Archies Comics: Will Archi ever make up his mind?? The God of Small Things: Arundhati painted Kerala with words! Check out my testimonial for her. A Handmaid's Tail: I almost puked! I hope such a time never comes. How depressing!

I usually enjoy movies with happy endings but then I watch all movies that hold my interest. To name a few: Saving Face: Mom and daughter's little secret! Frida: So beautiful but so sad! Life is beautiful: It's my life source! Finding Nemo: Can't be more positive! Hotel Rwanda: Useless United Nations!! Imagine me and you: Unreal but so much fun!

Seinfield: Glorifies stupidity and makes you laugh! Jay Leno Show: Just love it! The Simpsons: Dysfunctional happy family. That's what I like about it. There's perfection in imperfection! Kasamh Se: Story of three orphan sisters with of course the melodrama of an Indian soap! Kahani Shuru with Love Guru: Totally cheesy!!

Libra

I am unserious about life in general but care about a few things. I am NOT interested in politics/feminism/activism (although I appreciate who are involved in such activities). I like to keep myself abreast of global happenings but I don't like to analyze stuff where I know I can't make any difference. I believe in personal development, in fact I think life is nothing but a self-improvement project. I think just by becoming better persons we can make a big difference in the world.

I let others be.

Friends: Someone who will let me be.

Personal: Femmes, professionals, those who enjoy exercising, and staying fit and in good shape, who are looking for long term relationship. Some one who enjoys simple things in life. Some one who is silly romantic, believes some one somewhere is waiting for you to meet, enjoys getting drenched in the rain, watching a starry sky sitting near a campfire in the forest, enjoys the sweat droplets trickling after a workout or a hike, some one who is full of energy and enthusiam and try out new things.. Who likes all the surprises that life has in store.

Generally: People who are direct, straighforward and honest. Honesty might hurt, but it hurts less than insinuating a dagger in the back. I like easy-going people, who aren't strongly opinionated, (and if they are, do not impose their opinions on others)
