Tag@Mac

I got tagged from Mac. Honeslty, I blog almost all the time because he pricks me with all stupid comments like "You have a blog???" Hmmffffpppp Yes, I do have one! :)
Here you go...

1. If your lover betrayed you, what would your reaction be?
Oops, wrong door!

2. If you can have a dream come true, what would it be?
I don't know. I have so many that I probably will not end up making one.

3. Whose butt would you like to kick?

4. What would you do with a billion dollars?
Go bonkers - buy a beach house and share the loot :)

5. Will you fall in love with your best friend?
If it happens, I think that will be the almost perfect relationship. But that hardly happens, considering the fact that he or she is your best friend you might not be attracted to each other or just might not want to ruin your friendship.

6. Which is more blessed: loving someone or being loved by someone?
Being loved is what we all want but loving someone is magic in itself. Our ability to love another person is what makes the world go round.

7. How long would you wait for someone you loved?
I hate waiting :)

8. If the person you secretly like is attached, what will you do?
Dream about him for a week and then let go.

9. If you could root for one social cause, what would it be?
Poverty.

10. What takes you down the fastest?
The third first gulp of LIT.
11. Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?
A week ago I would have said probably still in the corporate world with a job I love. Now, nothing is for sure...I am in between dreams!

12. What’s your fear?
Growing old.

13. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
Mac is a nice, kind and a valuable human being. It is a blessing to know him :)

14. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?
If poor means not being able to go to the beach then NO thank you very much. I'd rather be rich and single!

15. What’s the first thing you do when you wake up?
Grab the paper and heat the water for tea!

16. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously who will you pick?
If the love quotient is equal for both; I will pick the one who loves me more. Ta da! Now, IF that is also equal then the last resort will be to ask them to choose between the beach or the mountains. The Beach wins hands down! :)

17. Would you give all in a relationship?
Yes. But sometimes your "all" can be pretty small compared to what you are expected of :)

18. Would you forgive and forget someone no matter how horrible a thing he has done?
I can say yes because I have pretty much forgotten about all the "horrible" things that people might have done to me so far in my life. I get angry at that second and then weeks after I forget about it. Life is too short to just be brooding about things which are in the past.

19. Do you prefer being single or in a relationship?
Single :) I know, I know being in a relationship is what we all are supposed to be driving at they say but is it really? I am doing great being single. Why mess it up!

20. List of people to tag:
Loren and Benz.

Surfing

Surfing is ridiculous. Ridiculously wonderful! It is being one with the ocean - literally.

I saw The September Sessions - a 2002 surf movie/documentary-like featuring the world famous Kelly Slater and other surfers with Kelly and Rob Machado doing the voice overs. This was my second surf movie so I could pretty much follow what they were saying and in what context. Thicker Than Water, another film by Jack Johnson was my first surf movie. I'd really wished Thicker Than Water had subtitles with the names and background every time they showed the surfers riding the waves or at least periodically. However, I think what worked me was that both the movies were raw, confusing, original and awe-inspiring! It was non-commercial.

Look at Kelly go for the big one! (print screen picture from the movie :)

In the movie, the surfers talk about how sometimes we get a chance of being alone but don't really enjoy the solitude. We don't even realise that we are addicted to living with people around us. I could really relate to what they said next about being able to enjoy moments of solitude especially when you are in the water, enjoying the surrounding, the temperature of the water, the birds flying by, and just looking around and all these things coming together which refreshes you. These moments are priceless - calms everything.

Surfing takes my breath away. It is beyond my comprehension as to what the surfers must be feeling at that moment when they are just On the tide or when they go Through them. The closest I could get to surfing was body boarding at Palolem - and I still cannot forget the feeling of "riding" the waves. I cannot imagine what you'd really feel when you actually surf. It makes my heart skip.

I am a total ocean babe and cannot wait to experience the waves again :)
