Every blogger out there has that one
eternal wish – to know that they are not rambling to themselves in this vast
internet blog space. Pageviews and likes can only take you so far. It is all
about comments and reader’s engagement. If a post elicits someone else to
express a counter view it has done its primary job.
So today I am going to initiate and partake
in a ‘fun’ activity with all you readers. I am putting up 13 questions and my
answers for the same. You guys can choose the ones which appeal to you and
answer the same. The answers need not be long – let’s have some fun with this!
1) Coffee or tea?
The classic way to
segregate people. Espresso or earl grey? Filter Kaapi or Chaai? Caffeine
fuelled mornings or Tea enabled evenings? Well my answer is * Drum roll * Coffee! No surprises there for people who already
know me. You can take the girl from kaapi but not kaapi out of the girl ( did I
say that saying right? I always mess it up!) But I have recently started
obsessing over the milder teas too.
2) Cats or Dogs?
Another question which divides
people across borders. Doggo or grumpy cat? Scooby Doo or Smelly Cat? Puppy or
kittie? I am a dog person. I don’t really have a choice in this matter. If I
think otherwise, my Laika will disown me :P
3)
Game
of thrones or Breaking Bad?
For
reasons I cannot fathom , the world seems to pit a historical fantasy against a
crime drama. For reasons , I have already stated -> here I do not get Breaking Bad. The
broader tapestry and more twisty turvy Westeros captures my imagination. And my
House in GoT : Lannisters. Hear us Roar! I love Cersei Lannister and Jaime
Lannister. Not together. As individual characters :P
4)
TV
shows or Movies? That is one Vague ass question. Who comes up with these? (
Ok I do. ) I personally prefer character development over the plot itself and
that is why I love TV shows over Movies. 2 hours is too less a time to leave a
mark on my soul. That’s my opinion
5)
Marvel
or DC?
6)
Classics
or Thrillers? There seem to be two types of readers – those who like their
Dickens and those who like their Archers. While I like to read everything , I
prefer courtroom dramas and investigative thrillers and modern drama over the
more slow paced yet lovely classics. It feels like blasphemy to say this out
loud
7)
Kamal
or Rajini?
8)
Ilayaraja
or A R Rahman?
9)
Dhoni
or Kohli?
10)
Morning
or night person? I am a night owl. It gives you tranquility and space to
think. No tick tock.
11)
Poetry
or Prose? Right now in this point in my life , I want to flow like poetry
rather than end up like prose.
12)
Saturday
or Sunday? Saturdays are overrated. Sundays I vote! Laziness > partying
13)
Was
this Fun or not? I weirdly found this fun. ( Maybe because I created this
game :P I guess I’ll know the answer with the corresponding response to the
post)
So
that’s all my friends! Share your answers in the comments below. Let’s get to
know each other!
How do I play?

I agree with the dc universe part, but don't you feel that the quality of the content of these shows have come down drastically as seasons progressed?
ReplyDeleteThat's the case with most shows. But there is an upswing in Arrow quality this year. Supergirl is better than before . LOT was far better this season. Flash became too serious but I liked the plotlines they tried

4. Neither, Theater! But among them, movies.
5. Marvel any day!
6. Again, depends!
7. Kamal!!

9. Dhoni.
10. Wannabe morning night owl.
11. Prose.
12. Saturday!!
13. It was! :D
1.Coffee

11.My life is so poetic that I only get time for prose
12.Sunday( love the Sunday brunch at home)
13.Yes (I have literally no work this summer)
1)Coffee on morning and green tea during evenings.thats been my routine for many years now.
ReplyDelete2)am good with friendly dogs and never had i ever met a domestic cat
3)i'm more of a "person of interest " type of guy but watching both these shows, bb is
an awesome show for understanding human behaviour changes to different situations of moral and emotion conflicts. GoT was never my thing, just guilt pleasure,maybe?
4)as you said its very tricky, tv is becoming more an more desirable for me, but still there are people like nolan,fincher,torantino and the great hitchcock himself make me crave for aesthetics and finesse
5)i am a avid combic book reader and let me tell you only tgese newbies and wannabe fans take sides. The mature ones learns to appreciation the writer s' talent from both sides.
6)i like to try everything as well. I like both dumas as well as sheldon, but i just love to bask in the warmth of percy jackson and captain underpants.
7)Thalaivar head on!!! But my reaspect for Aandavar is unparalleled.
8) it's serious like comparing apples to oranges. They both are awesome and no way can i choose just one here.
9)not much of a cricket fan, but coming from chenbai, I guess the craze and love for him comes as a default setting.
10)never thought of that actually, but guess i have become a night owl after my wave of arrear papers i guess 😜.
11)prose.
12)friday nights.😁😁
13)kinda frustrating, given that i like get into the details, but yeah, it was refreshing 👍
1. Coffee
ReplyDelete2. Dogs
3. Haven't watched either.
4. Movies
5. DC
6. Thrillers
7. Rajini
8. Both
9. Dhoni
10. Morning
11. Poetry
12. Sunday
13. Yes, it was! Thank you :)
1. coffee no contest there. But if it's roadside tea or tea from anywhere in Kerala, then sorry filter kaapi, you lose.
ReplyDelete2. Dogs. You've met Meherina and Bryan. They won't be pleased if I pick another species and call it better.
3. Game of thrones, simply because I've never watched breaking bad. Yes, we exist :P
4 movies because they don't warrant a commitment. The thing with TV shows is that once you start, whether you like it or not and irrespective of whether you have time, you find yourself hopelessly hooked. Movies just need 3 hours tops after which you choose fresh content. Easier to pick if someone placed a gun to your head and asked. Also, for something to leave an impression, it's not the duration that counts but the impact.
5. DC. I like how dark and two shaded every character is. Also, big batman fan and Christopher reeve was childhood crush. So little biased. Marvel is good but the underdogs are always more interesting. I salivate when both brands have stuff coming up.
6. I like romance. But thrillers are amazing to read. Can't pick really. It's been a while since I touched a book honestly. But I think, thrillers require more skill to write.
7. Rajini. Don't ask why. Kamal is good but rajini. Padaiyappa, kabali, muthu. ❤️
8. Rahman. Just CANNOT relate to ilaiyarajas music. I like rahman's confluence of styles. I like his bgms. I find myself liking the soul of his music rather than the flamboyance of raja. Just cannot associate with him. Guess it's a generation thing. Grew up on rahman.
9. Don't mind both at this point. Kohli, because he is not diplomatic. He's raw and brash. Plus I love how vocal he is about his love and admiration for Anushka. It takes a man to be proud of his girl and not keep her in the wraps. Talent needs no discussion.
10. Picking night now because that's the only time I'm properly awake. But even otherwise I think 12-3am is my favourite time of the day. The roads are empty. shorelines echo only the sound of waves and not crying babas or cackling kili joshiyam aunties. Cool wind, no pollution, silence. It's lovely to see Chennai sleeping.
11. Prose. Poetry is like that once in a month fancy meal for me. Just not too big on it but love some quality stuff from time to time. Suggest some poets if you can.
12. Saturday. Sunday is always spent counting down to a Monday. But Saturday brings hope of a holiday and bidding farewell to the lousy week gone by. Sundays in today's world and in my profession, extremely overrated.
13. This was really fun. :) Give more questions babe.

ReplyDelete2) Dogs! Duh.
3) Game of Thrones. Never seen Breaking Bad.
4) TV Shows. 90% of the time, when making a movie, they tend to remove a lot of content cos of budgetary, timing and weird ass restrictions. (See HP 5 and PJO 1 & 2). So, TV Shows are a better bet any day.
5) DC. Flash, and Wonderwoman. All we're saying.
6) Classics.
7) Rajini! Duh.
8) ARR
9) Both?
10) Depends on when I go to sleep :P If I wake up well before I have to, then morning. If Im dragged out of the bed kicking and screaming, then night.
11) Prose, but started leaning into the whole poetry scene recently.
12) Saturday! Cos then you have Sunday to look forward to, instead of Monday, on Sunday. Less mental Trauma. :P
13) Eh. :P Its all good
