Finally doing this from when @lostamongthefearnes tagged me 😅
1. What's your blog title from?
Its an apt descriptor for how clueless I am all the time
2. Latest movie? What did you think?
The last movie I started was Devdas (because apparently it’s a crime to not have watched it 🙄) but the last move I watched in full was The Odyssey which was pretty decent.
3. What are you looking forward to right now?
Two weeks of not being home lol. But also all my friends will be back on campus in a month and I’m looking forward to that.
4. If you could do anything at all today, what would it be?
Go to the protest at Jantar Mantar.
Coffee shop: mocha, its simple and sweet (like me 😊)
Bar: vodka shots or maybe a margarita (recently found out I liked them)
Usually? Water, I LOVE water, its like the thing gives me life or something
Wash every other day, leave in conditioner, hair dryer, and sometimes serum.
7. Favourite way to travel? Is there another you want to try?
I love metros and trains! Watching out of the window with some music on is always good. I’ve never done one of those days long sea journeys, and I have loved being on a boat every time, so probably that.
8. Favourite month and why?
I love july, always reminds me of buying stationary for a new academic year.
9. Favourite time of day and why?
At home its post 10 pm and at uni its before 9:30 am (I usually wake up at 7:30)- both because nobody is awake to bother me, I like having my quiet time.
10. Do you play or follow any sports?
Right now, I like to run and boxing is pretty fun, I miss playing tennis and basketball.
I don’t usually follow any sports, but I will watch every India vs Pakistan cricket match, tis a curse placed upon birth when born on this land. And if India is in the finals I’ll probably watch that match too. Otherwise I mostly follow it through google notifs.
11. What kind of music has been stuck in your head lately?
A lot of the Beatles and boygenius.
Laundry all day any day (mostly cause I don’t have to do it often heh), I hate how wrinkly my hands get from washing dishes.
13. Something you learned recently?
Just came out of a wonderful lecture on how subjectivity can be found everywhere (it's a foundational mathematics course so it was a nice change of pace)
14. What would you talk about if you could give a TED talk on anything?
Sapphic characters in media and fandom responses (specifically anchored towards the dead/evil lesbian trope or what we now refer to as doomed yuri). Seriously, I wrote a paper on it and everything.
15. Piece of advice you find yourself giving a lot?
It'll be okay, and if not, at least we have thursday coming up.
16. Piece of advice you would give yourself five years ago?
Actually all that time engaging with fandoms and television shows is useful later on, but also perhaps read the newspaper a bit more often? ALSO do not go to her house, you'll regret it.
17. Do you believe in luck and superstition? Do you carry any lucky items or follow any lucky rules?
The lot of life is all based on luck in a way isn't it? yeah you can skew the terms in your favour by doing certain things, but its just a random draw at the end of the day.
I usually wear a nazaariya (a bracelet to ward off evil intentions), and have some other silly superstitions, like a certain watching or not watching a match (even through a tv) can affect it.
18. Are you musical (play any instruments, sing)? Would you ever perform for an audience?
I used to play the guitar, I mean I still could if someone handed me one, but unfortunately I lost my guitar somewhere between my 8th and 9th time shifting houses. I have performed before (old age home and school assemblies) and I hated it everytime, never again if I can help it.
I love singing! though only with my friends or when I'm alone.
19. Write, type or speak?
Depends really, I love writing down my thoughts, and it remains to be one of the most effective methods for note taking for me. I prefer to type formal things, wastes less paper when I need to re-write parts. I love speaking, would take calls over texts anyday. Plus I sound way smarter when I talk compared to what I write.
20. What do you wish someone would ask you?
Lowkey anything, but I particularly love it when people ask me about my works (artworks, fan fiction, academic writing)!
no idea who's been tagged already but I would love to know the answers to these questions from @templecat , @bleedingxglory , @scout-spaenyand , and @blueeyesshyskies
