This is so cool well done to you bringing things on time is very good but inside of time so cool, kudos to you!!!

Losing my parents

Not nice I can assure you, I lost my Mum when I was sixteen following my near fatal accident the stress for her was way to much, I carry that on my shoulders.

Keeping my better half happy and smiling no matter what situation of life you are going through

So sweet!!!

My positive attitude and my eagerness to learn something new every single day

I have a positive attitude but I do try not to be a dick each day... I do try.

I would want to witness the Sharjah Cup (India vs Australia vs Pakistan Tri-Series in Dubai)

Nothing like watching live cricket with a good crowd, always wanted to watch a match in Asia or the West Indies.

1. Upon joining PlanetCricket, what did you hope to get gain out of this site (on an emotional level) ? - Nothing, I was running a league on Orkut social media, wanted help in regrds to that
2. Who was your first genuine friend here on PlanetCricket? - @Sartaj without a doubt. What a beautiful soul he is.
3. Rivalries. Can you remember your first unfriendly interaction here on PlanetCricket? If so what happened and who is the individual in question? - has to be @Prithvi
4. Your take on Forum regulars? Surely there is better ways to spend your time than on a social platform like PlanetCricket. Few members are really good. I have a lot of fun reading their post but there are few for whom I think what the f is wrong? Why are they like this?
5. What frustrates you the most (or really gets you mad) here on the forums ? General chat sub-forum for sure. It has become really the worst place. Nonsense after nonsense gets posted. This is just my opinion.
   
6. Your take on social media bullies? Will you openly stand up for someone here if they were bullied by the " in-crowd" ? I will ask the person who is getting bullied to step down. My thought is the person or persons bullying on social media are behind the computers and are complete anonymous. You cannot defeat these assh888s. I will completely support mesnwhile in all the way I can.
7. Explain something to me that you think is complicated ... any topic .. that you feel is complicated. The concept of chauvinism and feminism. A good war got diverted due to getting over the line. I am all in for 50-50 for men and women, I am all in for women empowerment but in the process do not become the one you are fighting for.
8. Is there a question I haven't asked you, but should? - good set of questions, I do not think so.

Which Cricket World Cup, in your opinion, was the best of all time? Heart says 2011 WC as India won the world cup but I would rate 2007 T20 world cup better. The reason was new format, new teams and a new captain for Team India.
