When Devil Tags

So first Vibhashu and then Monsieur Humbl Devil tagged me, and being averse to tags, I have taken so many days to attempt it. But being a sachcha Hindustaani, who believes in praan jaaye par shaan na jaaye, here I am.

Rules are:
1. each blogger starts with eight - ten random facts/habits about themselves...
2. people who are tagged need to write posts in their own blog about the tag and post these rules...
3. at the end of your post, you need to choose people to get tagged and list their names...(Anki didnt do it and neither am I doing this)

ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT???
Stitches from surgery long back.

WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW???
A break from this now.

WHAT DO YOU MISS???
Days spent in college, and the bike rides in Goa

My family

Freshly brewed coffee, closely competing with the smell of rain on earth, and those from wet shampooed long hair.

Nope, i speak the same language as others. But metaphorically, yes.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TELL SOMEONE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU???
Actions speak louder than words.

SAY A NUMBER FROM ONE TO A HUNDRED:
77

BLONDES OR BRUNETTES???
Depends on what lies beneath, but brunettes generally.

Nice tag!!! :) once a while its nice doing these tags to take a break from creativity or when you are in that most feared writer's block ..I loved reading through it .. at least here was something from the personal space of yours ..
PS - You post very rarely (they are worth the wait!) probably that's why people take time in visiting you.. and thanks again for checking on me during my prolonged hiatus. :)

Hehe! Actually there is hardly any tag which I haven't done. I think I've done this long back. I was supposed to write 20 random things about me. I called it Pandora's box! If you are interested you can find it in my rustic-rhapsody blog! :D I even did a tag on 6 weird things about me.. 7 favorite things which had too many infos like books music blah blah.. one more with few questions (I called this one, placid reflections!) .. 8 things I want in my perfect lover .. 6 people I would like to invite for dinner .. sigh .. there should be more :( Do you still want me to do it ?

@Aria: After having heard you soulful travesty, dukh-bhari daastaan, i think you can be pardoned. Yes Pandoras Box i remember. :-)

You have a way for naming things.

impressions:
1. doesnt eat
2. is an exercise freak
3. Lively
4. Speaks her mind
5. hates to smile
6. Rocks!
7. and yes, doesnt eat
