GOKUL KRISHNAN

Postgraduate student, 23

What is your most prized possession?

My family, friends and the memories we shared over the years.

If you were granted a wish what would it be?

A time machine.

Your biggest fear?

Failure is my greatest fear.

What does happiness mean to you?

Anything, anyone or any situation capable of bringing a smile on my face.

If you could what would you undo in your life?

Life would have been better if I hadn't befriended THAT person five years ago.

SANA RAHIM

Law student, 21

What is your most prized possession?

My crazy family and even crazier friends.

If you were granted a wish, what would it be?

I would ask for an automatic tear control device so that the next time I go out for a movie with friends, I wouldn’t sit and cry pathetically for each and every so called touching scene and thus get embarrassed.

Your biggest fear?

The faintest of the faintest look of pain on my mom's face is all that is needed to freak me out.

What does happiness mean to you?

Happiness is getting to eat chicken and a loot of chocolates!

If you could what would you undo?

Childhood was a time full of fun, laughter and play with cousins and not having a care in the world. I wish I could go back in time to that period of time.

JEENA JEEVAN

Engineer, 24

What is your most prized possession?

My loving friends and my family with whom I want to spend my whole life.

If you were granted a wish what would it be?

To get a life partner who understands supports and accepts me as who I am.

Your biggest fear?

Fear of losing days hours and each precious moment.

What does happiness mean to you?

Happiness is living a carefree, burden-less and fearless life.

If you could what would you undo?

Would like to undo the situations where I had hurt others knowingly or unknowingly.

SAPNESH VARACHAL

Documentary and short filmmaker, 35

What is your most prized possession?

My ability to visualise things when I read a story or a novel. I then translate them into my short films, documentaries or ad films.

If you were granted a wish what would it be?

I’d wish for the opportunity to direct a feature film.

What is your biggest fear?

That I am losing out on the time to fulfil my dreams. I feel I’m not spending enough time to realise my dreams.

What does happiness mean to you?

Happiness is that feeling when I am able to do what I like. The duration doesn’t matter; even if it’s only for a moment, it’s enough.

If you could what would you undo?

I wish I could retrieve all those moments that I wasted.
