10 things that I Love
1. I love my family the most.
2. I love God, even though he ditches me sometimes, but as they say; “Things happen for a reason.”
3. I love to gaze at the sky; clouds, flying birds, moon and stars.
4. I love silence around me. Noises give me headaches.
5. I absolutely love petrichor.
6. I love to write my heart out. I know I didn’t surprise you with this. I love my blog and you all.
7. I love vintage photographs, postcards; everything vintage to say precisely.
8. I love to gift hand-made cards.
9. I love to dance alone, in rain.
10. I love to read. You need to feed your brain time to time. Plus reading is escaping into a whole different world, which is definitely better than the one we live in.
I can list more, anyway…
10 things that I Hate
There are things that I dislike and not hate, but there certainly are few things that I absolutely hate. I know hating occupies space in your mind and we would never want that, but I hate certain things, just because I hate them.
1. I hate eve-teasing, any kind of harassment, and I would never tolerate it.
2. I hate when somebody’s nails have got dirt from all the corners of the world.
3. I hate raw ginger.
4. I hate when lizard forgets that floor is not where she should be crawling.
5. I hate to find that a pigeon shit on my clothe that was hung outside to dry.
6. I hate to chop onions.
7. I hate untidy books and stationary.
8. I loathe the smell of smoke.
9. I hate slugs. Eww!
10. I hate the fact that days are longer than nights.
That is it.
The Dragon’s Loyalty Award
The Dragon’s Loyalty Award is an award for the loyal fan/commenter, whether the recipient is a fellow blogger or just someone who follows and comments regularly.
I want to thank Himanshu, Erika, Himali and Charles for nominating me for my another Dragon’s Loyalty Award. I am so grateful to receive such love and appreciation from you. Thank you very much!
My Nominations for this Award:
Shambhavi
Darshith
Chris
Daniel
Annie
– Kritika Vashist
I always enjoy learning more about you. It adds to your dimensions as a poet and writer. Thank you so much for the Dragon Loyalty Award. It means a lot and is an honor especially because of my Asian background and western lineage. I identify very much with eastern and western folklore of the dragons. The eastern belief brings the Yin and Yang of balance represented in the dragons and western culture brings the representation of our struggle with light and darkness of the human experience. Thank you, Kritika. 🙂
