So I was tagged by Burf. I had to ask Rohit and Richa what tagging was to understand the whole concept. Once I understood, I figured it was going to be great fun. So here I am...tagged. Burf, I did not do the post you wanted me to (sorry dude) but picked another tag from your blog. And added more to it from one of Richa's earlier tags. It's a long list here...but one that was great fun to do. And people, pick your favorite 10-20-30 points and answer. Would love to read them.

I just love the way you write. This post as u predicted that id like it well ofcourse you were right!!! I loved it.Infact there were so many things i found simiar....Will look forward to more posts of yours....
"I remember almost every ghost story I have ever read"..huh?
Made a pencil shaded thing for my brother recently..for Aritro?what can it be?!!!
really interesting stuff..though still not sure what tagging means..
CATS!!! yay! how come i didn't know that you hate cats?! we're not sisters in madamgiri only. common interests or rather, common dislikings are what make it so amazing. :)
i love your Sayantanism. if you don't have a follower till now...count me in as the first bhakt.
saunf? really??? :D
cool hai yaar. great post. aur Rohit ne aapko kya sikhaya? usey bhi maine hi bataya tha poora tagging ka funda. "HMPH!"
@ b
Thank you! Thank you!
@ Deeps
Next time whenever you are in Gurgaon. But give me notice in advance.
@ Rohit
Huh? What's wrong?
@ Anku
See...I knew it! That you would identify with several emotions. :D
@ Komal
Yes...I remember almost every ghost story I have read. And that's no small deal, if I may say so myself. Have a HUGE collection of ghost stories both in English and Bangla.
Yes, for Aritro. That's a story in itself. Tell him to tell it. :D
@ BASTM
Totally, we are sisters in every possible imaginable crime. And Prashantism comes very close to Sayantanism. You can follow either of the two religions. Both the founders are in total agreement with each other over such matters. Hee hee hee.
Chal, meri Ma...tuney hi Tagging samjhaya hain sabko...ab khush?
@ Aqui
Do one yourself. It's fun...instant cheer-up material.
Interesting and blunt post ..I enyoed reading this one :)

Cheated all the time while playing a game? What did you play?

@ Vir
Want to know about your night in the lock-up. And bunked school...NEVER???? Yeah rrrright!
@ Subhadip
Thank you. Are you referring to talents like shoplifting though?
My kinda games are scrabble, ludo, pictionary...the likes.
@ Aritro
You GUESS you are my brother? You jackass! And to see what I have made for you recently, I suggest you go and look up the door of your bedroom once again. It's pasted right there.
@ Rohit

And from my side let me tell you although you know it very well, you are one of the few people from JNU I chose to stay in touch with...am sure that that speaks volumes about how much I appreciate you, your presence in those two years of my life, and our subsequent on again off again terms of friendship.
