ICF interviews coffee_rules (Questions Thread)

[Gollum]

Beginning the process of the fourth member interview.

 

Featured poster will be @coffee_rules, another veteran on this forum and among the 2-3 active ICFers who actually likes Mysore Pak , and the only one who has the nerve to make fun of Bengali sweets. Apart from Team India he likes WI/Aus, a fan/follower of Karnataka cricket team and its players, big fan of Sachin, wants RCB to win the elusive trophy and is anti-MI/CSK fans. From my experience he is very active in the 'Chit Chat' section, keen follower of politics and outspoken, political correctness be damned !!! He cares deeply about national, dharmic and Hindu interests, can keep discussions civil no matter how heated the topics become. He is a connoisseur of classical music, dance forms and Indic traditions/history/culture. One can also count on him for recommendations about kick-ass movies and TV shows to watch. 

 

Fire away your questions, please stay classy and avoid trolling.

If I remember correctly you had moved back to India briefly, How was the transition and adjustment?

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

 

When did you move overseas, do you have plans of coming back to India permanently one day?

 

Apart from Mumbai, it is Karnataka that has given India maximum number of high quality players, also dominating the domestic circuit now. What do you think is the reason behind such a rich cricket legacy?

 

Karnataka has produced many good cricketers but the greats ones are: Prasanna, Chandrasekhar, Viswanath, Kirmani, Srinath, Kumble, Dravid. Pick your top 3 from this hallowed lot. 

 

What are your favorite cricket rivalries internationally as well as in domestics, IPL?

 

What is your favorite Indian classical dance form and why?

 

Do you think Yogi Adityanath is PM material? 

 

Since this is garnering more spotlight of late in Karnataka, what is your position on the Hindi vs regional languages debate? 

 

What are the areas where Modi sarkar has let you down?

Velu, if it isn't too much to ask why don't you post a couple of serious questions from time to time in these questions threads?

@velu picks up chicks at will. He is a pro. Last time we were drinking together, 2 waitresses came and sat on his lap. But later we realized we were too drunk, and those were 2 waiters , not waitresses.

Make sure it does not happen too often.

We could do with more questions dear ICFers. This initiative needs your active participation, I am sure y'all can spend a couple of minutes framing question(s) over here. Great chance to know more about your fellow poster, get insights etc.

1) You might have  seen crests of Congress and BJP. How are they different with policies ? Do you feel BJP is right wing ?

 

2) Why NJ assume you are citizen ? I have seen many Indians move south after citizenship. 

3) Growing up I remember seeing lot of fast bowlers and bowlers in general from Karnataka representing India. Where have they have gone ? Don’t see many represent India now. 
 

4) What do you suggest for investments in US ?

 

5) How tough is it to raise kids in US ?
 

 

[Khota]

Besides cricket any other sports you like? Which sport do you play personally.

[raki05]

How do you see Indian economy doing post covid and what is your thought of recent procurement of Russian weapon in haste to compensate the lackluster attitude of government on Sovereignty?

Chai + Garam Pakode /Bhajiya vs Dunkin Donut Coffee (or your fav brand) + Hash browns

[Mariyam]

Do you have some background in classical music?

 

Nadaswaram or the Shehnai? And on a generic level Carnatic or Hindustani music? Especially for vocals.

 

Mysore Pak or Dharwad pedha?

 

Why have you disowned RCB and why do you bandwagon with other sides? 

 

In your opinion, are NRIs a weak lobby for India? Why is there no rights based activism among Indians there, for say issues like the Bhopal gas tragedy where Union Carbide got away very lightly and there has been no semblance of justice.
