Hi N :)
Back to tags on blogspot too..
Nice list.. and apart from your specifics such as books read by you and your favorite songs, i knew almost all the other things about u :-)
ROFL on the Eight things you say often :D:D
And as Pras pointed out, u hv got most of the URLs wrong.. pro'ly in haste..
Howz u BTW? I hv been away from active blogging for ages now..
Take Care!
Pras
Sowwwiee... I can't imagine how I got it worng... as Kamesh says... maybe coz I was in a hurry :)
The F word is in almost everyone's vocab..
The veg part is... most of the world cusinies are non veg based and that leaves me with very little options...
Hey Kamesh
Long time, no see... kya haal chaal??? I am doing fine...
And you know tags are an intrinsic part of blogging :D lemme tag you as well...
You know me so well :)
The eight I say.. thats just another side of me :D :D
Hey. Thanks for tagging me. This is an interesting tag, and I've found that tags are a good way of forced introspection. It also makes me feel important and loved (oh my sad dreary life). And you got my URL right :)
I did basic French about 3 years ago. Now I'm doing basic Spanish. Spain and Latin America are top on my list of must-visit places.
Hey Rags
Welcome mate :)
Some tags make you think what you generally won't... which is sometimes good...
I had got ur URL wrong but corrected it soon :P
I am starting to forget my french coz i have no one speak with...
latin america is on my list too as is eastern europe...
And 'Hola! No hablo español' is the only spanish i know :D
Awesome list. And dont be pessimistic about the veggie food list.. u can do much more with combos of diff veggies than u can do with meat. For example, u can have a curry with two or more veggies.. a navratan curry.. try that with a chicken+fish curry.. u'd puke. So enjoy ur veggies!
And yeah.. almost all the tags I have seen have the F word! Arent we the most vulgar generation???
Hy Vrij,
Thanks :D
I am not pessimistic.. And I am not talking about Indian food only... Everyime I eat Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Italian, Lebanese food... My options are so limited and I just can't eat meat..
Meat gives me an icky feeling :|
I enjoy my veggies otherwise!
In fact, my list of expletives has now toned toned if i compare to 10 years ago :O :D
I agree... our generation uses more expletives than the previous one... u see we don't just use words in the mother tounge but english too.. bahut options hai hamare pass :D
Love tags - as I always have.. Will do it zephy!
"Continue learning French and then learn Spanish" - wow!
Hey Curious
I love tags too... Am such a sucker for them :D
I am really interested in languages and how, if you notice, they come from two base languages -sanskrit (in this part of the world) an latin in the west... I love to see and understand the subtle tranformations in languages...
e.g. the word 'exit' in spanish is written as 'salida', in french its written as 'sortie', but in catalonian - language of north spain, bordering france, it becomes 'sortida' (a mix of two!)... how interesting is that??
Hi Aart,
Welcome to my blog....
I didn't really like the book as such. That's coz there is a subtle undertone in the book bordering on being 'preachy' about how to live your life and to be free of constraint. And somehow I don't like that because the theme is very repetitive ... like 'The Alchemist' or his other books. The story is different, the message is quite similar....
Yo.. good that u enjoy ur veggies.. very soon, I'm coming up with some mouth watering stuff.. keep watching till then.. I bet u'd fall in love with that place..
Aur ye kya haal bana rakha hai apne blog ka??? Laal laal khooni tamatar?

Hello! I recently came across your blog by a Google blog search. I am a college student and in the process of writing a research paper about cultural and traditional sustainability in India, and how modern life for women changes this sustainability. I've really enjoyed reading your blog so far, and also, if there's anything you would care to share with me about being a modern women in India it would be greatly appreciated! Whew, that was long, sorry :)
