Fruity secrets

Who doesn’t love? Pick your favourite fruit — apple, banana, grapes, cherry, coconut, mango, orange, papaya, peach, pear — and see what your choice says about you.

Apple: You are an extravagant, impulsive and outspoken, often with a bit of a temper. While you may not be the best orangiser, you make a good team leader, and are good at taking things forward. You can take quick action in most situations. You enjoy travelling. You ooze with charm when you are with your partner.

Banana: You are a softie! Loving, gentle, warm and sympathetic by nature is the banana lover. You often lack in self-confidence and are quite timid by nature. People often take advantage of your sweet temperament. You adore your partner in every which way, both for their mental and physical beauty!

Black grapes: You are a polite person in general, but do have quick flare-ups of temper that cool down just as quickly. You enjoy beauty in all forms, including beautiful people. You are very popular because of your warm, gregarious nature. You have a zest for life; you enjoy every thing you do. Your partner must share your zeal for life to enjoy all you have to offer.

Cherry: If cherry is your favourite fruit, life isn’t always as sweet for you. You often face ups and downs, particularly professionally; and find that you make small sums of money instead of a lump sum. You have a fertile imagination and are involved in creative pursuits. You are a very sincere and loyal partner; but find expressing your feelings is not easy. Your home is your haven, and you love nothing more than being surrounded by close family and your beloved partner.

Coconut: The coconut lover is a serious, very thoughtful and contemplative person. Though you enjoy socialising, you are particular about the company you keep. You tend to be stubborn but not necessarily foolhardy. Shrewd, quick-witted and alert, you ensure that you are right on top of any given scenario, especially at work. You need a partner with brains, and while passion is important it certainly isn’t everything for you.

Mango: A mango lover is a personality to be reckoned with; quite often you are a person who has quite fixed ideas, and influencing you is no easy task. You tend to be an extremist with strong likes and dislikes; and at times even like to control a situation. You enjoy getting involved in something that presents mental challenge. Strong as you may be, you are like a kitten when you are with your partner. You accommodate the love of your life, and make up for all the strong will elsewhere!

Orange: If orange is your favourite fruit, it speaks of a person who has enduring patience and willpower. You like to do things slowly; but thoroughly and are completely undaunted by hard work. You tend to be shy; but are a reliable and trustworthy friend. You have an aesthetic bent of mind. You select your partner with care and you love with all your heart, and are not in for just a fling. You avoid conflict at all costs.

Papaya: You are truly fearless and take much that happens in life, in your stride. You give considerable thought to things you do. You have a sense of humour that along with your generous nature keeps you in most people’s good books. You are a go-getter in your professional life, and have a knack for being in the right place at the right time. You enjoy meeting new people and seeing new sights. Your sense of humour is what attracts members of the opposite sex to you more than anything else. It is simply charming!

Peach: Like a peach, you enjoy the juice of life it all its lush ripeness! You are the friendly sort, and are quite frank and outspoken, which adds to your charm. You are quick to forgive and forget; and value your friendships highly. You have an independent and ambitious streak in you, that makes you a real go-getter. You are the ideal lover, fiery and passionate but sincere and faithful in love. You don’t however like to display all that passion in public.

Pear: If you put your mind to something you can do it successfully, but by and large you tend to be fickle and have trouble completing a task with the same enthusiasm you started it with.

You need to know the results of your efforts almost immediately. You enjoy mental stimulation and love to get into a good discussion. You tend to be a restless and high-strung person, and are easily excitable. While you are quick to strike up a friendship with someone, maintaining it does not seem to be easy

for you.
