11 questions asked by Gokoulane Ravi
- Who/What inspires you?
Sane, intelligent, sharp ones. Ones who know what they want and know how to express it or get it. There are various attributes I try to pick up from various people. Bill Watterson is one whom I admire a lot, he has achieved and lives a quiet life. Away from all that celebrity hullabulaah, he allows his work speak for him. Sushmitha Sen, for her parenting skills to her adopted children. I remember reading in Reader’s digest once…she imbibed in her kid that biological children are normal and adopted kids are special. That is not something one would care to do.

11 Questions asked by Dhivya Balaji
- Why do you blog? And why have you named your blog like you have?
To mostly ramble. And the name? Well, you know how they say a person shouldn’t be angry, feel greed, jealous…basically all negative emotions. Remember how you are taught you are a good human only when you have the positive feelings. Well I think its bullshit. A human ought to have all emotions and just be taught to deal with it in a healthy way, suppression is what is not being Human…hence Wannabe Humane.

Robin Williams. Why because, God, he has some unfinished business back here.

History. Find the right teacher, bud.

Wind. Always loved to fly, would love to control it, the Frozen Elsa style.

Currently, “Happiness Isn’t Enough, I Demand Euphoria”

English. Tamil and French on different levels. Mandarin, Japanese. I would want to talk and read than to write, which of course would follow when I master the first two.

Easy… Fly. Always dreamt of it. swirl upp
- Do you take personality quizzes online? How far do you believe them? Have any of them been true (accurate)?
