It’s pretty embarrassing to post your own interview on your own blog but it’s just impossible to win an argument with Mrunmayee. :PI suggest that all of you also do this tag . It would be great fun to know each other. :)- Rati
This post is an entry for 500 Posts Celebration Giveaway
I have some three draft posts ready to send to Rati already. But this one is supposed to be an entry for the giveaway; so it had to be different. With respect to the 500 posts celebration, I decided to play with the number 5.
So I thought, we all love Rati; and she is always there for us. But do we really know her??? Do we really know what she likes and dislikes besides makeup?????
So I prepared a small fun questionnaire to know our IMBB beauty better. When I first contacted her, she thought I was going to ask her questions like- “How did you start IMBB?”, “Where do you see yourself after five years?” We had a few good laughs thinking about questions like this!!!!
So here are some excerpts from a telephonic interview of “Rati IMBB”!!!

See now Rati, IMBB has become a website I visit early in the morning, shows I am really addicted 😛

I am also addicted. 😀
He he thanks!!!!
.-= Mrunmayee´s last blog ..Grand giveaway at IMBB- =-.
Heyy..that was really nice Mrun 🙂
I love sunflowers and Macbook ( I keep telling myself I can buy myself two laptops for the price of one, but I am still saving up for it)…and Chanel and jalebis…oh but I would pick tea and pizza!!
Wayyyy too much work Rati…but I do drop here to peek every once in a while..so don’t worry we are all here on IMBB to stay forever 🙂
Oh my!! I was wondering where you had disappeared. I know, i so badly want a MAC book. There are loads of things that people keep telling against MAC book but really nothing works. 😛
I am married in a the family of tea lovers so I guess I would soon join your “tea” category. he he.
:-*
I think you like Macbook because it has MAC in it!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
.-= Mrunmayee´s last blog ..Grand giveaway at IMBB- =-.
Hehehehee…we could be separated-in-a-mela sisters 😛 Rati and Rads…we don’t have tatooos though naa…hehehee….we will have rouge cocos as identification….ok I have gone totally mad now!!!!
I know someone who go a Chanel Tatoo done. So you see you are not the craziest ones around. 😀 😀
I want to get a tattoo done but all those needles scare the s*** out of me. Such a chicken I am. :chicken:
Seeing all these posts – Mrun’s and Jomol’s esp – wowwwww…Ppl are so funny-creative here!!
Did your read that women are from Earth…post by Jomol? :rotfl: :rotfl:
Thouroughly enjoyed the question-answer session.Me too love sunflowers.
🙂
YES..but only the first part…that is one funny potato!! Oh and saw her mentioning the bent-eared donkey and I was like ohhhh…what unity these two have – cannot wait to get free and join in….am missing all the fun 🙁
Oh btw..i that subscription link..i entered my blog mail id in it…not the one I have used for commenting..shouldn’t make a difference na?
no it shouldn’t . 🙂
You get free soon. We really miss you around. Especially when jomol is writing all these posts. :laugh: :laugh:
I know, the potato and castor oil unity is making me , J. I think it’s time to do some makeup. :alien:
Great idea Mrun and cute and honest answers Rati 🙂 Really interesting 🙂
thanks…. :-)) :-)) :-))
.-= Mrunmayee´s last blog ..Grand giveaway at IMBB- =-.
very sweet
we all wud love to know more abt Rati!
I think all of you must do the tag- I also know so little about you…
Rati, don’t try to force it on others… It is your interview… And it is NOT embarassing!!!! :-X
.-= Mrunmayee´s last blog ..Grand giveaway at IMBB- =-.
Lovelt Post Mrunmayee…Was great fun and Rati ..Nice to know u a little more… :-)) BTW The things that you hate about yourself are exactly the things i hate about myself… 😕 what do we do ?
Shweta, I have become a lot patient over the hears. All credit goes to the years I have spent in hostel but the biggest thing that i want to change about myself is “forgive and forget”. I don’t forget things easily and in long run these things only affect me. 🙁
Cooking, I think we must get a good cook. 😀 😀
Being headstrong is both positive and negative, so upto you how you take it.
I think we all are good as we are. Can’t be perfect no..:)

.-= Mrunmayee´s last blog ..Grand giveaway at IMBB- =-.
your laughter was ringing in my ears as i read “laughs”, “laughs real hard” etc.! beautiful, short and precise interview. loved it! and when i read “behind the greasepaint” i scrolled down quickly expecting your photo wearing a greasepaint stick. we’re truly addicts. 😛
and we all know what a workaholic you are! it’s very apparent from the way this blog runs! send some this way coz i have zero ambition and no drive to work.
by the way i was in no mood to sleep day before yesterday and i ended up browsing through totalgadha. had lots of fun. 😀
lol!! Don’t remind me of greasepaint sticks. I’ll end up buying another one. No , no talks about grease paint sticks. 😛
TG’s season is coming. It’s going to be mad there. Right now every one is lazying around. 😀
i read your blog too. you write very, very well! i mean it isn’t so apparent over here! i’ll keep visiting totalgadha. i passed my time really well. 🙂
greasepaint sticks? what greasepaint sticks? :-/
.-= Rima Kaur´s last blog ..Beneath The Smiles =-.
Thank you. 🙂 I used to write there once in a while so was a better writer. When you write daily, your thoughts kinda get diluted. 🙂
But I do enjoy writing everywhere. Good, bad, happy, funny, tg or imbb. he he. 😛
Rima… Honey… Go and get a greasepaint stick already… 😛
You are seeing things(GP sticks… 😛 !!!!) now… :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
oh mrunmayee i won’t be getting any greasepaint stick. i’m definitely buying the sharkskin shadestick though. 🙂
.-= Rima Kaur´s last blog ..Beneath The Smiles =-.
What!! Now i need to buy shadestick as well? you liked them so much. 😛
i didn’t like it SOOOOOO much but i did like it alot. it has shimmer that i hate but i’m bearing with it. 😛 she eyeshadow manages to stay put till night. remember how i used a lakme quartet shade on my mother? well even that stayed on till night, as pristine as ever (remember mrunmayee’s review of the moondust quartet?). that too when mummy rubbed her eyes a hundred times (she never remembers that she has eye makeup on).
i need something dark for my smokey eyes and that’s why i want sharkskin. don’t worry i’m gonna buy all my makeup in your presence henceforth. :-))
.-= Rima Kaur´s last blog ..Beneath The Smiles =-.
oh and the shadestick didn’t drag on my lids. it went on creaaaamy though people say that you must always roll them between your palms (or sit on them, in my case) :rotfl:
.-= Rima Kaur´s last blog ..Beneath The Smiles =-.
I am not reading mrunmayee’s comments. She is talking about grease paint sticks. :pirate:
Awesome interview.. Absolutely loved reading it
oh this is such a fun post! way to go M 🙂
Oh no, that jamalgota Radhika is back and she is calling me potato….I am ***waiting waiting*** for the jamalgota to come…. :teeth: :teeth:
White wine….talli ho gayi!!!!!!! :X-P: :X-P: :X-P: :X-P: :X-P: :X-P: :X-P: :X-P: :X-P: :X-P:
Aww..that was such a cute post..But then again, I knew many of those things abt Rati- Shahi Paneer, Kadhi Chawal, Makeup, etc etc..And reading it made me wish all over again to meet her soon 😉
Btw, me too loveez tha MAC book..I never knew anything abt it, but the moment I got one, I knew I wouldn’t have loved anything else so much.
Thank you M for the rapid fire interview..and yeah loads o love and good wishes to Mr and Mrs TG..hehe
