A shot in the arm, anyone?

So I'm going to do another tag. Why? Because the post I'm trying to write is only half-way there and not likely to merit completion unless I'm struck with a wave of epiphanies.


Also, the emptiness in my life that The Wander Years has helped fill in the last couple of years is beginning to find its way up my spine again. And I'm not about to let that happen.

So on that note, this one's for Pallavi -

I don't eat plants

There are somethings I refuse to think about, let alone do

Name all the different cities/towns you have lived in:
New Delhi, Bangalore

Favourite sports to watch:
Test cricket, F1

One nice thing about the person who sent this to you:
Pallavi - One of the very few women who'd pick Uncle Jack over a Strawberry Martini

What’s under your bed?
Nothing, I hope

Would you like to be born as yourself again?
I wouldn't have it any other way

Both, actually

There was a crowd. And electronic music.
The girls were stunning, but her smile.

Her smile.

There was intent. And stars in the sky.
The whisky was potent, but her eyes.

Her eyes.

There was depth. And a pool to jump into.
The dress was brave, but her innocence.

Her innocence.

There was a man. And a worthy one at that.
The absence of chance, but hope.

Hope.

There was a sign. And an idea that wanted to try.
The desire to love again, but fear.

Fear.

Rantravereflect added:

There was a connection. And a magic potion that emptied itself into us.
The frenzied bloodiness gushing, but her misplaced sanity.

Sanity.

There was the unison. And fire and fiery passion.
The love was impreganble, but so was her betrayal.

Betrayal.

There used to be another man. And maybe he was worthier than me.
The earth shook a little, but her stablity.

Stability.

There was a wedding. And beautiful bridesmaids and confetti.
The look of nervousness, but her faith.

Faith.
