The Proust Questionnaire Answered by Dr. Preeti Singh

I have been tagged to answer questions about myself by Agnes Laurens. It is called the Proust Questionnaire. So here it is :

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Happiness is a state of mind. I am in gratitude to God to have blessed me with so many things. I live the moment and am usually happy.

What is your greatest fear?

My greatest fear is a loneliness in old age.

What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?

1. At times I am afraid to tell the person who I really want to express that a spade is a spade.
2. I am very giving. Just forgive and start a new slate even with people who have at some time lost trust in their dealings.
3. Believe in people who tell lies with a straight face because I think people usually tell the truth.

Which living person do you most admire?

I like Amitabh Bachan who is still working in the cinema. He has a great voice and personality. I like Dhoni for his cricket skills.

What do you consider the most overrated virtue?

Not sure about this.

On what occasion do you lie?

I don’t like to lie. At times, I do keep quiet when situations of handling people arise.

Which words or phrases do you most overuse?

I think so, maybe, are you sure?

What or who is the greatest love of your life?

My family and my friends give me a lot of joy. I also love nature, yoga, walks, flowers, and trees.

When and where were you happiest?

My childhood with not a care in the world out in the garden and perched up on trees.

Which talent would you most like to have?

1. I love singing, wish I could sing.
2. To have more understanding of computers and various techniques of formatting.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

Try to live in isolation because I love to be with people.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?

To have a complete life. I have enjoyed everything I did and have been able to achieve economic independence all my life.

I loved to be an educator, a designer for clothes and jewelry, worked in a corporate organization, and also had all the fun in my life.

I do not take the stress. I am very calm and composed.

Where would you most like to live?

Somewhere in a cottage with a garden, an orchard, and a place to grow my vegetables.

What do you most value in your friends?

Honesty, love, and trust.

Which historical figure do you most identify with?

This is difficult for me to answer. Maybe some strong and brave women.

My family.

What is your greatest regret?

I have no regrets in life. I just let it come as it should and go with the flow.

What is your motto?

Live the moment. Each day is special!
