Seven

The "Seven" Tag was passed on to me by Anitha the ThoughtRaker, who has a blog with some exquisite writing. I am in love with her poem on tearing up a rainbow!

Though I told her that my list would look almost like hers, I am making my own anyway.

7 things I wish to do before I die

1. Write a best-selling, award-winning book :)
2. Get fit enough to effortlessly run a marathon.
3. Travel around the world
4. Learn at least one song each in all major languages of the world.
5. Bring out an album.
6. Give a speech at a UN Conference.
7. Adopt a village, make it self-sufficient and raise it above the poverty line.

7 things I do not enjoy

1. Impoliteness
2. Pollution
3. Papayas
4. Hypocrisy
5. Bureaucracy
6. Corruption
7. Dirty toilets

7 things that attracted me to Blogging

1. The fact that everybody had a blog. :)
2. The fact that I felt I could write better than some of the bloggers I came across.
3. The fact that I love to write, and I thought a blog would be the right test-pad.
Yup, that's it! :)

7 things I say most often

1) Oh mannnn....
2) Wow!
3) What a life!
4) Yen gottha.. (Kannada for "Know what?")
5) Relax!
6) Just forget it.
7) Whatever!

7 Books I like

1. Gone with the Wind - Margaret Mitchell
2. The Great Indian Novel - Shashi Tharoor
3. India Unbound and The Elephant Paradigm - Gurcharan Das
4. All books by James Herriott
5. Books by James Michener - especially The Source and Hawaii
6. Enid Blyton's mystery series - Probably got hooked on to books thanks to "Dear Old Enid"
7. Ruskin Bond, RK Narayan
and Arthur Hailey, Robin Cook, Jeffrey Archer, Roald Dahl, P.G.Wodehouse and lots more!

7 Movies I want to watch

Mmmm.. many of them.. cannot think of any right now, except Rang De Basanti. :)

7 pieces of Music I enjoy

This is going to be very difficult.

1. Raag Bhairav - by Pt.Dinkar Kaikini
2. Balaji Pancharatnamala by M.S.Subbulakshmi
3. Flute by Hariprasad Chaurasia
4. Careless Whispers, Nothing's gonna change my love for you, and thousands of other soft pop..
5. Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, etc. etc.
6. Old Hindi Melodies, and a few new ones.
7. Folk songs.

No, I cannot stop, nor can I continue...... Aaaaaaaarghhh Help!!!

7 people I am tagging

Nopes, not tagging anybody :) I hereby declare that I am breaking the chain!
