The Kite Runner -Khaled HosseiniA Beautiful Mind - Sylvia Nasar ....... Same pinch...... :)
Deepti ur passionate abt ur Family n Friends. That means ur an aisle light for em :)
Keshi.
Passion generates focus to achieve.
Deepti..you are passionate about being punctual and I can never be on time. I have to be at least 2 minutes late if not more. :)
You in love with A R Rahman? ;)
Any concerts you have been to?
I went to his concert in Detroit and it was out of this world!
Surya Kireedam - Devasuram is a favourite of mine too..but my bro is a diehard fan of that song and used to keep playing that several times in a single day..it was a overdose kill for me..;-D
Being punctual is very important for me...even for a leisure trip I hate when people make it late..thats one thing that irritates me a lot..
'Lexus Land Cruiser ' whaaah..In case you manage..a ride please..;-P
"Drive my own SUV ... a Lexus Land Cruiser atleast
Backpack to remote destinations and host a travel show"...quite adventurous,aren't u?
The Carpenters,John Denver,and Roja in my favorite list too.
Good going with the "research";-D..Thanks for taking it up.
Jhumpa's new book is out now. Calling God bilingually should absolve you of most sins. The Goal has an interesting sequel that should be useful if you wanna become a ringmaster one day! Really, no four lettered words, not counting ciao :)
@Mayz: hifi for the tatoo and SUV. I like the male version of the song too .. Some unknown singer Anup ghoshal but its awesome :)
@Karthik: Hopefully it materializes in Delhi. Else anyother place would do too :)
@Sachin: wow , so we share the same taste in books. Do read Khaled Hosseni's second book, it is really worth it :)
@Keshi: Thanks a lot!! I do stand by them as far as I can :)
@Hobo: Yes it does!! Thanks :)
@Sol: But there is no one arounfd to see me when I come on time .. I am always kept waiting :)
So you saw Rehman Live in concert? Wowwwwww ... You saw Rehamn live and I saw Aamir Kahn for the IPL finals .. Talk about crossed stars!! :)
@Mathew: Land cruiser ride .. anytime :)
About being puncctual .. no one around to see you when you are on time .. Have to keep waiting and yeah it is very irritating :)
@Neena: I am being over adventorous ... hope I can acheive atleast few of them madam editor ;)
@Shantanu: I just chanced upon her books and liked her style. Looking forward to read "Unaccustomed Earth" too. About being ring master , I have no clue but I like Goldratt's style.
Four lettered word i just put it like this "What the hell... which in cases of extreme emotion metamorphosises to you know what ;)"
"To keep my humor intact ..no matter how hard it is at times "--Guess, I had a dose of this from you ;)
Interpreter of Maladies -some stories cheriya kathi alle?
@Nikhil: I tried to be humorous but fell flat .. didnt I ? ;)
Yeah agree about interpreter of Maladies ... some stories verrum kathi :)
innovative....
@Nishanth: hehehehe.. innovative? you think I am making all this up bro?

award
too :)
