As I turned 30 this month, I realized that age is just a number. Initially, I was scared about turning 30. I thought I’d lock myself in a room and never come out, but it’s definitely not been bad at all. In fact, I feel more confident because I’m now, officially, more experienced. The big milestone birthday 30 is a day that I loved and I cherish.

I always set specific goals for myself, and looking back at my life, I’m happy with where I am right. My family and friends, who I can count on for anything in my life, have been supportive as ever and they are truly the reason behind everything that I have managed to achieve. In this post, I thought I’d share 30 things about me that you may/ may not know.

1. I love dresses! That’s my closet staple.
2. My favorite thing to eat – potatoes! I’m not kidding, that’s my thing!
3. I’ve always loved to try on different styles of clothes, even as a kid I used to pick out my own outfit.
4. My favorite color is yellow.
5. I’m from India, and I’ve lived in North and South India. My hometown is Bangalore and I worked in Chennai for two years. So, I have a strong connection with both cities.
6. I never played sports in school. I was such a lazy kid.
7. I love adrenaline activities – I’ve been all all rides on Stratosphere in Vegas and Sky Jumped from the building. Must do activity every year – go to an amusement park and try out the scariest ride!
8. I’m a HUGE Harry Potter fan. HP4 is my fave book.
9. I’ve been married for three years now. My husband’s hobby is racing, and I’m not the greatest driver. Let’s say I’m a slow learner on this one.
10. I have a mole on my left arm, just like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. (In case you don’t know, she’s a Bollywood Actress – Google it!)
11. I’ve never been to Europe.
12. I was such a naughty kid, my parents were always scared about how I would do in life. Not so bad after all!
13. I completed my bachelors in Computer Science engineering and then, I went on to pursue Masters in Business Administration.
14. My favorite show is Friends/ Sex and the City/ Gossip Girl. I’m a girly girl.
15. I love exploring new cities and trying out new restaurants. My favorite restaurants in Detroit –Selden StandardandStandby.
16. I try to cook everyday.
17. I have a full-time job.
18. I’ve been trying to change my lifestyle and eat healthy for the last three years. I love the change in my lifestyle and I hope to stick on with it, forever.
19. I’ve been to only one music concert till date, and it was a Taylor Swift concert.
20. I try to go on a vacation with my friends every year – I’ve been able to make it happen since 2011.
21. My first international vacation – Thailand. I went crazy shopping there!
22. I’m vegetarian.
23. I’m so clumsy, I keep knocking things off as I walk. {Definitely working on it!}
24. I’m picky about my earrings.
25. I get ID’d most of the time.
26. When I first moved to Michigan, I couldn’t stand the cold. Although, I’ve learnt to get through winter, because summer here is so beautiful.
27. My favorite resort in India – Serai Resort in Kabini
28. I love watching Bollywood movies!
29. After years, I finally realized the benefits of strength training. Now, I live by it.
30. My style mantra? Keep it classy, always!
