fun, just me, tag

So I suddenly started jumping with joy this morning when I saw a long standing tag from hitchy called “Flashback” wohoo it takes of F, happy day it is

Its simple answers these questions and tag ahead

1. What did you do in 2012 that you’d never done before?

I have made a recipe video this year, something that I never imagined I will do till a while ago, I am a very video camera shy person primarily because I hate my own voice… But I did it, I did make a video for LiveMint. Here is the video for those who want to see 

2. Did you keep your new years resolutions, and will you make more for next?

Sigh some yes some no… most years I end of not following them fully but I still keep making them, I think it gives me a structure that my life is otherwise missing

3. What date from 2012 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

Gaah really? I didn’t think my memory is so bad… Don’t remember the date but it was  a day I spent with some of my favorite GF’s … went to spa, had good lunch and did some shopping. One reason I was meeting one of them after a very long time and another reason is a more personal one. Overcome something I had been struggling with

4. What was your biggest achievement of the year?

Sin-A-Mon

5. What was your biggest failure?

Temper Temper Temper ..

6. Did you suffer illness?

Yes but frankly its been a better year than last so I am not complaining

7. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?

The moral policing folks specially that lady scientist who said the Delhi gang rape girl should have given in 😦

8. Where did most of your money go?

Wish I knew 😉

9. What did you get really, really, really excited about?

A consulting project I am doing currently, details to be up sometime soon

10. What song will always remind you of 2012?

This girl is on Fire 😉 N tells me that is how I am behaved last year

11. Compared to this time last year, are you happier or sadder?

Happier…

12. What do you wish you’d done more of?

Workouts… every year fitness is on top of my list and every year I fail 😦 and also travel but that I guess how much ever I do it will be less for me

13. What do you wish you’d done less of?

If you ask my husband he will tell you FB for sure *giggle*

14. Did you fall in love in 2012?

yes fall in love with myself all over again 😉

15. What/Who was your greatest musical discovery?

Sigh its been an year where I have not made any discovery, unfortunately there hasn’t been much time for music… Pity I say

16. What did you want and get?

Its been a good touchwood, got many things I desired for that year

17. What did you want and not get?

I missed the South Africa trip with friends, such a bummer and I was so looking forward to it

18. What was your favorite film of this year?

Why am I blanking out here? what were the movies that came last year…

19. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?

On my birthday, I baked a tart for myself and Julia Child, went with O to Lal bagh and had a yummy lunch date with him and then went out for a dinner with friends… Yes N doesn’t figure here because well he was traveling and how old well did no one tell you not to ask a woman her age 😉 but I will still tell 36 is the number

20. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?

If I had finished that book… the book that I want to write

21. What kept you sane?

Baking and O

22. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2012.

That everything is hard work and that being your own boss is tougher much tougher than one thinks

23. Which new places did you visit in 2012?

Ahemdabad, Bharuch and these two only in transit… apart from that Karwar, Waynad and Sikkim , I wish this list was longer though

24. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don’t give up the fight!

Preacher man, don’t tell me,
Heaven is under the earth.
I know you don’t know
What life is really worth.
It’s not all that glitters is gold;
‘Alf the story has never been told:
So now you see the light, eh!
Stand up for your rights. come on!

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don’t give up the fight!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don’t give up the fight!

25. Tag some bloggers you would love to read these answers from.
