25 Things about me

Well here is a list of 25 Things about me …. It’s a Facebook thing but I thought why not put it up here so that you can get to know me better …

1. I was born on a SHIVRATRI. It was a New Moon Saturday (can you beat such a deadly combination, comes only once in some 16 years)

2. I am the ONLY CHILD and so I live like a PRINCESS at home! If there's a next life, I wouldn't mind coming back as "ME", but I do want a sibling then.

3. I have Ophidiophobia, fear of snakes ... Even talking about them would lead to many sleepless nights.

4. I also have Achluophobia, fear of darkness ... So I can't sleep alone in a dark room or keep my eyes closed for long!!

5. I totally dread going to the doctor (Injections can kill you see) ... I have a doctors prescription by the name "Miss Nuisance Nair" ( coz of all the ruckus I created to take an injection)

6. I wore glasses from a very young age until college. Thereafter I started using lens till 2 years back when I had lasik eye surgery.

7. Usually I Procrastinate things but end up finishing some work while trying to procrastinate some other work. That’s because I never procrastinate things that I Determine to do.

8. I strongly believe in “Be true to yourself and you can never be false to others”

9. Whenever I am happy I like to jump up n down … I call it Soumya’s Kangaroo Jump … lolzzz

12. I PRAY four times in a day by choice; But am neither a fanatic nor do I have blind faith.

13. I have a fetish for Treasuring things ( I still have the first coin my dad ever gave me, the first note my mom ever gave me, the first email Subhash sent, the first note that my mother in law gave me, the bus ticket when I traveled alone for the first time, all the greeting cards I’ve ever got, etc etc)
