The Four Things Meme

Maggie from The Novel Orange did a really fun tag last week that I thought was fun, and most important easy and quick to do 🙂 . Since it’s been ages since I did one of these tag posts, I thought I’d do this one 🙂

Four Things People Call Me Other Than My Real Name ♥

• Nish
• Nishi
• Gubbar
• Idli munji (because my face is really round)

Four Places I Have Been ♥

• New Delhi
• Bangkok
• Hong Kong
• Colombo

Four Things I Do Not Eat ♥

• Meat or fish (I am vegetarian)
• Soya and artificial meat
• Cream based gravies (too rich and too bland for my taste)
• Coconut based gravies

Four Things I Am Always Saying ♥

• I love you, and give me kissy (I say these to my kids all the time)
• It’s okay if (fill in the blanks here) happens. I always say that when someone is freaking out over something
• Let me check and get back to you (at work if I am not sure about something)
• What shall we do today? (every weekend, that’s my standard morning line at breakfast time)

Four Places I Have Lived ♥

• Mumbai, India
• Chennai, India
• Sunnyvale, California
• London, England

Four Things I Am Looking Forward To Next Year ♥

• Being more settled into my new job and doing well here
• Piglet spending a full day in school
• Planning our next family holiday
• Snubnose’s school finally getting constructed and she going to the new school campus that is closer to our house and has better facilities

Four Movies I Have Watched More Than Once ♥

• Sholay – all time classic, I can recite lines from this movie in my sleep, I think. I don’t think I am the only one though, this is classic Bollywood.
• Deewar – another Bollywood blockbuster. When this movie released, my school actually took us all for a movie showing, it was that epic a movie.
• Satte pe Satta – this is a Bollywood remake of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. This Bollywood remake turned out in my opinion, better than the original. I am anyway a huge Amitabh Bachchan movie buff – the movies he did during the 70s and 80s rocked my world, and I have watched most of his movies more than once, so I am a little biased I guess.
• All the James Bond Daniel Craig movies

Four Places I Would Rather Be Right Now ♥

• Bali
• Chilling out at a tea estate somewhere quiet and peaceful
• Road or rail-tripping through Europe
• Mom’s place in Chennai

Four Books I Recommend ♥

• The Secret History by Donna Tartt
• Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
• A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R.Martin
• The Harry Potter series by J.K.Rowling

Four Television Shows I Watch ♥

Hmm, this is a difficult one as I don’t watch television much. I”ll just list some of my fave shows that I have enjoyed.

• True Blood
• Game of Thrones (currently the only one I am watching)
• North and South (a mini-series that used to come on TV, it’s based on John Jakes’ books that are set during the Civil War in America)
• Beverly Hills 90210 (this was a favorite during my teenage years)

Four Jobs I Have Had ♥

• Worked at an ad agency (my actual job role was client servicing officer, but that sounds super sidey now when I think about it >.< ). Basically I had to chat up clients and get their requirements, and then pass it on to the creatives. This was my first paying job 🙂
• Sales person at a book store. Such fun, I really enjoyed my time there
• A guest relations officer at a 5-star hotel. Even more fun, got to meet tons of fabulous people. Best experience was chit-chatting with the actor Anil Kapoor, really suave and fun to talk to, and I’ve ended up being a fan of him since. The worst person I met has to be Kamal Haasan who turned out to be a drunken bore.
• Video editor at an NGO. Meh experience, since I didn’t know anything about video editing or storyboarding. I learnt a lot, but overall it was a pretty dull job.

So that was the four things meme. I hope you liked it, if you are interested in participating, consider yourself tagged. Let me know once your post is up, I’d love to visit and read 🙂
