  12. Whoa- 17 questions- ha ha!! You might be surprised to know that I'm an introvert- who has been forced through life's processes to BE an extrovert- so I tell people it is POSSIBLE! :)

    hmmmm....definitely NOT a cool cucumber however, not sure I'm a hot pepper either...Definitely prone to barking...and most certainly a downtown girl..."Down town where all the lights are ..." (can't you just hear that old song in your head now??) :)

    Sorry that'll have to do.

    ReplyDelete
  13. who wll tell abt uptown/dwontown??

    ReplyDelete
  14. oh yeah - loveeeeeee Meg Ryan... big time fan :)

    wooow... slow or fast action - am fast anyday.... :)

    ReplyDelete
  15. Actually Sulo, I hate chocolates. And icecreams. If I HAVE to take an icecream, I'd go with vanilla. The only flavour that I love is the Weiss mango icecream. Slurp, it tastes like real mango.

    I had doubt with a few Qs too. What is wikipedia/wordweb for? Uptown: A residential part of town away from the central commercial district.

    Downtown: Of or located in the lower part of a town, or in the business centre

    I had doubt with 5, 7, 8, 16? Nancy, will be of help if you could throw some light on these

    ReplyDelete
  16. Nancy, you are S.O.O.P.E.R.B!! And even if you give us 22 Qs on the last day, we are game for it!! Sulo, give me a virtual Hi-fi!!

    By the way, see what you have done to us? Led us into referring to Wordweb/wikipedia to answer you....How sincere could that get?? Psst, Why don't you award the two of us on the last day-- for this sincerity ;) (Ok, Sulo gets the first prize, and I'll get the second). *runs away before Nancy raises her hand for a whack*

    ReplyDelete
  17. OMG N is making up with a vengeance for sulo, RS & Co needling her on delayed posts. 17 questions - Phew !

    1. In Bangalore there is no town, up or down. Only up up up chaos.

    2. How about country for the first line and R&R for the second. Goes by the name of remix.

    3. What does ribbing fair maidens, strictly from a distance, qualify as. Extrovertedly introvert ?

    4. Both are painful to cut and hence best avoided.

    5. I refuse to answer questions that are applicable only to Yanks.

    6. As if you have a choice. If you bark in Bangalore, the stray dog police will take you away. They are claiming a passing resemblance !

    7. Another Yank question. I will only answer if you ask Shaktimaan or Krrish. Answer if and when you ask.

    8. Hitting a ball with a stick or hitting a stick with a ball - what's the difference ??

    9. Brunettes and Blondes are both perfectly welcome. Who cares if they are chocolatey or .......

    10. You must be joking. You can only catch "makkiyan" at our neighbourhood deli and the "speciality" is the same gruel but packed in an English newspaper instead of Kannada.

    11. Neither. Power is off; so no email. Ltr wrtg frgttn n aj of SMS (sulo pl note)

    12. The history of my great town is that of boiled beans. Geography is varying sizes and shapes of potholes. Take your pick.

    13. Both actually. Boredom stuck on Marathahalli bridge of yore for 82 minutes crawling 1 inch. Suffering is stuck on Marathahalli bridge of yore for 82 minutes crawling 1 inch.

    14. The staircase door is locked. The escalator does not run (for reason see answer to 11).

    15. Cheating Cheating. A user of Twitter must be called a twit. Not a tweet(er).I don't want to be a twit. Hence a blogger.

    16. Who are they ??

    17. When the hand is shaking, when the eyes mistake RS for sulo, when pretty young things call you "uncle", do you have a choice ??
