The sheer awesomeness that is me. Or something like that.

Tagged by Asaan, this tag has been languishing for sometime in my drafts folder. It’s just that I feel a little awkward writing about my umm..aah..awesomeness. I didnt know whether to write about skills or qualities and so am just gonna write the first seven things that come to my mind.

1. I am a never-say-die person- So I’ll have my “poor me” phase and my “why me ” phase but at the same time I will be working hard and trying everything in my power to go after my goal. I am one helluva determined lady! This song or this one could be the anthem of my life.

2. I actually don’t know what it is to feel jealous- If I admire someones achievements or success, it makes me want to emulate them. I am really happy for my friends. Funnily enough, I discovered this fact when a random girl I went to college with one day had a breakdown over another classmates accomplishments. While she vented out her feelings I realized with shock that that’s what envy and jealousy is! Now when I look back I see instances where my Mom cultivated this positive and learning  attitude in me and my sister. This was a great gift because all around I see people unhappy not so much because they lack something but because they are busy coveting other people’s lives.I find that really sad.

3. I think I manage crisis very well-  Whether personal or professional, I think I can emotionally separate myself from the issue so as to be of better help and tide over the issue quickly. Once I’m through it, I allow myself to feel and then go through all the phases of emotionally dealing with it. Earlier I thought of this as just another trait of mine but after marrying into a highly emotional family and realizing how much they all bank on me in sensitive times, I started valuing it a little more.

4. I am a constant learner- When I was a kid , my father told me that the essence of life lies in constantly evolving and learning. Since then,  I try to increase my know ledge or skills everyday whether by a new book read, a new recipe tried or a new point of view seen. Like right now I am learning tennis, looking to make the best loaf of bread and trying to ace number theory.

5. I am not afraid of failure- I really am not. I may be saddened by it but never ever has that fear deterred me from at least trying. I guess I am more afraid of being 80 and realizing that I didn’t do half of the things I wanted to because I thought I wouldn’t succeed at them. This is one thing I really want to teach my son.

6. I have an open mind- I always try to see things from another persons point of view without derision or being condescending. I may not agree but I will make an honest attempt to understand the other person’s thought processes and where they are coming from. This makes it difficult to hate some people then!

7. I think I’m a decent cook – Nowhere near awesomeness but would definitely like to get there some time Plus, I really can’t think of anything else right now.
