Having read Roswitha's blog about the romaanz tag which was doing the round, i was hoping I had escaped the tag menace. But having been tagged by Kate, i shall actually go on to describe the 8 qualities of my perfect(yet imaginary) lover.

Eight qualities of the perfect louver(louvely dove as they would say in Kannada slang)..

1. Must be a nice girl. That seems so goddamn trite it isn't funny. but then must be able to deal with venting and insecurities which will be brought up constantly. Must also not take away the TV remote when the sports channel is on. Nice like that, no!!

2. She must be passionate about some kind of music. Any kind as long as it's not the stupid pop variety. Must also be able to recognise chamiya hindi numbers and must have seen Andaz Apna Apna atleast once!

3. Must be able to take jokes about her appearance. Anyway, commenting(funnily) on a woman's appearance is akin to playing tag with a piranha blindfolded! I should know, the memory remains!

4.  Must have an independent taste in books also. It's not like she has to be Chomsky like but an intelligent conversation from time to time never hurt anyone.

5. Must be able to get along with extended family of mine. they usually congregate in large numbers, sit in a line and start yelling(interrupting) as they put it. By contrast I'm soft spoken when it comes to my family. Fancy that!!

6. Must not have freaked blonde hair absolutely. Fully, natural blonde hair is perfectly fine but i feel not too many people can carry off the freaked blonde look.

7. She must get right to the point and not go around in circles. I'm as perceptive as a rock turtle. If something is bothering you, get to the point. If you say you're alright, I'll believe you. I won't be challenging that. Plus the words, 'we have to talk' can be utilised only once, at the most twice a year

8. Must be infernally good looking with a Michelle Pfeiffer like sweetness(oh how i wish this could come true). Plus, must not be the type who cares too much about her appearance, make up blah blah.

Rules of the tag:

1. The tagged victim has to come up with 8 different points of their perfect lover.
2. You need to mention the sex of the target.
3. Tag 8 victims to join this game and leave a comment on their comments saying they've been tagged.
4. If tagged the 2nd time, there's no need to post again.

Apart from 2-3 people who read this blog, i'm in a quandary as to whom to tag. So i tag Fatty, Dittie, Pratty, Dubs, Arjun(if he's reading this) and Krish!
