Amsterdam, Baby!
Akin to what Joey said:
It's all Amsterdam, baby! Here we go!
This weekend being the long weekend that it is, what better place to jet set off to than the Venice of the North, eh!?!
Yayyyy!

Having been tagged to reveal 25 random facts about myself, here's some randomness!
1. I am a stickler for punctuality. I hate being kept waiting because of someone being late; I equally hate being late myself.
2. I’m a staunch Calcuttan. I love Calcutta to death. Nope, can’t hear a word against it. I’m impractical, illogical and completely unreasonable when it comes to anyone hurling the least invective at my city or its offshoots (Kolkata Knight Riders being a case in point).
3. I used to draw and paint an awful lot; don’t do even a tenth as much now. I have to, have to, and just have to get back to it in full flow again.
4. Books are my life blood.
5. I’m impatient about most things, and if I have to wait for something, it consumes my whole being.
6. I love dancing. I hope to learn many different forms of it.
7. I’m easily bored. I have a need to be continuously doing something.
8. I hope to visit all the places in this world, including the far-flung, dangerous, eeriest, hottest, coldest ones.
9. The number of people I genuinely like is quite small.
10. In Europe, everyone seems to love the sun. I don’t! I don’t like sitting in the sun! I’ll sit outside, but give me the chair in the shade please!
11. I never want to lose touch with any of my good friends. Some are very dear to me. I’m good at keeping in touch *knock on wood*!
12. I love backpacks in red and orange.
13. I don’t drink tea/coffee. I rarely ever drink them. Maybe, once a year or so.
14. I like doing many things at the same time (not necessarily at the very same moment). It gives me a sense of accomplishment.
15. I hope to write a bestseller some day. I love writing; I just need to garner the patience I need for it!
16. I am very loud. Whispering is almost alien to me.
17. I regret not having learnt a musical instrument yet. I will learn the piano; I will, I will, I will. Throw in a guitar too.
18. I’m very nearly a feminist (in the original, unadulterated sense of the word).
19. Many of my instincts have come true. I feel psychic and clairvoyant quite often.
20. I miss Indo-Chinese food; way more than I expected to!
21. I like long flights, but hate long bus journeys.
22. I need a dog, to call my own.
23. I would have loved to be a twin. I’ll settle for having twins.
24. I don’t like my full first name. I prefer the shortened version. I love most modified versions of it, which my friends use.
25. I don’t want to live too long. I’d like a full life, rather than a long one.
Thanks for the tag, Ani. I had fun doing it.
