RULES:

Unfortunately, due to barrage of  not so nice incidents in past DOTWs, a couple of rules have to be included from now on. Those who fail to comply by the rules, will be banned from taking part in MOTW, all their posts in MOTW threads will be deleted and their WLs will be increased depending upon the severity of transgession

1) NO MENTION OF PAST INCIDENTS/OTHER FORUMS TO BE DUG OUT.
Lately members use the DM thread to dig out incidents from past, happenings from other forums, their baseless thoughts and accusations and start the volley of member related actions

2) MIND YOUR LANGUAGES
Take a break and pause for 3s before writing anything you would not like to hear from others.

3) REMEMBER ITS ALL FOR FUN
Members ask others member related questions and when the answers are not to their liking, hell breaks. So please remember, its all in fun. when your time comes you can also name members as so and so , and you probably have to.

What? Since when have you started to scare off the entertainment? ๐Ÿ˜†

Congrats Birdie. I'll ask questions once I see your answer for Genie's Breaking Bad vs. Homeland question. It's a matter of principles.

and just for that you'll get some straight answers.๐Ÿ˜Š

If you could invent anything to solve a problem , it would be.

inventing a machine that would allow us to get to heaven without having to first die to get there๐Ÿ˜†

a machine that solves the problem of poverty, of people who can't afford to dream

If you didn't have to worry about your job and lack of time what other project would you start ( sleeping is not an option)

teaching poor kids how to be as smart as me ๐Ÿ˜›

Who was your favorite music group in high school?

Pink Floyd. (I grew up in India, so any coke music though i only experimented with it)

What was your favorite grade school subject?

English Lit. Yeah i could write. Once upon a time. Enough to come 2nd in an all-India competition๐Ÿ˜Š

What is your  favorite sport to play/watch?

ice hockey. Fast paced, brutal...

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon as a child?

never got into cartoons. Also every other sunday morning we'd be rounded up by dad for trips to the barber shop.

What was the best vacation you have ever had?

as a kid- Simla, Mussoorie, Darjeeling with family.
as an adult- San Fran with a gf

What is your most embarrassing moment?

being too tongue tied to know what to tell her...I wrote something on an index card and gave it to her. 

Name the foreign countries you want to visit.

argentina. brasil. The southern-most tip of the SAmerica continent. Western Africa just because I dont know if i'll ever get there...


What time period would you live in if you could have live at any time? Why?

i am assuming it's something other than the current time period... I think the time right after independence. It must have been a very optimistic time. And much as i am steeped in the material world myself, i cant help but wonder what it must have been like when values were simpler... I look at old movies and see empty roads, and i remember stories of someone in my family playing cricket in a bungalow they owned on Pali Hill... I wish that carefree time existed for me...

You once told me that you too flirted with being a surgeon , how did that happen and why are you now wearing a Zegna and playing with the derivatives?

haha from what i know of neurosurgeons, they can afford a Zegna or two themselves.

i think i found the idea of neurosurgery a romantic notion. While i was good at studies and extracurriculars to have made it anywhere, i have always been too lazy, so took the easy way out.

it's actually a cross-product trading book. Derivs is one part of it.
 
Which is the most over-rated book you ever read?

i always found something to learn- however trashy. Ok, maybe Stochastic Methods in Economics and Finance. I spent way too much time trying to understand it.๐Ÿ˜†

Why is everybody curious about God?

maybe because the implications are huge. If there is no God, why bother?

i think we're really wanting to know if we're a pile of mass with no future...

What makes you smile most randomly?

jokes i remember. Lines i want to use if better sense did not prevail.

ManU or Real Madrid

not into European soccer. Only time i watch is during World Cup.

What if the earth was a flat rod.

there'd not be too many ways i could get to the local bar. We'd all be piled up in traffic. Ever seen Belt Parkway?๐Ÿ˜†

Space trip or a around the world voyage.

space. I like flying high.๐Ÿ˜†

A meal you would want to eat right now.

kadhi-chawal, rajma-chawal. Incidentally that's the only time i have rice. I got to look good you know.๐Ÿ˜†

fav movie character.

not particularly crazy about anyone. Dont really watch movies...

Breaking Bad or Homeland.

no idea who what that is. I am just a party kind of guy when i want fun. Pretty shallow that way.

, Have a great time, Mr. Birdie. You keep this place witty and rolling. You know I would be back with more!

lol that's what one worries about.๐Ÿ˜†

haha i just looked that up on the net.
But a guy just has so much time. I could either spend it on wonderful company such as yourselves, or on silly cable TV. I am making the right choices, aren't i?๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ˜†

Congro, Birdman. May you grow wings and soar, and not let the clouds hit you on the head. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Questions:

1.We know two negatives make a positive in the English language. Do you agree? (Think...carefully)

2.Write a short essay on, "India ke Baba/s: Allah Meherbaan To Gadha Pehelwaan". (NOTE: "Baba" can mean either dhongi babas, or the Political "Baba". Whichever ya like, or BOTH, if you please). ๐Ÿ˜‰

3.Give 10 reasons why you would NOT like to be Chuck Norris.

4. Make up a story. Maal masala: Birdie, RTH, Mr. K, Krystal, Gumrah and Mr. Ass are stranded on an island with a dilapidated hotel with , Ryan Gosling, Vijay Mallya, Katrina Kaif and two ex-US Presidents. (preferably the last two ๐Ÿ˜†)
Write a funny, spicy story that involves ALL the characters with at least ONE dialogue for everybody.

i don't disagree.๐Ÿ˜†

"Allah Meherban toh Gadha Pehelwan". if you think this title has anything to do with politicians, then i hate to admit it but you are right.๐Ÿ˜› It is indeed Allah's meherbani that such an uncouth uneducated criminal class gets as far as they do in life. But then, if God is kind, who are we to say how far donkeys can go. After all, they are also God's creatures, aren't they?

ps- hope this was short enough๐Ÿ˜›



3.Give 10 reasons why you would NOT like to be Chuck Norris.

it's all the 9 superlative things about me that he lacks. Looks, IQ, friends like you who ask these questions (who needs enemies!) , the girls i loved, the girls i am with, the girls i will love in future (all of which he'll never have), the hindi jokes i know that he doesn't. 

ok how many was that? 7? I knew you would point that out. Add two because of how annoying his fans are.๐Ÿ˜†

what's the 10th? The name. Chuck? Chuck?๐Ÿ˜† 



4. Make up a story. Maal masala: Birdie, RTH, Mr. K, Krystal, Gumrah and Mr. Ass are stranded on an island with a dilapidated hotel with , Ryan Gosling, Vijay Mallya, Katrina Kaif and two ex-US Presidents.
