Alcoholic is perfectly fine, I've been there, done that. Although I prefer beer.
LOL, my geography is equally crappy. But yeah. They're waaaaayy over there up North. Which is why North Indians and South Indians usually regard the others like aliens, and I can see why, there are a lot of visible differences.
I am a straight-A student actually, with a pretty good brain, so while I don't expect to outright fail, I still have to get a good grade for privileges like keeping my AC room, choosing my roommates, exempted from attendance etc. There are various quizzes, internal assessments and midterms during the year, and their marks along with that of the end-of-term exam counts for your total CGPA. Of course, you also need a minimum of 75% attendance in EVERY subject to be able to write the exam in the subject. If you don't have 75% you're debarred from one exam and that pulls your CGPA down.
LOL, if I'm coming to the US I'll have to put my grandmother into overdrive. She's a brilliant baker, too.
And I didn't really debate with them - either I wasn't listening to them telling my sister Bible stories or I just wasn't there. I was a very quiet and withdrawn kid (that's the one good thing high school did for me, it opened me up), but I did ask my parents once what the point of prayers were when they didn't go anywhere. I think they changed the topic.
Anyway... pity there's no beer around...
[spoiler]- If today was my last day? (Great, the Nickelback song by the same name just started in my head.) Now, seeing as I don't have the money, (in which case I would totally splurge), I'd spend it with my parents, sister, and grandmother. Maybe go to my favourite restaurant back home, watch some cricket, sing along to good music, and just have a good time.
- At this point I don't know where I'll be going, what I'll be doing, out in the big bad world, so for now I'd probably like to be remembered as a good person - someone who, in spite of all the sarcasm, all the misunderstanding, and generally sociopathic behaviour was a good person. (And a great writer.)
- The Lion King, yes. And Cars. Hell, I still watch Cars over and over again.
- Apart from visiting RAFians all over the world, I'd also like to visit South Africa and Australia because of all the cricket connections. Same goes with England. (I love the game.) And yeah, they're beautiful countries, too.
- Fear of fire and hot objects - something I still have. I thought the Chemistry lab was bad. Welding is even worse.
- Good music, good food, people who are genuinely in love, hot cup noodles on a cold rainy night, friends who have the same mental disorder as you (hello, RAF), meeting someone who shares your interests, a cricket match with a thriller and wonderful ending, getting a program right on the first compile, a meal with biriyani in it, a good grade... I might as well make a whole new version of the Julie Andrews song.
- Rule the world?! I can't even rule my dorm. Which is why I'd probably abdicate as soon as possible.
- Well, I guess you could say standing up against the downright sh**ty way women are generally treated in India. It's either as second-class citizens whose sole purpose in life is to make babies and clean the house, or as sex objects to have a good time with. In fact, the problem starts with the women themselves, raising their men to believe these things. So yeah. It's one that really grinds my gears.
- The cup is half full of water (or beverage of your choice) and half full with air. So essentially, it's full. Anything is possible.
- I tend to be really sarcastic and hard around people who I dislike. Sure, usually they have such thick skulls it doesn't get through to them, but other people don't like it. I usually don't give a f**k what other people think, but this is something even my mom has warned me about.
And, coming a close second, is procrastination. Of course, I usually manage to get things done at the last minute, but why do I even need to put myself in that situation?
- Let's go with Nelson Mandela, who can teach me how not to hate people; Julius Caesar, to teach me how to get people to listen to you; and Nikola Tesla, because he was a bloody genius and I'm not.
- I can't decide between shapeshifting or invisibility. But flying is mandatory.

Viva La Vida by Coldplay
... yeah, I have quite a bit of Coldplay
- Sadly we don't celebrate Halloween here. Although if we put up a Halloween party sometime during college for the hell of it I might just grab a long coat and go as the Doctor.
