tunneling thru' 
Nice to know more about you.
“1. Fresh Bread”
Me too :) That’s one of the reasons we bake our own bread.
“1. Optometrist
2. Dance teacher/choreographer “
That’s an interesting combination :)
It’s nice to know that you are a dancer. Bharatanatyam or Kuchipudi?
dance? dance?? :P u taught? oh and me too detest the smell of seafood… and hence i cant eat it as well. yuck.
dna – baking bread was a lofty ideal for me, gave up soon with all that washing etc.
ahem, so u assume it’s either this or that eh? what if I said “salsa” ;-p
it’s kuchipudi :)
archana – yea girl, I dance, and I’ve taught and still do on occasions.
seaweed is really an acquired taste/smell.
Interesting!
diagnostician??
NOW…what is that..:-)
u mean as a Medical Technologist ;-)
oh so u dance?wow
guthivankaaya koora…mmm. thats a good favorite of mine too. brought back some interesting memories from my childhood.
Same pinch! Bhel & black forest ar my favourites too!
Loved the answers to the “places you’d like to be in right now!”
Enjoyed all your answers.
Rashmi.
rashmi – thanks :) Honestly speaking, it’s like I really wish that a timetravel machine was a fact.
appu – that was the whole idea. Trip down memory lane :)
artnavy – yeah! well, something that Ive been doing since I was a kid.
Gingko – you will get daramadi now! I dream big ;-)
//3. Smell of the mud in the 1st tropical shower – Madras, not here. :(
Yupp, it happens only in India :(
hey you are a dancer…wow !
Was a good read :)
“what if I said “salsa” ;-p”
Salsa is hot, in many senses :) But really? Do you Salsa?
“kuchipudi”
AWESOME! I love kuchipudi much more than Bharatanatyam.
mouna ragam!!! i am sure it would be in most of movie-loving tamilians’ list of favourite movies.
sayesha – miss it like crazy! Tropical rains are out of this world!
Shilpa :) *madsises wrote, finally. yayy!*
dna – haha, yes, as a matter of fact I signed up for a few classes. whole lota fun, but nothing beats kuchipudi :D *blatant pride*
Inder – mouna ragam was a movie that set some records. Every girl dreamt to get married to a guy like Mohan’s character, and were hoping to madly fall in love with Karthik’s character. me included! :))
I’d love to be a paid mountaineer or a rock-climbing instructor. Damn, that would be so cool.
And btw, what kind of reformist? You dance, too — that is so cool. I’ve two left feet.
