The A to Z of Space Bar

Shouldn't that be, A-Z-but-don't-forget-the-Space-Bar-after- each-letter tag? Whatever.

First of all, I have to say how mysterious this tag is. It appears that one should not mention the people who're being tagged. Instead, one goes to the blog of the victim, um, that - and leaves a comment on a post, any post. One also takes care that no other tags are taken up on one's own blog in the meanwhile, so that when one of the tagees come to see what they've been tagged with, they don't add confusion to the mix of emotions that are roiling in their breasts.

But Dipali has tagged me and I'm being ungracious, so ignore all snarkiness and go on to the main stuff.

Okay, so this tag. I apparently have to answer 26 questions. Someone's gone to a lot of trouble to compose each question with one letter of the alphabet. So in celebration of which, here goes (I haven't actually read any of the questions, but I'm going to answer them as if this was some kind of personality test thingy and I have to say the first thing that comes into my head):


A -Available?
For what?

I now feel like a celebrity who's been interviewed for the books page of The Asian Age.
