my 7 things tag!

what a life this is…
am back on my blog after around 2 weeks,
in between work and more work, i cud just glimpse at what others were posting and thinking of the time when i’ll be able to finally post something…
lots of things happenned in between, i don’t even remember most of them, what the heck!
some of that will be reflected on this blog in days to come…
if i get time

meanwhile, i got tagged this ‘7-things thing’ by a friend in the uk.
he basically is a traveller. he likes to click photographs and likes to talk about them.
u’ll see lot of nice shots there.

Seven Things To Do Before I die

• dance
  (in the rain, with a white sneaker in one foot and the one bare)
• drive
  (down the yellow brick road in a dark blue convertible with my sweetheart and the four children following in the attached caravan- but that’s the second trip)
• backpacker’s trip
  (around the world won’t be bad!)
• write
  (and prefarably get published)
• live
  (in a street overlooking the liveliest street in the world on one side and the deepest woods on the other)
• love
  (completely and without expecting anything in return)
• i think these six are more than enough.

Seven Things I can’t Do

• dance
  (have two left feet and a sub conscious that won’t let that happen till judgement day)
• drive
  (am absent minded enough to completely forget what braking is)
• concentrate
  (on one thing for a long time. say 33 seconds.)
• eat
  (without reading or watching tv or talking to someone)
• follow my to-do list
  (this is pretty self-explanatory)
• move-on
  (i can’t change my past, when will i learn this…if my zipper remained open at that party, it is okay, i was a 9 year old then)
• stop dreaming
  (i’ll die that day)

Seven Things That Attract Me To My Mate

• emotionally practical
  (because i am not worldly wise)
• expressive eyes
  (because eyes should speak more than the mouth)
• intelligence
  (should love books and a thousand other things to talk about)
• super rich
  (my poor writer existence would be a nice contrast)
• loves travelling
  (prefarably adventure travel, although i haven’t been on one single adventure trip yet)
• is a pretty good dancer
  (atleast that way i’ll learn dancing)
• if nothing else, atleast both of us shud love each other
  (love to nag, love to strike, to to … u got the brief, right?)

Seven Books I Loved

• We the Living
  by Ayn Rand
  (freedom, individual and the state. one book that has moved me most. till now.)
• Chandrakanta & Chandrakanta Santati
  by babu Devakinandan Khatri
  (a tale of adventure, tilism, mystery, love, warriors, faith, life and so much more… sort of a fable, a mixture of lord of the rings with arabian nights)
• Sherlock Holmes
  by Arthur Conan Doyle
  (anything, a short story or a longer one, i’ve read them all. the logic of simplicity, if you delete the impossible, whatever that remains however improbable is the truth.)
• Robinson Crusoe
  by Daniel Defoe
  (i always longed to be alone and lost on an island, this book gave me all)
• Mritunjay
  by Shivaji Savant
  (never before a character came out so well in a book. it seemed ‘Karna’ descended to tell his story himself.)
• The Time Machine
  by H. G. Wells
  (my favourite fantasy, traveling and traveling through time)
• The Alchemist
  by Paulo Cohello
  (so much to learn from a simple little story)
