Questions by Cosmic Explorer

1. Where do most visits to your blog come from?

2. What is your favourite sport?

Rohit: Well I am an enthusiastic fan of most of the sports but Cricket and baseball are two sports which give me the thrill just to watch!

3.What has been a special moment for you so far in 2016?

Madhumita: the Special moment so far has to be that moment when I came to know that both I and my better half got a job together in the same Company.

Rohit: Well when I got the news that I’ve been selected and told my parents and grandparents about it. Especially when I told my grandfather!
Ahhh… that moment of euphoria! 🙂

4. What is your favourite quote?

Madhumita:

” If you don’t ask, the answer will always be no.” -Unknown.

This is one quote which has inspired me a lot. Being an introvert, I was earlier scared of asking for anything in fear of getting a negative answer. But this quote made me keep all my fears aside.

Rohit: “That knowing is better than wondering. That waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake, beats the hell out of not trying.” – Benjamine Franklin.

5.What was your favourite class when still at school?

Madhumita: My favourite class when still in school has to be Sanskrit. Lalima ma’am taught us that subject. She was a strict teacher abut taught us everything in a very friendly way. I miss her classes after passing school.

Rohit: My high school years were awesome!

6. Anything you had wished to have learned earlier?

Madhumita: Well, I had wished to learn Criminal Psychology from always and still wish to do so.

Rohit: Writing different experimental pieces of English!

7.What musical instrument have you tried to play?

Madhumita: I have played the Harmonium and still can play it but need a bit practice. I used to play it and sing simultaneously which is very common over here.

Rohit: Piano!

3. Which book/movie/play had the most effect on you?

6. Who is your hero, both fictional and non-fictional?

Madhumita: My Mom. She has inspired me a lot. She manages her schoolwork as she is a teacher and also household chores such as cooking. The way she manages everything amazes me daily. She is a kind inside and strict outside. I have never seen her saying “no” to anyone who has asked for her help except me. :p She is an amazing personality and I wish to be like her in the future.

Rohit: Non-fictional: My mother.
Fictional: Steve Jobs.
