Some Random facts or confessions about myself........(the updated 2019 version)
I wrote this in 2013 and now that I have managed
to recover my blog, I am updating it today with an added experience of five
years in this big bad world and a head full of grey hair.
1. I am an Aries Taurus cusp. I
always wanted to be a true Taurean just because it said ‘this zodiac is ruled
by the planet of Venus, beauty’. Off late I’ve finally realized that the Aries
characteristics in me are much more than the traits of a Taurean.
2019
version: This doesn’t matter to
me anymore. I’ve not read any horoscopes or the silly articles about sun sign
which keeps popping up in Facebook.
2. I generally like talking
with people and enjoy making friends but I easily get annoyed by people also,
particularly their behaviour. By behaviour I mean everything , it could be
their continuous use of English language(We are Indians, remember), their
eating and purposefully escaping the bill on a regular basis, gossiping about
someone for a particular thing which even you are guilty of( I hate them),
always bragging about themselves ( hello , who are u? ….Mukesh Ambani), false
compliments ‘u looking so good, hawwwt’ to a 85 kg woman(they can look good but
definitely not hot) ‘my God are u dieting, uve gone down so much’ (I’ve haven’t
budged 100 gms).
2019
version: I still love talking to
people but yes I’ve become lot less judgemental.
3. I am shit scared of butterflies or to be more
precise any insects which flies. To be all the more precise anything which
flies, like birds?
2019
version: OMG...I still am.
4. I am a beauty and makeup fanatic. I can read the
“uses of gram flour in beauty” 10 times in 10 different websites everyday
without getting bored. I love to watch the YouTube videos of makeup.
2019 version: I seriously don’t believe that I am writing
this. I rarely go to any beauty section now days. I am so away from all of this
that I had to write in my New year resolution that I will be punctual in
putting a night cream.
5. I am totally a fan of pink lipsticks. It is never
enough for me to get a new shade of pink.
2019
version: Nope...I like more of
brownish peach these days.
6. I also read a lot about health and fitness and
diet. I feel I can easily become a diet instructor (they will see me and go
running away ….that’s another part of the story)
2019
version: I still do read about
diets and about my weight fluctuations..That will be a separate post altogether.
7. I am also into a lot of stuffs like home décor.
Though I feel I don’t do it so well but yes if I will be given a free hand I
can make homes look better.
2019
version: Now this is something I
am totally into these days. Yes, I will put a separate post of all the works
which I have done. I love DIYs.
8. I love baking cakes and biscuits...no I haven’t
baked anything more than a simple plum cake or simple butter biscuits.
2019
version: I do bake now but a lot
less. Fiza and Faris are more into baking these days.
9. I love to teach especially crafts and DIYs and
stuffs like that.
2019
version: OMG. I don’t believe I
wrote this. I’ve started a Storytelling class and I teach the tiny little
darlings little crafts, of course stories and everything too. I love teaching
crafts.
10. I love experimenting new hairstyles on Fiza
2019
version: A big No. I sometimes
do a French braid or a fishtail on her just because she pesters me to do
otherwise I hate even making my hair.
11. I like to read and write (this blog…….)
2019
version: Yes I do.
12. I hate selling products….i was doing this
for eight years .I don’t know but I simply hate selling now ( never liked it
then too) , giving wrong reassurances about the products, disgusting.
2019
version: same
13. I hate eating bhindi (ladies finger) . I
have specified this coz I enjoy eating every other edible thing on earth but I
hate this thing.
2019
version: I hate it even more
now. I’ve made a new recipe of bhindi. I call it cream bhindi. Its loved by my
kids and Mr husband too.
14. I can have dosas and omelette three times a
day, 30 days a month…..yummmm
2019
version: same...yummy
15. I hate anything complicated…theorems,
functions of electronic gadgets. Yup I am very clumsy in handling any
electronic items. I think I have a E.M.F around me which causes all the
electronic gadgets to malfunction and finally breakdown as soon as they come
into contact with me.
2019 version: True but I think the queen of disruption goes
to Fiza these days.
16. We have a Digital camera, video
camera, an SLR, a home theatre….I don’t know even 50% of the operations of any
of this.
2019 version: Digital and video camera are laid to Rest in
Peace. Yes , I know a bit about SLR .
17. I cannot play video games especially the car
racing ones and hero fighters in which u have to fight against all different
evils and shoot them. I can only play puzzle games (like Sudoku, Solitaire) and
Mario Luigi (in which I know what is coming next). I have come to a conclusion
that I cannot coordinate speed, direction, time at one instant so according to
Amir Khan in
“Taare Zamin per” makes me 30% dyslexic. Yes to support this theory I cannot
even catch objects thrown at me.
2019 version: Even a lifetime cannot make a difference to
this one. I am still dyslexic.
18. I tend to develop a favourite boy and girl
(among subordinates) wherever I work and I am quite vocal about it so it makes
me a partial boss because I support them always and the degree of scolding also
lessens tremendously if they have done a mistake.
2019 version: I don’t work period.
19. I have a stupid face which cannot hide emotions
and feelings. So if I am pissed off my face is also pissed off irrespective of
the situation I am in. I am also quite vocal about everything.
2019 version: This trait of mine has landed me into troubles
many times.
20. I get angry if I don’t eat when I am
hungry, I cannot control my hunger. I get hungry every two hours. That is a
very good sign according to Rujuta Diwekar’s book “Don’t lose your mind, lose
your weight” if I have little food every time but I tend to gobble huge
portions every 2-3 hours.
2019 version: True. By the way, I am reading a new book by
Rujuta Diwekar, “Notes for Healthy Kids”
21. I have a bad and gross habit of scratching
the skin of the nail bed (I don’t know what to call that area, it is the place
where your nail begins, I mean the area above the cuticles) which has
eventually made by hand and fingers look ugly. I need a lot of concentration to
stop it, the moment I feel stress or anger or fear, I start it.
2019 version: I still have it but these days I shape my
nails and put a nice nail paint on my left hand, so they are saved. The right
one goes for a toss.
22. I was a dark girl when I was young and I
don’t understand how the transformation happened for me into a wheatish
one.
2019 version: I know now....The skin stretched manifold.
23. I don’t like my routine to be disturbed, I
get irritated.
2019 version: same
24. I have the shortest of the shortest
possible temper. I get angry at the drop of a hat and also forget things in the
same way but then it always becomes too late.
2019 version: Why am I so short tempered.
25. I like
Shahrukh Khan…hell….(This is a major confession, hope Tanki never reads it)
yeah but I like him .
2019
version: After Zero I want to
kill him.
26. I love Salman and Akshay . They are the two most
handsome heroes of Bollywood.
2019
version: They still are with
lots of botox and implants.
27. I love M.A.C Cosmetics, how I wish I could
purchase their entire store.
2019 version: I’ve gone down to Lakme. I don’t have money
guys.
28. I don’t know to walk in heels, even a mere
one and a half inch freaks me out.
2019 version: Yesssss. I can walk in a three inch like a
BOSS.
29. When I
was young I used to read a lot about IVF simply out of interest. It used to
intrigue me; I never had the faintest idea I will have to undergo this
treatment in future. I am a proud mother of IVF twins. Yes, I ve stopped
reading anything in medicine nowadays especially if it is a disease.
2019 version: This seriously is true. Yes I don’t read .
30. I always wished my husband to be tall fair
and very articulate from College days. Allah has taken care of this wish 100%
and also many more. I find myself very lucky. Alhamdulillah.
2019 version: Ladies, first don’t expect a husband. Expect a
high class education for yourself with a great job. Then choose whoever you
like.
31. I find striking similarities between Fiza
and Tanki. I love both of them. Ya ..i can do a separate post on this.
2019
version: They look similar but
now Fiza resembles a lot with Ayaan in her behaviour. Infact she is a photocopy
of Ayaan in her actions.
32. I find
my mother very broad minded and intelligent and understanding irrespective of
the fact that she has done only Senior Secondary. And my father the most
patient.
2019 version: My mother is very intelligent and always ready
for ideas and thoughts. She listens patiently and thinks logically. My father
loses his temper these days.
33. I am
allergic to cigarettes and ashes of it. I will be unable to eat if I sight cigarette
buds anywhere.
2019 version: Ugghhh.
34. I am 100 % sea sick person. Any sort of
long movement in the flight or ship or car nauseate me severely.
2019 version: And
thats the reason I cannot go to Havelock. Thats so sad.
35. I had been through a very
bad depression phase in my life and believe me its terrible. I try to support
people who are going through a rough patch but I’ve met some who never want to
see a light. I feel sad for them.
36. Never tell your plans and
ideas to anybody. You will be kicked in your ass. Love your friends but don’t trust
them with everything about yourself.
37. Take risks. It is worth
it.
38. I want to do so many
things in life and I will be forty this April.
39. I’ve undergone a terrible
amount of body shaming by educated people. It hurts.
40. Parents are the most
precious things in life. My parents and my sister gave me full support to start
a class. They are my biggest moral strengths.
