1. I am 29. I weigh 56 kgs. Though I claim to be 5' 4" tall, I am a little shorter than that. - Roshni

2. I can hold a conversation in Spanish, I can understand French. I can read Tamil and Kannada without understanding a word of either. I could read Arabic(Urdu) script, not any more. And I am fluent in four others. - Roshni

3. I started reading before I started walking, supposedly. I could read full sentences before I went to school. I don't remember learning how to read, I could always read. - Roshni

Boy! You're old! - Ashwin

4. I need to keep my toenails painted. I have painted them the same shade called "Vixen" by Revlon for the past 5-6 years. I don't dare changing it. It makes me happy. - Roshni

5. It's 4:13 am, and I am an insomniac. - Roshni

7. I absolutely suck at playing any game/sport. Never have me on your team in pool or bowling. I used to play Table Tennis for school which I was just about okay at. I couldn't even run 100 m. Only because I had bronchial asthma through childhood. Hence - - Roshni

8. I am paranoid about being unfit, more than about being fat. I obsess over it. I go to gym upto 6 days a week. This year I plan to finish the half marathon, but am afraid to fail. - Roshni

9. I have lucid dreams. I could lucid dream even before I knew it was called lucid dreaming. - Roshni

10. I had a pet star tortoise, called Timothy. I also had a pair of rabbits for a couple of days, but my mother gave them away. I bought them because their eyes looked like pomegranate seeds. - Roshni

13. I won the Tan Kah Kee Young Inventors award for my research work by the Singapore govt. I am proud of that. thought I should tell you. - Roshni

14. I am not afraid of heights or of rollercoasters, and most other things. I am petrified of simple suspension bridges with gaps - you know, the wooden ones? I have this fear that I'll slip through the gaps and fall into the river below. :) - Roshni

15. I read "Still life with woodpecker" at a time when I was very troubled. It helped me in a way I can't explain. - Roshni

17. I like smells/aromas more than sights/sounds - I have this crazy fixation whereby I try to remember how a moment smelt. I can sometimes recreate memories in my head just by that. I believe visual or auditory memories are way too easy these days.. [I confess my love for perfumes] - Roshni

21. People usually look at me and invariably say - "You remind me of my <someone> from <somewhere>". I always wonder why. I wonder if they go to someone else and tell them they look like me. Oh and the moviestar comparisons crack me up, every time. - Roshni

22. The song "Torn" by Natalie Imbrigulia's chases me. I find it playing in the oddest of places when I walk in. It's a bit creepy at times. - Roshni
