My Accent - I believe its neutral but I think I have a little South-Indian tinge to it...but not the mallu version of it.
Booze - Was initially a hard-core drunkard. Restricted myself to beer in later college life. Took to Chabillis and Merlot first and then Scotch with a vengeance in the US. Nowadays its beer once a month. If I didnt keep running into old friends still, would have given it up for good.
Chore I Hate - Cooking! I'd rather be washing dishes or sweeping the floor than cooking. Was the source of several tiffs with my roomies and then my sis!
Dog or Cat - Neither. Infact I am scared of all animals!
Essential Electronics - Nothing these days. I am learning to keep life simple these days...wud have given up my fone if not for parents and friends.
Perfume - lol...not the rite question for me...caught in the sweat and toil of india...my natural body odour most of the time...but if ur already letting out a yuckkk...I take 3 baths a day to compensate!!
Gold or Silver - I hate both...my mom makes me wear a gold chain...i comfort myself that it'll be the first thing i pawn when i get into financial trouble!!! But speaking of others, gals certainly look good with a lil gold on them...thats the old-fashioned mallu in me talking!!!
Home - At Pattom in Trivandrum...the place has been my home forever. Its exactly 4 years and one day since i left the cool comforts of my home to make my life...these days i feel like a guest there if not for my ammachi...my sis has left and taken my mom along and dad is always travelling...my bedroom is twice as big as the rooms i have lived in over the last 4 years and i just cant get used to it!!!
Insomnia - I can stay up all night at will and go to sleep too with the same ease if i choose. But insomnia scares the shit out of me...it wud be really dreadful to be afflicted.
Job Title - IAS
Living Arrangements - Now...dont make me cry!
Most Admirable Traits - I love kids and am always a big hit with them...yeah I am really proud of that fact...nowadays i wonder if thats my only talent!!! And I make sincere efforts to keep my friends in touch with each other...wherever I am. This website and many of the posts in my blog are dedicated to the fond memories they have given me over the years.
Number of Sexual Partners - I am a "loser" in that department. Blame it on years of male bonding and lovable rogues who have orbitted my life thats ensured i never felt discontented and incomplete.
Number of Times in Hospital - Quite a few times. Once for a bike accident and the rest for fevers.
Phobias - Vertigo!!!

Siblings - One Sister...she is stupid but she's still the BEST!(u reading this jish?...hehe...cudnt resist choriyufying)
Time I Wake Up - 10:30am - 12:30 am now that i dont have to work.
Unusual Talent or Skill - Flatter to Decieve!
Vegetable I Love - Cabbage(Thorran)...Infact I am beginning to like all vegetables except pavakka...talk abt getting older!!!
Worst Habit - I am too restless...i think it reflects in everything i do.
X-Rays - Once!
Yummy Food I Make - Though I hate to cook, I make excellent Chicken Curry/Fry. And in university, I once made a sizzling Chilli Gobi by accident, this inspired my friends who joined in to cook their specialities and finally we all had a surprise feast, one night...good days come unplanned!

"Job Title - IAS "Aspirant"
Good for you Jiby!!!
Really good one, with your trademark earthiness :)
Well if you like washing up and sweeping then, you are excused from cooking :))
Sleeping at will and staying awake is something only sadhus can do I thought. Amazing!!!
I love cabbage thorran too!
Unusual Talent or Skill - Flatter to Decieve! ...okkk I am now going to disregard all your comments on my blog :p (lol kidding)
I love the rugrats too, in fact the greatest compliment I have received was when a bunch of 8 year old guys insisted that I play Cricket with them and not Chetan (my brother) :))
Thank you for the insights!! :)
sarah, my mom has tried and failed with initiating us to pavakka in so many forms - theeyal, thorran and fry...all that remains is the notorious pavakka juice!!!
silverine, i dont like washing/ sweeping either...i have found that to be the only acceptable compromise solution to the other party. UR real sharp, gal...by flattering to decieve i never thought it cud be interpreted that way too...i make big promises to make ppl happy and have a by-now fine-tuned way of not making them feel bad even if i dont do wht i promised!
I have accepted this tag, O evil one!
This one's pretty good.....
Loved your quote. Make or break, eh? More power to our tribe.....
BTW, you have vertigo? Cool! Thanx for that piece of information. Now I know what "surprise" to give you on yer next birthday.
"kittiyal ooty illengil chatti"...methinks is a very useful stand in life. hoping that the "aspirant" tag goes away very soon and the rest 3 letters stay. i will be the last person to be surprised by how much your friends mean to you! Loyola, after all...
What exactly is a eutal accent?
anon, i guess neutral accent means u cant place where exactly in india i am from. hope that answers ur question!!!
just happened to pass by ur blog and guess wat!! i too am a virgo/libra cusp...!!
and talking of "gals certainly look good with a lil gold on them...thats the old-fashioned mallu in me talking!!!"
