- Sasha Pivovarova - Something magical about her: Russian, art student, not air-headed....
Music
Edit: The long paragraph below i typed out a year ago is a bit outdated. Am mostly and exclusively into Psy/Goa trance - full-on and hard please.
Currently listening to:
Vibe Tribe - the wise cracks album
Trainspotting OST
Glassball - superconductor
Tough....I like most genres except jazz, opera and really heavy metal. Grew up on mindless generic dance/trance. Its only now that i am into diverse genres like rock, electronic...and currently into house and psy-trance.
Röyksopp, Kings of Convinience, Maroon5, Linkin Park, Madonna, David Gray, Darude, Faithless, Moby, Chemical Brothers, Enigma, Tiesto, Axwell, Paul Oakenfold, David Guetta, Paul Van Dyk, Infected Mushroom, Shpongle, Eminem, Hinder, Fallout boy, Fort Minor, Justin Timberlake, Mika, Muse, Pink, Pussycat Dolls, Scissor Sisters, Dido, Korn, The Fray, The Killers, U2, Tom Waits, Gustavo Santaolalla, as well as old geezers like Phil Collins, Rod Steward, Simply Red, Rolling Stones, Brian Ferry, Queen....
Not a movie buff at all. If left alone, i'll almost never settle down to watch a movie.
The ones i've watched and liked are 'Dead man walking', 'A time to kill', 'Schindler's List' and 'Life is beautiful'.
The only movies I'll consider watching are ones with Kevin Spacey and Sean Penn, or Johnnie Depp in pirate costume *drooling incessantly*
Other than that, i love Friends, Seinfeld, Oliver's Twist, celebrity goss shows on VH1 etc, E News (Though some days it grates on my nerves with their faux-news)
But mostly TV is for VH1, National Geo, History Channel, Fashion TV, Animal Planet and CNN.
I'm usually totally uninformed about the news - and that's fine by me, coz its too depressing most of the time.
Books
Hmm...Anything and everything goes - except those annoyingly soppy Mills & Boons and other chick-lit...Give me porn instead. Don't like sci-fi and mindless thrillers either. Have also completely outgrown Jackie Collins. Give me any Oprah book club book, and i'm all set. I like novels that delve deeper into one person's life and teach you something.
Some recently read books -
Life of Pi - Yann Martel
Shantaram - Gregory David Roberts
The tin drum - Gunter Grass
Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides
Currently reading -
Trainspotting - Irvine Welsh
[Fucking good but watch the movie for something you'll never find in the book version: Ewan McGregor's genitals :-P]
Heroes
Buddha, HH The Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, Oprah Winfrey, Jane Goodall, David Attenborough, Jeff Corwin, Anderson Cooper, Anonymous guy at Tianenmen Square....
Anyone with a passion and conviction is a hero in my mind. Heroes are all around you if you only bother to look.
About me: Well. I'm Zenobia, the Rebel Queen of Palmyra. Screw that. I'm not filling any "About Me" sections. But this page is decked out sufficiently to give you a fair idea of who i am and what planet i come from.
And, yes, Zenobia IS my real name. Thank you.
My old profile got accidentally deleted:( Building a new one here bit by bit.
This page - like me - is still a work-in-progress.
You Are A Girl!
Are you ever serious? Well, you're seriously playful.
And guys are attracted to your girlish spirit and all the fun that follows.
Your girlish, temper, however... well, they could live without that.
Not to worry though, you never stay upset for long. It's off to the next adventure.
You're so quirky, it's hard for you to tell the difference between quirky and normal.
No doubt about it, there's little about you that's "normal" or "average."
You are beyond creative. You are a true artist - even if it's not in the conventional sense of the word.
You love creating for its own sake, and you find yourself quite inspired at times.
Your personality type is goofy, imaginative, relaxed, and brilliant.
Only about 4% of all people have your personality, including 2% of all women and 6% of all men
You are Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Perceiving.
You are in touch with your feminine side.
Sensitive, intuitive, and caring are all words that describe you.
And you're just masculine enough to relate to both men and women.
You and cats have a lot in common.
You're both smart and in charge - with a good amount of attitude.
However, you do have a very playful side that occasionally comes out!
Cool and clearheaded
Tend not to get swept away
Dependable and trustworthy
Able to look at thing objectively
Honest and direct in relationships
Rely on standards when picking a man
Good at solving relationship problems
Ready to compete for your sweetie's heart
Articulate, a good conversationalist, and witty
Think overly romantic displays are a waste of time
A few serious boyfriends as opposed to many flings
Notice all of the details about your guy - good and bad
When you communicate, you like to get to the point.
You're not afraid to say what's on your mind - and leave it at that.
Talking about your emotions drains you. You rather keep them to yourself.
You prefer solving problems to wallowing in your sorrows.
Actually wanna meet European (Caucasian) men who either live or work in Bombay. and Indian guys- please spare me the whole racist speech. I'm not! Its just why would i be myspacing for indian guys when they are all around me here in India?!? Doesn't make much sense to me. Or maybe I am a racist. Oh well...:)
And listen up - I'm NOT gonna accept Friend Requests from-
Profiles without a valid photo (Guys -It seriously bugs me if someone inserts a photo of a famous celeb. Dont do it, ok. Its not cool!)
Profiles set as Private
Music Bands
George W or anyone affiliated with that jackass
NOTE! Please don't just request to add me! I won't accept you. Write me first, this isn't a contest to collect people.
*ALSO!* Sorry, but if you're under 18 or over 81, please don't request me. I'm not gonna add you either. Nothing personal. 'Nuff said.
Yes, this is a new profile, but i'm still the same ol' bitch. So no change in my rules. :)
Happy Belated Birthday Zen!!!! Sorry for the late wishes, i thought it was today duh!!I hope u had a really really special day and that all is well with you :)

When we have passed beyond knowings, then we shall have Knowledge. Reason was the helper; Reason is the bar. When we have passed beyond willings, then we shall have Power. Effort was the helper; Effort is the bar. When we have passed beyond enjoyings, then we shall have Bliss. Desire was the helper; Desire is the bar. When we have passed beyond individualising, then we shall be real Persons. Ego was the helper; Ego is the bar. When we have passed beyond humanity, then we shall be the Man. The Animal was the helper; the Animal is the bar. Transform reason into ordered intuition; let all thyself be light. This is thy goal. Transform effort into an easy and sovereign overflowing of the soul-strength; let all thyself be conscious force. This is thy goal. Transform enjoying into an even and objectless ecstasy; let all thyself be bliss. This is thy goal. Transform the divided individual into the world-personality; let all thyself be the divine. This is thy goal. Transform the Animal into the Driver of the herds; let all thyself be Krishna. This is thy goal.(Shri Aurobindo)
