Era’s Questions for me :

1. Do you think your name is cute?
   I do not know if it is cute, but I love my name 🙂
   Nima Mohan – I keep my maiden name even after marriage 🙂
   
2. If you had a chance to name yourself, which name would you choose and why?
   I don’t know.
   But if at that point of time, If I know the epics or mythologies in India, I am sure to choose one from them 🙂
   
3. Do you have any hobbies other than writing
   I used to dance and have learnt a bit of Carnatic music ( Classical music). But not connected to them since I joined for job and now,
   I watch a lot of classical dance videos and listen to songs.
   
4. Be it books or movies, if given chance, which character’s life would you choose to live and why?
   I won’t choose any. I am happy the way I am :)
   
5. If you have a job now, are you happy with it? If you could change it now, which one would you choose?
   The only job I have now is called ” Motherhood” and I enjoy it.
   But it is not that I don’t get upset. of course I do and sometimes I lose my temper. But that is what all moms are like !!
   
6. Do you like to cook?
   I cook pretty well, but I take breaks too. If not in the mood, I do have the freedom to eat out or order food home ( Thanks to hubby for that 🙂 ). And if you have read my previous award posts, you know that my husband is an excellent cook. So am kind of lucky in that area 😀
   
7. Which is your Zodiac sign?
   CAPRICORN – which is the tenth in zodiac. Hence the blog name- thetenthzodiac 🙂 And I share it with you Era !!
   
8. Do you believe in predictions made for your zodiac sign?
   yes I do 🙂
   Not only in the predictions based on zodiac signs, but also in pure astrology based on horoscopes. Being born into a Hindu family, I have grown up listening to all those things. But I take care not to get too much involved too. I always leave it to God and I have immense faith in God 🙂
   
9. Are you, so far, proud, and satisfied with your blog’s progress?
   Yes I am .
   Something that I started just for the fun of knowing has turned into my passion now 🙂
   
10. What’s the most useless piece of knowledge you know?
    I dont know 🙂
    
11. Which is your favorite work from your blog? Leave a link so everyone can enjoy it.
    I have several of them. I had taken part in OctPoWriMo which is short for October Poetry Writing Month. This I discovered a soon as I started my blog, and I joined the challenge just to see how good I am . I wrote one poem for each day of the month and it can be under the header OctPoWriMo in my blog. But maybe because I did not read other blog posts or some other factor, I still have poems under that head that has not even one like. Though I was sad initially, as time moved on, I too did. All those poems were written with so much effort and dedication. So I f you please, I would request you all to go through at least some of the poems and let me know about them 🙂
