The 30 Question Tag
I first saw this tag in Dandilsa’s blog and decided to take it up. Now, Aparna has tagged me to do the same tag.
1. LAST MOVIE U SAW IN A THEATER?
Jodha Akbar

3. FAVOURITE BOARD GAME?
Scrabble
4. FAVOURITE MAGAZINE?
Reader’s Digest. Till a few years back, Gokulam too.
5. FAVOURITE SMELLS?
pasikoNDa neratthil thaaLikkum oasai sangeetham - This line from the song poo pookkum oasai is the one that came to my mind on reading the question. Some of my favourite smells are maNvaasanai, onions getting fried, cashews getting fried in ghee, roses, jasmine, mullai poo, marikozhundhu, kerosene, petrol, Vicks and lots more
6. FAVOURITE SOUNDS?
Chirping of birds, rain, the sound of moving train when there is silence all around, kuzhandhayin mazhalai & lots more
7. WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD?

8. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN U WAKE?
I wish I could sleep for 2 more minutes

Haven’t even thought about it
11. FINISH THIS STATEMENT—IF I HAD A LOT OF MONEY I’D…

12. DO U DRIVE FAST?
I drive only a Scooty and 40 km/hr is the maximum speed that I go in it.

Depends on the after-effects of the storm
15. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?

cashews frying in ghee.. sinful!!!

‘t was fun to read your version…
Aparna on 30 Apr 2008 at 5:29 pm #
and if you do build that audi.. do drop me a word when the concerts are happening..
Sathej on 30 Apr 2008 at 6:33 pm #
Oh auditorium - a great idea
but well, sometimes I feel no mikes, absolutely no acoustics, sitting on the floor is the best way to listen to kutcheris. Wistful thinking!
And 2 more minutes….exactly
Having time to do ‘nothing’-that’s a long time wish for me too

Your very first Woodehouse… hope you continue with the rest of his works - Piccadilly Jim, Jeeves & Wooster, Adventures of Archie… they will open up a whole new wit filled world…
Stuff like “He was not disgruntled but he wasn’t exactly gruntled either…”

sreekrishnanv on 01 May 2008 at 9:42 pm #
this is becoming like a Sun TV interview … like same old un interesting questions and not so revealing questions….
Do not pick any tag unless you think they are way different than whatever you have already answered !!
Samma interesting a irukkanum !
Aparna on 02 May 2008 at 10:21 am #
Aparna,
Yeah sure you will be the first to know 
Sathej,
Dandilsa,
Since we do share similar tastes in music, why don’t you contribute the lotsa money that you are going to get too, so that we can get that audi built soon? 
That’s great!
Vijay,
I am yet to finish reading this book. I think I will read a couple of books of Wodehouse and see how much I enjoy those before I start reading more of Wodehouse.
Benly,
Welcome here again! I am yet to decide if I am going to read all the Jeeves books.
Vinod,
Will remember to read it sometime..
Arun,
Arvind,
You should be surprised if I don’t mention ARR’s name in a post 
Btw, it’s Rahman and not Rehman.
What’s life without ARR’s music?
That’s great! I knew you won’t disappoint me.
Hope you do the tag soon!
Sreekrishnan,
These tags give me something to keep writing on. That’s the reason why I am doing a lot of tags nowadays. Will remember to think twice before I take up a tag from now on!
arvind on 03 May 2008 at 9:30 pm #
