Maggie from The Novel Orange did a really fun tag last week that I thought was fun, and most important easy and quick to do 
. Since it’s been ages since I did one of these tag posts, I thought I’d do this one 
Four Things People Call Me Other Than My Real Name ♥

Four Things I Am Always Saying ♥

- Let me check and get back to you (at work if I am not sure about something)

Four Movies I Have Watched More Than Once ♥
- Sholay – all time classic, I can recite lines from this movie in my sleep, I think. I don’t think I am the only one though, this is classic Bollywood.
- Deewar – another Bollywood blockbuster. When this movie released, my school actually took us all for a movie showing, it was that epic a movie.
- Satte pe Satta – this is a Bollywood remake of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. This Bollywood remake turned out in my opinion, better than the original. I am anyway a huge Amitabh Bachchan movie buff – the movies he did during the 70s and 80s rocked my world, and I have watched most of his movies more than once, so I am a little biased I guess.
- All the James Bond Daniel Craig movies
Four Places I Would Rather Be Right Now ♥
- Bali
- Chilling out at a tea estate somewhere quiet and peaceful
- Road or rail-tripping through Europe
- Mom’s place in Chennai
Four Books I Recommend ♥
- The Secret History by Donna Tartt
- Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
- A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R.Martin
- The Harry Potter series by J.K.Rowling
Four Television Shows I Watch ♥
Hmm, this is a difficult one as I don’t watch television much. I”ll just list some of my fave shows that I have enjoyed.
- True Blood
- Game of Thrones (currently the only one I am watching)
- North and South (a mini-series that used to come on TV, it’s based on John Jakes’ books that are set during the Civil War in America)
- Beverly Hills 90210 (this was a favorite during my teenage years)
Four Jobs I Have Had ♥
- Worked at an ad agency (my actual job role was client servicing officer, but that sounds super sidey now when I think about it >.< ). Basically I had to chat up clients and get their requirements, and then pass it on to the creatives. This was my first paying job :)
- Sales person at a book store. Such fun, I really enjoyed my time there
- A guest relations officer at a 5-star hotel. Even more fun, got to meet tons of fabulous people. Best experience was chit-chatting with the actor Anil Kapoor, really suave and fun to talk to, and I’ve ended up being a fan of him since. The worst person I met has to be Kamal Haasan who turned out to be a drunken bore.
- Video editor at an NGO. Meh experience, since I didn’t know anything about video editing or storyboarding. I learnt a lot, but overall it was a pretty dull job.
So that was the four things meme. I hope you liked it, if you are interested in participating, consider yourself tagged. Let me know once your post is up, I’d love to visit and read
