Neeramathalam tagged me...
So here goes - 8 random things about yours truly..
1. I can READ. My reading speed was 400-500 wpm before finishing Class X(that was bcs yours truly took the speed reading course in Class 8), and the reading habit has not quite left yet.
2. I love the color white and everything associated with it. This includes expensive white dresses, watches, platinum jewelry, sterling silver, diamonds, but does not include white cotton sheets that I am responsible for keeping white and starched.
3. Am hopelessly old fashioned and conservative. This means that I am conservative at my convenience and modern about your inconvenience!
4. I don't like to appear in a picture. EVER. (This is especially intended for readers who know me personally)
5. Value brevity. A LOT. love people who can fit a sentence into a word. Especially since I never can accomplish the feat!
6. I have the bestest brother in the world, who is also the best human being I have ever met. OK, and all my other relatives reading this.. forget it, none of my other relatives are in any danger of ever reading this.
7. have an impossibly low tolerance for pain. Especially physical pain. Which means you had better not be around when you let that snake loose on me. Or that cockroach. Or that safety pin prick.
8. This is a difficult tag bcs there is so little to say about self!! Seriously, ask me 10 random things about the world. The world is random!
At the end of this really confounding post, is the passing on of the tag(imagine a cheshire cat grin) to.. (imagine a bigger, more gleeful grin), 8 people .. To Zoe, Chiya, Deepa, Wriju, Aradhna, Twisted DNA, Trailady, Sophie.
And the first 8 visitors to this blog after putting up the post... you're tagged too!!!
ENJOY!!

Hi Nabeel: Eid Mubarak to you too!
Your speed will vary with the subject and the familiarity. To check the least possible speed, pick up a passage from an unfamiliar subject. Then check the number of words in the passage, and see how long you take to read it. A simple division will give you the wpm score. A more familiar topic will give you a higher wpm.
Hi Nasra: Thanks for dropping by!
nice tag...
nice one...
No wonder you read soooo many books!
Wish I could speed read like you.
You have a thing for the color white. For me it's always been blue :-)
Hi Shruti, Aradhna, itw:
Thanks!
Wriju:
Wish I could write like you! :-)
1,2 and 4 are the same for me too... :O
I love the color white and everything associated with it. This includes expensive white dresses, watches, platinum jewelry, sterling silver, diamonds, but does not include white cotton sheets that I am responsible for keeping white and starched.

I have the bestest brother in the world, who is also the best human being I have ever met. OK, and all my other relatives reading this.. forget it, none of my other relatives are in any danger of ever reading this.
I wish...sometimes i also had a sibling...though i hav many friends whom really come very close in filling the need for a sister or brother.. the absense of a real one does..leave a vaccum..a small vaccum...a lil pain..
Hi Di: :-) And what is the secret of your reading speed?
Hi Neermathalam: Thank you!! The pain of not having a sibling.. yes, I can understand.. my husband is an only child and I see it in his eyes too sometimes.. but then, at other times, when he realises that there will never be any property disputes in our lives, nor any fighting with people we have loved for years, and no bickering of the wives of the house, he is truly happy too! :-)
