Things you don’t know about me.

The very first chapter of my first grade Radiant Reader was called “Late Kate”. Daddy dearest felt then, that I personify it. Today I know I do. I am a shamefully self-confessed, last-minute-person.

•I am an idealist. At times to the extent of being stupidly so.

I used to be an atheist once. Now, there is room for debate. I take after my dad in that sense. He once threw away my mother’s make-shift puja ghar simply because he thought it was obstructing the white-wash proceedings!! That said, my old man is a million times better, nobler and kinder than many god-fearing fools.

I look like a wild-child but I am happily old-school. I will think a hundred times before being ‘interesting’. Wink Wink. And yet, if something feels right in my heart, I am far from traditional.

•I am like a puppy to the people I love. All they’ll need to do is show me some love. My tail will wag for them forever.

• I hate to admit that on the inside I am a hopeless romantic.

• I once shouted at my boyfriend and asked him to grow up, 'coz he lovingly offered to buy me flowers. I was 19 then. (Though I gifted a teddy, to his utter embarrassment, and thought that was normal!)

• A Jyotish once told me that I will have an extra-marital affair at 52. Yippiee!

• Bravery attracts me.

• I am quite a toughie. I don’t cry easily. Only a good book, a touching movie, dogs (cute, ugly, ferocious or tiny) and babies can break me. 

• One day I want to make enough money, so I can pack my bags and travel the world for the rest of my life. 

• I have an ego larger than two-times ME. I WILL apologize when I am in the wrong. Unfortunately, I expect the same. (so...is that ego or dignity?)

• My biggest fear – Loneliness. 

• I get special day blues. Which is why, I have not celebrated my birthday for 3 years now. I don’t want to confront the fact that there is a possibility of it being any less special. So I run away… 

• I have always wished to travel back in time. Very seriously. 

• I am capable of being as cold as ice and not look back (and I have too much patience for my own good). 

• I love musicals.
