5 Qs and my honest As

Latest and last prompt by Preeti...


And here is my response:

1. If you had Rs.50,000 to just blow up (you have to spend it on YOURSELF. Giving to Charity or buying gifts for others not allowed), what would you spend it on and why?
A: 50000/- will be spent on a relaxing holiday on a resort (I can never have enough of these), complete with spa appointments etc. OR on a reading with Sonia Choquette
2. Name three of your closest friends (not family or spouse) and say why you love them.
A: My closest friends:
1. Shipra - We never need to tell each other long stories about our lives - its mostly understood. No assurances are needed, no judgement enters, and we know that we cherish our friendship beyond everything.
2. Manisha - For bringing so much joy and wisdom and guidance in my life every time I meet her. And even when I don't. She simply sends so much my way just by existing in this world.
3. A (he doesn't want to be named): For simply being there without judgement, and putting me under a microscope when needed and still enjoying my company. Oh, and the fun that we have together is, well, just too awesome.

3. Name three books which have profoundly affected you and which you would recommend to everyone to read.
A: These were my life changers:
1. Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll
2. Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand
3. Enlightenment: The Only Revolution - Osho (Commentary on the Ashtvakra Geeta)
4. If you know for certain that you can never ever fail, what would you attempt to do?
A: Start my workshop. Right now.
5. What is THE ONE THING that you want very very badly?
A: I really, really want to experience silence - when nothing moves and there is no hurry to accomplish anything.
