I heart tags :)

Mandira tagged me, so here's lots more about me:)

I am: An Idealist. Honest. An Optimist.

I think:one day there will be peace, compassion, justice, freedom, happiness all over the world.

I want: to live to see World Peace; a better India; Politics sans crime and violence;equality and justice for all living creatures, including women and minorities world over.

I have: the power to do my bit.

I wish: I was more disciplined. Had more will power. Did not get so obsessed with the latest interest that I neglect everything else.

I hate:Bigots. Fundamentalists. MCPs. Fascists. Taliban. Communalism. Honor Killing. Gender Bias. Cruelty to animals. Narrow mindedness.

I miss: My dad...NO one in this world can hear and advise as patiently.

I fear: if we do not do something, this country will be ruled by Fundamentalists/religious fanatics/hypocrites ('Girls should not wear jeans to allure boys' kind of governments).

I feel: Very strongly about justice, fair play, privacy, freedom, equality, about state interfering with citizens' personal lives (e.g. rights for gays and lesbians/celebrating Valentine's day).

I hear: Extra sharp. Can be a nuisance sometimes.

I crave: Ras Malai & Kaju Katli.

I search:and never find an explanation for why God created a World so imperfect.

I wonder: how anybody can have such double standards, no conscience, closed minds, so much fear, no feelings, so much greed, such dishonesty...and still look normal. (upon meeting such people)

I regret: Nothing very seriously, just little things that can be amended- not going to the Gym regularly, not starting to drive earlier...not driving the more spacious, more comfortable, family vehicle yet...

I love: My family and pets. My causes. Democracy. My freedom. Any body's Freedom.

I ache: for injured stray animals looking for water, food and some love.

I care: About what happens to children on the streets. About women on pavements ...about little girls and boys growing up in homes where alcohol and violence ruin their childhood.

I am not: as independent and bold as I'd like to be. But I am trying.

I believe: If we really, really want something we do always get it.

I dance: Love dancing very much. Always amongst the first on the floor and amongst the last to leave.

I sing: tunelessly, while driving, in fact all the time. My family will do anything to stop my singing :)

I cry: a lot when I see, hear or even read about suffering...

I don’t always: speak my mind.

I fight: without seeming to fight. But I do fight for what I believe in. All the time.

I write: to communicate, to share, to get something out of my system ...

I win: Do I care to? It's never about winning or loosing for me.

I lose: Again it doesn't matter, lose today, try again tomorrow.

I never: give up. At least not easily.

I always: am very cautious. Check the doors are locked. Gas cylinder knob is down. Kids have their mobiles with them. The car has enough fuel. Burglar alarm is working.

I confuse:people's faces/names/roads/dates. But never Zodiac signs.

I listen: Willingly and with pleasure. I am a sounding board for many friends and acquaintances.

I can usually be found: On the net. At my home. With my kids. Reading something. Watching CNBC TV18\News Channels. In the Gym.

I am scared: but I am not a coward.

I need: to keep growing, learning something new, taking care of my health and making sure Husband, Daughter and Son do the same. (read nagging)

I pass this tag to The Naive Indian, Imp's Mom , Aaarti, Kislay and Manpreet.
