10 Random Facts About Me

1. My study behaviour is alternately characterized by excitement and procrastination. Sometimes, I’m excited and crazy enough to study the entire day and sometimes I just lie around on the couch doing nothing important.

2. I don’t show it to others, but I’m in love with nature – the sea and the breeze and the dense, crazy, beautiful Mumbai rains. The snow drives me giddy with happiness, and I love lying down in fresh, green grass.

3. I don’t care about a lot of people, but am extremely defensive about the few people who matter to me.

4. I’m obsessed with order and organization, in almost everything I do.

5. I’m way too outspoken, and frank and sometimes that borders on rudeness but I just cannot seem to shut my mouth when I have something impulsive or sarcastic to say :P

6. I’ve been reading since I was 8. There are times when I feel that I’m not really adept at anything other than gobbling down books but then a burst of self-esteem hits me and I’m pretty much alright again :’D

7. I love watching movies, but don’t watch enough of them.

8. I know we’re living in a generation where pressurizing students about grades or even being too concerned about marks is shunned down upon, but tbh, marks matter a lot to me. They may not be my life, but they’re pretty important to me and I’m proud of being that way. Honestly, if someone asked me what things about my personality matter most to me, apart from the basics like honesty, humility and generosity, I’d probably say my academic performance and my verbal skills matter most to me.

9. I get irritated way too easily.

10. I love the fact that as and when we grow up, we look back at things which embarrassed us when we were younger, and how we laugh at those same things now. I love looking back and laughing :)
