The 7 things tag

Runa tagged me sometime earlier this month with the 7 things tag. The rules are:

  1. Link to your original tagger(s) and list these rules in your post.
  2. Share seven facts about yourself in the post.
  3. Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
  4. Let them know they’ve been tagged.

The 7 facts are:

  1. I have eaten Pani Puri for breakfast, lunch and dinner, two days in a row.
  2. I was once addicted to Internet chat.
  3. I am petrified of ghost stories.
  4. As a kid, I used to cry so much so that my teachers used to complain to my mother “iske aankhon me nal lage hue hai. Hamesha roti rehti hai.”
  5. I like reading children’s story books - Nancy Drew, Famous Five and The Secret Garden have been among my favorites since school.
  6. I have never been hospitalized.
  7. Most of the songs that I love are from the black and white era of Bollywood.

And now, I tag fellow bloggers *drumroll* Ruchna, Kapil, Sharan, Anuja, Ankur, Prakash, Tejas. Feel free to go / not go ahead with the tag.

जाने काहां मेरा जिगर गया जी
अभि अभि यही था किधर गया जी
किसी की अदाओं पे मर गया जी
बडी बडी अखीयो से डर गया जी |

To do items

Another to do item ticked off. Another one in the process. Now, I can run for about 2.4 kms without stopping. Need to build speed and stamina.

Looks like this year is going to be fun.

Vacations

Ah, the post comes rather late. But, I’d rather pen this one down.

Andorra was the vacation that happened - even before college officially closed. On Thursday, the 18th, I was off to Andorra. Because of the famous strikes, I missed my connecting train at Marseilles and then the connecting bus from Toulouse - by a mere 6 mins. Stayed on at Toulouse for the evening, and took the bus next day to Andorra. I had an awesome time with my cousins. We even went to Spain’s Seu D’urgell for a lunch one day. ;) My Aunt made sure I got to have all the little things that I miss - from back home. Even the same Sindhi recipes for some particular bhaajis. *drools* Andorra photos are up on my flickr set. Some more will be added later.

Paris was the vacation that did not happen. But I’m glad I stayed on. Had an awesome new year’s eve dinner, among other things, that would probably not be possible ogling at Eiffel tower fireworks at night.

Since I did not take my camera along to the last trip at Les Deux Alpes, some of Haiyong’s and Chang’s pictures have been uploaded here, with their permission. Thanks guys! Ruchna has a hilarious account of what happened at the Ski trip.

Now, less than a month before the exams start. And then, the next vacations! :D
