Found My Salander!

I have this habit of conjuring up images of the characters, I read about. As the story progress, I keep adding and taking away tangible features from a particular character. About two years back I had read –Girl with Dragon tattoo Trilogy and the image of the female protagonist, Lisbeth salander, got stuck in my head- which wasn’t exactly the way author had described it, but somewhat like his description. I couldn't even watch the movie which was based on the novel, because I was not in agreement with how the actress looked. She didn't look like the salander i had in mind, and I didn’t want my picture to get blurry.

And guess what? About a couple of months back this girl joined our office and the moment I saw her I almost gasped. She looked just like the MY SLANDER! Man! Her height, her figure, her hairstyle, her faces even her walking style. Later then I came to know she is sport woman...Bang on! Thank god I didn’t watch that movie.

Though, she comes across pretty rude, I like that about her...that makes her complete Salander of mine :).

Oh, by the way, I told her that she looks like Lisbeth Salander, which she of course considered a complement and I call her Salander and not by her real name!

Well, i am head over heels for Bertie Wooster from PG Wodehouse. He is so much like me free, or rather carefree and lost, gets himself into awkward situations, hates being how the world expects and made him to dress up and behave. And after meeting Salander my hopes of meeting Bartie, one day, have really shot up....
