What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My trip to Dubai was my most memorable childhood experience. It was my first trip out of my native country, India. I loved how everything seemed so different. I was only seven years old at the time, so was fascinated by all the little things. |
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I closely identify with my sister. She has been a role model to me ever since I can remember. She excelled in academics and sports which forced me to strive hard in both as well. I look up to her for all the decisions in my life. |
What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire a person's honesty and passion the most. I cannot live with a dishonest person. Also a person without passion is no good. |
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | The funniest thing that ever happened to me was a surprise birthday-cum-Halloween party. I had not celebrated my birthday that year till October and my friends decided to throw me a surprise one along with a Halloween party. So everyone was dressed in humorous costumes for me and gave me scary/funny gifts for my birthday. The whole experience was very special to me. |
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would travel to space (there is talk about space tourism starting in 2013). I want to see how Earth looks from outer space. It would be fascinating, although very expensive. |
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would like to pass on to them the good moral values I got from my family. I would hopefully give them good advice on life and maybe some material things as well; like my property, land etc. I would make sure they have a safe and protected future financially. |
