Answer by Raakhee V. Menon: Getting stopped at every red signal on their way to work on a late day… would be even better if they have a meeting first thing in the morning. Forgetting to take their mobile charger on a long trip to someplace where they cannot get a suitable spare charger. Dropping…

What is your favorite cliché?
Answer by Raakhee V. Menon: I have three top favorite ones… Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Everything and everyone is not equally beautiful or ugly in the eyes of everyone who sees them. Each of us see things and people differently. Our thought processes are different. So the way our brain reacts…
Which position do you like?
Answer by Raakhee V. Menon: Let’s talk about my most favorite activities where the ‘position’ is vital… Reading I sit exactly like this when I read… It’s usually on my bed or on a sofa… with lots of soft cushions all around. I may toss and turn occasionally but the cushions remain all around all…
Can how you treat your parents influence your children to treat you the same way you treat your parents?
Answer by Raakhee V. Menon: To a certain extent I think it does. I mean, if you ignore your parents or if you treat them with disrespect, your children are watching you do it and they would see nothing wrong if they do the same thing to you. Works the other way too… if they…
Are children a liability or a privilege?
Answer by Raakhee V. Menon: If you wanted to have them, they are a privilege. If they were unwanted accidents, then they’re a liability. (Okay, that is subject to change with time. I agree!)

Why does each person have a different view of life?
Answer by Raakhee V. Menon: That’s because life doesn’t happen to everyone in exactly the same way. At any given instant of time, no person is at the same place on the face of the earth. We are all at different places. We all view the world from different angles. Then how can we expect…
What are some things you realize as you get older?
Answer by Raakhee V. Menon: When it comes to friends, the numbers don’t matter as long as you matter to them. 2 genuine friends is worth much more than 600 Facebook contacts. ♥ It’s always better to be someplace where you are wanted, rather than at someplace you want to be. ♥ That lion quote…
Why do you think people are so easily offended presently as opposed to 10 or 15 years ago?
Answer by Raakhee V. Menon: I used to ponder about this fad often, especially when I look around at the people around me. Just about everyone gets offended about something or the other. This wasn’t the case while I was growing up. Everyone at least had a better sense of humor. I have a few…
What are some other things that we should care about other than career, family and health?
Answer by Raakhee V. Menon: Thank you for the A2A. Besides my family, my career and my health, there is one other thing that I devote a lot of time and energy into. And that is for enriching my soul. Every day, in some or the other way, I learn something new by which my…
