Tagged for a meme by one of my favourite bloggers, Linda of Out Of The Garden, so here goes:
Four places I’ve lived in:
- Jamshedpur, Bihar, India
- Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania
- Chennai, India
- Singapore
Four jobs I’ve had:
- Sub-editor, Indian Express, Chennai
- Sr sub-editor, Business Line, Chennai
- Exec sub-editor, The New Paper, Singapore
- Personal secretary (current)
Four places I’ve holidayed in:
- Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu
- Munnar, Kerala
- Wellington, NZ
- Dublin, Ireland
Four favourite foods:
- My mother’s vendakkai pitla
- My periamma’s peas pulao
- My uncle’s taro root fry
- Sweet, seedless, refrigerated purple grapes
Four places I’d rather be:
- With my family, pretty much anywhere
- At Gogarty’s Pub in Dublin, listening to live Irish music
- At my uncle’s place, playing carromboard with my cousins
- Scotland, by a peaceful loch, listening to the silence
I’m absolutely certain everyone’s done this meme, but I’ll be more than happy if anyone wants to take it up – and let me know, because I’d love to know your choices too!
