Tagged again

I just noticed that I was tagged a few days ago by Wandering Mind so here goes:

Clothes Shop: Realistically I haven't shopped for new clothes in months due to a lack of funds so I can't answer this realistically....so I'll have fun and say if I had oodles of money I would buy things by Catherine Malandrino, Diane von Furstenberg, Blumarine, and Project Runway's new winner Leeanne and runner-up Korto.

Furniture Shop: I just bought things for my new place from IKEA since they proved to be extremely economical and I had a small budget. However, if I won the lottery I would shop at ABC Carpet and Home even though things there are wickedly overpriced. And I would take inspiration from all the gorgeous photos on An Indian Summer.

Sweet: I don't have a large sweet tooth. Once in a while I like those Pepperidge Farm cookies like Milanos, my mom's mango and regular kulfi, Zingerman's chocolate cake and Palmiers, creme brulee, Lindt pistachio chocolate, and Marshall Field's Frango mint chocolates (Are these available anymore?).

City: I love New York!

Drink: Chai, sweet lassi (plain not mango flavored), my mom's Kanji, Indian coffee, lattes, Coca-Cola, and thandiya (cold Indian drink made from powder....can't find the proper spelling), sugarcane juice

Music: I mostly listen to podcasts nowadays, but my iTunes includes Sarah McLachlan, U2, Smashing Pumpkins, Alicia Keys, Alanis Morissette, Bally Sagoo, The BoDeans, Coldplay, Dido, Cyndi Lauper, Ennio Morricone, India Arie, Josh Groban, Kate Voegele, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Louis Armstrong, Michael Penn, Morphine, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Peter Gabriel, Rabbi Shergill, Simon And Garfunkel, Tina Turner, Yo-Yo Ma, Tori Amos, and BHANGRA!

TV Series: Ever since I got DVR I watch way too much television. There are so many good things on tv though like Real Time With Bill Maher, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, Gilmore Girls, Frasier, No Reservations, Project Runway, Oprah, Sex and the City, Damages, General Hospital, Murphy Brown, The Cosby Show, Barefoot Contessa, Gossip Girl, Priviledged, Charlie Rose, Ace of Cakes, Grey's Anatomy, Tim Gunn's Guide to Style, Family Guy, Entourage, 60 Minutes.

Film: My all-time favorite movie has always been Naseeb. Amitabh Bachchan has three names in this movie! I think I have the entire dialogue memorized. Other than that other classics in my library are Beautiful Girls, To Kill a Mockingbird, Goonies, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Children of Heaven, The Namesake, LA Story, Clear and Present Danger, Star Wars, and Mohabbatein.

Workout: Next thing I need to get going on this week.

Pastries: I will direct you up to the Sweet section.

Coffee: Hazelnut or desi style

Unfortunately I don't think anyone I tagged from my previous post played along so I will tag some other bloggers. I'm tagging M. Writes, An Eager Soul's Journal and Diary of a Self-Portrait.
