On your sex appeal
I haven't the faintest idea, actually... I really have no clue why women give me the time of day but, hell, I am not complaining!! I'm really not aware that there's anything fascinating about me.. I'm a fairly ordinary kind of a guy.. And I am sure if I knew what it was, I would get so conscious of it that it would ruin things (laughs).

How girls react to you
They react well, I guess... I am told I have an okay sense of humour. I make them feel safe and above all that, I'm told that I'm quite the upright kinda guy. Now whoever thought that'd
work! (Laughs).

Your first date
Under a tree near a hospital in Nainital. It was the beginning of winter ……. Well, that's all that
I'm telling.

Your first crush
I really can't remember. One likes so many things about so many people, and adolescence is really a time when your hormones do all the thinking for you. Plenty of crushes came and went, but nothing serious until I was in my late teens, when I met this girl at an IPSC event. It took me five whole years to ask her out. Thank God it worked!

Your most cherished compliment
That I am what people ought to be. I guess that's the best compliment someone can give you: that they think you're an IDEAL guy. incidentally,
I got that compliment from the same girl mentioned above.

Your wildest compliment
I guess I've gotten some really wacky one's in my time. The best, I think, is that I've got a real "turn-on-tool" for a voice. I get that one a lot, somehow. Watch Kulvaddhu and tell me if you agree (laughs).

Love & romance..
I think people have somehow gotten fixated on the notion that romance in the classical sense is overrated. The more modern we get, the more cynical we become.. Personally.. I'm a bit of a romantic (not that I'll ever admit it again!). Love definitely is something to be valued, never taken for granted, and to be given freely, fearlessly, and unconditionally always.

Lust...
Is great, as long as I am at the receiving end! In that case, I'm all for it! (Laughs). Actually, it's
a great thing, but only when combined with responsibility

On a nudist beach
I don't like those. I find I'm more exited by a woman when she leaves a lot up to my imagination.

What if a girl made a pass at you?
I'd love it! I thrive on affection and admiration. It's always nice to feel liked, and attractive, I guess. And, when you're as ugly as me, you take every bit of flattery with gratitude!

Would you ask a girl out if you liked her but didn't know her well?
Sure! I'm never too quick to judge people. I like to get to know a person and form an opinion gradually. Heaven knows, it may turn out to be really nice. Sure, I would ask her, and see where it goes, what's she like. I'd keep it simple for the first week or so. That way, If I like her, I can take things further. If she turns out to be to the kind of person I don't fancy spending more time and energy on, I could always bow out in a civil manner, and not be stuck in something that may cause grief to both.

What if you fell short of money on a date?
I'd go only to a place I can afford. I do not allow a lady to pay for me ever! I'm a bit old fashioned that way. I really admire ambitious women, who are focused on their careers and dedicated to it. But I'd never rely on my girl for anything at all. That's my job.

Your dream date –
Anne Hathaway at Caf Coffee Day on Carter road with Cappuccino to top it.

Would you dress to impress a girl?
Sure... or I'd lose the right to want her to dress up for me... It's the best expression of how much you think of someone - to look your best for them. it's an underhanded compliment to the person in question that you consider them worth the effort.

Flirtations...
You mean philandering? No! I'm strictly a monogamist. I don't understand how people can adulterate or dilute their affections by having multiple romantic interests. If I were seeing someone, I would invest all my energies in that one person. Otherwise, why would I be there to begin with?

Marriage...
It means responsibility. To be responsible for the welfare of your partner, in every sense, and that of your issue. Either do it absolutely right, or not at all.

What if your girl caught you with your pants down?
She wouldn't! Ever! I'm completely faithful to any woman I date.

Your wildest bedroom fantasy
(Laughs) Wouldn't you really like to know? All that I'll say is that it involves things that are best not put in print.

Are woman a necessary evil?
Women aren't evil, don't be silly. Women are necessary. Period.
