2. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar! I am a great fan of his excellent perfection in both inside and off side the cricket ground!

4. I wish, I could be the man to give company to Neil Armstrong when he put the first step on moon. (Or would be the first man to step out there on moon surface)!
5. Music the only thing! That keeps me away from ups and downs of life. It heals my body and soul; I can sleep, study or write while listening to it any time.

6. If by fortunate I get a chance to become the first person of India my first priority will be to give zero cost computer education to all including children !

4. I would definitely like to watch the formation of the Galaxy – the formation of the Earth and the frst person on the Earth – how and from where did they come from.. etc etc.. Still a MYTERY..!
5. Acceptance – just accept and adapt to the current situation, you'd always have a happy heart and the sorrows won't bother you much.. 🙂
6. Don't tell me – If I'd be the President of India – the first thing I'll do is to ensure all the power vests with me and I'll be the one travelling round the world and not the PMO of INDIA.. 🙂 I would definitely release a book – 5 years round the world..!!
Gosh!! Was too tough being a CREATIVE person.. :p
1) AMAZING !! 1 word is enough
2) Dan Bilzerian
3) 10 yrs of excellent health so than i can get drunk , get high and smash the lever and the kidneys out of me 😛 living good is a better alternative than living longer 🙂

2. I would like to wake up in my body only, so that to know that how it feels to be a celebrity known by your own name and face…!! 😀
3. I wish a life of 30 years of average health…so that I can tease at least 3 persons who opted for life of 10 years with good health in this contest, that it's so crazy living here, and see you are leaving this earth…!! 😀
And by the time, would like to experience the whole bunch of drugs present…:D
4. I would like to accompany Alexander, while he conquered major part of this earth…

3.I'd totally love every minute of my life living it. So given an option of 30 years of average health , why not just grab it than just 10 years of good health.Cos when you know you have 30 years instead of 10 years, you already start looking forward to life and living it, every millisecond of it
4.I'd become the Indian ruler's chief advisor to prevent him from admitting the EastIndiaCompany to setup shop in India and thereby prevent the British rule of India

1. Interesting, different, educational, finally happy.
2. The singer Tony Bennett. Old in body, young in spirit!
3. 10 years of excellent health as that would take me to age 73…and then, hopefully, will be enough medical advances to give me another 20 years of excellent health.
4. So much history, only one event? How about the first Easter Sunday?
5. Lack of confidence.
6. If I were the President of the United States, I would give a speech on national TV: This isn't a time to be afraid, or to tear us apart. We either work together, or we die.
1.Simple yet interesting and enjoyable 🙂
2. Shah Rukh Khan!! I love him as an actor and as a person too 🙂
3. Obviously, 10 years of excellent health. It's not important how long you live, it's how much you live in that span 🙂
4. I'd love to witness the era when the pyramids were still under construction. It'd let me know the ancient technology and technique and answer all my questions about it.
5. A quality time spend with myself 🙂 I've learned that you are the one that can be your best friend! Besides that, my friends, books and music are the best mood setters 🙂
6. There are countless things I'd like to change!! Mains are to remove corruption and poverty, environmental issues and the current education system!
1. One day at a time
2. Nana Patekar because, apart from being a celebrity, he is also serving the nation by helping our poor farmers, despite the fact that he isn't rich.
3. 10 years of excellent health because that can ensure 30 more years of good health.
4. The day of my 10th standard result. My result (63.20 %) is like my Lifetime Achievement Award. The number might sound less but it was very good for me due to the circumstances I had encountered then. I remember I was the only one among the friends who wasn't tensed that day. Kyunki tension toh unko aata hai jinko achhe marks milne ki ummeed hoti hai 😛
5. Bhagavad Gita and teachings of Swami Vivekananda.
6. I would abolish the word 'Caste' and all caste organizations. In fact, I would make sure that the mere utterance of the word is a grave crime. Hopefully, our CBFC Chief Pahlaj Nihalni too will start muting the word caste (or anything related to it) in our films 😛
Taylor Swift, I love her too! 😀
Brihadeshwara Temple, huh? I'll have to google it now.
Thanks for your wonderful answers, Ravani!
