About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

* Check out my budget travel resource site www.travelandy.com
* I hate to read ALL books that are in my course.* Jeans & T used to be my fav earlier. Now I'm in love with cargos & T!* My love for jeans has returned.* I love it when I'm alone at home because there's no one to bother me. But basically Im very social. I LOVE my friends!* If you suddenly enter my room when Im supposed to be studying, there's 80% chances that you'll catch me doing something else and in this 'something else', there's again 80% chances that I'm reading something that's not in my course!* I am planning to buy a black kurta and wear it with blue jeans.* I chucked the black kurta wala idea.* Everyone thinks I've got a very prominent nose!*I dream a lot...and i dream BIG!*I love to cook!*I hate hypocrites.*I DON'T wear sando-gangee under T-shirts!*I don't believe in conventions, especially those, behind which I can see no logic.*I seriously need to update this description but I'm too lazy to do it.
