Nicely done tag!!
So your astro sign is Pisces. No wonder, all that imagination 🙂
Wish you that $1,000,000 to keep walking!!
Keep Blogging!
Me: Biju, how did you get the idea that I am a Piscean?? *mystified* Is it because of the Neptune connection?? THAT is a ‘different’ story altogether the refrence to which you might have missed due to your late entry here. Well, my post about why I am from Neptune is still pending. So you will have your answer some time in the future. I am a Cancerian with a Pisces ascendent. So the Pisces connection is there. Thanks for the wish! 😀 I wonder how far I can walk at my age! 😛 But I am willing to give it a try!
Deeps said:

I love the same pets, and have the same (biggest) fear!
Ganne ka ras and paranthas are great, so is a place near a peacefully flowing river …
…and we all love sales!
Me: Interesting to know you have the same fear. Hmm… I didn’t get that about the ‘sales’ though. What’s that?? *wondering*
bindu said:
This is so neat…

Me: Thanks Bindu! 🙂

//…and also love Sa-re-ga-ma-pa when the judges keep their mouths shut and let me listen to those singing.//
PRECISELY!
What did/do you teach? 🙂
-g
Me: The judges talk too much and spoil the whole show in music programs.
I taught Economics to Pre-degree students for exactly 14 months, my first and only job before donning the mantle of homemaker. After that it was just teaching the monkeys. Thanks for dropping in Gauri, I really enjoy reading your blogs
Solilo said:
About your age..Shail, Kya aap Santoor se nahaati hain? :))
Count me in for Aloo ka parantha and around the world with a backpack in sneakers.
I love friends too.
Me: Lol @ Shail, Kya aap Santoor se nahaati hain? :)) Thanks for the compliment *blush blush*
I am game to watch FRIENDS re-runs any time. Aloo ka parantha and around the world…. Yo lets go!!
Roopa said:

Me: Thanks Roopa. I think those who read my blogs know a lot about me 😛 alle??
Chirag said:
This is a brilliantly done, even I love Ganne ka ras but beer will be on top of the list. Yay, we both suffer form procrastination he he he

Me: Thanks Chirag. So ganne ke ras takes second place for you eh?? 🙂 Lol, I liked that ‘lets do something about it later’!
balvinder said:
Shail, wow singing, my passion and the song one of my favourites, Tere Mere Sapne. That way any Rafi song.
Me: Let me hasten to remind you Balvinder that the singing is to myself! 😛 And I love Rafi songs too.
Bubbly said:
Favorite place, Favorite drink, Favorite pets, Worst habit is mine too (honestly) 🙂
Me: Ahhh, but why am I not surprised??!! 🙂 We already have a lot of similarities, don’t we??
Biju Mathews said:
**wink wink** Cancer with a Pisces ascendant? Hmm, both water signs. What’s your Moon sign? I just cross checked all your posts. You have been very poetic on all full moon days and very nostalgic and reminiscent during the moon wanning period 🙂
Keep Blogging!
Me: Biju, really???? Or are you pulling my leg?? And does the *wink* mean that you are a Cancerian too with a Pisces ascendent?? My Moon sign is also Pisces, btw. Thanks.
amreekandesi said:
First time here 🙂
aloo paranthas are quite the awesome snack!
Me: Welcome Amreekandesi. Yep, I agree. Three cheers for aloo paranthas! 🙂
Aditi said:
This is just to say that I like Aaloo-Paratha too !!! Very much indeed 🙂
Me: One more aloo parantha fan eh?? Seems to me it is a universal favorite! 🙂
Rhett said:
You are a cancer, a sign ruled by the Moon, so why Neptune?
I love FRIENDS too.
I also adore English teachers. Were you one?
Have you ever eaten an aalo paraantha made in a northie punjabi family?
Have you ever listened to a Rafi song on radio, preceded by an anecdote abt the song by a lady RJ with a soft voice, on a lazy, languorous afternoon?
That is one of the many places where India looks at herself in a mirror and smiles to herself, at her own beauty.
Me: Why Neptune?? Good question Rhett. The answer shall be revealed when the mood strikes! 😉 After all I am ruled by the Moon.
Hey, my husband served in the Sikh Regiment. I don’t think it can get any more Northie or Punjabi than that! 😛
Do you mean Vividh Bharti?? 🙂 Yeah, the radio used to be my constant companion!
Oh btw, I was an Economics teacher. Please don’t throw stones at me. I know most people don’t like Economics and neither do I. 😦 English teachers are always THE best. Why is that I wonder.
Chikki said:
Amazing..
I loved the creativity..The way of expressing your likes. Damn, I so wanna copy the idea unless you book me for plagiarism.But then, you can’t, I am there are no words. yeah! I am so happy. 🙂
Me: Welcome Chikki. I haven’t tagged anyone but I hereby tag you. So go right ahead and make a post of your likes with pictures!! 🙂 Lol, you seem to have read ‘Bloggers against Plagiarism’ Right?? 😛
Biju Mathews said:
No, I’m not pulling your leg. You go ahead and check your post and the corresponding moon status (I actually only checked a few :-))
I’m a Libran with Leo as a Moon Sign but my ascendant is Cancer. So in short I’m as emotional as the word signifies. I actually go to the movies to cry!! 🙂
Me: I will take your word for it! 😛 A Libran?? Hmm… And I never cry at the movies!

You write that : The first thing I’ll buy if I get $1,000,000: Buy a backpack, a sturdy pair of shoes and start walking.
I think the bag you showed is not as costly as of one million dollar. So please have no waiting until you get the million dollar Cheque. You can buy it easily from Trhiruvanthpuram’s Market. And if you do not find there, just tell me. It is available in Ahmedabad.

Me: If I get $1,000,000, what will I do with it was the question and this is what I will do. Lol, the cost of the bag or shoes doesn’t enter the picture. Thanks for dropping by Naval 🙂
