Liebster Award and Tag!

Thank you Nikhil, Ekta, Jyothi and Maithili for awarding me the 'Liebster Award' and this tag! Since I do not wish to bore people by answering all the 40 questions, I am taking up Nikhil’s set as I received it first.

1. In a dilemmic situation, would you listen to your heart or your brain? why?

Ans: Depends what the situation is and what’s on stake.

2. Choose between an “Unlimited internet connection for a month” & “1 month of your favorite food delicacy”?

Ans: I would choose the latter.

3. Five rare random facts that most people don’t know about you?

Ø My Grandfather served as the personal Physician to His Highness Jodhpur for some time.

Ø Many of the classics I have are from Grandpa’s personal collection of books.

Ø My extended family is quite diverse! There are members belonging to Maharashtra, Kumaon, Punjab, Gujarat, Rajasthan, UP, MP and a few other places! A family gathering seems like a multi-cultural fest!

Ø I have a certain liking for Germans. I find them intellectual, tough and dependable.

Ø My mother named me ‘Niloufer’ as she loved this name but she did not know the meaning of this word. Hence, my name was changed to ‘Ankita’ which means ‘inscribed’. Now I know, courtesy Internet, Niloufer means ‘water lily’.

Ans:  Alice in ‘Alice in Wonderland’ :P

9. Something that you would love to do but are too afraid to?

Ans: Bungee Jumping

10. A superpower or a lot of money….and justify your choice?
