In the post, I am sharing 15 random facts about me. Some are random, while others give a glimpse into my world. Hope you enjoy reading these tidbits!
I usually don’t talk about myself on social media be it on the blog, or Instagram or Insta stories. I shy away and feel awkward about sharing my day or life in general. But I love learning a little more about the ladies behind my favorite blogs, and I get asked a lot about what I do and where I am from. So I thought you would enjoy these random facts about me. I would love to know about you, don’t forget to leave them in the comments.
This is me 90% of the time, raw, unplugged from the fashion norms, no makeup on, messy hair, breezy clothes, trying to eat less, loving the wonky spaces of my body and mind, believing nature has an answer for everything, dreaming of living a sustainable and healthy life.
15 Random Facts About Me
1. I have been vegetarian all my life except for the 6 months when I ate chicken 2 years back.
2. My first salon haircut was when I was 23 years old. Until then my mom used to cut my hair and wouldn’t let anyone touch it (literally). In short, she loves my hair more than me.
3. I get awkward when someone compliments me. I shrank and used to walk away feeling awkward. Now I’ve learned to thank them back and reciprocate the same when I like something about others.
4. My love for plants comes from my mom who treats all her plants very preciously. My biggest dream right now is to have a mini jungle in my house and live a plastic-free lifestyle.
5. My favorite family vacation is visiting different temples and knowing their history.
6. I did my Bachelor’s and Master’s in Computer Science but growing up, I wanted to be an animator, gynecologist, and a professional violin player.
7. I get confused about how to answer when someone asks me where I am from. My ancestors hail from Karnataka state in India but I was born in Andhra Pradesh and grew up in Odisha. All these states complete me.
8. I can speak 3 Indian languages fluently (Telugu, Oriya, and Hindi). I cleared the first (A1) level test for the German language but hardly remember any words now except for a few like Danke (Thank you!). My latest obsession is to learn Japanese.
9. I am a food lover but I hesitate to try new items in restaurants because I don’t want to miss out on a chance to eat my favorite dish. I am plain boring when it comes to food.
9. India and United States are the only 2 countries I’ve ever been (sadly). The places that I am most excited to visit are Bali, Japan, and the African safari.
10. Green has been my favorite color ever since I can remember. I love all shades of it but I am a little biased to mint.
11. Music fixes everything for me. I am a die-hard fan of A R Rahman’s music and also enjoy listening to Adele and Ed Sheeran.
12. I’ve won several prizes for group dancing and singing while growing up but never did a solo performance on stage.
13. I barely wear any makeup (mostly lipstick) in all my outfit pics. I spend less than 5 mins on my face every day.
14. Sleeping is not my favorite thing to do. I feel we can get a lot of things done if we didn’t sleep (swear on my dark circles and puffy eyes).
15. I despise any kind of discrimination based on caste, race, or color. I also run a Facebook group called unite against caste feeling for like-minded people.
I would love to know more about yourself. please leave them in the comments.

The awkward at compliments is totally me too! These are fun. It inspires me to do a fact post now and i am like you and don’t talk about me much
Such a fun read! I loved it, getting to know you. You seem interesting and so natural. I am also into learning Japanese.
Unlike you, I love to sleep. Always have!
What a lovely post to get to know you. I love that your Mum didn’t let anyone touch your hair that is so cute.
Love this post and love the outfit. I really love the hat. But, I do love to sleep and take a nap sometimes.
I love your outfit and I love the theme of your post! This so cool!!!
I used to be the same way with compliments, but I’ve since got over the fear of confrontation and love to compliment random people I come across! It will make someone’s day just saying they’re doing a great job!
I’ve also never thought about doing a random facts about me blog post!
I really love my sleep, but I don’t often get as much as I would like. It gets tough with two littles, especially one who seems like you and doesn’t like to sleep! I love learning about the person behind a blog, it is always to interesting to see their likes and passions.
I love this, I enjoyed reading your random facts! I love Ed Sheeran too, he’s my favourite singer by far. Music fixes everything for me too.
Loved reading your random facts! I’m the same way with compliments, but am working harder on being more confident in replying!
I am jealous that you can speak more than one language. The US is terribly monolingual, especially us farm girls growing up in the diversity-lacking heartland.
wow! you sound like a very impressive person! I too won awards for dancing growing up and i’m also a boring eater – I love food but I don’t want to miss out on my fave dishes in restaurants like you said. I think it’s a great idea to give your readers an insight into who is behind the words on your blog!
Love all these facts! I’m totally the same about compliments, I get so awkward.
I am a no make up gal too. I usually only wear in on the weekends when I go to church
You dance and sing? Wow. That’s pretty talented. I’m lucky not to trip over my own feet. Fun 15!
I used to but mostly all group performances. Now I might trip on my own feet as well, haha! Thank you so so much for reading. You are so kind!
I always love learning these random facts about people. It’s so interesting to get to know more about bloggers you like reading! Now you’ll have to do a singing and dancing video for us!
Haha! I should get back to dancing but making videos I am not sure I dance that well to out them on YouTube. But thanks a lot for reading the post. Would love you to know facts about you.
those pants are so cute, and thanks for sharing your facts!

Thanks Mary! These pants are the comfiest I have found. They feel like pj’s
I love this outfit on you. I am always happy to learn more about my fellow bloggers.
You are such a fun young lady. I love yoru country and yoru culture. India is an amazing place and not to mention the food. We have so many thing in common I love my plants too and speak three languages. Glad to have the chance to get to know you better.
Very sweet of you to say that. Thank you so so much. Wow! What 3 languages do you speak?
Love what you’ve shared here. I have visited Bali and Japan – I absolutely loved Japan and would go back there in a heartbeat! Bali wasn’t for me unfortunately but that’s not to say you wouldn’t enjoy it!
What a fun post! I loved learning more about you. Well, if you would be interested to know about me, here are my 5 facts: I do not eat chicken, but I eat eggs. I hate lizards and all its reptile relatives. I don’t wear make up. I love sneakers. I can speak Mandarin, but I can’t write it. There you go. 5 facts about me. 🙂
Hi Kristine, thank you so much for sharing about you. I kind of dislike lizard and reptiles too. Wow! you speak Madarin? I know it’s not an easy language to learn.
It was definitely great to learn more about you! Sometimes opening up about yourself to strangers might be a bit awk, but this was a great read. I love the colors of your ootd!
I don’t make my blog personal either but it can be so nice to find out more about someone. I used to be a pro singer and then a magazine editor, it always gets a conversstion going! xx
Firstly I love this outfit. Great to get to know some facts about you 🙂
The awkwardness with compliments used to be mo too. Well, still is, to some degree. I spend about 5 minutes on my make-up as well, foundation and such are not my friends. However, give me some black eyeliner and lipgloss and life is great. Awsome that you have your Bachelors and Masters in Computer Science, that is a wonderful achievement. Great post and thanks for sharing. 😉
You’re such a lovely lady. The way you put up your fashion is great too. I feel too shy also when people compliments me. But am used to it. I’ll keep reading more of your post. Thanks.
You’re such a lovely lady, Surekha. The way you put up your fashion is great too. I feel too shy also when people compliments me. But am used to it. I’ll keep reading more of your post. Thanks.
I’m a lot like you. I ALWAYS order the same meal at restaurants. I have a problem with change! And make sure you travel a bit more. So much to discover!!!
I love when bloggers write posts like this. It’s so fun to get a sneak peek at their off-line life. I hear you on the sleep thing .. but take it from me Sweetie, one day you’ll be 40 and those dark circles won’t disappear so quickly after a couple night’s sleep. As Rhett Butler said to Scarlett O’Hara “Tomorrow’s another day” x
I relate to you on the fact that I hardly ever wear makeup and spend less than 5 minutes putting anything on but I think that is because I value sleep to much and don’t want to lose any of it to put makeup on. I love it when bloggers post things like this because you get to know the person behind the words instead of just the persona
It’s nice to hear about you. I love your clothing and yes I to wear no makeup most of the time and just go out the door.
These were really great, I loved getting to know you a little better. I like that you go for the natural look and keep things simple.
These are such sweet things you’ve told about yourself. It’s so interesting that you’ve been a vegetarian for almost all of your life! I think you’re a more reserved person generally, and you should feel free to express that!
I loved getting to know more about you. Your outfits are always amazing, but I enjoyed learning more about the person in them!
I wrote a post a few months back about random facts about me in order to let people know about me and for me to learn about my readers too. A fun post, nice to know about you.
I appreciate your courage. It’s hard to disclose yourself especially on social media where a lot of judgement might be made. (Gee Villaruz)
I’ve been reading your blog for some time now and I don’t really know anything aside from the outfit posts and the tips that you share with us! It was nice getting to know you!
I love random facts posts! I feel like we get an insider’s look at a life and it’s so interesting. You know sooooo many languages. I know English, and a little Cajun French, so I’m slacking!
Wish I could pull off pants like this. I love this outfit.
I love these kind of posts, i find them really interesting! Id love to learn mire languages, really want to learn Spanish its such a beautiful language. I can’t stand discrimination either! Its been tough for some in the UK lately.
loved knowing the bits about you. you are such a sweet and unpretentious person! xx
