Otherwise…
Here’s an assortment of random, quirky and possibly useful facts or not, about me!
- I am the oldest of four.
- I am a tea drinker, favorites at the moment are English Breakfast, Chai, and Rooboos.
- Another beverage fact. I couldn’t stand the taste of tea until I stayed in India for 9 months when I was 24. Lots of sweet, milky boiling hot chai!!
- I’ve only thought of myself as a creative person in the last few years. At school I was the Science and Maths nerd!!
- My three kids don’t look like me. Their heritage is Australian and South Indian (from their Dad).
- I live in Perth, Western Australia and I love it here!
- I will never go gray! True!! As a red head, my hair just fades to a light auburn/ blondish colour over time. I know, lucky me! 🙂

- I have several saris in my closet and I know how to put one on. Where to wear them though?
- I love Jesus, from when I first came to know He loved me, at around 8 years old.
- I am a risk taker… Yet I feel uncomfortable with heights, fast speeds, big crowds, and lots of noise.
- Business ideas I tried out in my teens; a babysitting club, a circus (can’t believe we got the neighbours to come and pay for that one), car washing and window washing.
