QUESTIONS ASKED BY RUPALI S. BANERJEE

1. Which book influenced you the most?

“Becoming” Michelle Obama. It is the memoir of a young girl who tried, hoped and succeeded and became one of the most powerful woman of this era. It’s a wonderful book! It gives out the message that one has to make genuine efforts towards ones goal. The book is the sincere, self written, witty and candid blend of Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama’s life inside and outside the white house.

2. Favourite quote?

Maya Angelou’s,”Open your eyes to the beauty around you, open your mind to the wonders of life, open your heart to those who love you and always be true to yourself.”

3. What is next on your bucket list?

Ah!…It’s a long list. I want to give more time to my paintings. Secondly, few more hours to my yoga session.

4. What is the one interesting thing about you that people don’t know?

I’m a foodie😋.

5. If you had one super power what would you pick and why?

Well negativity leads to downfall as it derails one’s growth, so I would like to pull out negativity out of people. One should be optimistic and progressive

6. Life lesson learnt :

Life is beautiful, feel it’s beauty. Life becomes more beautiful when we realise the simple fact that we will never live the same moment again. Live every moment, let yourself flow with the stream of life effortlessly, feel it’s coolness, it’s smoothness and the soothing effect, it’s calmness and then only one will realize how things become easy. I read somewhere, “mind is like water. When it is turbulent it is difficult to see in it. When it’s calm eveything becomes clear.”

7. All time favourite movie?

Oh…..I have a long list🤩but I have a liking for science fiction,”Avatar(2009)”is my all time favourite.

8. Favourite colour:

All shades of pastels.

9. Your biggest aim/dream?

To live a signifiant life. For me life isn’t about being affluent, popular, highly educated or perfect. It’s about being humble, being strong and being able to share ourselves and above all touch the lives of others.

10. What really makes you angry?

Frankly speaking nothing……but at times a selfish heart and fake persona annoys me
