Who am I kidding? Let&#8217;s face it, I totally wanted to rant. Yeah, that&#8217;s what my blog space is for &#8211; ranting!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h4>A few things you should know about me:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Punctuality is my best friend.<\/li>\n<li>The Husband is my one and only love. Ever.<\/li>\n<li>I do or sacrifice anything in the name of love, family and friendship.<\/li>\n<li>I am a proud <a href=\"http:\/\/kirantarun.com\/blog\/?s=nasa\" target=\"_blank\">space nerd<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>I absolutely have a huge tooth, especially for ice creams. I love ice creams so much that I can&#8217;t tell the difference between a fro-yo and ice cream. Doesn&#8217;t matter to me.<\/li>\n<li>I love encouraging others.<\/li>\n<li>The Husband instilled in me, my love for <a href=\"http:\/\/kirantarun.com\/blog\/2010\/04\/28\/shoemania\/\" target=\"_blank\">shoes<\/a> and handbags. Believe it.<\/li>\n<li>I am the real Chatterbox in my family, with the loudest mouth ever. And I am funny. To them at least \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n<li>Have I said how much I love indulging in a bowl of <a href=\"http:\/\/kirantarun.com\/food\/2011\/09\/15\/breakfast-galore\/\" target=\"_blank\">hot oatmeal<\/a> topped with yummiest of <a href=\"http:\/\/kirantarun.com\/food\/2011\/04\/19\/cashew-nut-butter\/\" target=\"_blank\">nut butter<\/a>?<\/li>\n<li>Unbelievable for some (the Husband included), but I love action\/adventure movies more than sob-fest drama or love stories.<\/li>\n<li>I am a huge DIE HARD movie fan. I mean, HUGE.<\/li>\n<li>Can&#8217;t switch channels whenever TOM &amp; JERRY is on. Don&#8217;t judge.<\/li>\n<li>FRIENDS. Sigh. I can&#8217;t get enough of it. Even the reruns.<\/li>\n<li>I despise reading horoscopes.<\/li>\n<li>My dream of someday owning a property in New York City.<\/li>\n<li>I hate flying. It&#8217;s always a <a href=\"http:\/\/kirantarun.com\/blog\/2009\/09\/15\/travelogue-part-4-india\/\" target=\"_blank\">painful<\/a> experience!<\/li>\n<li>I strongly believe in Feng-shui &amp; chinese medicinal treatments.<\/li>\n<li>I do believe in hating number 4 &amp; 13.<\/li>\n<li>I take photos of food all the time. It can be\u00a0embarrassing\u00a0if you are not familiar with food blogging\/photography.<\/li>\n<li>I often add up numbers to avoid totaling 4. Including our home address.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Pet Peeves<\/h4>\n<div>\n<p>This is in no order of preference what-so-ever.
