I still think I am Cool!

·         I have not yet played Farmville. I have not played Angry Birds either.

·         I don’t have GPRS activated on my mobile.

·         I don’t have a broadband connection at home.

·         I have not read any of the Harry Potter books nor watched any of the movies

·         I keep myself away from screens - TV, laptop, smartphones.

·         I belong to the era when Apple and Blackberrys were fruits and not electronic devices; I like it this way.

·         I can live on music. Indian music.

·         I still don’t understand English songs.

·         I relate myself to Hindi Bollywood songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s the most.

·         Mukesh is my all time favorite singer.

·         I still feel that the flirting and naughtiness in songs such as ‘mere dil me kasak si hoti hai, yu hi tum mujhse baat karti ho, gore rang pe na itna guman kar, hai hai ye majburi’ is timeless.

·        ‘Bheegi bheegi raaton me and dilbar dil se pyare’ are more sensuous than bheegi hont tere.

·        Nikaah, Umrao Jaan and Namaste London are the movies I can watch countless times.

·        Manoj Kumar is the most dashing man I have ever seen.

·        I still greet many of my acquaintances with 'namashkar or nasmate'.

·        I still touch the feet of my elders.

·        I still greet my cousins and friends living in the west with ‘kaise ho’ and not with ‘hi!’

·        I am a vegetarian by choice.

·        I know how yummy tandoori chicken or butter chicken is; I still choose not to eat.

·        I don’t eat eggs. You read it right – I don’t eat cakes, waffles, cookies and pastries. I still survive.

·        I still find coffee the hottest drink.

·        My idea of a perfect romantic time is walking together for hours by the beach.

·        My idea of perfect understanding is sitting together for hours and saying nothing,  just listening to each other’s silence, being with each other and with yourself without the fear that anyone is getting bored.

·        Yes! I believe you can listen to silence as well.

·        A cup of coffee or hot chocolate in a less crowded place is a great date. Any coffee would do.

·        You don’t have to buy me expensive dresses or jewelry. Expensive gifts do not appeal me. I just don’t know what to do with them.

·        A BMW does not turn me on. A Maruti 800 which you use to take your friend’s mother to the hospital is a perfect turn on.

·        Shopping is not my hobby nor is it a stress buster. I do not understand retail therapy.

·        Malls are not a place to shop. It is a place which I use as a common point to meet my acquaintances.

·        I don’t go to malls when I visit different cities. I find them all the same except for the size.

·        I don’t have 10 pairs of shoes. I don’t feel the need for it.

·        I shop only when there is a need.

·        Most of the dresses I wear are gifts from any cultural or religious events.

·        I think I have enough dresses. My mother does not think so.

·        and...I still think I am cool
