Rahul Writes

This tagged post is because of Namrata :) Her rules are:

RULE #1 People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by them.

RULE #2 Tag six people to do this quiz and those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.

=~*~*~*~*~*~*~*=

1. If your lover betrayed you what would your reaction be?

:) What a question to start with! I would talk to her.

2. If you could have one dream come true which one would it be?

3. Is there any person, at whose face you wanted to throw your slippers/sandals/shoes at?

No, that would be too wrong for me to do but ok, if I take that as a phrase, then it would be the man who started caste based reservations in India.

4. What would you do with a billion dollars?

Will spend wisely :)

5. Will you fall in love with your best friend?

How can I say "will I"? But if it is in my hand, I won't fell in love with anyone until I marry.

6. Which is more blessed: loving someone or being loved by someone?

Being loved by someone; though it always becomes the other way too.

7. How long would you wait for someone you love?

I am not in love at this moment, and I don't have any idea about the way it happens in future. In ideal case, one would wait till the wait gets over.

8. If the person you like finds someone better than you, what would you do?

To say one can find 'better than' anyone is wrong, because everyone is better than everyone else. It can happen only if we judge people based on a single criteria. In case something like this happens, I will talk to her and we would see if her changed/new priorities for her life are right. In case she realizes what I mean to her, two people will remain happy together. But in the end, love means making the other person happy, sometimes we have to accept realities and move on; nothing is bad enough for us to feel miserable. Happiness comes from within, others give us only pleasures.

9. If you could root for one social cause which one would it be?

Closing down all slaughterhouses for animals

10. What takes you down the fastest?

Insensitivity, ugly selfishness, pretention

11. Would you like to have the job you love or love the job you have?

Well, I am a normal human being and we all 'like to' have the former, but decide to be happy with the later if it has to be so.

12. Darna mana hai… But what is the thing that you fear most?

Concern about safety of family

13. What kind of person(s) do you think the person who tagged you is/are?

A warm and gentle girl, enthusiastic and a good human being :)

14. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?

Single and rich is impossible: you mean unmarried and rich. And it is a curse :)

15. What is the first thing you do when you wake up?

Recall the time I have to go out for college / job

16. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously who would you pick?

The one who is simpler in her nature.

17. Would you give all in a relationship?

Nope. But yes, if it is in the family. Have realized that we enjoy very few truly honest relationships. So I won't sacrifice for something that is not worth it. If relationship means responsibility, then of course I will never back out.

18. What’s eating you now?

Global economic slowdown :)

19. Do you prefer being single or in a relationship?

Single. You would have notice I am confused about what to make it from the term ‘relationships’ :) No one loves to be single; but relationships without responsibility and commitment are waste of time, something that we have got in scarcity.

Post Scripts:

From this exercise I reach the following conclusions:

1.   This questionnaire was not created in India.

Clues: 'pie', 'lip encounter', 'first car'.

2.   May be some NRI created this.

Clues: 'dream dates options', 'different cities/towns you have lived in'.

3.   This was created by a boy to get filled up by a girl:

Clues: 'Dream date options', 'stuff animals',

4.   Seems the last 5 questions were added afterwards.

Clues: Q30 seemed to be perfect ending of the tags, some Q31+ have smaller case letters, earlier had only Capital ones.

Picture: Stop your smile if you can :)

Valentine Day special:

I had two posts ready for today; the other one was on politics. I was very enthusiastic about it and wanted to post it first. But I gave in, as you may expect something special on this day J Here is a small incident to mark the day:

One day after that big-sad day, I was sitting in our library's reading room, working on my lap-top and a song from Jab-we-met was running through my ear-phone, repeating itself again and again. A pair was sitting in front of me, as usually happens, girl looked pretty, (I didn't exactly see her, but I guessed J), and the boy was not-that-smart J

After a while, the boy indicated something to me. I stopped and asked what the matter was? He said that the music was loud. I didn't know that the volume through the ear-phone was loud enough for them!

I smiled 'man-hi-man' at what I had done: for half an hour, I had made his girlfriend listen to the romantic songs! That was quite something! Valentine day special?
