Coffee / Rendezvous with NP!!

Ever wondered why people like the questionnaire kinda tags?

Guess we all secretly wish we were as rich and famous as the Shahrukh Khans of the world and sat in front of Karan Johar/Simi Garewal/Oprah Winfrey and gave an interview! If you say you've never stood in front of the mirror and interviewed yourself, I'd say you're lying.

No matter how many secrets I reveal here, I will never tell you what all have I thought of myself to be while in that 'hot seat'.And no, I won't tell you who i gave credit to my unfathomable success as a ... nah, I can't tell you this either!

So there you go, that's why we love to take tags. Why do people read it if we are not famous? I mean, who would like to read/watch/hear, lets say, a Preeti Jhangiani being interviewed (just randomly!)

I think we are all a fan of each other here and that's what matters. As lessor mortals (!!!) we make ourselves happy and get to know a little more about ourselves or each other. Ah, never mind the logical interpretation, here's a tag I picked from D / CM-Chap's Blog and thought I could use it for a rendezvous with myself. Will anyone give me the famous Coffee Hamper? :)

1) Last movie you saw in a theatre?
Tashan. Let that be it!

2) What book are you reading?
Does Archies qualify?

3) Favorite board game?
As a kid, I always got beaten at Ludo by my cheeky(read: cheater) cousins. Scrabble is good if I'm winning. Monopoly is a good tp.

4) Favorite magazine?
Right now, Bridal Asia :)
Like Marie Claire too.

5) Favorite smells?
I love sporty deo's (men's ofcourse ;))
The smell of wet sand
The way a baby smells after that Johnson n Johnson shower

6) Favorite thing to do in weekend?
Sleeping/Shopping/Chatting on phone/Movies/etc etc etc

7) Worst feeling in the world?
The feeling of helplessness. When you want to do so much, but you cant. And you just cant help it.

8)What is the first thing you think of when u wakeup?
When will I get to sleep again!

9) Favorite fast food place?
There's one in Lucknow - Aryans. I've fond memories. Pizza Hut too.

10) Future child’s name?
Since I might not be able to use it, I'll reveal it here. It's Ishan. If you repeat it, it sounds like Nisha :)

11) Finish this statement --- 'If I had a lot of money'
i'd use half of it to travel and the other half I'd donate. (Now I sound like I'm on Oprah!!)

12) Do you drive fast?
Only when I think the driver behind me is getting irritated!

13) Do you sleep with a stuffed animal?
In a few months, I will! (shit!!!!)

14) Storms -- Cool or Scary?
Cool. What's there to get scared of?

15) What was your first car?
My red Zen. Oh, I love it.

16) Favorite drink?
Vodka with sprite. Do tequila shots count?

17) Finish this statement --- If i had the time i would...
I'm already doing all I want to do. So, I don't know what to say. (Man, I'm freakishly free and I so don't sound like a celebrity here!)

18) Do you eat the stems on broccoli?
I'm not a very 'stemy' person!

19) If you could dye your hair any other color, what would be your choice?
If it goes in a day, I would love to color it white. Just to see if I'll still look as cute when I'm 80!

20) Name all the different cities/towns you have lived in?
Lucknow. And if it were to me, I would love to live here forever.

21) Favorite sports to watch?
Cricket.

22) One information about the person who sent this to you?
Though she didnt 'send' this to me really, Devanshi, I think, is a mysterious and extremely talented person.

23) What’s under your bed?
Treasure. Thats what my friend said a few days back when I opened it up and showed her my personal diaries and folders with umpteen secrets!!

24) Would you like to be born as yourself again?
I'm happy being what I am. But I guess we should all try to live in others shoes as well! So, I wouldnt mind being someone else.

25) Morning person or night owl?
Neither!!!!!

26) Over easy or sunny side up?
Easy...or so I think!!

27) Favorite place to relax?
Sea shore

28) Favorite pie?
Ummm...next question, please.

29) Favorite ice cream flavor?
Im the orange bar types.

30) Of all the people you have tagged, who is the most likely to respond first?

I'd be happy if just about anyone responds to this! At least I'll know if I'm on TV someday, these many people will definitely watch :P !!


Take this tag if you want to. But before you do that, do share your views on why people like tags and why people read them.

  2. Interesting read!

    As for tags, well, I admit I like these interview types because I've always, ALWAYS imagined myself on TV, giving an interview for being rich and famous (or maybe a blogger, now that blogging is so much in news) and this is as close as I am to giving an interview.

    Why I read them? Honestly, I do not read tags on all the blogs on my blogroll. I have to be interested in knowing a little more about the person before I read the tag.

  10. Hi Nisha, I am going to be a fan of your blog/YOU!

    I went 'into' favourite movie 'Sound of music' and it took me to 'my space' and from there to you!

    I am new to blogging. Yours is inspiring. Even I feel that my children (who are working men now!) enjoyed 50% of our fun, when we were kids and my niece and nephews seem to be going to school, coming back, studying, extra classes again...TV...their days are over. No fun at all.

    Your questionnaire is fun. I'll ask myself these questions and see what type of reply I get! Thank you! You are going to be in my blog!
