I crave: for pakodas and tea and good company.
I search: for my real self.
I wonder: why people are the way they are.

I write: to lighten my heart.
I win: friends and influence people (How I wish!)
I lose: gracefully (I think).

I always: try to be on time.
I confuse: myself with all the thoughts in my head.
I listen: sincerely when people are pouring their heart out to me.
I can usually be found: tearing my hair out, and running after Puttachi.

I need: love and understanding.
I am happy about: how this tag has turned out.

I don't usually tag people, but how about I tag some new friends and readers this time... Sumana, Lively, Swati, ~nm, Dhanya... , and of course, an old friend, Shyam who likes tags :). Anybody else? Please feel free to pick up this tag!

Thanks Shruthi.
That was interesting - I was rather surprised at the number of times I had to stop and think for the genuine answer to each of this. In that sense this tag involved a lot of introspection too apart from being fun.
I think Sumana and Swati have to do it -once for me and once for you. :)
