What is inspiring you right now? – Lots and lots of books! I just finished re-reading Order of the Phoenix from Harry Potter series and Little Women. Such brilliant books with great messages for children..
What is a small joy you do not give yourself often enough? – Can’t think of any to be honest. I try to indulge in all my small joys, its the bigger ones like being able to visit my sister as often as I would like to, that I’m not able to give myself often enough 🙂
What do you need more of in your life? – Time! Time to visit family, time to travel, time to write and read, time to run..
What is something you buy that you always consider quality first? – Shoes and fresh produce like fruits and vegetables
When did you last cry? – Last night
What are you grateful for? – I’m grateful for a lot of things actually, almost everything that I have, my family, the fact that Im healthy, that I’m safe, a lot of things
What is your favorite season? – Summer in UK/cold countries and Winter in India!
What is your favorite smell? – The smell of wet earth right after the first rain
Woods or water? – This is a tricky one, because I like to be closer to water bodies like lakes or beaches/rivers/oceans, but I don’t know how to swim well, so I don’t like to be ‘in’ the water. But I have no problems being ‘in the woods’. But I wouldn’t want to live in the woods
What is your favorite word? – ‘Anyway‘ – this is the word I use a lot, but my favorite word, umm, I think it might be iridescent or inevitable.
Would you rather have a sandwich or a drink named after you? – A drink 😉
