These days people are pinching pennies and living frugally, but we want to know: What's the last thing you splurged on?

On third day of new year, i spent approx 1000$ on Multimedia Projector and 4 x 6 ft movie projection screen that i wanted to integrate with my Home-Theater Sound system. Now i can seat back and enjoy the movies @home on BIG screen.

What's the worst travel experience you've ever had?

Two back-to-back experiences were the worst travel experiences i had. Not sure which one is the superior, so putting both those stuff.

First:  My first flight experience from Mumbai to Cochin. I was very excited. journey was just of 2 hrs. I got window seat. Everything was just nice. Plane took-off. Ojas, my 2 yr son got furious because of the seat belt. He wanted to get down and wander in the plane. I objected. Since that moment he started crying loud, tears from eyes. He continued that till we land. It was so much of embarrassment. Everybody was looking at us. Ojas, was not in a mood of peace. I tried all, threatening, scolding, sweat talks but NO. Apart from the engine noise, the second sound was the crying of Ojas. Flight hostess showing us the usual demo of oxygen and contingency stuff with a background noise of the crying. They were also impatient and frustrated but still tried their hard to ignore and bring smile to their face.

Second: 7 days after the above experience, while returning back from Cochin to Mumbai. God blessed us and Ojas went for sleep. So i was happy. Everything was going nice. I clicked few nice sun-set snaps. And then it happened. Flight captain announced of light-medium turbulence. Flight crew back to their seats.  Outside slowly but steadily it started getting dark and  then the plane started shacking.  And then the darkness and the shaking of plane increased. I was scared to death. I thought this is the end of my life. Soon or later the plane is going crash. I seek forgiveness to all those peoples to whom i behaved rudely. Missed all the stuff that i always wanted to do. I just kept my fingers cross and kept praying for god. This continued for around 1 hr. and then it slowed down. The moment i heard we are approaching Mumbai airport in 15 mins, please tight ur seat belts announcement, i can't describe the happiness of my life. I was so happy when i saw the lights on the landing place. The moment i got down from the plane, i kissed my wife.

What's that secret dream job you've always believed you'd be good at, but never gone for?

Ah.. ofcourse wild-life photography and video shootings. I really am jealous of those people i see on Discovery, Nat Geo and Animal Planet. They just break-free roam around in the densed forest, very close to nature and wild-life. They carry the fantastic zoom lenses camera and just have fun.
Although i am fully aware that, that life is very tough to live, even-if it looks the perfect. Hats-off to those guys for doing all the hard-work for us to seat-in comfort and watch those amazing shows.

If you could pick a cartoon world to live in, which would it be?  Why?
Submitted by Scio, Scio.

I love cartoons and am crazy about them. Its difficult to pick-up any because i would love to live in cartoon world be it whatever character i am. But now that this question is specific,

My nature is something similar to Goofy. Always reading something and based on that trying to experiment newer things. Most of the time he fails (i am not), but i like his attitude of keep trying something, always.

But when it comes to fantasizing some character, i would pick up on Huey, Duey, or Looie. I would love to be any one of them. They are so cute, innocent yet naughty, live in a nice family, protected by Uncle Scrooge and his big handsome money. What else anybody want???

What was your favorite game to play at recess in grade school? 
Submitted by Elisheva Chana.

When i say i am a resident of india, 99% it has to be a Cricket. We used to play Cricket in recess. Eraser being a ball, examination pad/board being the bat and the schoolbags, pilled up on each other being the stumps.

Other games were Rumal pani and Appa-Rappi :-)

What is your favorite day of the week?

Submitted by J.T.

First thing, i would love to have a power of being invisible. I want a power of going back in the past and enjoy the happiest moment i had, especially when my girl-friend acccepted my proposal (which was really a unexpected) and i becomed a proud father, also would like to go ahead in future and see what is there for me.
I would like the power of reading minds of people as well.

What did you dream about last night?  

I dreamt that i was on vacation to Kashid- Sea beach, with full family. My sister, priyanka was just got married with Rahul and we were there to introduce them to some people. (I don't have any relatives there in kashid, don't know why i dreamt that). Pallavi, (my wife) was also with me, but in dream, we were not married yet. Our wedding was just planned. The place where we had booked was not that good and clean, and i hated the sea-beach which was also not as good and clean, as it is in real life.

What happened next, i don't remember it.
