What is your most prized possession?

My family, my home and my friends, in that order.

If you were granted a wish what would it be?

I have always dreamed of living in a land without borders.

Your biggest fear?

Fear of failure, since I have always felt as if I am a goat stuck in a wolf pack and fighting is my only chance.

What does happiness mean to you?

I have been the happiest when I used to live at my uncle’s ranch in Koliyar, in the Nilgiris.

If you could what would you undo?

People’s attitude towards weakness. The world finds in itself the audacity to exploit one’s weakness rather than strengthen an individual.

Fear itself.

All my mistakes.

I should have been an astronaut!
