My Answers

What is your favorite flower and why?

I’ve talked about this before and most people who know me know that my favourite flowers are lillies. I don’t know why lol, I’ve been obsessed with them all my life. I used to spend weeks just painting lillies when I was a kid. If I find those paintings, I’ll share pictures of them here one day.

In your opinion, what is the difference between Sci-Fi and fantasy?

Well, Sci-Fi is based on scientific possibilities whereas fantasy is based on the imagination.

Which do you have a harder time reading, fiction or nonfiction?

I definitely have a harder time with non-fiction. However, I am trying to read more non-fiction this year. Even if it takes a while to finish.

Does butter go on everything? (My sister challenged my dad with this one)

I like butter on most things BUT I don’t like food that’s cooked in butter. It gets that weird, creamy taste which is too greasy for me.

What is your worst (physical) fear and why?

Butterflies, I will not be explaining further lol.

What is the oldest book you ever read?

Well, as someone who studied history I’ve read a lot of really old texts- back from the time when texts were just drawings too lol. Other than that, I guess Meditations by Marcus Aurelius which was written in the 2nd Century AD.

What is your favorite part of Spring and why?

The flowers- they’re beautiful. And the rain which I also love.

Do you prefer to be hot or cold?

I prefer to be cold, I can always put on more clothes. Also, I hate sweating.

Do you prefer physical book, Ebooks, or audio books?

Physical books.

If you were stuck on an island, what is one thing you would have to have with you?

Wifi lol. Just kidding. Something to read probably because I don’t want to go mad.

Do you create new names for your characters or use normal ones? Do you always use names?

I usually use names especially for major characters. The names are normal, the characters much less so…

  1. To no ones surprise, you are so freaking awesome and lovely Pooj! I really loved the Marcus Aurelius mention on an answer! And I thank you so very much for the nomination! Your book release day is soooo closeeeee! 🙏🏻❤️

    1. Aww thank you boo!!! So excited for the release, can’t believe it’s so soon ❤️

  2. I don’t think of milk and cereal as soup, but do we live in soup? By that I mean the air that envelopes the Earth and the sounds that the air carries? The sounds of soup…

    1. Omg I’ve never even thought of that, maybe we are in a bowl of soup lol 😂

      1. It’s food for thought, eh Pooja? ☺️

  3. Congrats!!! Such a funny thing about butterflies. This reminds me of A hundred years of Solitude by Marquez. Such an epic book

  4. Congratulations, Pooja for the award!🎉🎉
    You do deserve this award.

    Your answers are genuine. They carry meaning beyond the formality.

    It is interesting that some bloggers are still doing awards. This is a good way to build connections.

    Why you fear butterflies?
    They are harmless I think.

    This one is a good read. I like it when people talk about basic life stuff in general way.

    1. Thank you so much! 😊 I’m really glad you enjoyed the answers. I have a phobia of butterflies that’s why 😂

      1. I will be doing this award. It has been a long time since I responded to any blogger award.
        Can you add me in the nominated list?

        1. Yes, absolutely- adding you to the list right now.

  5. Ahhaha damn, it was a while ago indeed… Well, first comment after years from me; congratulations and i love how you have been consistent again. Dont know if you remember me, but I do wish you the best of luck with everything, pooj! Take care of yourself!!🙏🏾

    1. It’s been so long but of course I remember you and so happy to see you in my comments again. Thanks so much and take care too 😊

        Advantage Of It
        Connecting With
        Others Online on
