BBAW: Self-Interviewing

Like the previous year, this year too, I am interviewing myself! Of course I have changed the questions so that the answers are different!
Why are you interviewing yourself?
What kind of question is that? Where is it written that we can't interview ourselves? Only we know ourselves the best and also can ask the best questions.
Have you ever thought reading is a chore?
Yes, of course. When I was in school and college. I used to hate studying! That is not reading though. I hold two post Graduate degrees, one in Chemistry and other in English. So you can imagine I had to do a fair amount of reading er..studying for those courses. English was cakewalk but Chemistry, not so!
What do you do for a living?
I teach. In school from Grade 6 to 11. Mathematics and English. I like to teach. However our schools are crowded. We have more than 55 students per class, sometimes 70! It is a challenge, as you can see. Checking, marking, grading become real tasks. Yet we manage. I will be completing 19 years of teaching on 7th October.
You have a poetry blog, rooted? When/how did you start writing poetry?
It was way back in 2005. A friend of mine, who I met via the net, asked me to write. I used to write cools mails to him and he being an editor thought I had potential! I wasn't even aware of his profession! I wrote short stories and slowly navigated towards poetry. And haven't stopped since! I wish to publish but there aren't many takers for poetry in India.
Would you like to share any quirky fact about yourself with us?
That is difficult. I am as straight as one can be! Well, I can't sit still at one place. I have get up after every  45 minutes. I am crazy about tea. I need it all the time. I go barefoot at home. I love sneakers and sport shoes of any kind. I don't really own high heels but shoes, I got plenty. I Iove getting wet in the rains! Purple and green are my favourite colours. Although I am mostly in Capris, I can carry Indian clothes just as well. However, I don't like revealing clothes at all. I gifted myself diamond studded platinum jewellery three years ago, two pairs of ear studs and a finger ring. I have very long raven black hair, which when open falls mid thigh! I need to be with intellectual people. Otherwise I go silent. I can be my own best company and I can also talk dime a dozen about things I don't know anything about. I have great insight and I have found that a disadvantage too. Men don't really like intellectual or intelligent females. That suits me fine. I will never settle for second best. Whew! I think I revealed a lot!
Would you like to be interviewed by anyone else?
Why not? I can answer most question unless one gets too personal! Any takers, folks?
It was good to meet myself, you know!
