Nice answers. Now we know a little more about you.
ReplyDeleteWe have some similarities. I love Discovery Channel and the Food Network. Like you, I love the Cheesecake Factory in Los Angeles, Sarvana Bhavan, and yes, the Taqueria Canonita in Vegas.
I was surprised at the words/phrases you use. I thought you would have included “anyways”.
Neha,
ReplyDeleteThanks re. :-) I am not worried about the pain, but about the feeling that what if I get bored of it?
Regarding photography, hopefully I should, thank you.
My TV shows, hmm I actually had to think a lot to get those 6 shows.
Absolutely!! you got me. I use those words to express sarcasm, sadly not many get them. :-S
Thank you
