Unnakaaga Ellam Unnakaaga from Puthayal

A super sunny Sunday over here. My sore throat is very much better. Hope it eases off before Monday comes a calling. 
http://ummon.wordpress.com/2012/03/11/a-tag/This full of pep blog, is on my reading list. And, today, I came across the blogger's post titled, simply, "Tag". I have a thing for tags. You know, a mild level of fixation. I find them interesting. And, enthralling. 
In response to her post, I am going to be lazy, answer her questions and not do anything else. 
So, here we go.....
The 11 questions tagged to the blogger
1. If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
To be able to read another's mind. We always say things we do not intend to. I could save the day (many of days, actually) with this superpower.
2. What was your favourite childhood television program?
Hmmm..... reruns of Alf. I thought that 
furry but cute alien, had a lot to say.
3. Have / had any celebrity crushes ? 

Of course. Richard Dean Anderson of MacGyver. And, Will Smith. Now, it is Dhanush.
4. If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go?

India. Still. Despite my countless visits there, the infinite country continues to charm me. And Greece (despite the turmoil and financial crisis) and French Polynesia's Bora-Bora Island.
5. Name 1 thing you miss about being a child.

Getting my way with absolutely, everything. I am the youngest and was doted upon. The trick does not work now, though.
6. Name the one comic/book character that you loved the most and why?
But I loved, absolutely loved, books. And one of my favorite characters then was Jo of Little Women - as written by the blogger.

I never read comics. But books, yes. Lots. From Enid Blyton's to Jane Austen's. And, my all time favourite book IS Little Women by Louis May Alcott. And, Jo was my favourite character, too.
7. What is the one thing that you are dying to try but haven’t had a chance to do so yet ?
Moving to India, as in M-O-V-E not V-I-S-I-T. Many people are against the idea and are constantly discouraging me. But, it is what I would love to do but do not have the chance to do, yet.
8. Do you have a role model – someone you want to emulate? Whom do you admire the most?

My father - undoubtedly. For teaching me great life pointers. I so miss him.
9. What do others make of you?
That I am talkative - only, with people I know. I am.
10. Have you ever gotten into a fight or punched someone ?

I am not audacious. Arguments, yes - to prove the point. But fights, none. Punched someone, never. Made a punch ? Ya. A non-alcoholic party punch with pineapples, watermelons, lychees, peaches and oranges. Wink, wink.....
11. For Girls – If you woke up tomorrow to find out you are Brad Pitt, what would be the first thing you’d say upon looking in the mirror???
OMG !!!! I have become Mrs Jolie :-P

6. Name an international city that you feel is over-rated.
Hong Kong. Noisy and bustling to the brim. Definitely, over-rated.

11. Illayaraja or A R Rahman?

Illayaraja, Illayaraja, Illayaraja (and echoing......)
