| My family thinks | that I look a Little Lotta in `Ruk Ruk'. |
| I'm fondly called | Taby, Tubs, Tabs, Tubba, Tabloid, Tobler,
Tablet, Tabsy, Tobasco. |
| I'm scared of | the sight of blood. That is one reason I
didn't take up the medical profession. |
| I'm depressed about | Kashmir. It used to be my favourite
place in the country. |
| I love | the smell of old books. I enjoy reading the tales
of Tin Tin and books by Enid Blyton during the summer
holidays. |
| First childhood memory | is of the health food Cerelac. |
| What angers me most | When a woman walks in and a man or men
keep sitting in their chairs. It is very sad, but the
guys who do not respect women are not worth looking up to. |
| Music | for me, is a vitamin. |
| Infatuations | Ravi Shastri and Cricket. |
| Philosophy in life | This too shall pass. |
| I cringe | at wake up calls, glycerine, exercise, lizards,
boring speeches, late nights, and show offs. Not
necessarily in that order. |
| Fresh face award - 1994 | made me feel special. I felt
proud, beautiful and powerful. |
| Finicky about | the fabric for my clothes, having fruits,
things being in their proper places in my room and cupboard,
my bathroom and anyone else using my hairbrush. |
| Relationships are | meant to be deep, strong, supportive and
everlasting. But few of them are for keeps. |
| What turns me on | Armani. |
| In a day | I accomplish more than I can cope up with...
sweat, eat, workout, make calls, watch television, gossip,
cry and laugh. |
| Women's lib is | not being taken seriously. It's more a
slogan than anything else, but I guess it's a personal issue
and varies from person to person and also from home to home. |
| Bombay is | my home now. It's my office too. |
| Life is | travel. I love to travel, see new places, meet all
kinds of people. That's the time you realise there's so much
than just what you are living in... there is so much to
learn. |
| I cannot | lie. I get caught easily. |
| I'm proud of | my middle class upbringing. There are
precious values I've been brought up with as well as habits
like eating only in plates made of steel. |
