Here are my answers to Anand’s questions:

1. If you can transport yourself into one of your favourite books, where (what book world) would you go and why?

My answer might be surprising to some, but I will definitely choose Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.  It is an epic novel full of love, passion, revenge, hate, good vs evil, etc. This dark romance is a true insight to the human mind and soul where love can take many forms. I absolutely love the characters in this book, they are not your typical heroic characterless as they are selfish, cruel, and awful but there is something haunting about the characters that hypnotizes the reader. The settings are so real in this book, I felt like I was really living in the eighteen century while reading this book.

2. If you can meet one person (real, imaginary, alive, or dead) who would it be and why? What will you do with them?

If I can meet one person, I will choose Che Guevara. Why? simply because he’s the man of my dream. We will start a revolution

3. Do you feel you are at peace with yourself?

I believe inner peace comes with knowing you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to hide, no secrets or lies. Also I try to follow  this quote in my daily life: “There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living.”José N. Harris, MI VIDA

4. What according to you is the cause of stress in lives of others or in yours?

In my opinion, it is financial stress as we live in consumer’ culture; financial stress can effect people’ health and relationships.

5. What makes you feel very good?

Making others smile.

6. What is your best memory?

I can’t choose a specific memory as I have many good memories that I cherish.

7. Who are your source of inspiration?

My friends, my little princess and  inspirational writers can all a  be source for my inspiration. Also my search for eternal happiness by establishing inner peace within myself, keeps me motivating all the time

8. What is the role of gratitude in your life?

Gratitude is important in my life, as it is the key for a content heart and a simple life.
