Namaskar, Hello, bonjour, bonjuerno, Hola,Hallo, Adam, Satsriakal, Namaste, Salem-alekum and finally

HIII

Since I am going out of town, so I am posting the new bakri for you guys to be grilled again. This time another DM veteran, though MIA for a while, recently returned with sporadic activities.

krystal_watz

Congratulations. This may not be extravagant creation, but a little present from my side, to put in your sig box to signal, you are our designated bakra.

and Now for the start up questions

Your name: Can't reveal it here.

The first letter of your name and surname( if you don't answer above question): DB

The reason behind your ID: I was in a bind between "Krystal" and "Watzername" to choose for my ID when I first thought of joining IF. Eventually, I decided to combine the two and make it krystal_watzername. For some reason, I couldn't type after "krystal_watz" (probably some glitch). I decided to go ahead with what I'd typed, and following that, krystal_watz's glorious birth on IF came to be celebrated. 😛

How did you first join IF: I found out about IF while searching for a place to discuss about the erstwhile StarOne soap Miley Jab Hum Tum. I was a silent reader for quite a few months before I finally decided to take the plunge and join the place.

How often do you login: Quite often. Don't post as frequently though.

Your experience in IF so far: Mixed. Have had the usual share of fights and buddy-ships. One thing is beyond all doubt, this place is helluva addictive as generations of IFers can testify. 😆

A nice moment of your life on IF: When my Birthday thread was opened for the first time on IF, specifically Debate Mansion.

Your worst nightmare on IF: Nothing. Nothing I've encountered on IF has the power to be a nightmare for moi. 😆

[FONT=Verdana] Few friends on IF who share the same wavelength: Shad, fair_n_luvly, Souro.

What other forums you visit other than DM: Sony and Colors TV forums.

Why are you attracted towards DM: This place is arguably the best section on IF. There are a plethora of interesting and relevant debates to choose from---ranging from the extremely serious to the mundane-but-important. People are quite open-minded,witty, cordial and above everything, very informed. The Debates invigorate you and enable you to learn diverse and relevant information, sometimes information you'd never come across normally outside of books and research articles. It's a fresh breath of air compared to the rest of IF. To be honest, I joined IF for a different reason (specified above), but it was really THIS PLACE that got me acquainted with IF in the true sense and made me a regular here.

Does the level of Debate here meet your expectation? If yes, do you want to give input to make it better? If no, same question: Most of the time, it does. Sometimes, light-hearted topics become too spam-y, something which I think needs to be reduced as it can get really annoying.

Your favorite past-time: Reading and watching TV.

Are you a couch potato or busy Bee: The former currently, soon to convert to the latter. 😆

What are the activities you do, if you are busy bee: Study, study and study. I rarely get busy on anything else, least of all housework. 😛

What do you usually do, sitting on couch? just browse IF or others as well: Facebook, Yahoo Answers, IMDB and Wikipedia are some of the sites I regularly browse apart from IF.

favorite quote if any: "I won't pray to you to save me from the danger, but from the Fear of it".

Virtual or real: Real, any day.

PS: Check this to know who is next,( yours truly included in list). If I have missed you, do leave a note there/pm me and you will be added to the list as per your time convenience

16. Who in your mind a better debater overall (on average) from Mr. K or RTH and why-- BTV, Me, Angie, King Anu. They're usually the most articulate of the lot. (forgive the vanity, do. 😛). Then there are others like Rehanism and Arwen but they don't post much (or do they?)

20. who comes out as fake, unclear and why --- RTH at times (unclear) and WA (fake).

21. who has the potential to do extra-ordinary thing in life and why --- Everybody does.No idea about anyone's secret abilities in particular. Can I say "Me"? 😆

22. who is the most romantic here and why--Summer. His shayaris. Subhanallah! 😃

23. what is that you get physically attracted to in opposite gender--- Intelligent, radiant face and eyes, along with that charisma and dry wit. This combination shoots me nerveless in the knees. 😆

24. what 3 personal qualites will you look for in life partner-- Adjustability (I'd have to be able to adjust to him without compromising on my basic principles and core ego), Good listening (lending a ear---yada yada) and finally, he has to share 60% of my interests (a big stretch, I know)

25. Rate following on their debating contribution to this forum (10 being best, 0 being worst). You can base it on their activity, quality of their posts, seriousness. Anything. NA if you dont know

Gumrah --Who's your present IF crush?

27. To make DM work better you have been given a task to advice members for betterment. Pick 10 members and advice them (in one line) on their role in DM

LeadNitrate ---Continue with your job of reprimanding offending members. It's going good.

Summer ---We love your shayaris, but please do say more on the actual point of the debate thread.

King Anu --- Remain as you are.

Birdy --- Try to sound more formal. 😆

Lonely--- Don't be afraid of arguments.

Rehanism ---Not everything about religion is bad or evil. Do think more about it.

Gumrah --Kabhi kabhi to serious threads mein bhi participare kiya kar.

Souro --- Sometimes you argue just for the sake of arguing. That ain't nice.

Mister K. --- Please don't use jaw-breaking, popularly incomprehensible words in every sentence.

RTH -- She sounds too remote and abstract sometimes. It often impedes the flow of the argument which would be best done using simpler and more straightforward words and phrases.

28. Pick 5 male and 5 female members and rate them in likeness (out of 100%). The likeness can be due to any factor/s. For example Mr. A=80%, Mr.B=10%.

29. Since we debate a lot about gays and lesbians and talk about equality and all that. I guess therefore no one will mind this question. State 15 members and from your observations who is likely to be straiight or who has has some/any chance of being non-straight. Straight versus non-straight

30. You have seen fights/arguments over the years both as a member. State 3 most intense/serious fights/arguments and who were involved in each.

Me, Middy on one side---WA, Gauri on the other, mostly Gauri.(A thread regarding beauty)

32. Pick 10 DM members and rate them on aggressions scale (0-100, with 100 being most

aggressor)

33. Pick 10 Dm members and rate them on intelligence scale (0-100, with 100 being most intelligent)

34. State 3 good things about Lonely0planet

35. pick your favorite from the two

Gumrah/Pretty Kuri--- Both

RTH/BTV ---- RTH

Summer/Baz ---Baz

Rehanism/Freethinker ---Rehanism

36. Gumrah, Pretty Kuri, Krystal, Baz, Souro, Vinu, Ass and Summer are on a get together. They are on African Safari in Kenya. Souro is driving and Summer/Baz in front seat. Girls in second row and Vinu and Ass in the third row. On their way to hunting field there is thick jungle.

Ass says he badly needs to go for a bathroom break. Summer wisely says no. Ass says he cannot resist. Vinu offers a bottle. However girls says no let him go outside and get it over with. Summer is not happy. Baz is not sure. Anyway Ass goes out.

Suddenly from somewhere aadevaasi dressed in straw attire come out and capture ass. They then surround everyone and take hostges. They ask for someone to talk to. krystal knew their language. They said they are man eaters. Krystal says you cannot eat us like that.

Negotiations start. Aadevasi says please us and we can think of letting few go. Girls start singing a song while boys starts shaking. Aadevasi get happy. They decide to relase 5 and keep 3 and says its Krystal decision

Which 5 will you keep? Myself (obviously), the other four being Pretty_kuri aka fair_n_luvly, Gumrah, Summer and Souro

How will you save other 3? I take the other three aside and whisper some advice. Soon, all of them start to cry and say that all the three must be eaten by the chief alone, otherwise they won't go to heaven. I too request only the chief to eat them as a sign of gratitude for letting five go.The Chief happily obliges, but the followers are infuriated. they start arguing and gets killed by the Chief for protesting. Consequently, the family members of the dead get angry and set upon the chief and his men. A civil war ensues and while the bloodbath goes on, one of us secretly slips in and unties the three and we all rush to the jeep and get the hell out of there.

Use any tool you have for this trip.

Thanks and hope no one will mind. lol

P.S: Also take your time. You can answer in pieces. You have full week so hopefully wont take much of your time.
