Ashok’s Questions

1. Do you have more faith in your own ability or God?

I  believe everything is (parts of) God. So, I am doubtful of the duality (God versus me) in the first place. To clarify, I am not claiming that I am God (or anything is God; we just all come from Him).

2. Do you like the security of a job or freedom and creativity of an entrepreneur?

Probably a job that gives me a little bit of both.

3.Are you more of an indoor or outdoor person?

I need to be out often but right after, I need to have some me-time at home. So, both.

4.What is your favourite pastime?

Sleeping.

5.Are you a spendthrift or the saving kind?

I spent for certain things. I don’t like buying clothes or luxury stuff. But I can spend a lot for traveling.

6.What do you like more, reading or writing?

Writing.

7.Do you think we are doomed?

Nope. We are just learning and getting better.

8.Who do you love more : children or pets?

Pets.

9.If you were left alone in a house without internet connectivity, how long do you think, you will last?

The first few days will be hard but then I think I can get used to it and leave without it. But that depends on how much I need it for work. If it is for personal stuff, then I don’t think I will ask for it again after a few days.

10. Are you a balanced person? If not, what is the imbalance about?

Hmm, I am not. I usually experience the extremes and then I find the balance. This holds for everything. I was drinking too much tea. Then, I gave up entirely. Then, I am at a balance now. Without giving up tea entirely, I would not be able to balance.

11. What would you choose: the promise of a simple healthy life v/s lots of money, with health challenges?

Healthy life. Who cares about money.

 

Saba Niaz does not have questions and she just asks us to tell whatever we want to. So, I just want to tell all of you that I love all of you guys!

 

I will  also not have questions. You can tell us facts about yourselves in the comments!

 

As per my usual, I will not nominate anyone or everyone. I would be really happy if everyone shared at least one thing about themselves.
