Hi Ms. Mount (MT).......Mystery Toe Rekha ji from delhi,
Congrats for being the bakri of the week BOTW. I must say you are doing an excellent job of answering all the qs. Keep up the wonderful job of updating for us pardesies. I have hardly watched a couple of episodes of KS but try to read your updates when ever time permits. Its great to be a part of this group that's absolutely crazy, fun loving yet dynamic and vivid. I have become a silent members except for a murmur now and then coz I'm suffering from compulsive work disorder. So you must be wondering what am I doing up so late at night.....Tring tring.....Woke up, fell out of bed, hearing the word Data mart crashed and then jumped out of bed and found my way downstairs so now me & my lappy at work. Came here for some change & noticed that my mystery queen is in the hot seat. Hope I'm not late in asking you my qs. Fasten your seat belt & come for agni pariksha.......YALGAR HO!!
Thank you Mink! There are a number of silent spectators on IF......you guys should come out in the open more often.....the forum and IF needs you people
1) Would you marry again if you found a man who had fifteen million dollars, would sign over half to you and guarantee that he'd be dead within a year lol. Yes or No explain why?
Why wait for a year? I would get him totally drunk, seduce him, get him to sign over all his money in my name and get him murdered immediately! Problem solved!
2) If you get a chance to visit the Tajmahal will you just enjoy the beauty of Taj & think that it represents LOVE dedication artistry or will you sit & perfer to do mobile computing (googling abt Taj) sitting in front of it and thinking abt the wonders of computing. Explain in a few words
I have been to the TAJ atleast 2 dozen times in my lifetime......infact my hubby and I spent our first wedding anniversary there! And surprisingly the Taj casts a mesmerizing spell over you, every time you visit the monument....and this is coming from a complete cynic like me! Every time I go to the Taj, I just keep staring at it for hours, thinking how lucky Mumtaz Mahal must have been to have found a husband who never let his beloved's memory fade away, from his heart and from the World, even 20 years after her Death! (I tried to pen a funny answer to this one, but couldn't......the Taj holds a special place for me and perhaps in the Heart of every Indian )
3) Is there anything important enough to risk your life for? If yes what is it?
For a mother, there has to be only one thing worth risking everything for....her child!
4) Is there something you've dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven't you done it?
I have always wanted to have an extra-marital affair....with a hot, handsome, younger man......I haven't done it because for that I would have to undergo a very expensive full-body and face cosmetic surgery (to hook such a man)....and my piggy bank doesn't have enough money to support that!
5) What's the dumbest purchase you've ever made?
A hideously expensive, extremely unpractical, satin red negligee.......for my honeymoon! Thankfully, I tried it on beforehand and after looking at the grotesque image in the mirror, happily gave it to a friend.....and thank god for that, cause if my hubby would have seen me in it, I would surely not have been married for half a decade now! I spent a bomb on the purchase and have lived to regret it till date!
6) What do you like best about your life? Least?
The fact that I can stay at home and see my child growing up every moment of the day! Seriously, its like sitting in the front row of life and seeing history created everyday through your child....such is the pleasure of Motherhood!
Paradoxically the thing I like least about my life is the fact that my family has become my oyster......I miss my financial and social independence which my job gave me!
7) What has been the biggest disappointment in your life?
None!
8) What is the greatest accomplishment of your life apart from passing your math exam in 10th grade?
Finding a man like my husband and getting married to him!
9) What is the most romantic present anyone has ever given you?
Flowers....what else? Men have the imagination of a broiler-chicken when it comes to giving presents to women
10) What is a friend to you and what qualities should a good friend possess?
A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire. We know our friends more through their defects rather than their merits! Hence, I can only write what I wouldn't want to see in my friend rather than what I would like to see in him / her!
11) Would you like to be immortal? Why and why not?
Not at all...Nature gives and takes back life and surely has a reason to do so! Why imbalance something that God has so perfectly created? And besides, I am a patriotic person and have no interest in further increasing my country's population by not dying on time!
12) What is ur idea of a perfect married couple?
Two imperfect individuals coming together to make a perfect whole, would define my idea of a perfect married couple!
13) We all know by now that you are a creative minded person let us know are you a day dreamer or a very practical person?
I try and hard to be a practical person but unfortunately, I am quite a "Mungerilal" in reality....
14) If everyone on earth looked exactly the same - your two/three sentence views on this.
Procreation would come to a full-stop! I mean who the hell wants to have sex with a person who reminds you of yourself!
15) If you could travel forward or backward in time would you choose to go forward / backward and why?
Definitely backward.....if lucky, destiny and good health prevail, I will live to see the future.....but the past is something that I will never be able to know!
16) Do we have souls or are our personalities by-products of our brain development?
17) Tell me briefly, is man more dependent on women then women on man?
A man likes to think that a woman is more dependent on him, while a woman likes to make a man think that she is indeed more dependent on him We all know what the truth is, isn't it!
18) What's needed to become a great writer?
Oh nothing really…..just break into Vikram Seth's house when he is not around and steal any of his forthcoming manuscript and give it to a publisher by the break of dawn! Just make sure, to change the author's name!
19) What is the one thing you treasure?
My childhood memories!
20) How do you imagine yourself riding across the universe on a photon beam of light?
Only when I am high on dope!
21) What if you could take formless energy and instantly shape it into any physical thing you desired?
You live in the US, right? Well, if the above could come true, you would probably lose your beloved President! I would take the shape of Osama and land up in the Oval Office at the White House and Wham…Wham….Bang…..the world is suddenly a better place!
22) What do u think about love? If you were a person of pure unconditional love, how would you think, feel and act, and how different would your life be?
Love is the only emotion which can become the biggest high of your life or lead you to the depths of despair! Love is the second most powerful emotion a human being can experience after Hatred! No human being is ever capable of pure, unconditional love…….such a love can only be experienced by Dogs!
23) What is Flirting according to you? Do you think it is healthy?
Flirting is the biggest ego-booster ever invented by a man for women! And anything that makes a woman feel younger, happier and attractive is bound to be healthy….at least from her point of view!
24) (Fr Flirting lets get to hero worship...grinnnnn lol)Do you have a hero, or a person whose example you try to follow in your own life?
Every Father is a girl's first love and also her first hero / idol! I used to idolize my dad a lot and till date no one has been able to take his place!
25) Do u like philosophy? Whose ur favorite philosopher?
I had philosophy as a major subject in College, can't say I liked it too much, though! But amongst the lot I studied, I used to find Gandhian Philosophy to be the closest to my heart! Practical to follow, easy to learn and very close to true life!
26) Do u like Poetry? Whose ur favorite poet?
I like poetry a lot! Wordworth has always been my favourite poet! My favourite Wordsworth poem has been "Anecdote for Fathers"….its a must read for all parents!
27) Which is the last book you have read and what you liked abt it?
Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat! It was totally howlarious! The book was funny in a dark sort of way, very racy and extremely nostalgic as the story of the book was based in Delhi and reminded me of my College days! It's a must read!
28) "Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardour and attended to with diligence." Explain why?
Everything that gives you something in return has to be followed with ardor and attended to with diligence as you so fancily penned! Same goes with learning also!
29) What is fame according to you?
Very fickle indeed!
30) What do you think is the true measure of a man? Is it how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good agree or disagree.
Yes! The true measure of a man is the way he treats people who have no bearing on his life, have never done him any good and don't owe him anything…if he still gives them a basic respect and dignity that every human being deserves….then truly he is a man of great measure!
Answers these with Yes or No
1. The self is a conceptual chimera

Depends! Existence might signify many things to many people! For some it might mean only living and for some it might mean their whole lives!
9. Truth's the blues but lies have fun
Yes, hate to admit it, but yes! There is nothing more satisfying than telling a good lie and getting away with it!
10.Your relationships with people are made difficult by your tendency to talk first and think later.

Keeping with the traditions of the panga family......some nonsense questions answer them if they make sense to you:
1. If you get a beer belly by drinking beer, do you get a pot belly by smoking pot?
No, smoking pot will usually lead to a quick termination of your life….hence the need for a belly, pot or otherwise will be automatically eliminated!
2. Did Adam and Eve have navels?
Will ask them, incase I bump into them at the "Eden Garden."
3. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?
If you were from Holland, would you liked to be called a Hole?
5. If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...Does
that mean the fifth one enjoys it?
The only answer to this can be if every third person in the World is a Chinese, does that mean there is a Chinese in every family consisting of 4 people?
6-Is there another word for synonym?
Adequation, agreement, alikeness, compatibility, conformity, correlation, correspondence, equality, evenness, exchangeability, identity, interchangeability, interchangeableness, likeness, match, par, parallel, parity, similarity, synonym, synonymy – Take your pick, Mini!
7-Would a fly without wings be called a walk?
No it would be called dead cause u could hit with a fly swat, cause it couldn't fly away!
8-Why is there an expiration date on sour cream?
Try consuming one which has gone past its expiration date and then you would know the answer for yourself!
9-How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Assassination usually suggests Pre-meditation to commit murder, where as murder is typically not that thoroughly planed. Then it's up to the news papers to decide. I'd say anyone with a public presence.
10-If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?
Both originate from the Latin word Branca which translates to "Paw", or a position geographically different from the parent organization.
11-If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
Only if it's the judge that is deaf does it no longer have the right to be called a hearing. Along same lines as "tree falls in wood, no one there to hear it."
12-Why are you "in" a movie, but you're "on" TV?
I can't possibly answer that, I have been on neither!
13-Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
Have you ever seen a round box in your life?
14-Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavoring, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Making dishwashing liquid with real lemons because the acid in it can take the grease and stuff of the plates easier than the fake stuff can. Drinking stuff with fake lemon juice is probably better for your stomach and intestines than the real stuff anyway.
15-If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting?
16-How can the weather be "hot as hell" one day and "cold as hell" another?
Possibly because Hell has only two weather's to be enjoyed!
17-Why do they call it a TV "set" when you only get one?
Possibly because you end up becoming a part of the Idiot box as soon as it comes in your life…and hence the term set!
18-Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?
19-If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?
If that was not the case, then human beings would have inhabited the numerous Zoological parks in the World! God decided to spare other animals the company of human being's in the one place where they are safe!
20-Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called "rush hour"?
Because everyone is in a rush to reach Office? Couldn't pen a better reply for this!

An exhausted Kangaroo!
22-What is the most slippery country in the world?
Greece!
23-What might you eat in Paris ?
The Trifle Tower!

Missle-toe!
25-Who was the best actor in the bible ?
Samson….he brought the house down!
Now tell me.......How does it feel to be MOTD (feel like strangulating me!)?
Will send a Letter bomb through Dubaya for you! (For the uninitiated, Dubaya refers to Bushy baby in India!)
Lastly, judge a person by her questions !
But never a person by her answers!
Cheers,
Mini
