The Tag from Beks

I don't have a middle name. But my godmother's name is Mariamma (which is the Malayalee version of Mary) and that's what my dad says would have been my middle name had he so chosen. I so want to have children. Consider the absolute power you have over their lives (well, atleast till their 7 or so). Anyhoo, here are the rules for Beks' tag.

Rule 1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
Rule 2 You must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.
Rule 3. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

So:

M - Obviously, Marriage because I am super obsessed with it this year. So much so that oldbossman and other friends gotten themselves ordained online so that they can marry the boy and I at the drop of the hat, if ever they run across the two of us together. I think though, work and associated travel has made me less of obssesso about it recently. But only slightly. Which is why the boy has imposed total and absolute ban on talks of marriage till November, which makes me all spluttery and gag with displeasure.

A -
??
A?
Uhm...
Aggressive?
I think i am. Aggressive. I mean. You know that show Top Chef, and chef Hung, who always seems to cut in front and put himself forth before any one else. I LOVE him. Because I am (blush) like that.
I mean, not all the time. But heck, if it is competition or a project I R-E-A-L-L-Y want or a job I am hankering over, I will bitch slap and throw down any who get in my way. Sometimes, depending on situation, I act coy about it but underneath it all, I am a scheming wench who's going - I WANT THAT!
In everything else though, I am generally kind of nice :D

R -
Reality - ???!!!

"Hey, Boy (I say on new phone), can you think of anything associated with me that starts with an R?"
Boy: Uhm...Risk taker?
"I am a risk taker?"
Boy: Yeah. An uncalculated risk taker? One of those heedless ones who jump without making sure the bungee ropes are tied.

I don't completely agree. So I am going with a Readymade Life.
Because that's what I want.
M.L., the always venerable one, told me the other day that I am hankering after the creature comforts that my parents have.
And it's true.
I want to skip over struggles and scrimpings and go straight to the loft life involving tons of travel.
But am learning, steadily, to deal with Reality.

Y - Year, as in, i wish this year of living away from boy would end.

Ta-Da!

And so I tag:

M - Meerkat, who is the kindest, nicest, most gentle soul I know.

A - A very lovely Siggle (cheating I know :)), who's touring the India of her heritage and having all sorts of cultural connection experience.

R - Rayz, and by that I mean the sunRayz, who has come back after a hiatus

Y - Y, of course, the lovely and most wise Sayre, who always knows the right thing and has the best advice
