I was tagged on facebook by Bianca, Minna and Lubna. I’m re-posting it here.
1. I’d like some sheeps in my room. Stuffed ones.
2. My style is originally offbeat but I’ve camouflaged.
3. I wrote my first book at the age of seven or eight. Nobody bought it. It was a workbook.:P
4. It always intrigues me how gadgets work. When I was young, I’d break open my gadgets and fix them again but I didn’t always succeed.
5. I’m not bothered by silence at all and don’t find it awkward in conversations either. I welcome it.
6. I feel I’m blessed with a great family and great friends.
7. And a great sense of humour.
8. I like traveling to exotic places.
9. I keep a notebook in which I write interesting anecdotes my elders tell me.
10. My life is about exploring, learning and aiding.
11. I find empathy to be a respectful personality trait.
12. I believe one shapes one’s own life. There’s a lot of beauty, compassion and goodness in the world and the people. So, don’t fix your eyes only on the opposite.
13. For me – Fame is not success. Neither is gaining material wealth nor acquiring power. Success is self-discipline, benignity, humility and the ability to bring about a positive change – big or small.
14. My most interesting conversations are the ones I’ve had with children.
15. Being selfish because others are selfish is not a rightful excuse. Yet it is used so often.
16. My notebooks are full of drawings of weird creatures.
17. I’m obsessed with Irani Cinema.
18. I can listen to and enjoy all types of *good* music. Classical, country, metal, rock, jazz, folk, reggae… but I prefer listening to old songs, classical compositions, and world music (celtic, African, Far Eastern, etc).
19. I can do it. I can make it to number 25.
20. My birthday coincided with Eid once – I got a very few birthday wishes and even my family didn’t remember it. No, I don’t feel bad about it. =P
21. I’m very eager to watch The Wizard of Oz again.
22. I’ve a thing for athletes, adventurers and natural scientists.
23. I turned 23 yesterday.
24. I want to continue writing for children. I’ve written for magazines but now I’m concentrating on writing and illustrating books.
25. I love walking and cycling. For me, it’s good enough a reason to immigrate to be able to walk and bike openly.
