The Expansionist?

June 13, 2008 · 17 Comments

I got tagged by Sandeep n Sakhi.
Please thoughtfully consider the following, and choose one item for each of the categories below. (Be sure to describe your reasons for choosing)

One religious work from a non-familiar tradition you’ll read:
Kuran. I have tried reading an English version when I was a kid.

One music video–that you like–from your “least likely to listen to’ genre:
The one can remember is ‘Palavatam’ by Vineeth Sreenivasan its a new malayalam music video. :D

A book from a genre you almost never read, that you have read, or you will read (promise!):
 I always want to complete all chapters in Bible. It’s sad that I have not done that till now. :(

Somewhere you’d never thought to go on holiday/vacation, and why it might be fun to go there?
New York, I just love those skyscrapers and Times Square.

A specific food you’ve never tried, but will because of this meme, honest!:
I would love to taste the worms and roaches that the Chinese eat. It should be tasty. I am not kidding. I love frog legs by the way. Yummy.

A sport or game you really hate or haven’t tried yet but are willing to give one more go:
I could give a try at golf.

A style of dance you probably won’t try (we won’t make you promise on this one):
Kathakali. I wouldn’t try. Well it takes a lifetime to learn.

A career job you don’t feel you’re suited for, and why:
Teaching. I am sure I suck.

An item that’s “thinking out of the box’ for this meme that hadn’t been included:
Hmmm. Hmmmm again. Hmmmm. Why did you start blogging? : hmmm again. Ans : why did I ever start doing this meme ?? :)

Is there one thing in life you wanted to do, and will do because of this meme, what will it be?
Do a space walk. I really want to see our dear earth from outer space.

I guess everyone has done this tag, so I am not tagging anyone.

    I mean if we can eat chicken, ham.. why cant we eat the rest.?

    People used to eat rats in India, when there was huge food crisis. I have heard that from my grandmom, that some communities used to eat them.

    Harsha, worms are a deicacy in Africa. Also if we can eat prawns, and slimy fishes, worms are not that bad. its all coz we are used to certain things that we like them and we dont like some of em.

    Vishesh,

    Worms? Cockroaches? Eww. :-/

    We can eat chicken because it’s not bad looking and it’s cooked. Roaches and worms..they eat them as it is. And that’s totally eww.

    That was the smartest thing you did not tagging anyone. I have by now read it everywhere.

    And I can;t believe you love frogs! crap! :P

    So, you too like me want to finish reading Koran and Bible. Let me know when you manage this feat. It will inspire me to work at it. :)
