The tag game continues, many thanks to Renu :) An interesting bunch of questions to be answered, some to which the replies were instantaneous, others that required some thought.
RULE #1 - People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.
RULE #2 - Tag 6 people to do this quiz and those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.
********
1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
I would be shattered, then murderously angry & would eventually cool down to indifference and therefore being single.
2. If you can have a dream come true, what would it be?
That all my family live close enough for us to meaningfully be a part of each other's lives.
3. Whose butt would you like to kick?
People who don't do anything positive, but will spend a lot of time and effort to screw things up for others.
4. What would you do with a billion dollars?
Invest the bulk of it for a steady stream of income that would let hubby & me: keep donating money to worthy charities; send my parents & parents-in-law to their dream destinations; buy homes in London, Florence, Bombay & Kerala; travel and see as much of God's gorgeous earth as possible .
5. Will you fall in love with your best friend?
My best friends are hubby & my family and I obviously love them; have other close friends too who I love, but no, wouldn't be in love with them.
6. Which is more blessed: loving someone or being loved by someone?
I used to take it for granted that if there is a relationship between two people, any relationship - parent-child, or siblings, friends, spouses etc - love just automatically exists. But I have sadly learned this is not necessary: you may love, but it doesn't mean that you will get that love back, so definitely receiving love is the greater blessing, in fact, the greatest blessing.
7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you love?
Going beyond the man-woman love context to love in any relationship, I would wait as long as it takes.
8. If the person you secretly like is attached, what will you do?
Wish them well and move on.
9. If you could root for one social cause, what would it be?
Taking basic education to the level of understanding and respecting differences in religions and cultures, coz just having a degree doesn't necessarily make you tolerant.
10. What takes you down the fastest?
Intolerance and discrimination.
11. Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?
I honestly don't know where I'll be; but in terms of what .... hopefully a mum of two and aunt to more nieces & nephews :), and a better artist, cook, writer & photographer than I am today.
12. What’s your fear?
Falling down steps .... seriously, I'm phobic about going down steps :)
13. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
An idealistic soul with a practical mind; devoted wife & mum yet an individual in her own right.
14. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?
Married to hubby ..... I can handle anything with him by my side.
15. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously who will you pick?
I don't think you can love two people simultaneously. Love for me means a lifelong responsibility & commitment to one person; if someone else is also in the picture, it can't be love.....probably just a serious infatuation :)
16. Would you give all in a relationship?
Otherwise what is the point?
17. Would you forgive and forget someone no matter how horrible a thing he has done?
The basic prayer of Christianity is the 'Our Father' which clearly states that God forgives you in the same way you forgive others; if I don't forgive, I can't expect God's forgiveness either. I recite this prayer daily, and in my book, to keep saying it and then not even try to do it makes the prayer pointless. So even though I don't forget, I do try to forgive and continue to be good to those who have hurt me.
18. Do you prefer being single or in a relationship?
Hubby has enhanced my life, so definitely with him :D
