I like…
- cracking really good (or bad?) PJs (poor jokes a.k.a. pun)
- people who really make some impact in the world whether in a large scale, or in grassroot level
- talking to people
- listening to people who talk and are ready to listen back
- the fact that I never hold grudges
- when I always give people a second chance to be good
- people who are open to the possibility that their religious principles may be imperfect and needs constant tuning
- smell of fresh rain
- free hugs (or “Jadoo Ki Chappi”)
- to wear seatbelts
- to drive fast and safe
- cryptic crosswords
- Jennifer Aniston
- anything made of potatoes
- spirituality
- knowing more about cultures around the world
- movies
- the sheer beauty of life
I hate…
- when someone asks, “So why don’t you tell me a PJ?” PJs have to come spontaneously
- candlelight protests which don’t seem to convey anything useful to anyone
- introverts who don’t open up even after I try hard to include them in a conversation
- people who boast
- when I have sudden bursts of anger
- when people don’t give me a second chance to show that the angry me is not the real me
- people who are narrow-minded with respect to religion
- smell of Chinese soy sauce
- any kind of formality at my home
- when people break traffic rules
- sitting on the other front seat when someone else is driving
- riddles
- Aiswarya Rai
- anything with Coriander/Cilantro added in it
- materialism
- when people have a very cliched view of my culture
- killing sentient animals for food, sport and vanity
- Cricket
- people who don’t know how to value life
This list will keep growing.
