At the start of the year, I made a resolution that I would post at least two Friday Five's in a month. I was too lazy to think of questions, some of them were repetitive as crabbycool pointed out and I didn't expect most of you to answer them as they would certainly lose the charm if they were so frequent

1. No.
2. Since everybody's saying Enid Blyton, I'll go with Yuri Druzhkov's surrealistic The Adventures of Pencil and Screwbolt. Can't find a copy now, unfortunately.
3. Richard Dawkins.
4. Eat lunch.
5. Royal Enfield.

1. Yes. But I'm not gonna tell on a public post!

2. The Famous Five in Fancy Dress. :p Yeah I wouldn't mind giving that another whirl if noone's looking.

3. Ah, but then I can gloat that I've met Vikram, remember? *grins* Salman Rushdie for me. Best Writer Alive. (if dead folk count, I'd like to meet Wodehouse)

4. Get out of office and hang with friends by the seaside.

5. Apple. Levi's. Nike. Dayumm I'm the copybook US-led consumer. *sobs*

Hmm, if naming Amar Chitra Kathas as a whole counts, then the same for me :-)

not yet

2. Name a book that you loved to read as a child? Would you still read it now?
so many! But I always quite liked The BFG by Roald Dahl and yes, it's still funny to read even today. Also, I used to read any poetry book by Shel Silverstein like "where the sidewalk ends" over and over

3. I met the author Gregory David Roberts! Which of your favourite author would you like to meet? (Yes, I am going to be gloating about the fact that I met him!)
I'm a book nut, and I'm sure there are a lot of different authors I'd like to meet, but right now JK Rowling is at the top of my list. I LOVE the Harry Potter books

4. What is it that you want to do right now?
Go on vacation, take a break from work. It's been at least a good 10+ years that I've actually gone on a actual vacation for fun! *sigh*

5. Which brand do you swear by and why? Give us the url so that we can browse too!
I'm addicted to Urban Decay cosmetics, especially the eye shadow: ... )
