Answers to your questions

Few days back, I asked my social media friends what questions they would like me to answer, and well, here they are:
1. What's your philosophy on moving abroad? ~ Asked by Vishnuja Nambiar
When I was younger I used to hate everything about my country and dreamed of the day I would be finally able to leave this place for good. But recently, (a few years back) I realized how much I loved my country's culture and how used to the urban Indian lifestyle I am at this point.
My country has lots of issues that I can't ignore. But if all the people who actually love this country, leave, how will this country ever see any hope for development?
My philosophy about moving abroad is to try fixing the problems first and if the people of India deny responsibility to be better than what we are now... Repeatedly, then it's best, people like us do leave the country. It's sort of like a toxic friend who you try confronting about their issues and offer solutions too, but if they're not willing to listen, then it's best we leave them instead of damaging ourselves.
That said, I also think the whole world is doomed anyway and no country is devoid of any flaws. I guess you just got to pick and choose which problems you're willing to deal with on a daily basis.
And finally, I do sometimes worry about the potential problem that could arise if I do leave this country and settle abroad... Like racism, discrimination cause I'm different and not finding people who's family and community values are as strong as mine since I'm an Indian. Then again, I'm not sure, I've never set foot on any other country but India.
2. Are you ready for exams? ~ Asked by Ruth Quadros
Yes. I mean, to the best of my ability.
I don't like the dread of anxiety that comes as the exam season approaches so I prefer to study a little right from the start of the term. This may shock most people but I'm a slow learner so I allow myself to take my own sweet time when it comes to learning. I cannot even finish whole chapter in one day, I get too distracted. I read a few pages, watch videos on the subject, hangout with my friends, sleep on it and try to find similarities of what I'm studying verses reality.
I cannot cram studying everything under one/two nights. For those of you'll who can and still manage passing a subject, I just want to say, you'll are super humans.
So yes, I'm ready for the coming exams, except for French, no one ever feels ready for French.
3. Why so calm? ~ Asked by Saakshi Upadhye
It's around the same answer as the previous but yeah, since I study throughout the term, when exams actually come around, I'm mostly very chilled out. Emphasis on mostly, I'm still a regular human.
4. How's your crush? ~ Asked by Joel D'sa
He's great, Joel, thanks for asking.
5. Are farts explosive and flammable? ~ Asked by Samson Fernandes
You're so funny. I don't know about human farts, but cows produce lots of methane while farting. If compressed... Yeah, they probably will be really explosive and inflammable.

Thanks to all who asked me these questions....bye for now!
