I (Reproduced from my notes on facebook)

1. I am doing this only because Priya asked me to. Priya, by the way is one of my oldest and bestest friends. She is the one and almost the only person who manages to inflate my very very large ego even further!
2. Wherever I go, I get identified as either the intimidating geek or the violent, tending to vegetarian, feminist...why is that?
3. I like spending time with myself. I like it even better when I spend that time doing nothing really!!
4. However, I still think that the best times of my life have been spent in hours and hours of aimless and often meaningless conversation with some of my (adda-loving and often Bengali) friends...
5. I like people who love themselves. And don’t pretend to be unselfish.
6. I love to eat…anything. But I prefer to be carnivorous. And I detest rajma-chawal. It was introduced to my palate by the LSR hostel and I hope that I don’t have to encounter it for a really long time…like a lifetime maybe?
7. I am a huge sucker for personal space. And I guard my territory aggressively.
8. I find it hard to NOT sermonize. And I justify my interference by saying that I care and hence butt-in…am working on it guys! I promise it will be gone someday!
9. I have to say though, that when I do sermonize, I usually am proven correct!
10. Given, 9 and 10, I am often mistaken as ‘mother-hen’. THAT is definitely a mistake because I have no maternal instinct at all…I am simply a very naturally overbearing older sister.
11. Over the 15 years of his life, my brother and I have finally come to an understanding that surprises us both. We don’t want to kill each other anymore and can even have meaningful conversations.
12. I am also particularly fond of my parents. I don’t think anybody other than them could have tolerated ‘me’ for so many years and still remained sane!
13. I talk too much.
14. I am still scared of dogs. All dogs. And it does not help when owners say, “Oh! he doesn’t bite.”
15. I hate uncertainty, I like to know what is happening next, at least in my life…and sadly I never do.
16. I can never be stoic…I let all good things get to my head and revel in it for really long. And when things go wrong I can be morose for months together.
17. I often believe that all emotions can be linked to hormone levels…maybe not...maybe…
18. I hate autumn…it depresses me beyond words.
19. I also am not a fan of durga puja (the time that all Bengalis go insane).
20. I am addicted to tea. Good people drink tea...I like people who like tea.
21. I miss my college roommate all the time. I can never have any other roommate because nobody will match up to her!
22. I hate it when people hang up the phone/go offline/leave the house without saying bye.
23. I am developing a love for Economics. I actually enjoy understanding it and questioning it.
24. I was once called a ‘bundle of contradictions’…am beginning to believe it!
25. I can’t believe I actually did this.
