1. LAST MOVIE YOU SAW IN A THEATER:

2. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING?
The Great Indian Novel by Sashi Tharoor..Story of Pre-Independent India interwined with the epic story 'Mahabharat'. Have just started, but found it to be very interesting and different.

3. FAVORITE BOARD GAME?
'Scrabble'. Used to play Monopoly a long time back

Readers Digest and The Week. Like the columns 'Humour in Uniform' and 'Life's like that' in RD. The Week has a good column by Shobha De.

5. FAVORITE SMELLS?
This is quirky stuff..But I like the smell of petrol ;-)...I don't know why, though in Chemistry I have learnt that petrol has a pungent smell ! Jokes apart, I love the smell of coffee..hot filter coffee :-)

Any western composition on the Piano..I actually love the theme music of the film '7G Rainbow Colony'.Do hear it..You will love it!

10. FUTURE CHILD'S NAME?
No clue yaar. But I like the name 'Rohan'. It sounds both modern and traditional :-)

11. FINISH THIS STATEMENT. "IF I HAD A LOT OF MONEY I’D...?
If there were only 'if's' and no 'but's' ,my aunt would have been my uncle ;-) Ya, it's a Siddhuism.
