Four things people would be surprised to know about you:

BROWN... I don't like to be too clustered

1. I am claustrophobic.
"I don't like to be too clustered. Is only like talking to you now I would say that, but I don't generally display it openly. I feel I'd get stifled and I don't want to get stifled. From a child, I don't like darkness, if I am sleeping and the lights are out - we used to use lamps - and the moment the light is out, I just automatically wake up and find that it is dark."

2. I don't like travelling alone.
"I never used to like travelling alone - going on airplanes - but I do anyway. You can't tell the driver to stop to get off, if anything. I used to be very much concerned, but it doesn't bother me as much. If I even go to the beach, I don't go too far, because there is nothing out there to hold on to."

3. I love eating tamarinds.
I love eating tamarinds and naseberry. I can't climb the tree, but I will seek to get it. Whenever I go to the bushes and the country places where I can get that, I would always ask them to put up tamarind for me. If it is sweet, I just sit down and eat them. If it is not so sweet, I would put sugar and make tamarind ball and put it in a jar, so even when tamarind season is over, I always have tamarinds."

4. I wanted children.
When I was younger, as a child, I used to say, I would have my own car to take my children to school and stuff like that. And I said if I was having children, I don't want one or two, I must have at least four. But I didn't get married, so I didn't go that way."
