The Expansionist Meme

Nova tagged me for a meme which I thought was quite interesting as it makes one think of things that one should be thinking about but doesn’t! Here it is:

Please thoughtfully consider the following, and choose one item for each of the categories below. (Be sure to describe your reasons for choosing)

• One religious work from a non-familiar tradition you’ll read:
  Any major tome on Buddhism. I guess that’s because I am agnostic and feel that Buddhism comes close to the ideas I have about God.
• One music video-that you like-from your “least likely to listen to’ genre:
  I never enjoyed rap music much until I heard this video called ban the crooked police by Blaaze. Sure, the lyrics moved me, but the music did too.
• A book from a genre you almost never read, that you have read, or you will read (promise!):
  I have a lot of books I want to read…but if it’s an unfamiliar genre, then it’s difficult to choose. Whether it’s a comic book, a publication, fiction or non-fiction, I’ve tried them all. This includes cookery books, self-help books, how to books, health guides, cheap thrillers, literary works, autobiographies and so on. Right now I have about 30 books on my to-read list! Just not finding the time!
• Somewhere you’d never thought to go on holiday/vacation, and why it might be fun to go there?
  I want to go deep into the Amazon jungles but never really think I can go there…because I am not sure if they allow tourists to venture deep inside the forest. I like to go to places which are different and can teach me something I don’t know.
• A specific food you’ve never tried, but will because of this meme, honest!:
  I love trying new foods…
• A sport or game you really hate, or haven’t tried yet, but are willing to give one more go:
  I always wondered what it would be like to play kabbadi 🙂 I like the energy of those players and the way they move.
• A style of dance you probably won’t try (we won’t make you promise on this one):
  Bharat Natyam or any classical dance actually coz I know I’ll suck at it!
• A career job you don’t feel you’re suited for, and why:
  Information Technology. Coz I am not technical – never was.
• An item that’s “thinking out of the box’ for this meme that hadn’t been included:
  What is it that you will dare to wear which you have never worn before??? But I am not answering this one! Let the ones I’ve tagged try to!
• If there’s one thing in life you wanted to do, and will do because of this meme, what will it be?
  I guess I can say bungee jump…but am too scared so no promises!

I am tagging a few people who haven’t been tagged yet for this meme, and who I think might do the meme…but no worries if you don’t. And if someone feels he/she wants to do the tag, please feel free!
