For Manish, it's the mythological Shakuntala, who wore flowers in their hair, ears, hands, legs and god knows where else! For Sunny, it's Shakuntala-Devi, the Math wizz 😛😉

🤣

Too good of an answer...Can I trade Shakuntala for my Chameli please?

My answers below. Got to say first up - Sorryyyyy! Don't know quite a few people here. So, have picked up only the guys I have interacted with...also includes women!

Will have the entire population suffer from inferiority complex, with their lack of understanding and knowledge on culture and music! And with that complex, people will want to cease to live. End result - mass self immolation😳....😆😆😆

3. Priya

Will start loads of law suits against the entire populace, due to their immoral, blasphemous of living. The poor guys will spend all their money in trying to hire lawyers to defend them. Impoverishment will lead the mass to the same result - self immolation 😛....😆

4. Adi

Will cause the death of an entire nation with an overdose... of himself in his new metamorphosed form 😉 What else would you expect from an overdose of pain"killer" pills? 😛....🤣🤣🤣....Advil-killer...😆😆😆

5. Bhaskar

Will be the pied piper (or should I say flautist? 😉) of the US, who will lead the various beefy individuals into a cave and then disappear, after filling them with his melodious notes of 'Pahadi'...😆😆😆...Like we are choohas and vhoohis...😆😆

6. Chameli

Oh, our 'friend-of-the-flower' will get the entire nation confused between 'objects' and 'living humans'. After the confusion and the firm belief that they are indeed 'objects' and therefore cannot be killed, they will shoot themselves to prove their point. End result - mass death....🤣....speechlesss..🤣

9. Dia

Oops! Dunno 😭....She wil lprobably outsmart allto their death...because she is self proclaimed 2smart4u🤣🤣🤣

15. Appa

Will ask everyone to endorse / follow 'Amar sonar bangla' or 'Amader Gurudev'. If people fail to do that (and something tells me they will), then Appa will launch a 'Jai Bangla' raid😛 [Just fyi, Jai Bangla is the nickname for Conjunctivitis in Bengal!]🤣

Absolutely riotous answers....I am enjoying your sense of humor...Great going...👏

Now you do understand that most of these will not stand the test of the IF servers...right?😆...But they are good and germane to personalities. Great job.👏

My parting note from this thread:

Perusing through the 28 pages and counting was a pure joy Saritaji. The first thing that comes to my mind is that you took pains in writing some very thoughtful and creative answers. They were not just run-of-the-mill answers. Your humor AND satires are more than just wisecracks. They are very well thought of pieces of your mind. I loved reading them and learnt from them.

The imperssion I have at the end of these 28 pages of treasure is that of a very mature, thoughtful and yet a jocose person who knows the balancing act between private and public life very well.

Nice knowing you Saritaji and I look forward to continue to hear your voice through the SRGMP contest. All the best for coming rounds.

The words that come to my mind to describe your personality would be

PROLIFIC WRITER AND Ms CONGENIALITY

Yo Adi! Thanks 😊

What warm-ups? I thought you just said HOTSEAT 😛

The SRGMP section is just so lively! What's more? It's giving me ideas on the new forms of social networking and content creation and exchange. Ok, ok, that was the social-science researcher in me. Chuck that! It's just fun pal that's what.

Hey! I had GRAND plans of sitting up and listening to the retro specials on the week-end morning. I even got me-self a new headphone and mic [thanks to a certain special someone's very special ways of specially annoying people on Skype 😡] But...hmmm I had to please my in-laws with my non-existent culinary skills. So, into the kitchen I did go and out I did come with toasted egg sandwiches all burnt ...and a heavy heart that I missed the special!

As soon as I figure out how it's to be heard and adjusted on my lappietoppie, I shall tune in! I'm tech challenged you see 😕

All threads on raagas / raaginis / music directors / musical instruments I found interesting. Pity they are so few and far between to come by these days.

7 favourite songs? Ok this is going to be slightly different from the list that I gave in before sometime back in this thread 😛 And it's again going to be more than 7😕

- Nanhi kali sone chali [Geeta Dutt - but I love the version my mom used to sing, when I was a kid - that was far, far better than GD's]
- Zulmi sang aankh ladi [Madhumati]
- Pyaasi ankhiyaan tumhe pukaare, ruk jaao banvaasi raam [God knows. But, for the kind that gives me an MP3 version of it, I shall always give a special place in my ...head!]
- Jab raat nahin kat-ti zindagi kaise kategi [Lata]
- Mujhe tumse muhobbat hai, magar mein keh nahin sakta [Rafi]
- Ab ke baras bhej bhaiyya ko babul [Asha]
- Na milta gham to barbaadi ke afsaane kahaan jaate [Lata]
- Edleweiss [Sound of music]
- Sound of silence [Simon-and-G'unkel] 😉
- Annie's song [Jon Denver]

Hi Sarita. I am sorry I have not been able to come to post questions but I have been reading some of your answers. I am really very impressed with the music, songs, and singers you have put down as your favs. Its a small world kya? Talat Mahmood, Geeta Dutt, John Denver, Edlewise from Sound of Music, Simon and Garfunkel....... these are all my favs.!!😳😳 The Zulmi sang aankh ladi from Madhumati..... I could listen to it forever. We will have to catch up one of these days.

All the answers are great.👏👏
