Flickr Mosaic Tag

Just when I was breaking my head thinking which post to publish from the ones I had planned, this tag from Poonam came as a blessing. Yippie, I have more time to think !

How this is done :
1. The answers to each of the questions below are applied in Flickr Search.
2. The best image is picked, but only from the first page.
3. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd’s mosaic maker.


1 ) What is your first name ?
Vimal. I was surprised to see the results in flickr. Only Vimal ??? Give me a break !!!

2) What is your favourite food? Right now?
Puttu and Kadala Curry; now and always. For those of you who dont know, its a Kerala delicacy. Puttu is often referred as steamed rice cake and Kadala Curry is the gravy made from black chickpea. Yummmm! I am going to see if I can get this 'right now'. Heres a link to the recipe :

3) Which high school did u go ?
Govt. Victoria College. The tree in the mosaic is a part of our huuuge college campus; thats where the ground is. I am surprised and equally glad to find this picture in flickr. Some good alumni soul had posted it but this is the only image of our college in flickr. The tree is referred as "Muthasshi maram" which means Grandmother Tree and is believed to be centuries old; our college started functioning from 1889.

4) What is your favorite color?
Black.

5) Who is your celebrity crush?
Honestly, there has never been any. But any celebrity who could come close to being called a 'celebrity crush' would be this French news reader, Melisa Theuriau. Check out her info in Wikipedia. Phew ! With such a news reader, who wouldnt watch television, huh?

6) Favorite drink?
Orange juice. Now a little fact about me- I am a teatotaller in all sense; I have never and will never have plans to taste any of the alcoholic beverages (including beer and wine) and have stopped tea and coffee 3 years ago.

7) Dream vacation?
Egypt. I just love the concept of Pyramids and the mystery behind it.

8) Favorite dessert?
Caramel Pudding.

9) What do you want to be when you grow up?
Singer ( Though I wish this question could have been reframed as "what do you want to be as you grow older?")

10) What do you love most in life?
Music.

11) One Word to describe you.
Crazy.

12) Your flickr name.
Now this is tricky. My flickr name is vimmuuu, but the search result was zero asking if I meant "vim" and thats how I got this into the mosaic.

I must thank Poonam for this tag, it was real fun !! And now I tag Oxy for his version.

Yours is much more interesting and hilarious output than mine. No one else can get stuck with brands as with you in tag: Vimal and Vim. ha ha..

I too like caramel pudding and I think I will like puttu that I have never tasted. And trust you guys to lust after some French news reader! Where would you find her?

Your black is beautiful.

N another of ur answers....u admiring a French newsreader....which was that historical day when u started watchign news on TV...Mark it bold!!! I'll give this more publicity....details plsssss :))

vimmuuu said...

@ Nishi(chechi):

I have always liked Puttu and Kadala and if at all, I have rejected Puttu, its only becuz I didnt get Kadala with it :)Moreover,we dont make dosas and idlis at home that often right, thus the craving for them. So my dear sis, please have a look at the recipe, learn how to make them 'properly' and feed me the next time I come over for food.

Its been 11 years since we moved away from each other and you think I still wear the same underwear! Oh come on sis, times have changed, I do watch news now !! Go ahead and give the publicity now.hehehe. As for the French reporter, I got her pics via a fwd and then checked out her videos in youtube. She is 'haaaat', isnt she ?

Unknown said...

Same underwear....yuccckk!!!
n u dont have to be so optimistic...my cute lil chubby teddy Vimal of yesteryears , dont u think u'll need more 'stuffing' to fit them today...? I must say I always liked u that way, I could always give u a hug...hehehe

N now I understand ur new found interest for news :)

vimmuuu said...

@ Nishi (chechi) :
Stop embarassing me....aaaargh!!! This is why they keep families away from this !
