I was trawling through blogs of my friends’ friends (God, I must be having all the time in the world or what??!) when I came across a mention of a meme. Intrigued, I looked up the word on http://dictionary.reference.com. It said “ meme –noun a cultural item that is transmitted by repetition in a manner analogous to the biological transmission of genes”.
Interesting. Well, it involved requesting for a random letter from which you make a list of the five things that are your favorites (commencing from the letter of course!) I requested <div class="ljuser">shrads_m</div> and she graciously gave me the letter ‘H’, so here I am!

1) Here I am: The song by Bryan Adams which was the OST of the movie ‘Spirit - The Stallion of Cimarron’. I loved the movie and loved the song. I listen to it whenever I need a pep up.
2) Holmes, Sherlock: The super-observant super detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. As a kid, I was so impressed by his adventures that I even wanted to become a private-eye someday!
3) Hardy Boys: The other crime-solvers that I was crazy about. It was the Hardy Boys books that got me hooked to reading novels. I used to read them cover to cover and as many as two a day during my holidays, borrowed from the public library. Since then, reading has always been a favorite pastime.
4) Harate - Kannada expression meaning banter and gupshup. A pastime as dear as reading. When alone, it is reading and when I have company, it’s Harate aka yakking away to glory!
5) Humongous: One of my favorite adjectives. Big is never big enough, until it’s humongous. Whether it’s to describe the appetite of my friends when I take them out on a treat or the size of Rakhi Sawant’s … um, ego, ‘Humongous’ is the word!
Many thanks to Shrads for passing on this meme to me. If anybody’s interested to play this game, here’s the deal:
