Thanks Maha😃 for your questions.... here you go...

1) What is the significance of the number 12 in your ID?

Don't read too much into it … only significance is this …. Since I work in financial sector ..my mind is trained to think about user_id and password as a very critical piece of info … I am tired of securing the user_id and password for all my work in this digital world … since I was sure that I would never log on or post anything ever …. I just made up a user_id that I would remember without any trouble …thinking of not 12 as a number …. More like 1 then 2 …. if I knew I would meet all of you later….. trust me I would have used something more significant …
2) How did you find out about India-Forums?

I am not a soap person as I get bored very easily …. I found Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahe very refreshing …. When one of my friends told me it's the Hindi version of a popular Spanish soap …. I became curious to find out about the story … searched the net … as far as I remember I landed up in Vijay's website dedicated to JJKN …. Then somehow I found out about this site … don't exactly remember when … I used to log in to read the updates of JJKN … never posted anything 😕 ... but after seeing Gaurav things changed.... you see I took a oath to make him famous😉….
3) When's your birthday?
It is January 22nd.

4) What's your profession? I am a Consultant Systems Analyst … I work with very complex financial software ... presently employed in the largest
US based Financial Institution.

5) Your hobbies? Gardening(only flowers), watching movies and foreign films to understand different cultures, interior decoration and follow the fasion😉.

6) Your best friend on IF? All my friends here are very unique as they offer me different kinds of friendship. I became close to so many that it's very difficult to exactly point out who is the best among the best.

All I can say my first friends were Vasantha and Jojo, these two will always have a special place in my heart …. Then came on board Candy and Swetal with so much passion …Vidyadi and Lily so much sweetness they expressed in their PMs… then gr8, sweetdreamz ,vanzi, gulrani, Aabha, khanrocks, Achouba, muneeza, Shaz, Bubly,pine, foram all so unique in their own ways…and Maha …it feels like you are there all the time …. I am sure I missed a few in my list ….. I am so sorry😭 my tiny heart can deal with so much love🤗 at a time …

Vasu dear ... I am in no position to analyze anything today ... I am already very afraid of answering all these question😳 ... thank you for your questions honey....here you go...

1)Why this 12 in your ID? OMG you guys are analyzing too much now … I am really on the hot seat now … I am giving you the same response that I gave to Maha …. Don't read too much into it … only significance is this …. Since I work in financial sector ..my mind is trained to think about user_id and password as a very critical piece of info … I am tired of securing the user_id and password for all my work in this digital world … since I was sure that I would never log on or post anything ever …. I just made up a user_id that I would remember without any trouble …thinking of not 12 as a number …. More like 1 then 2 …. if I knew I would meet all of you later….. trust me I would have used something more significant …

2)Who was your first crush before Mr.Chopra? You mean celebrity crush right? I am not a type of a person who has crushes every now and then …. Anyway the last celebrity I felt very close to is Russell Crowe after watching the movie "A Beautiful Mind" …. I watched all his movies and walked to the MIT campus where the shooting was done…. Visited Princeton just to feel Dr. Nash's life… I was quite moved by the movie…. actually his own life story. Russell Crowe is awesome… he made Dr. Nash awesome too …

3)When did you first watch him?....in ADHM or any other serial? Thank goodness in ADHM only … I do not like his previous look at all …. So lucky for Gaurav😉 …. The first episode I saw when he came to visit Randhir's house after the hot and wet encounter with Rusty … I still have not seen the 1st mulakaat episode😭 ….. only saw the bits and pieces here and there in Samay's thoughts.

4)What was your reaction on hearing the comments by Gaurav? Let me try to use the emotions here ->🤢 ->😕->😳->😉->😆😆I understood fully what Saumya goes through every day. I still did not post anything in his sticky … not sure where to start.

5)Tell us something about your family...I understand that you do not have a sister..

I can't give away everything where other people are concern😆 … can I😉 …. You have to wait my friend to know me like a open book👏 …. But this much I will say …. I have a big family👏 (some of them are not very pleased with my dedication to this forum as they think I am taking away their portion of my time and giving it to my on-line friends😉) .. but they love me unconditionally👏 and always there to take all my nakhres … and No... I do have 2 sisters.

6)Are you an optimist? Very much. I am a strong believer👏 … Life is too good to let go😊 … I adjust my perspective time to time … but never feel hopeless😉.

Shahnaz congratulation on being the MOW, looking forward to read your answers from your hot seat (shall I say bed of roses ), shall I throw some bouncers ( actually I feel like throwing them at our Indian cricket team who are more interested in doing ad's and walking the ramp rather then practicing at the nets).
So Shan here is my first round.
1. Your take on religion and beleives ? ( will understand if you choose not to answer)
2. Role model ?.
3. If you were granted three wishes in life what would you ask for?
4. Any historical event you wish never happened?
5. If you had the power to bring one historical figure alive , whom would you name?
6. If you won a lotto (is $ 10 million enough) , what would be the first think you would do?
7. Dream profession?
8. Favourite smell?
9. Favourite food?
10. Favourite dress?

Thank you shweetdreamz for your questions. I liked the way you said it Shahnaz bibi .... one of my uncles who lives in London, England still calls me bibi after my pet name .... as a child I used to get amused by it..... when he came to visit us ... back at home😳 ...

1-what are your dreams/ambitions in life? Being able (financially and physically)to give back to the society/humanity as a way to thank God for all the Wonderful gifts He gave me😊….

2-what sorts of tv shows/movies other than adhm are there that you enjoy? I amnot a TV person … I watch "Gilmore Girls", still like to watch "Boy Meets World" re-runs, used to watch "Friends" and "Seinfield" , JJKN, Kutumb, Naam Gam Jaayegee, Hasratein, loved Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, will watch again …. I don't have that much time to watch that much TV regularly I guess.

I watch movies a lot …. Mainly English and foreign movies …. I do not have the patience to watch 3 and hour long Hindi movies that often …. I go to the theater to watch Hindi movies just to give my friends company and to make their life miserable by making comments … they laugh at times. Some of my favorite movies are "A Beautiful Mind", "Forest Gump", "Rain Man", "Changing Lanes", "Kate and Leopold", Any Audrey Hepburn movie, Any Gregory Peck movie, "Gone with the wind", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Apollo 13", Any Good thrillers, "Matrix", "Lord Of the Rings" …. I can go on forever.


3-if you were given the chance to script ADHM serial for one day (from this point onwards ofcourse) and you could make any change in it...however big or small...what sort of changes will you make in the script? (i also wanted to ask "whynot" this question but it slipped my mind ) Are you sure you can handle it😉? I know you will say if it's PG 13 version it would be fine😃 …. Do you understand how difficult it is to provide a PG13 version when I am thinking 24/7 to marry Gaurav and Saumya in real life😕? OK let's see …. I would like to see several marathon kissing sessions with all different shades possible😆 … as diverse as us in this forum😳 …..a great opportunity for Gaurav to show his reel and real life skills😉…. And after seeing today's episode I am more than sure Saumya🤗 will not mind at all😳…… to put our souls at rest instead of making all of us restless😡. That's all I can change for a PG 13 version also I like them to stay in the bedroom most of the times.😆..... a rated R version😉 … but in Indian TV we are only allowed to see PG 5 version.

hey shanaz you and i are both number 4 (my bday's 4 and yours 22) so we had to think similarly!!!
I love "A beutiful mind". But just wanted to tell you that when you're free, read the book. Its also called "A beautiful mind" and is by Sylvia Nassar.... the book will change your perception of the film completely... the film has changed important facts about his life... will not spoil the book for you... but if you think you won't be able to get hold of the book then tell me (PM) and i'll write more about it to you.
Most of your fav movies are movies i like too, so am feeling very happy about that. 😛
Finally, Bangla bujhi paro, na??! great 😃 (i know very little bangla but folow it when spoken).
Will soon post my questions... couldn't stop reacting to your answers. 😉

Ok ab bach ke dikhao bachche. 😉
Of course, as always understood between friends, any question that makes you uncomfortable is immediately off bounds. 😊
you said in one anwser that you would like to give back to the community. What does giving back to the community mean to you?
what do you do on lazy Sunday afternoons? (or, since you work in a corporate set up, the proper question should be "Do you get lazy afternoons on Sunday?" 😉)
what are your emotional priorities?
what are your professional priorities?
you've mentioned travelling Europe. was that alone, with family or with 'someone special'?
you seem to know hollywood movies better than bollywood. is this true?
related question. have you ever been to india? oh and if you ever visit India now, you're going to stay with me in Delhi. no ifs and buts about it. 😃
if you could change some things about yourself, what would you change?
if you could change some things about the world, what would they be?
most trick question 😉. when i was MOTW, you asked me a lot of questions about the differences between technical and non technical people... how did you react to my answers? do you yourself think like the questions that you asked?
Finally, something that i've wanted to tell you for a long time. calling you Naaz comes very easily to me... in college we were a group of 7 close friends and one of us was Nazia, Naz to all of us. My Naz is happily married today and proud mom of my jaanu Rehaan. so my last question: what about you girl? anyone benefitting from your expert knowledge of love and relationships? 😉 😆 (would like to reiterate that its not binding to answer!!)
well, the grilling aint over yet... i'll be back 😉

Yes Lilly .... with you gals .... now that I know that guys are here too ... to be fair .... let me correct myself 😉.... with you guys and gals😳 ....life in indeed a bed of roses👏 .... I have tried my best to answer you questions .... thank you for asking........ I must say .... it's hard work my dear ... and I thought I knew myself 😕.... here you go...

1. Your take on religion and beleives ? ( will understand if you choose not to answer)

I have a religious soul … I am a believer … I believe in Taqdeer but I believe I have a choice too (within the context of course😃) …as my trust in God continuously reminds me that He is fair😊 …. He will never judge me if I do not have a choice … and at the end I am responsible for all my actions…. So I believe in the day of judgment.

Religion is an institution many people abuse for their own interest but faith is something that takes people close to God and that can never be misused. I feel institutions are very effective to guide people who do not want to think of their own but like to live in a harmonious society. For ordinary people the prescription is much needed as to how to please God quickly … that's why it works very well in societies.

My personal take on God is …. I try my best to love God than fear Him … Fear creates a distance and love make everything very easy… I do not mind following traditions as long as it does not conflict with my basic belief … that I will be accountable for all my deeds.

Also lastly … I do believe God tests us through our bad times and good times …. He tests our patience and trust in Him when we go through bad times and also most importantly (sometimes the rich and happy people forget this conveniently😕…) … He tests our true appreciation of his generosity when we go through good times.

2. Role model ?. I adored Mother Teressa🤗 …. My current role model is Bill and Melinda Gates ❤️…. I just love them …


3. If you were granted three wishes in life what would you ask for? (1)I would like to positively impact peoples live …. Big or small … so that they will remember me when I will be gone. (2)I wish I could some how change the way people think about power and revenge all the time in this world. (3) And bring peace to most disturbed region the middle east so that for a change people there can start dreaming again and the culture and history in that part of the world can be enjoyed by everyone in this world.


4. Any historical event you wish never happened? September 11th 2001 in US history … and whatever was the real reason behind it 😭😭😭


5. If you had the power to bring one historical figure alive , whom would you name? Mahatma Gandhi 👍🏼…. To show people how to avoid violence without compromising the outcome of the mission that seems impossible.


6. If you won a lotto (is $ 10 million enough) , what would be the first think you would do? Create a trust for homeless children❤️ and old people🤗.


7. Dream profession? I am very happy with my profession but I think I would have done very well in designing dresses for both men and women …. Where I would have definitely made Men's clothing more revealing and Women's more conservative😉 … so that women could have stayed mysterious😎 and Men would have worked very hard to maintain a good physique(like Gaurav....😉) to be able to wear those outfits and make all the women in these world very happy for a change😳 ….. hey it is our turn to enjoy👏….


8. Favourite smell? The smell of my loved ones off course …. But I think you asked about perfume …. Then it is "Beyond Paradise", "Red Door" and "Obsession"


9. Favourite food? I try many different types …. Only thing I am very particular about food is … it has to be cooked by the best cook … meaning not quantity… I believe in quality. So I am not at all in favor of American fast food …. I usually go to authentic restaurants … otherwise good and wholesome home cooked meals👏.


10. Favourite dress? …. I wear western outfits most of the times because where I live and the type of work I do ….. so I try to stay up to date with current fashion as long as they are not revealing. But I love Sarees the most …. I can wear a Saree anytime (like my friend Shwetal) … I prefer French Chiffon, French Lace and Pure Silk most of the times as these go very well with western settings. I wear traditional Sarees too … but only in Sub Continental settings.


11. Favourite line of wisdom? If Life gives you a lemon … make lemonade out of it😃 …. As Life is too precious to stop living even for a moment even when you are sad.
