The alphabet tag

Chiranjib tagged me for this one. And for a change, a tag that doesn’t seem too dragging. These are the rules:
1. Link the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share the ABCs of you.
4. Tag 3 people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
5. Let the 3 tagged people know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
6. Do not tag the same person repeatedly but try to tag different people, so that there is a big network of bloggers doing this tag!

    btw mojito is a cocktail made from bacardi, brown sugar, mint and lemon. its yum.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojito
    i like the mocktail (non-alcoholic) version of it where they use soda instead of bacardi. makes the drink like a spiced up lemonade.
