Priyadarshini Unplugged.......

I’ll tell you a little (actually a lot) about me…..

I’m Priyadarshini

My pet name’s Rai

I’m just 18

My Birthday’s on the 19^th of November

I’m a Scorpion (Beware!)

I speak English, Bengalee, Hindi (li’l problems with it though) & plan to learn a new language maybe Urdu. My speech is punctuated with a host of acuallys, u knows, definitelys, exactlys and ofcourses !

I’m single

I believe in God, spiritual but not religious

I don’t like pets

I love gadgets , gizmos and mountains !

Strength – My very own self

Weakness – I’m a little impatient

Favourite one liner – “An Idea Can Change Your Life !”

About me …

Electrons exhibit dual nature and so do I.

Believe me I’m a juxtaposition of contraries.

I love mobiles and mountains.

I’ve read One night @ the call centre and also parts of the Atharva Veda.

I am cyber-savvy as well as a nature lover…..

The bottom line is I’m utterly confused.

I talk loads with few people, formally with some and nothing to others. Actually whatever I talk about seems crazy to some people and drab boring to others, few of them take interest and they are my buddies ! I love to be lonely, lost in my own world of virtual reality ! With working parents and no sibling around, I’ve got ample scope to be alone !

Schooling …

I used to be in a school called St. Agnes’ Convent till X, then shifted over to Modern High School for Girls in XI & XII.

5 things I can’t live without …

Dreams

Music

Colours

Books

& my Parents who are the best in the world !

My Passions …

M-U-S-I-C !!!
I love listening to as well as singing all kinds of songs....someday I'll have a band of my own....Over the next four years of engineering I’ll learn to play the guitar !
P-A-I-N-T-I-N-G !!!
Especially Female figurines...
R-E-A-D-I-N-G 'n' P-E-N-I-N-G things down ...
T-H-I-N-K-I-N-G 'n' R-E-F-L-E-C-T-I-N-G .....!

Sports …

Apart from cricket I like tennis. Rafael Nadal and Maria Sharapova are the ones I shout for. I love David Beckham but definitely for reasons greater than just football !

Activities …

I have been into co as well as extra curricular activities – quizzing, public speaking as in debates, extempores and elocutions, creative writing, one act plays, content writing etc. I love the attention, I was an apple of an eye for all my teachers.

Books …

I love reading books, without them my life is incomplete. I’ve read a whole library by now ! In junior school I finished reading almost all the ‘Nancy Drew’s that our school library had. After that it has been Harry Potters, Chetan Bhagats, Jhumpa Lahiris, Sidney Sheldons, Satyajit Roys, Eric Segals, Dan Browns etc. Reading has taken a back seat with the exams commencing but will resume soon after everything is settled.

What kind of music I like? …

E-N-R-I-Q-U-E Iglesias is my all time favourite !....But Celene Dion, Mariah Carey, BSB, Westlife, Blue, Ronan Keating, Sean Paul,Rihana, Fergie..........All kinds ! And of course the Man who personifies music........A.R.Rahman !!!!! I also love fusion music from Rahul Sharma and the band called APOCALYPTICA.

On the television …

I don’t watch a lot of T.V.,except for cricket . But if I do I go for F.R.I.E.N.D.S, OC, Drake and Josh, Crocodile Hunter Diaries (I love Steve Irwin), Indeah and Ganges that come on NatGeo.

My list of favourite movies …

Pearl Harbour, Jerry Maguire, Pretty Woman, Constant Gardener, Maid in Manhattan, Shall we Dance, Up Close and Personal, If Only, First Daughter, Honey I shrunk the kids, See Spot Run, Uptown Girls, You've got mail, Wimbledon, The Lake House etc etc !! Definitely Rang de Basanti, Roza, Macchis, Sarfarosh, Lagaan, Iqbal & Swades ! And also Satyajit Roy movies in Bengalee. I’m not a keen movie watcher, these are almost all the movies that I’ve seen so far !

Cuisines …

I’m a foody, I love all kinds of Kolkata street food, Chinese and some special bengalee dishes made by my mum, my mum’s great in her culinary skills.

Clothes …

I’m not too conscious of what I wear, anything that I can carry off well. Its jeans and tops most of the time. But I do believe bengalee ladies look great in a saree….

Travelling …

I love going for vacations, I’ve been to many places specially in the Himalayas. I’m crazy about the mountains. I feel a strange oneness with the mountains. Never been beyond India, our country in itself is so beautiful, why go else where for vacations?

Assets …

Me, My computer & my 7 Harry Potters ! I’m very poor because I haven’t earned a penny myself as yet except prize money in contests but I couldn’t have been richer because I’ve got the best mum and dad in the world !

Wishlist …

Lots actually. I keep to myself, but if they are realized I’ll definitely tell you.
