A movie that made you cry?
The Shawshank Redemption. A lame one that I cried for would be Because of Winn-Dixie
One thing you love and hate about India?
Everyone is so kind and it just feels like there is really good energy here. I hate the communication. A lot of stuff gets lost in translation
One thing you love and hate about the United States?
I love that you can always meet new and eclectic people. Something I hate is that the first thing that people ask you in Los Angeles is, ‘what do you do for a living?’ I don’t think that is the way you should get to know someone, based on what their profession is

Paper Planes by M.I.A
