Play Tag, Not Dodge
Have Fun ...
Dagny says, “This time it is not one but 2 games in one… and you either play both or you don’t play at all. You have to tag people in multiples of three only… minimum being 3 naturally.”
The Naughty Tag (Game 1)
1. What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex? Please no corny answers like his/her personality, we all know what we notice first :-)
My answer: Since we are talking pure physicals here, I guess it’d be how tall he stands. Oh no, not in any metaphorical sense!
In inches, ok? Eeesh! Not THOSE inches u perverts. Oh the HEIGHTS of moral degradation I am alive to see. Tsk tsk! 
Any woman above 5’5 who’s had the misfortune to spend time in kolkata will vouchsafe for this particular fixation. I’d never had the pleasure of dancing with a single male who was tall-er than me in college & every new year's eve wud get saddled with the 5'9 alok singh, who never managed to clear his 3rd yr engine-erring & finally became a chef. So there…
2. Who- of the opposite sex- would you want to be with if you were deserted on an island?
My answer: No way are we talking ‘lets-make-a-home’ stuff here. Dagny, how valid is this distinction b/w ‘what’ you’d do & ‘who’ you’d be with on the island. Theres only so MUCH u can do with limited resources, na? ;-)) After all ACTIONS speak louder than words.
So, I guess it’d be sm1 like ian mcewan or ishiguro. ah, the tales these men spin; Clooney or depp for the fantasies only they can fulfill & last but not the least my sweet ol’ hubby for all the thinking, planning & hard work that’d be required to return to mainland once all the story telling & (pro)creating is out of the way & I’m bored.
3. What turns you on about the opposite sex?
My answer: Unshakable integrity & a serious interest in things that do not directly touch his life. Stuff like iraq, stem cell research, GPS communication, new wave cinema..…anything. If u can only talk abt hockey or hedge funds ur too limited for my intelligence. I don’t mean to be immodest but it’s a sad fact.
Also, a good fragrance is such a rare pleasure in india where men still think ferrari black is a luxury car & stephen king is a writer of horror fiction! 
4. What turns you off?
My answer: I’m easily irritated. shome, markiv know it only too well. However, these r a few of my…
- idiots who type ‘lol’ or post a ‘smiley’ when theres a lull in the conversation. Arrey, ever heard of serene silences?
- Those who crib coz their wives don’t work (in office) & also crib if they have to warm their own food for the one day when she is away when they return frm office.
- Those who cast furtive looks in the midst of a serious discussion whenever I wear a remotely sexy outfit to an evening party. Dekh lo, lech ..thats why I wore this…but after that, can we pls return to sanity?
- Those who think that by agreeing with me unconditionally they’ll make me happy. U cudnt be wrong-er. This is the extreme antithesis of chauvinism & I detest it as much.
- Diplomacy. Aargh!
5. Some Froppites have their real picture on the profile and some don't but just going by their blogs/ comments/ scraps who do you think is the hottest female (male bloggers answer this) and male blogger (female blogger answer this)?
My Answer: shomeonly coz i know him really well & rat race coz he leaves a lot to the imagination. 
Bookworm Tag (Game 2)
RULES
1. Grab the nearest book you have been reading. And yes, when I say BOOK… I do NOT mean Cosmopolitan… or Playboy… or even Playgirl magazines. I am asking for words… not pics…
2. Open page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Acknowledge the person who tagged you. (Dagny tagged me)
6. Add the rules.
My Book: From Beirut to Jerusalem – Thomas Friedman
Page 123 – skip over first 5 sentences. Here are the next three sentences.
“So, just like any other Lebanese militia, the PLO became a machine for the social promotion & advancement of a certain class of people. Don’t think for a minute that they didn’t love giving orders to the sons of Parliament notables. In Lebanon, the PLO became so obsessed with social promotion it stopped caring about Palestine.”
And now for the diff part – tagging. Guys, don’t lemme lose face. Pls pls oblige.
