Some Random facts or confessions about myself

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.
