Hibernation and my first Tag

Unlike those cold blooded creatures, I was hibernating(atleast in terms of blogging) during summer. Come winter and with the freezing cold outside, I daresay I would be doodling more. Fee fo fum..Before I start eating those lovely dishes, let me pen down the details..Here goes

Last movie seen in a theatre?
Twilight. Missed to put RNBDJ by 24 hours..Twilight was pretty good though..ie, if you can buy the idea of a vampire romancing. The girl was too cute..Hmm, 7/10 would be my score for Twilight.

What book are you reading ?
Silence of the Lambs. Got it cheap at a Tag sale and started on it. The movie was pretty kewl and loved the "punch" dialogue, when a particularly mean looking Hopkins delivers a spine chilling remark " I do wish we could chat longer but I am having an old friend for dinner".

Favourite board game:
Chess. I can sleep for hours if I catch sight of those black and white squares.

Favourite magazine:
Week, Outlook, India Today. Tinkle(When I was a Kid), Chandaamama(Just loved it).

Favourite Smells:
smell of Petrol,smell of earth after the first rain, smell of ginger and garlic crackling on hot oil, smell that babies have -fresh after a bath.

Favourite Sound:
Sound of ball hitting the middle of the bat(Only if you are the batsman)
Sound of the stumps flying off(Only if you are the bowler)
Sound of the temple bell ringing, at my hometown

Worst Feeling in the world:
When India loses a crunch game
When you are hurt by someone whom you like a lot
When you are embarassed at a huge gathering of people

Favourite Fast Food place:
Ambis thattukada, Prince/Priya hotel(Chengannur)
Grand Hotel(Cochin)

Chillis(Middletown)

Future child's name:
Not decided, Leaving it to my wife. Would love to have 2 girls though :-)

Finish this statement, “If I had a lot of money I’d…”
Get a fab bike, hold a big party for my friends, take my parents on a shopping spree, take my wife(if I have one at that point)on an exotic trip to a place of her choice and if there is anything left, invest the rest in real estate. Phew !!!

One nice thing about the person who sent this to you:
