I thought this would happen one day. One day, someone would be there, with a bag-full of weird questions - ready to hurl them at me… Oh YES!! I've been TAGGED :)

Before I delve into answering the tag-questions, lemme share with you some moments from yesteryears that are making me nostalgic. It was long back…seems like eons now. My tenth' days. During those days, there were no blogs, no myspace or orkut, not even emails. There was something really wonderful - a slam book :) Almost everyone had one - and all of us had to have entries from everyone else. We were a really tight group - the entire class. The slam books are the memoirs of the glorious innocent days.

Scene Change. Back to the present.

Common', bring it on…
