Tagged I Am

Chakli, my new blogger friend, has tagged me to match (more or less) some of my older posts to five categories. So here goes.

Family: What I know to be family, has changed so much in the last couple of years. I married and got a fantastic new immediate and extended family, but I also lost someone precious. I miss you Papa.

Friend: This is also something that has changed drastically since I moved here. I miss having a girlfriend. The wonderful women I knew when back home still remain and we do keep in touch. But it doesn't come anywhere near the luxury of being able to drop by unannounced at a ridiculous hour, chat or do simply nothing for hours on end, and go on crazy eating or spending expeditions.

Yourself: I, believe it or not, am a very private person (I can see Dot and Nodot rolling in the aisles here!). So here's an insight into my sordid real self.

Your Love: Now, I have to confess I have two loves - Dot and travel. Somewhere, sometime, I must've done enough good and accumulated enough good karma to be blessed with Dot. And since I've met him, we've done much travelling and it's been so amazing. I love airports, love buses, love the idea of going somewhere, the planning, the anticipation, love it! Dot, on the other hand, 'hates' it. He ends up having to travel a lot and I get to tag along. I guess it's what keeps us together! But often, because he knows I love it so much, he does something wonderful like this.

Anything You Like: I am always on the lookout for a good deal. It makes me happy like nothing else. Overpricing grocery to make it seem like a better product is something that bothers me and something I try and fight. I'm not ashamed to say that I'm the one trying out a cheaper or 'own brand' alternative before making up my mind about what I like.

So there you go. That's my tag done. Thanks ever so much Chakli. It was great fun to do!

I am supposed to pass on the good karma and I am going to tag the Elfin Goddess, Ms Cute Pants and the Zen Denizen. Have fun chaps!
