i guess the message from motws so far is that if you are busy then do not commit to it. its very simple. this is to all future motws.

1- What does moomin mean?

The Moomins are a family of cuddly trolls found in the books of Tove Jansson. They are adorable!

2- "Har lehza hai moomin ki naae shaan naee aan". What does lehza means?

No idea.

3- In a paragraph, summarize who you are. I dont know you much.

I wouldn't know where to begin. I guess I'm serious, funny, inclined to get very angry, very quickly.

4- Name your 3 most favorite members so far

I hate picking favorites :-)

5- Name your 3 least favorite members so far.

Too contentious to answer

6- Pick 5 members and tell who they remind you of .

7- Best debater here and why

Too many, i can't just pick one! Return-to-Hades because she/he just strikes a balance of funny and logical, Birdie because he's incredibly witty, BD because I agree with her so much, aarya for her intelligent and succinct replies, -arti- because her replies are so impassioned, McNinja - doesn't reply often, but when she does I'm impressed. Freefalling has to be mentioned. I'm sure there are people I'm missing out, but I'll come back and update this bit.

I've been inactive from DM for a bit. So as your first task give me a quick overview of DM in the past few months. The newbies, the oldbies, your favorite members, members who irritate you most, your fav topics, most annoying topics, and what is with all the drama in Souro's MOTW. You know give me the 411, get me in and up to speed with DM again.

Most likely, yes.

I don't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for you 😆 😛 🤗

Sigh!

Glad to see you finally took a break from the papers and made it here! 🤗

Ok, here are a few questions for now.

1) If you had the option to not read your paper or work on your PhD right now (or maybe if you could stop time), what (or who) would you be doing right now .. and where .. and why .. and for how long?

I could sex this up but I'll be honest, if I didn't have to read freaking papers I would love to have a nice peaceful and long sleep. Snoozing for a good solid 10 hours!

2) Your advisor (and the rest of your thesis committee) grants you three wishes .. what would you ask for 😛

Can you please grant me an IQ of 300

If not can someone intelligent come and do the work for my thesis for me...and let me have credit?

Can I have a few months off for a holiday??

3) Your question back to you .. up or down, front or back.. and I want to add, big or small 😛

Up and down and front and back. 😆

Big. Very big.

4) What's the one quality you hate in people? What's the one quality you love in them?

I hate people who are indecisive, because I'm incapable of making decisions myself! I love people who are comfortable in their own skin.

5) What attracts you in men?

Intelligence, good humour, beautiful brown eyes.

6) What does (filial, platonic and sexual) love mean to you?

Filial love is the love s child has for a parent...platonic love is love for a friend that doesn't involve any sexuasl feeling. Sexual love is a passionate, torrid love.

I will be back with more 😛

Moomin, Congrats for being the debater of the week.

The questions:

1. When I ask you a question, 'Have you eaten the cake?' your answer can be 'Yes' or 'No'. Both the answers mean exactly opposite. You have to frame a question for which the answer is 'Yes' or 'No' but both the answers must mean exactly the same thing.

It's too conphusing! 😭

How about, 'Does it look like I've eaten the cake?' 😆

2. What is your opinion about me?

A nice guy with emphatic opinions.

3. What advice you will have for me?

Just chill.

Enjoy,
