My Mount Rushmore

[the_eternal_overthinker]

 Flipping through my book of life (which is more of a scrap book than a diary with entries made now and then with some moments which are blurred by time) that I realized; each one of these are made of just me (the accompanying people make a pretty background that enhances my texture) and all of it has become a part of my present existence (to sculpt me into who I am).

 

                         And so, picking up a few would be injustice to the rest and hence here I am sharing some fun facts about me which would help you carve me out:

 

1.     I am an only child and my parents are my biggest strength. I know for a fact that they’ll stand by me in face of any adversary. I rely on them a LOT.


2.     I cried in my senior kinder garden class because I expected the strict teacher to hit me on my knuckles for dropping my pencil down. (She wasn’t that cruel to do that) The upside was - she introduced me to my first best friend whose name rhymed with mine. We were pen-pals for a very long time after I shifted town. I have had three more best friends after that.


3.     I have had spectacles on my eyes from a very early age (6yrs) and used to hate wearing them. (psst…I still do.) I used to get teased for it by kids of my age.


4.     I used to love dancing and had taken up Bharatnatyam lessons in my school days. I had also joined karate classes which I left before learning any self-defense tricks.


5.     I am socially awkward most of the times and always think twice before speaking. I make up for it by being a great listener.


6.     I am foodie, a romantic, pluviophile and lot of other things that aren’t coming to mind.


7.     I am in a “not yet published” zone when it comes to writing. I came across LJ Idol by fluke and I enjoy the process of creating stories out of nothing.


8.     I have gone Scuba diving on my honeymoon and though I was terrified at the beginning it ended up being FUN. I still can’t swim to save my life. Nor do I know how to ride a bicycle or a bike.


9.     I enjoy long walks and good company. Books are the best gift you can give me, I am a voracious reader.


10.I Cos-played as Gru last year in comic con with my new family (cousins and hubby). Presently we are honing our green thumbs and trying to grow organic veggies (Chilies are the easiest to grow).


11.  I am a dentist by profession and I love designing smiles. It been a decade since I passed out of dental college and that really makes me feel old.


12. I have dated, got my heart broken once.  And now am happily married to a guy with a great sense of humor who played last season as “devilz_workshop”. I have black hairs which are turning grey, brown eyes, relatively fair skin for an Indian.

 

I hope this gives a complete picture and you may add or subtract some strokes on your own. Thank you :)

Thank you kindly :) The first paragraph is the only thing which is from the original draft...I kept toying with a lot of ideas (fiction/non-fiction) and finally thought of sharing the four best moments of my life and as you can see I couldn't decide on that either :P :D

Glad you found me interesting..You are someone I always look up to <3 Thanks again :)
