A

A tag that has been doing the rounds is that of listing down the things that define a particular alphabet for a person. Dharmabum gave me the letter "A" to play with! I finally got cracking on my list. Here goes!

Aeroplanes – I love them; maybe because they have the ability to help me travel to far flung places. Unfortunately, I’ve been on one only once, that too with a heavy and painful cast on my arm. I hope to rectify this grave injustice :-D in, and from, the following months!

Art – Art in various forms, appeals to me. From sketching and painting, to writing and dancing; I dabble a lot in some, some, I observe!

Aromas – Myriad aromas excite me; the smell of freshly watered earth, certain flowers, nail paint, new books, freshly disinfected hospital corridors (strange, but I do like them!), and many more that aren’t coming to my mind right now!

Alps/Arctic/Antarctica – Snow/ice is mystic for me. These places rank high on my "to visit" list.

Alarm pieces – Not that I ever need an alarm clock of any kind, the stickler for punctuality that I am, but for want of the letter “p” for “punctuality”, or “t” for “time”, “a” for “alarm pieces” it is!

Assortments – I adore assortments; assortments of beads, chocolates, candies, games, pebbles; you get the drift!

Anastasia – Nope, not the Grand Duchess, nor the singer. The name is what sounds immensely musical to me. Anastasia means “she who shall rise up again”, and that, again, is beautiful!

Arrows – When I was a kid, I used to fashion bows and arrows out of broomsticks. Not that I make them anymore, but the fascination for arrows, bows and quivers, strangely enough, never left me!

Applause – I like the sound of loud, ringing, genuine applause. When, for me, it’s a cementing of the fact that I’ve done a job well; and when I applaud someone else, it’s a confirmation of the fact that I’ve enjoyed being at the receiving end of the task that she/he has done so well!!!

Aches – My aching body, after a good workout (translates to some sets of exercises, in my case!), sure feels bitterly sweet! I can almost feel the calories drain away at such moments!

P.S. If any of you feel like creating a similar list, I'll be only glad to choose a letter for you!
