Congrats! Here's my list of questions!!!!! Have fun answering!
What do you value most in life?

2-Do believe that people are inherently good or bad?

3-What is your greatest regret?

4-What do you see as your greatest achievement?

5-How do you deal with someone you don't like?

6-What do you feel you are entitled to in life?

7-What's your favourite song?

8-What are your feelings regarding God?

9-How do you personally define "Right" from "Wrong"?

10. You have won a prize. The prize has two options, and you can choose either (but not both). The first option is a year in Europe with a monthly stipend of $2,000. The second option is ten minutes on the moon.

Which option do you select?

11. Your best friend is taking a nap on the floor of your living room. Suddenly, you are faced with a bizarre existential problem: This friend is going to die unless you kick them (as hard as you can) in the rib cage. If you don't kick them while they slumber, they will never wake up. However, you can never explain this to your friend; if you later inform them that you did this to save their life, they will also die from that. So you have to kick a sleeping friend in the ribs, and you can't tell them why.

Since you cannot tell your friend the truth, what excuse will you fabricate to explain this (seemingly inexplicable) attack?


12. For whatever the reason, two unauthorized movies are made about your life. The first is an independently released documentary, primarily comprised of interviews with people who know you and bootleg footage from your actual life. Critics are describing the documentary as "brutally honest and relentlessly fair." Meanwhile, Columbia Tri-Star has produced a big-budget biopic of your life, casting major Hollywood stars as you and all your acquaintances; though the movie is based on actual events, screenwriters have taken some liberties with the facts. Critics are split on the artistic merits of this fictionalized account, but audiences love it.

Which film would you be most interested in seeing?

13. You are sitting in an empty bar (in a town you've never before visited), drinking Bacardi with a soft-spoken acquaintance you barely know. After an hour, a third individual walks into the tavern and sits by himself, and you ask your acquaintance who the new man is. "Be careful of that guy," you are told. "He is a man with a past." A few minutes later, a fourth person enters the bar; he also sits alone. You ask your acquaintance who this new individual is. "Be careful of that guy, too," he says. "He is a man with no past."

Which of these two people do you trust less?

14. You have a brain tumor. Though there is no discomfort at the moment, this tumor would unquestionably kill you in six months. However, your life can (and will) be saved by an operation; the only downside is that there will be a brutal incision to your frontal lobe. After the surgery, you will be significantly less intelligent. You will still be a fully functioning adult, but you will be less logical, you will have a terrible memory, and you will have little ability to understand complex concepts or difficult ideas. The surgery is in two weeks.

How do you spend the next fourteen days?

15. For reasons that cannot be explained, cats can suddenly read at a twelfth-grade level. They can't talk and they can't write, but they can read silently and understand the text. Many cats love this new skill, because they now have something to do all day while they lay around the house; however, a few cats become depressed, because reading forces them to realize the limitations of their existence (not to mention the utter frustration of being unable to express themselves).

This being the case, do you think the average cat would enjoy Garfield, or would cats find this cartoon to be an insulting caricature?

16. Let us assume you met a rudimentary magician. Let us assume he can do five simple tricks--he can pull a rabbit out of his hat, he can make a coin disappear, he can turn the ace of spades into the Joker card, and two others in a similar vein. These are his only tricks and he can't learn any more; he can only do these five. HOWEVER, it turns out he's doing these five tricks with real magic. It's not an illusion; he can actually conjure the bunny out of the ether and he can move the coin through space. He's legitimately magical, but extremely limited in scope and influence.

Would this person be more impressive than Albert Einstein?

17. What is your favorite color?

If you had a chance to spend 1/2 hr with JKR , what would discuss and where would you choose to spend the time ?
Hmm...okay, I would definitely choose to spend the time on the set of the 6th movie...that way I could meet all the actors/actresses after I'm done talking with her!! I think I would ask her some of these questions:

Favorite character in Harry Potter other than the trio?
Her favorite villain?
What she thinks of the movies?
How she got the ideas for her charcter's names...places...shops...and how she got the name for Hogwarts!
Umm...what book/movie is her favorite, if she based off the characters of anyone she knows in real life...
And why she made the people who died die, I mean...Hedwig died!! That was so sad! 😭
This is all I could think of this moment....
Have a nice day ahead!
Thanks a bunch, you too!

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
What do you value most in life?Hmm...Okay this is hard...but I would say family. If you mean qualities, I think the most important qualities are loyalty, honesty, compassion, and a sense of justice...One can't exist without the other :)

2-Do believe that people are inherently good or bad? I believe that people are born again to re live the injustice/ justice they have done in past lives, so either...but they are always born because of the deeds they have done.

3-What is your greatest regret? My greatest regret...hmm...when I left India to go back home, I didn't get a chance to say more to my grandfather..A couple days later we recieved note that he had died...It was very sad

4-What do you see as your greatest achievement? Going to state spelling bee

5-How do you deal with someone you don't like? 😆 Okay, I know I seem like a bad person when I say this...but I pretend that I'm listening to them, but then yell and scream at them inside my head. If they go to far, I always act calm and controlled until they blow up...That way I look like a good person :) hehe...

6-What do you feel you are entitled to in life? Hmm...a happy, fulfilling life is all I can ask for :) But no one can escape some dissapointments... 😊

7-What's your favourite song? Indian - Oh Jiji from Vivah movie...hehe...I love that song 😆
American - Sorry by the Jonas Brothers

8-What are your feelings regarding God? I love God 😃 I know I'm cheesy, but I always turn to God at times I need help or just when I normally pray. I am also on the Ramayan/Mahabharat forum sometimes...

9-How do you personally define "Right" from "Wrong"? Those who do right know when someone is doing something wrong. Those who do something wrong know that they're not doing something right...Unless of course, something is wrong with the person's mind...

10. You have won a prize. The prize has two options, and you can choose either (but not both). The first option is a year in Europe with a monthly stipend of $2,000. The second option is ten minutes on the moon.

Which option do you select? Ten minutes on the moon, the experience would be too thrilling to give up!

11. Your best friend is taking a nap on the floor of your living room. Suddenly, you are faced with a bizarre existential problem: This friend is going to die unless you kick them (as hard as you can) in the rib cage. If you don't kick them while they slumber, they will never wake up. However, you can never explain this to your friend; if you later inform them that you did this to save their life, they will also die from that. So you have to kick a sleeping friend in the ribs, and you can't tell them why.

Since you cannot tell your friend the truth, what excuse will you fabricate to explain this (seemingly inexplicable) attack? Haha 😆 What a funny question! Okay, first I would take all the fans in the house and place them outside the windows, turning them on with the outlets outside...Then I would kick my friend real hard in the ribs and tell her that there's a bad wind storm outside and that she should leave immediately before it gets bad.
OR
I would just kick her and when she wakes up, laugh...We do stuff like that 😆 They don't take offense..trust me, hehe

12. For whatever the reason, two unauthorized movies are made about your life. The first is an independently released documentary, primarily comprised of interviews with people who know you and bootleg footage from your actual life. Critics are describing the documentary as "brutally honest and relentlessly fair." Meanwhile, Columbia Tri-Star has produced a big-budget biopic of your life, casting major Hollywood stars as you and all your acquaintances; though the movie is based on actual events, screenwriters have taken some liberties with the facts. Critics are split on the artistic merits of this fictionalized account, but audiences love it.

Which film would you be most interested in seeing? The second option, I hate seeing myself and screen..hehe

13. You are sitting in an empty bar (in a town you've never before visited), drinking Bacardi with a soft-spoken acquaintance you barely know. After an hour, a third individual walks into the tavern and sits by himself, and you ask your acquaintance who the new man is. "Be careful of that guy," you are told. "He is a man with a past." A few minutes later, a fourth person enters the bar; he also sits alone. You ask your acquaintance who this new individual is. "Be careful of that guy, too," he says. "He is a man with no past."

Which of these two people do you trust less? The man with no past, becaus he may not have any feelings because of his empty past, and may do whatever he pleases

14. You have a brain tumor. Though there is no discomfort at the moment, this tumor would unquestionably kill you in six months. However, your life can (and will) be saved by an operation; the only downside is that there will be a brutal incision to your frontal lobe. After the surgery, you will be significantly less intelligent. You will still be a fully functioning adult, but you will be less logical, you will have a terrible memory, and you will have little ability to understand complex concepts or difficult ideas. The surgery is in two weeks.

How do you spend the next fourteen days? Praying that the affect of the surgery will be atleast a bit better than they said, and that it would be a success...also...I would write letters to every person I know explaining my condition, and letting them know to not forget me...I would also take many videotapes of myself so I can remember me before the operation...I think that's pretty much it...

15. For reasons that cannot be explained, cats can suddenly read at a twelfth-grade level. They can't talk and they can't write, but they can read silently and understand the text. Many cats love this new skill, because they now have something to do all day while they lay around the house; however, a few cats become depressed, because reading forces them to realize the limitations of their existence (not to mention the utter frustration of being unable to express themselves).

This being the case, do you think the average cat would enjoy Garfield, or would cats find this cartoon to be an insulting caricature? I think they would find it insulting and depressing, to not be able to do what he can...yet he is the same species...I would find it frustrating

16. Let us assume you met a rudimentary magician. Let us assume he can do five simple tricks--he can pull a rabbit out of his hat, he can make a coin disappear, he can turn the ace of spades into the Joker card, and two others in a similar vein. These are his only tricks and he can't learn any more; he can only do these five. HOWEVER, it turns out he's doing these five tricks with real magic. It's not an illusion; he can actually conjure the bunny out of the ether and he can move the coin through space. He's legitimately magical, but extremely limited in scope and influence.

Would this person be more impressive than Albert Einstein? Hmm...I think everyone has talent, but to be truly magical is a gift...so he could be :) It depends on how you look it at it...but at the same time, Einstein achieved so much without being magical...so I would have to say both are impressive!

17. What is your favorite color? Black and Green, I can't decide :)
Thanks a bunch for your question!!! I really enjoyed them :)
