25!

1. I love the way some words sound. ‘Crush’ or ‘Delicious’ or ‘Chomp’ or ‘Pyaaz’. Somehow ‘onion’ doesn’t do justice, does it?
2. I stop and talk to dogs, even those on the street.
3. I like the way a person’s mouth moves when speaking.
4. I can speak with my mouth shut. Hell, I can even sing like that.
5. I don’t enjoy drinking water.
6. I learnt how to whistle and blow gum before my brother did. He still can’t compete with me.
7. I love writing my name over and over and over and over again. I love the way the letters flow one after the other.
8. I like keeping blank notepads blank.
9. I like to keep pencils long and sharpened. Just hate writing with them. No, I love writing with them, but hate it when they get blunt and shorter.
10. I love the smell of crayons. And poster colour. And wet soil. And baby powder.
11. I want to adopt a child, a girl child, rather than have one of my own.
12. I thought I wasn’t crazy about shoes, but I have been proven wrong. Thank god… :)
13. I reuse paper. Envelopes, printouts, wrapping paper, paper bags, everything that I can.
14. I steal tissue paper from restaurants. And carry them around for emergencies.
15. I hate writing for pleasure. I do it as a job, and I do it well. But when I’m out of office, I hate to write.
16. I’m scared of change.
17. I enjoy the company of younger people more than that of people my age or older.
18. I like readymade meals.
19. I’m basically lazy. Don’t like to work hard at anything. Do it out of compulsion or because somebody is depending on me.
20. I can’t tell people who are bothering me to stop bothering me. I’m scared of hurting their feelings. And I end up getting hurt or taken for granted in the bargain.
21. I love my independence and believe in ‘Live and let live’. Anybody who breaks that code of conduct is out of my life.
22. I lose interest very fast. And that includes things, activities, people, places… There has to be novelty. Status quo bothers me.
23. I love rock, little bit of pop, loads of old hindi music, ghazals. I can’t stand hiphop or trance.
24. I love riding bikes.
25. I don’t like air-conditioning.
