the other. Art, music, drama or mere gestures. I am not comfortable in midst of people who are sly and who have flat facial expressions. Wow, am done. Can't believe, I am made of so much that I have so far written 70 things about myself.Hahahahha. Must say, enjoyed writing this.Thank you, Vi. Now, to pass on the honors: I think, I more or less "know" my blog friends here, through their blogs. So would like to tag people who have recently become my friends. Would love it, if they oblige:) They are: Princesse & Gangadhar
