7. What do you miss?
Home, having a completely organized music collection and being organized among things.
Fine, I’ve never been organized. Still, I must miss it.
8. What is your most prized possession?
I don’t possess so much to have something prized. I have a poster which I’ve carried around for over 12 years; a few trinkets, a couple of gadgets which are significant. I’m guessing the alienware and my car were probably way up there; and are not easily replaceable.
9. How tall are you?
6′1″-something. A childhood dream, seriously.
10. Do you get claustrophobic?
Sometimes.
11. Do you get scared in the dark?
Secretly ? Sometimes.
I just tell myself that the monsters in the dark are Mike and Scully - making me want to meet them.
12. The last person to make you cry?
I honestly don’t remember. The absence of Thatha, possibly, is the closest I can think of.
13. What kind of hair/eye color do you like on the opposite sex?
Black-eyed with the effervescent twinkle, and dark haired. ‘Doe eyed’ has always been among some descriptions I’ve given.
14. Where can you see yourself being proposed to at?
In a kingdom, Far Far Away.
Even then, Shrek might have to sit on me to have me do it. When, of course, I won’t be able to - being flatter than a pancake.
15. Coffee or energy drink?
Coffee, I don’t prefer energy drinks ever.
16. Favorite pizza topping?
Plain cheese, though right now I’m off pizza.
17. If you could eat anything right now, what would it be?
Vengai sambar and aloo karakari. Always.
Else, paneer makhanwala and naan. It’s been a while.
18. Have you ever eaten a goldfish?
Nope. Ew.
19. What was the first meaningful gift you ever received?
Very tough question - more so because I believe that even the acts of others done out of free will is a gift too. Way too many people, way too many things. Materially, possibly the first book my parents ever put in my hands.
20. Do you like anybody?
Yep. And hopefully, people like me too. Like-like ? Gimme a break.
21. Are you double jointed?
No. I can contort myself, even in my sleep though.

No real preference. Clothes aren’t very important.
23. Do you have a pet right now?
No, but I wish I could take care of one.
24. What kind is it?
n/a
25. Would you fall in love knowing that the person is leaving?

I don’t think so. I’ve pretended to be someone else on the phone once, and succeeded.

44. If you were another person, would you be friends with you?
Probably, at least just to have someone around to watch weird movies with.
45. Do looks matter?
Not so much, good looks even cause major insecurity issues in even opening a conversation in my case. I can’t really comment, not being a winner in the looks department anyway.
46. What was your favorite toy as a child?
I’m thinking a rubber wrestler I got as my first action figure. Destroyed so many toys with him. Later, one of my GI Joes.
47. Do you use sarcasm?
Who ? Me ? Never. Ever ever ever. The point being ?
48. Mashed potatoes or macaroni and cheese?
Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E.
49. What are your nicknames?
Tatya, Tish, Tatee, and Satyavageeshwara.
Gotta love them.
