Lots of things. 2010's been the sanest year of college so far.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
My attention span (or lack thereof) and TV-watching habits (or lack thereof) make answers to questions like this painful.
36. What political issue stirred you the most?

37. Who did you miss?
One needs distance to facilitate missing.

Dunno.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2010.
The best is yet to come.

“This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blog’s content or design is, in the giver’s opinion, brilliant.”
Wah.
Some rules of the Game:
a) Show off your honesty(and modesty) by thanking the person who gave you the award and link to their post. (Thank you Sahana, may your tribe increase.)
b) List 10 honest things about yourself. Cheating makes you lame, so just play along, all you taggees.
c) Select 7 other bloggers you think deserve this award and pass it on to them.
d) Notify said bloggers about the award and invite them to be the honest ones next.
-----------------
1) imho, sitaphal kulfi trumps everything else in the icecream bracket most of the time. This is because I like how uncomplicated it looks, it's very misleading. Also, it tastes like a smoother version of rabri.
2) I either live in extreme squalor or extreme cleanliness. I like cleaning but I have to notice the dirt first, which takes some time because I'm usually noticing dirt elsewhere =)
3) I cut my nails obsessively. I can't stand them getting that dead-layer white crescent.
4) I faze out of conversations more often than people know.
5) At one point of time, I loved Linkin Park.
6) If someone offered to pay me to get a boobjob or something, I'd probably accept.
7) I don't like the way Dylan sings or sounds. I don't mind the songs as such.
8) I'm scared of riding my bicycle.
9) I'm incredibly selfish about sharing things I love, especially music or poetry, you never know when it'll become a status. I believe in the hide-your-love-away deal, I'm that petty. I don't do this with books though.
10) I eliminated at least five points about myself while writing this. Honesty ek farce hai.
Tagging Sroyon, Roshni, Sugar Magnolia, Sherry Wasandi, Ahona, Anty and Rorschach, plus whoever wants to steal this.
