Once you get tagged simply copy and paste into your own note and replace my answers with your own. Once you have completed your own list please send back by tagging me and however many of your friends. Just do it!!

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
No! My mum wanted to name me Meera, but dad didn't really pay heed. I could have been Ragini too- but Radhika it is. And my aunt named me Nandita. I never have any idea what she's thinking anyway.

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
Like, big time? That'd be 3 weeks back.

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Well yeah! There's hardly anything about me that I don't like- well, nothing that can't be taken care of at least.

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
I feast on Bimbos- and never, never go Hungry!
But yeah, due to excess of weight gain thanks to consumption of Mascara, I'm going Veggie.

5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
Well, yes. My dog-ess (I'd never call such a gentle thing a bitch, a word used for the likes of Shambhvi Sharma and Kirsten Dunst and Anusha Dandekar) Lisa, my cousins Ketki and Isha- and anybody who's in for getting pampered filthy!!

6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
Well yeah! The original me would be so endearing and so talkative and so 'all-the-good-things-in-the-world' that new-me (Navami?) wouldn't have a choice!

7. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
To my lunch meat? They fall for the bait. Try it with my mother, I get the 'did-you-just-say-that-don't-you-wanna-stay-here-anymore?' look.
Inference- yes! A lot!

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
Surprisingly, yes. I was born with swollen ones, threatened with an operation, and then finally- I still have them on!

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
Well- why not? After my kids have been settled, my husband's with me, my boss' gone without the rope, my mother doesn't know. Why not?

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
Is that available in the canteen? If not, then I probably don't know.

11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
Normal people untie their shoes, then take them off. People who make these quizzes untie their shoes when they've taken them off.

12. IF YOU WERE TO PICK YOU OWN FIRST NAME, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Red- for love, hatred, passion, anger, freedom. For me!

Laziness, and compulsive nerdiness.
