I remember seeing this tag on someone’s blog and thinking of taking it up and then completely forgetting about it.

14. What’s a word that you say a lot?
“Holy crap!” OK. That’s two words.

15. Who told you he/she loved you last?(please exclude spouse , family, children)

This is a funny story. It was our final year in engineering college and as a part of the curriculum we were supposed to do a project with a real world IT company on real world problems. A  day before we technically finished it  our Project Guide from the company called up and professed his love for me. I was completely shocked because I didn’t see it coming at all( I mean we girls do get a sense when someone is sweet on us right?) I was seeing my husband at that time and told him so. He said that he had expected something like that but  still wanted to let me know his feelings and doesn’t expect anything in return. I was free to not speak with him again if I felt uncomfortable doing so. We still had to interact for a few days after that and I was amazed at how he maintained such an awesome composure. Although we girls did make a lot of fun of this incident (with mirth only college going girls are capable of) I still admire how unselfconsciously he told me what he felt and how well he conducted himself after that. Admirable for a guy who must have not been more than one or two years older than us. Wow, digression or what.
