Abha, serves you right for having a tongue-twister of a name. Couldn't you have had a simpler name like Priyakankshi or Chandrikaambe or something?
You liked Delhi 6? Hated the film.
Cheers,
Quirky Indian
hey, fun reading this.. now i know u so much more...
me to planning to do the tag soon..
Hey, those are my favorite names too-- after Abha. Funnily, dunno any real people by that name but I always thought Anamika and Avantika were super cool names. Very mysterious, since I didn't know their meaning for a long time.
Call me paranoid, but a lot of the questions here (esp the end) are the type that authenticate you in bank records and such. I would be more comfortable if they weren't online... like where did you meet your spouse, where were you born and all that.
Maybe an evil genius dreamt up this tag to have a copious database of "secret hint" answers :-)
Nice to read up, though. I didn't know we were going Bungee Jumping!!!
Wah-wah kya list hai :) Your smile reaches your eyes...would love to meet you :) And the "aadha" bit was too funny...didnt the guy actually hear himself say that! LOL. I like the name Avantika...I think the first time I heard it was in a serial long time back. And babes you should taste the vanilla favoured icecream you get here....Kwality vanilla will seem like heaven :) And I am with you on chocolate....just thinking about it is making my mouth water.Let me go and see if I have any to munch on!
Loved ur pura list Adha!..muhahahahaha

Loved the way u did the tag. You are so much fun girl!!:)
suma - yeah! no brilliant questions here! but what the heck! cool answers can make questions interesting and i KNOW you can do that aesily! chalo merti izzat nahi, Cubby ki khaatir kar do! :) and i dont think bungee jumping is dangerous unless you are unfortunate enough to have the rope snap!! :p OR worse they refuse it for your weight! hehe!
M & A - where have you been? missing your comments! :)
cheers!
abha
Fabulous tag! One of the best I've seen around!
Loved reading this beacuse I feel as if i know you a little bit better now!
When you mentioned in pt 2 about having cried after watching Delhi6, I wasn't sure what it meant....
Now I do.
We watched this movie last night. And we both cried throughout the movie. No, it wasn't the poignancy of the movie(as I had assumed after reading your post), but the very fact that we were watching it!!!!!
Now I know why you cried, Abha!!!
I love the one re. alliance francaise :)
Namesake - ask me and you shall know! :p
puja - oye! i really liked the movie!! :p so how did Diya fare?! :)
BEV - hey welcome! and AF! oh i love that place! for more than obvious reasons! :)
cheers!
abha
I and M went crazy laughing over the 'Aadha' thingy.
oh well! has happened to me least about 10 which is a LOT for a name as simple as mine! No, mampi?!
cheers!
abha
