11 questions answered

1. If you could move to any part of the world right now, where would you go and why? Singapore probably! Coz the only con I have of being in USA is the distance to travel to India. So If I am in Singapore, I’d still be in a developed country, with the same lifestyle and traveling to India will be economically friendly.

3. Which three novels would you recommend to everybody you meet because you couldn’t put them down? I don’t read novels.
4. What is your favourite way to recover from a long and bad day? Favorite way? The best way I would recover from such a day would be by putting myself to sleep, rather than overthinking the situation.
5. Coffe, tea or…? Till school days it was Boost (a chocolate drink). Now I don’t have anything on a regular basis.
6. Name one thing you taught yourself to do. I am still teaching myself to let go the people who are not in my life anymore- best buddies
7. What’s the one thing on your bucket list that you absolutely have to do? No such thing. I am neither persistent nor patient. Just take life easy as it comes.
8. Is there a teacher who taught you something that still sticks with you even now? If so, who’s the teacher and what was the lesson? My English teacher, Mrs. Veena Kannan once said treat all the non-living things well, as they have lives. I still secretly follow that.
9. If someone made a movie about you and your life, what genre would it be and why? A mixed genre – Emotional + Adventurous, I guess. With a strict childhood, and adulthood appeared to be always on the go, socially crazy happy online!
