Re: Cafe interview Q&A : Fresh-Baked-Pie (Answers)
They’re going to be sick of me by the time I’m done here haha… everyone’s going to need a fresh baked detox :rotfl:
Can and still do… it comes out if I’m angry or I’m around that section of family a lot. Sometimes I’ll mutter in it while I’m cooking.
Re: Cafe interview Q&A : Fresh-Baked-Pie (Answers)
@Anjul another resident curmudgeon… :hat:
***“A Pi is a Pi. Why?”
Constants in life are rare and almost always important. From the link; “So it’s fair to ask: Why do mathematicians care so much about pi? Is it some kind of weird circle fixation? Hardly. The beauty of pi, in part, is that it puts infinity within reach. Even young children get this. The digits of pi never end and never show a pattern. They go on forever, seemingly at random—except that they can’t possibly be random, because they embody the order inherent in a perfect circle. This tension between order and randomness is one of the most tantalizing aspects of pi.”
***“What is fuzzy logic?”
Sounds like what happens to me in the morning after a restless nights sleep when I put salt in my tea instead of sugar or when my son is attempting to reason with me in an absurd way e.g:
Kid - “Mum you should buy up all the candy in the world and then go back to school to become a dentist , give out the candy, and then charge everyone a lot of money… like $50 a tooth”
Me - :bizz:
***“What is happiness for you?”
So many things! A warm little body curled up on the couch with me while we read or watch a movie. Charlie’s reaction every time I come home. A really good laugh… the kind of laugh that leaves you in tears and your stomach on the verge of aching. A really, really good cup of tea. Soup on a cold blustery day. A book that stays with me long after I’ve read it. Ideas that put plans into motion. A clean car. A long bath with lots of bubbles. Kisses and hugs. Good friends. Solitude.
***“What thing or part you miss in debates and discussions here?”
Well other than the obvious language/ translation issues, I think that people put too much stock in past interactions. I’ve seen posters make a solid point in discussion here and get ignored or antagonised because of past behaviour, etc. We have to be careful that we aren’t making people into caricatures of our own perceptions. Real people with real lives and real feelings are behind the typing and screens. I try and keep this in mind always.
***“How do you keep yourself healthy? Tell us some excercises if you do.”
Well I eat just about everything in moderation. I’m all about probiotics (everyone should watch this documentary: CLICK.) And I walk everywhere… minimum of 5 miles a day usually. I do a lot of Pilates and ballet based exercises.
***“Change in mandate is a sudden phenomena ie election time or one-two years, or it is an outcome of series of events/happenings in five or ten years?”
A new administration will always have more political clout than an old one.
“You are taking an ill friend to hospital, at one point you break some traffic rule (knowingly or unknowingly), the aunthorised person upon seeing the patient offers you lesser fine for a different traffic offense that you haven’t committed. She tells that the rule that you violated requires to appear before magistrate today itself and in this one, you will be relieved right now getting a receipt/challan. What will you do and why?”
I’d do whatever it takes to get my friend to the hospital quickly… if in that instance, it means leaning on the graciousness of a city official, so be it. If it means taking the bigger punishment so be it. The important portion of your story is the friend in need.
***“One evening, you are at some public place waiting for some friend, a man aged 20-22 years with a lady of nearly same age carrying a baby approaches you and tells that he is a labourer from a different state/province had come to nearby city for work, all their belongings (money, documents and cloths) are stolen, they somehow managed to reach your city and seek little monetary (whatever little you could) help from you for food and stay. What will you do and why.”
I’ve literally invited people into my home. I’ve taken people to Target to purchase Christmas presents for their kids. My former husband used to call me gullible. And you know what… I’m okay with that. I’m not tooting my own horn here… I’m quite serious. If you have, you must share. It’s really that simple. And most of us on this forum have so much we could give.
I’m looking forward to getting to know you better @Anjul! Interesting questions!
Re: Cafe interview Q&A : Fresh-Baked-Pie (Answers)
**Amazing and detailed answers :k:
Waiting for my turn

Re: Cafe interview Q&A : Fresh-Baked-Pie (Answers)
@C0AS … this is a wall of questions! :help: I’m going to answer in stages! **
*“Pi or pie?”
Pi! See this: CLICK
***“When you are old, what do you think your son will ask you to tell stories about?”
Hmmm… let me ask him! “For help on my homework mum… duh… especially algebra.” :rotfl:
But my first thought was he won’t ask for stories so much as; “how do you know when you find the one?” that kind of thing… I hope he asks about when I was a little girl.. or his own childhood… or his family history.
***“Whats your son’s name? (If u dont mind telling)”
Cavan
***“How old is he?”
Aath
***“How he looks like? We haven’t seen his pic, u may share with us, if u like”
*
**I’ve posted what he looks like here: CLICK … But how about a baby picture as well:
***“Is he going to be a geologist in future? Coz he collects rocks n stones :cb:”
He stills me that he wants to be a botanist farmer… it’s anyone’s guess!
***“Are u looking a wifey for him?”
***Absolutely… I’m hoping to marry him off in the next year so I can gain back my freedom! :lusi:
**What if in future u find out that he loves his wife more than you? (sadly)
**Just as there are different degrees of love, there are different kinds of love. The love he will have for her, the way in which he will cherish her will be completely different and a gift that is only for them. That is not the relationship I want with the boy… he’s my son. Our relationship was formed before he was even born. A romantic love is also special but in a different way. Love is not a competition and I hope I love her in the same way I love him.
Be back with others in a bit.

Re: Cafe interview Q&A : Fresh-Baked-Pie (Answers)
**Pretty boy 
He will have a great healthy life 
n I hope he will keep his mom happy…
**
Re: Cafe interview Q&A : Fresh-Baked-Pie (Answers)
You people must be sick of me by now… seriously. @C0AS here are the next set:
**“Being a mom, what irritates u most abt him?”
**
The fact that once I master one stage of his development, he changes and we enter a new phase.
"So, Charlie is a cute white young boy, when is he going to marry? / Are you looking a wifey for him or not yet? /** His wifey will also b white? / Are you a racist? If not, y dont u look a black wifey for him?"
**I think perhaps you have wandered into @Bobby1’s weed thread and gotten a contact high.
**“What if u find out in future that Charlie is in love with your enemie’s (or someone u dont like) female dog, will u act like typical desi moms or will u b a moderate one n accepting?”
********Well considering the fact that Charles once spent the day having a full on love affair with one of my kitchen sponges before tearing it to shreds I’d say it’s likely best that I leave him to his amorous pursuits without interference.
**“Suppose u went on safari in Africa, a lion jumps n comes from nowhere to u, and says, only one of u can leave, Charlie or you, what will u do?”
**********Dude… I’m the mother of an eight year old… and honestly Charles would sacrifice himself before I even had to make that decision.
**“If Charlie gets a job in a circus, will u b ok with it?”
************Yeah… both he and the kid need to start earning their keep!
**“If Charlie is so friendly, I want him to be my kitty’s frnd, any prb?”
**************Charles loves kitties!!! The most amazing thing I ever saw was when he and I were outside this Summer and a sparrow walked up to him and hopped on to his nose. He didn’t move an inch. By the time I grabbed my phone the bird had flown away. He’s a gentle giant. When he bounds after things it’s because he is in a playful mood. In his downtime he’s a big lump of love.
**“If Charlie could talk in english, what would u talk abt with him?”
****************Well… and I don’t know what this says about me but I already talk to him regularly. I think he’d mostly channel the dog from Up: CLICK
“What do you hate most and love most about Charlie?”
****************I mean… how could you not love him:
There is nothing that I hate.
**
**“What movie can you watch over and over without ever getting tired of?”
****Pride and Prejudice, What Dreams May Come, Big Fish, The Godfather, Only Lovers Left Alive
**“Have you been pulled over by a cop? If yes, why?”
******Never.
“If you couldn’t be convicted of any one type of crime, what criminal charge would you like to be immune to?”
******Assault… and then I’d walk around like a dark vigilant protecting women in dark alleys with a Louisville slugger. That’s the first thing that comes to mind but more practically, probably something related to piracy law.
**“Your fav GS smiley?”
********Sooo many! I think this one is hilarious: 
**
“What’s the best/worst practical joke that you’ve played on someone or that was played on you? (In school, uni, work or parties)”
**“What food hv you never eaten but would really like to try?”
************Not a specific food… an experience: CLICK
**
“Do u like spicy food?”
**************LOL… I’m Jamaican.
**
“Any unusual place u hv been?”
****************That’s rather subjective… what is unusual to you? Where haven’t you been?
**“Suppose, u r travelling alone in ur car at night, n suddenly zombies attack ur car, what will u do? You will fight, run away or let them eat u without doing anything?”
******************I’m in the car so I have the upper hand. Evasive maneuvers and live to fight another day.
**“What’s your haunted house story?”
********************Well I’m not sure this counts but my sister just purchased a house that looks like it belongs in an old episode of Scooby Doo.
**
“What do you do when you hear something fall in the middle of the night while you are in bed?”
**********************It’s just me and the boy here (Charlie is a useless guard dog). I get up and check out all noises.
**“What’s something people don’t worry about but really should, in ur opinion?”
************************The environment. I think we are really taking this all for granted in a horrific way!!! edited because I completely misread it… nice catch @LP
**“If u could go back in ur past n change something, what would that be?”
**************************I’d have my father tested sooner so he’d have had a chance to live.
“What’s the most tasty food you have cooked?”
****************************You will have to come visit and tell me! The boy likes my pumpkin creme brulee around this time of year.
**
“If u were given 10 million dollars, what will u do with that?”
******************************Charity, take care of my family. Same thing I do with my current money.
“If u hv to choose between lots of luxury/sports cars and GS, where will u park all those cars? 
”
********************************Oh I hate to drive… truly. I’ll take you crazy people any day!
**“Are you a ‘Sleepless elite’? Or do u get enogh sleep?”
**********************************I am a parent. None of us get enough sleep.
**“What is the longest u hv gone without sleep?”
************************************Five days.
**“What was your most recent lie?”
**************************************Question 37 
Re: Cafe interview Q&A : Fresh-Baked-Pie (Answers)
Re: Cafe interview Q&A : Fresh-Baked-Pie (Answers)
Oops! Sorry LP… I read that question completely opposite! I am a bit tired and it is late here. Let me change that!
Re: Cafe interview Q&A : Fresh-Baked-Pie (Answers)
I thought so too 
Re: Cafe interview Q&A : Fresh-Baked-Pie (Answers)
@C0AS… here are your remaining questions and answers. 
**
“What satisfies u more, a bitter truth or a beautiful sweet lie?”
**The truth. Nothing solid can be built on lies. I tell this to my son all the time. No matter what you think my reaction will be, it will always be worse if I catch you in a lie.
**
**“What cheers u up? Other than ur son n Charlie”
****A good book, my family, chatting with friends, art galleries.
**“Do you think that humans will ever be able to live together in harmony? If yes, hows that possible?”
******Unfortunately no.
“What do you do to make the world a better place? Or u r not interested in making it a better place?”
********I wish that people wouldn’t underestimate their capacity to change the world… I’m not sure how we got this degree of apathy woven into out subconscious but I wish we’d unravel it in a hurry.
**"Do u believe in existance of jinns (genie?)
**********No.
**“Your fav sport/game/book?”
**Check earlier answers for books… I’m a diehard Tottenham Hotspurs fan. Also massively into hockey! I like scrabble, risk, kalooki, and monopoly
**
**“You are afraid of, lizards/cockroaches or scorpions?”
****I’ve eaten scorpion before! No none of those… deathly afraid of frogs though! shudders Miserable slimy creatures!
**“Your fav topic for debates? Other than Charlie ;)”
******Ohhh I’ll talk just about anything… as is clearly evident in this thread lol
**
“What type of questions do u hate to answer?”
********Ones that are meant to hurt rather than inform.
**“What type of topics do u hate talk abt?”
**********I don’t believe in making limits on topics.
**“We all say n show good habits n good things of ourselves, tell us ur 5 bad habits that u really want to change?”
************Sometimes I have a temper (curse you hormones!), I can be very hard on the boy and think I should ease up, I could be much more patient with my parents and in general, I could do a better job clearing my sink at night… sometimes I’m just so tired, I would like to not complain as much… show more gratitude in general.
**
“How many siblings do u hv?”
**************I have two siblings and a ton of cousins.
**
“Are you the elder one or younger one or in the middle?”
****************I am the eldest of three girls.
**
“You are attached more to ur sister or brother?”
******************See above.
******************“Mother or father?”
******************Both… I love them enormously and there is little I wouldn’t do for them.
**“What does ur signature mean?”
********************We are stronger than we could ever imagine.
**“Who is your hero? Other than ur father and son”
**********************Single mothers. I have so much support in my family I can’t even really call myself one. There are women with so much less and they still manage to do a tremendous job.
**“Whats ur secret talent that we at GS dont know abt?”
************************See answers to @aqua70’s set of questions.
**“Are you tired of my questions?”
**************************Well I think I’m tired of myself at this point LOL!
**“Did my questions irritate you?”
****************************A few puzzled me but no… thank you so much!
Re: Cafe interview Q&A : Fresh-Baked-Pie (Answers)
Alright… that’s a wrap from the Question thread. You’re all a helluva lot of fun! And if this was some kind of GS hazing I hope I passed!
@Hakuna_Matata and @Pakistani_Prince… you two mentioned follow ups… feel free to drop them here or PM me. :flowers:
I am really looking forward to @LP’s thread!! :flower1::flower1::flower1:
Re: Cafe interview Q&A : Fresh-Baked-Pie (Answers)
Yo i don’t know if you listen to drake but what do you think of his use of patois and afrobeat music in his recent albums? A lot of jamaicans are pissed at him cause they think he’s appropriating their culture and never spoke like that before.
Re: Cafe interview Q&A : Fresh-Baked-Pie (Answers)
I got another question.
I know it’s personal, but are you Muslim? Not that it matters but I’m just curious.
Re: Cafe interview Q&A : Fresh-Baked-Pie (Answers)
