Black Panther.

Avengers Infinity War and Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald. Still haven't gotten around to watching the first one yet.


If you were allowed to listen to the music of only one artist, who would it be and why?


It's a tough one but I'll go with OneRepublic. The lyrics in some of their tracks are beyond compare and inspiring as hell.



Your favourite album of the year?


Haven't fully listened to any released in 2018 yet. Just individual tracks.


Your favourite song of the year?


Not many to pick from yet.



Since you're a league manager on the forums, here's a weird one: Which other user's league idea do you wish you had instead of them?


Would have liked to run a World Test Championship at some point perhaps. Given how familiar I am with the Test ratings for cricsim, I think I could have run it better than most people who have tried it before. But that's very unlikely to happen now.


If you could swap your time on the forums with another user for one day, who would it be and why?


Nah, I think I'm good being myself.


If a movie were to be based on your life, what would it be called and who would portray you?


Simply "VC". Keanu Reeves, if he can keep up the whole fountain of youth thingy by the time I'm considered movie-worthy.


Is hotdog a type of sandwich?


I doubt it.


In your opinion, which comic book superhero/villain has the coolest origin story?


Batman is the superhero whose origin story fascinates me the most because he doesn't actually have any superpowers. But with his determination and tactical nous (and not to mention billions of dollars), he's able to put himself on even terms with most of actual superheroes/villians anyway and wins more often than not.

Once or twice perhaps but never in a major way.

What would you name your boat if you had one?

Anything other than Titanic.

What will finally break the internet?

India qualifying for the FIFA World Cup someday.

What celebrity would you rate as a perfect 10?

Emma Watson, I guess.

Which fictional character would be the most boring to meet in real life?

Rickon Stark.

What is the best and worst purchases you’ve ever made?

Best: I dunno, the two laptops I have in my possession I guess.
Worst: A printer that malfunctioned mere days after I had just bought it.

I don't really keep proper track of such things..

Do you think Caroline is very energetic?

It certainly looks that way.

What makes Caroline so bloody great?

You manage to find ways to keep this dying trend alive, which is good.

If you had to change your name, what would your new name be, and why would you choose that name?

Django..



What are some things that sound like compliments but are actually insults?

When people say things like "you've lost a bit of weight" to those who haven't lost a single g on the weight scale, or stuff like "true beauty comes from the inside" to people that aren't blessed with good looks. It's an insult to one's intelligence.

Do you think Caroline will read these answers?

I honestly don't care whether someone reads my answers or not. You asked, hence I answered. My work here is done until someone posts the next set of questions.

Caroline is the best person on this forum?

There's no best or worst the way I see it; we all have our good points and bad points.

Why is Caroline so dam wonderful?

*damn

When do you think Caroline will become staff on this forum?

The same day I become an admin perhaps. Life is full of possibilities..

What’s a body part that you wouldn’t mind losing?

There's no such body part I wouldn't mind losing.

What’s the worst commercial you’ve recently seen? Why is it so bad?


Excuse me while I go throw up.

What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured?

Just a couple of days back when I was leg pressing five plates on each side quite easily and thought to myself how cool it'd be if I could do it while singing Eye of the Tiger. I lost control and almost got pinned under the damn thing. My thighs still hurt a bit, but I'm just glad to still have the use of my legs.

Not sure I'm the right person to ask this as I haven't really watched any cricket since the World Cup. They perhaps greatly underestimated a BD team missing Shakib, but in T20s anyone can beat anyone on their day.

Don't I? :p

TBH I had kinda drifted out for a while until I watched a former alcoholic cousin of mine transform himself from fat to fit, which really inspired me to get back into the game myself. Currently I follow this crazy 7-days-a-week routine which I started sometime in late September involving five days of weight training, three of boxing practice and two of cardiovascular endurance/HIIT (which needless to say is way more than he does). And when not working out, I have also been volunteering for laborious tasks such as carrying heavy statues of idols from various pujas (festivals of worship) we have here in India into rivers for immersion, even though I'm an atheist to further challenge myself.

The latter can be considered a somewhat dangerous task given we (usually a group of 5-6 people, and not all capable of lifting heavy) have to carry heavy loads ranging from 100 to 150 kg (sometimes higher) all the way into the extremely muddy and slippery banks of the Ganges river, and the slightest mishap can cause serious injury or worse. But what's life without a bit of risk?


Do you have any pets? If so what are their names and ages? :spy


Oh, yes. I personally care for a black lab named Bagheera/Kala (which means Black) who is aged 9 years but still quite fit and agile. We have two other black labs named Lucky and Munny, a pug (the Vodafone kind) and a chihuahua in the family.
