message 1: by Sumit (new)

Sumit Singla (sumitsingla) Last month, Harry set the ball rolling with some brilliant answers. This month, we talk to one of our favourite people on this forum, Sri and get her take on many things around here.

Here goes:
1. Who are some of the people (dead or alive, real or fictional) you wish you could meet, and why?
2. If they ever make a movie about your life, who do you think should play you and why?
3. Since you're a widely travelled person, which country would you pick as your favourite place to live in?
4. What is ONE thing you wish you could change about your life?
5. What is one thing that you've done that you're rather ashamed of?
6. If you had the option of doing any job for one day, what would you do?
7. What is one iconic story from your childhood that everyone remembers, narrates, and ROFLs at?
8. Without any particular context, if there's any piece of advice that you could give anyone, what would you say?

People, feel free to add your own questions that you would like Sri to answer. :)

And Sri, needless to say, if you don't like any questions, please kick the questioner's posterior. :P

*This offer does not apply to any questions asked by me! ;)

I doubt he really extracts answers as much as he thrusts it upon others :P :P

ROFL! This is all we need - a Vietnamese version of Arnab. :P


message 22: by Srividya (new)

Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid) Okay people.. here goes. And like any exam that I have appeared in till now.. I will attempt the easy questions first and the tough ones later... Hmmm hope you guys don't kill me after this session :P :P

2. If they ever make a movie about your life, who do you think should play you and why?

If it were a Hindi movie, I think Kajol. The reason being she is the closest to what I am, bubbly, full of humour and attitude, positive outlook, totally in love with her husband and a COMPLETE chatterbox to the boot :P :P Also, when she did play the role in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, a lot of my friends, past as well as then present, kept identifying me with her. Of course, I am not as over the top as that role or the way she played it, but do come quite close to it in real life :P :P

If it were a Hollywood film, it would be Meg Ryan for she is one actress I totally relate to, at least from the way she portrays her roles. She comes across as this adorably sweet yet whacky woman who wears her heart out on her sleeve :) And I'd like to think I am like that :P :P *narcissist much??* :P :P

Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid) 3. Since you're a widely travelled person, which country would you pick as your favourite place to live in?

This one is really simple - Hats down VIETNAM!! No other place that I have been to (although believe me I am not as widely travelled as Sumit makes me out to be) has ever held the charm or fascination as this one. The weather, the people, the food, LIFE in short is one big fun trip in this country. Of course, it also helps that I have a wide network of friends there who are like my second family. :) :)

PS - I do hope this wish comes true one day!! That's how much I love this country, despite its chaos and other issues that Fong likes to harp about :P :P :D :D


message 24: by IShita (new)

IShita Sri- I loved the "heart on your sleeve" part so much :D Superb answer !


Em*Greedy* (Iniya) (iniya_n) *sighs* I expected that sri would answer fast.. :-P Questioning team... be ready to fire more qns..!!!


message 26: by Bloodyhell (new)

Bloodyhell | 2944 comments Sri :D:D:D
+infinity for your answer to the third question. Even though I can't wait to get out to some colder places, I'm mightily happy that you're in love with my country (in my place) :P:P


message 27: by IShita (new)

IShita For a second I though you were gonna say "inspite of the other problems and issues like Fong" XD

Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid) 4. What is ONE thing you wish you could change about your life?

Honestly, the only thing I would like to change about my life is this separation. I would like it if we could live together as a family, doesn't matter where, as long as we are together and as long as Shrija has both parents with her at all times, especially at this age.

Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid) 6. If you had the option of doing any job for one day, what would you do?

A traffic policeman!!

Two reasons for this -

1. It has been my cherished dream since I was about 3. You could call it my ambition at that age for I really marveled at the ability and power that one single person held. :P :P

2. Childish dreams aside, it would give me the power to really give it back to some of the awful drivers that we meet everyday, who insist on not following traffic rules. It truly irks me and for one day, if I can simply bash them up (for that will be my self provided penalty), it would make me very happy :P :P

PS- If I am given this dream post for a day, I would want immunity for life as well as full protection, then on, against those I bash up on that day :P :P

message 38: by Srividya (new)

Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid) 7. What is one iconic story from your childhood that everyone remembers, narrates, and ROFLs at?

This is no where as hilarious or as nice as Harry's story but I did have my moment in the limelight when I was about 2-2.5 years old I guess.

We were living in the outskirts of Chennai at that point of time, which incidentally today is the hot and happening area of the city..(goes to show how cities grow). Anyway, we owned a Fiat car, which was always parked in the driveway and usually my dad never forgets to park safely and remove the keys. However, on this particular day, I guess he forgot or was supposed to go out, I am not sure which; any way the keys were in the car and the door was open. So in I scrambled without being noticed by anyone and apparently I turned the key as I must have seen my dad do several times(all this is heresy so please don't use too much logic) and voila the car started. As it was in gear already, without the hand break on, needless to say that it moved forward and banged right onto our gate, which thankfully was locked. I was apparently pretty amused with the whole thing, when my parents, grandfather and the neighbourhood rushed out to see what had happened. Of course there was a lot of shouting that happened amongst the elders while i was happily fiddling with the keys and wondering why it did not move any further.. :P :P

There are actually several such stories of me getting into some mischief or the other, all of which are retold quite a lot, much to my embarrassment but this one's for now :) :)


message 39: by Srividya (new)

Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid) Okay folks that's it from me for now.. the rest I will write later.. as those are the tough ones :P :P

Hope you enjoyed them :) :)
