Questions asked to me by Shubhangi:

1. How do you deal with uncertainty?
   Ah, such an interesting question. Whenever there is uncertainty in anything I do, I see whether do I have the control to change that situation. If I do, I work towards it. Otherwise, I just relax and hope for the best !
   
2. How do you prioritize focusing on your passion and yourself?
   I practice time management to take time out for my passions like reading, writing and working on my blog.
   
3. What message do you want people to take away from your blog?
   I want people to visit my blog, explore and witness my creativity and imagination, and take the message that you have the power to do anything, you just require resolve! ✨
   
4. Who makes you the happiest and why?
   I think a singular entity like a person or a thing doesn’t make me happy. Happiness depends on my mood and my circumstances. I believe it comes in both big and small ways. I do however, am blessed to have my parents. 😇💖
   
5. What is one song/ piece of music that you’re most attached to emotionally and why?
   One song that I’m really close to is “Something just like this” . I can always listen to that song and it motivates me in times of distress.
   
6. What’s your go-to mantra when you need to give yourself a pep-talk?
   My go to mantra is that don’t panic, analyse the situation, do what you can do and hope for the best. You can do it! ✨
   
7. What holds you back from sharing your work sometimes?
   Some of my work is really emotional and heartfelt and I’m in a dilemma whether people will relate to it or not.
   
8. Are you doing what you’re passionate about right now? If not, what’s stopping you?
   Yes, I’m doing what I’m passionate about right now, fortunately, and I’m enjoying myself.
   
9. Do you practice enough self-care?
   No, I don’t think so. 😐🤫
   
10. What is(are) your favorite quote(s) and why?
    One of my favorite quotes is from the book “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini.
    “And that’s the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.” I feel this quote is very true and I myself have witnessed it.
    
11. What values do you prize the most and why?
    The values I prize the most are honesty, truth, integrity and reciprocity. I think in this world of cunning foxes, in the end, however difficult it may seem, the pure-hearted will always win! ✨

Questions asked to me by Nida:

1. Your go to movie?
   My go to Bollywood movie is ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dubara’ and for Hollywood, it is an American comedy film named ‘My cousin Vinny’.
   
2. Favorite book?
   The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.

3. Are you a student? If yes, what subjects do you study? Or in which field do you work?
Yes, I’m a student pursuing the field of engineering. Mainly I study subjects of science like math, physics, thermodynamics and computer programming.

4. One crazy thing on your bucket list?
That would be skydiving in Europe ! 🎇🌪

5. If you could visit one place from fictional books, what would that be?
This is so difficult to choose! I think this will include Hogwarts from the harry potter series, pre- Independence India from Subhash Chandra Bose’s Autobiography and industrial London between world war I and II as portrayed by Charles Dickens.

6. Your biggest pet peeve?
My biggest pet peeve is people not having consistency, integrity or reciprocity.

7. What languages do you speak?
