Answers to Autumji's wonderful 'makes you think' questions:

1) Why is the world round?

Scientifically speaking it is so it can spin on its axis and rotate around so we get our different seasons, climates and time zones. Something like that my days of understanding physics are over. Phew, I left that behind in high school!

2) Love and Hate, do they go together?

You mean like two sides of the same coin. I do not agree when people say there is a thin line between love and hate; that is referring to whether you choose to show love or hatred but in the true sense of the emotion it is not easy to switch off and start liking someone you loathe. Of course it never stops fake people pretending to be peachy with those they dislike. It is easy to hate someone and pick out all their flaws but it is harder to maintain your genuine affection towards someone as how many of us can say we truly abide by our love, be it to our parents, siblings, relatives etc. As we move ahead in life and start our own families one tends to drift apart from those ties, unintentionally or maybe intentionally for those that crave independence. We enter this life alone and we leave it alone too. Only one who loves us unconditionally is God but not everyone reciprocates that love. Err sorry went off on a tangent there. Forgive me; I do not even think I made sense. Hehe.

3) What do you feel is the major difference between these two jodis DK (Dev Kaajjal) and SK (Sujal-Kashish)? I am not asking you to choose a better one, but since you like them both, put down the important differences!

Let me see now. Kaajjal until her amnesia episode was more loyal and obsessed with her lover than Kashish. In Kashish's case it was Sujal who was devoted to her and he'd constantly try to obtain his love. Kashish was more preoccupied with pleasing society and her family while Kajal is fearless in that sense as she says that her heart belongs only to Dev and her actions go accordingly. I'm discounting her recent stint with Adi as she is not in her senses.
SK also had that typical Kekta mai formula of adding the revenge element to the relationship, which thankfully DK have not stooped to.

Dev has a pessimistic outlook on his own life, cursing his own fate which is something Sujal often used to do. Both men suffered their fare share of woes and were misunderstood by their lady loves. Although, DPS's pain is far greater in comparison to Sujal's as Sujal never lost his pillar of support, his mother.

At the end of the day it was the chemistry of the lead pairs that made me a fan. And even though the women had the ability to make or break their men; ultimately they always want their happiness. This lies with them being with each other.

4) Write down an incident in your life which you will never forget for the rest of your life!

None yet. My memory is like a fish; 3 secs and its gone. I try not to dwell on bad things and as of yet there is nothing spectacular to recall from the good memories.

5) Do you think that women are better cooks than men? Why?

Not necessarily, most celebrity TV chefs and restaurant master chefs are male. Perhaps that is a reflection of society that women are still excluded from the top jobs even in fields which are considered their forte like cooking. Nonetheless cooking is about enthusiasm, if one has the passion to learn and cook then it is splendid but typically it's the women's role to cater for the family so even if you are not a good cook, practice makes perfect!

Superb answer!!!! Thank God, no more studying or school!!! I hate giving exams!!!!😉 BTW I am a Physics Major!!😆😆

Complete sense, shows how sane and sensible you are girl!!! Beautiful answer! 👏👏

Once again, you have made the point! Had I had to answer that though, I would say no two jodis can be compared!! Each's union is love worthy and unique in its own sense! But Superb answer again! And as you said, its due to the chemistry they portray, that makes us the jodi-fans!!!!😊😊😊

4) Write down an incident in your life which you will never forget for the rest of your life!

None yet. My memory is like a fish; 3 secs and its gone. I try not to dwell on bad things and as of yet there is nothing spectacular to recall from the good memories.

Good for you, forgive and forget is my policy! It prevents heartache anywhere!!! Very well said pardesi!!!!!👏

Oops and i was pretending like i actually understood all that mumbo jumbo.😆 I hate coursework, i prefer the one off pressure of exams. 😳

Absolutely, di your succint answer was far more beautiful. 👏 I guess until you experience that kind of love you can only imagine it.😳


5) Do you think that women are better cooks than men? Why?

I agree completely!!!! Mine would be the same answer, most men are good cooks! Women cook mostly because they are usually if from our culture, then are expected to know cooking but Men when they cook, they put their hearts into it!! And as you said so rightly, practice makes perfect!!!

Right again. Men are more passionate cooks and they are more daring with experimenting in the kitchen so their recipes are more fun to try!😳

Oh pardesi, very very beautiful answers and thank you for spending precious time and answering them. Thanks again. I enjoyed yours answers as much as you liked answering them! Great job!! Enjoy your hot-seat!!!😊

Honestly the pleasure was all mine. It was your beautiful questions which elicited such answers as its showed your intelligence and sense with asking open-ended questions. Any answer would suffice. 😳 Thanks again. 🤗

chameli Fiesty, independent, bossy, pretty and high-spirited


27) describe the following people in a paragraph.. This is going to be the embarrassing part when I realise I don't know all the members very well. My fault should have taken part in MOTW more often.
Rashi (me) As far as I can tell your sweet, jovial and fun-loving. And you make up threads for everyone to have some masti.


jyothi Dedicated member keeps the forum running smoothly, humourous and extremely friendly. She never fails to make every member feel included. Bole tho she is rapchik..


sharna Delightfully considerate and another great Dev ki deewani who writes with such fervour regarding our loveable DK jodi.


mansi Tremendous analyst. I miss her updates as her ending comments would be intriguing. She writes very eloquently.


pinkbubblez Highly creative and generous as she shares her works of art with us all.


autumnleaf Autumnji is sage (wise). I find her posts very interesting to read. She is the perfect blend of great sense and playful nature as she can analyse something with an objective perspective in one moment and then being describing Apu as a delicious delicacy the next.


duddleysam Great sense of humour. I've read her fanfic but unable to post my thoughts as I'm still catching up but she has a lovely style of depicting DK's romance.


hema Di is fabulous. She always writes straight from the heart, her wise words and pure devotion to Apurva is remarkable. She writes only when she feels it is worthwhile to comment and when she does you are left in awe.


sharmi She's rocking. Incredibly witty and intellectual and her posts always keeps me amused and she has this way of analysing everything succinctly. She'll make even the most boring and depressing things turn into reasons to laugh. I get very positive vibes from Sharmi.

Ruhi The biggest Surveen Chawla fan i've come across. Pleasant and friendly with a charming username.

Forgive me for not knowing enough about these members to comment e.g. Nikki, and Janki.

I would like to say that I admire how eloquently Payal (Indian Pari) and Kashish (thesaint148) write too. It is always a pleasure reading their mature posts as their words are heartfelt. And they are warm and friendly personalities.


28) name your closest friends on IF... and say why they are your closest friends..
I don't like to name names incase I miss someone out, they know who they are and why they are.

29) your hobbies are? Being on I-F and watching movies/tv.
30) where is your dream vacation? Canada, India, Italy and NYC. I will have to visit these places before I die. hehe

Just write down the first word after u read each statemant the first word that cums in ur mind!

31) hot or cold Hot
32) up or down Down
33) north or south North
34) east or west East
35) vainilla or chocolate Chocolate
36) coca cola or pepsi Coca cola
37) black or white Black
38) summer or winter Summer
39) dev or raju Dev
40) dev sir or armaan sir Dev Sir
41) dev and kaajjal or apruva and shilpa DK, I'm not a SandA fan but I do like Shilpa, she is pretty, articulate and does a good job as Ganga. Quite a confidant TV Host too.
42) shrukhan or apurva agnihotri Haila, this is too much, but i fell in love with SRK first. Woh mere pehle pyar hai. 😳 Apu was after in Pardes but Baazigar and Daar came first.
43) tellywood or bollywood Both, if more telly wood actors would get a break in Bollywood then they would benefit from gaining some truly talented actors rather then letting the industry grow with the descendants of star families.

The thing that describles u:

44) funny or serious Serious
45) optimistic or pesimistic Pessimistic
46) fast or slow Slow thinker..lol
47) books or magazines A good Book can hold my attention for hours but a mag is just momentary time pass for the pics and celeb interviews
48) sandals or shoes Shoes
49) jeans or skirts Jeans
50) long nails or short nails Long

I think these r enough! If u need more always feel free to ask! lol!

Once again!
Congrations!
Enjoy the hot seat!
