Favorite Book?

Favorite Singer?
I am not a huge fan of English music and thus my choice might be unknown to quite a few, but it is 'Strings' band. I really like Juice Wrld and xxtentaction (if you want to know about English music interests of mine).
Favorite Movie?
I am probably the last person you should inquire about movies from. I do watch quite a few shows but not many movies. The Martian and Wall-e were good.
Favorite Ice Cream?
Strawberry closely followed by Vanilla.
Can I sing/dance well?
Nah, I am just average at both. They aren't my cup of tea.
Have I been on a cruise?
Never but would love to!
Have I enjoyed being sick?
I swallowed a coin when I was 3/4 years old. It got stuck near my Trachea and they had to do a surgery to take it out. I was advised 3 weeks bed rest and guess what? I got holidays from school. I enjoyed it quite a bit as it wasn't painful, yet I was enjoying like I was bearing a lot of pain.:p
Tea or Coffee?
Tea
DC or Marvel?
I have absolutely zero clue about movies. My friends discuss DC quite a lot and I sit between them as if they are talking in some alien language, as I don't even know anything about these. I am not a movie buff AT ALL.
Extrovert or Introvert?
Extrovert
Favorite Cricketer?
Babar Azam, because from when I started following cricket (2012) Pakistan didn't have a single outstanding player. I liked Afridi after his once in a blue moon heroics, but realized how 'consistent' he was and thus lowered my expectations. Once upon a time, Asad Shafiq was my favorite test batsman only due to the fact that we and him share the same first name :lol:
Favorite team other than Pakistan:
Bangladesh and Australia (in that order)
Best individual innings?
Stokes's hundred against Australia at Old Trafford in the Ashes, last year.
Best bowling spell?
Amir's opening spell against India in CT 2017's Final.
Have I met any cricketer?
I have only met Shahid Afridi and he was quite rude. Maybe it was due to the fact that he was tired, as he had travelled some 10 hours before meeting me. On the positive side, he didn't refuse for a picture and his cousin Javed Afridi (owner of Peshawar Zalmi) who was also accompanying him, was quite humble.

Strings

Not 100% sure about what you are talking but if it is James Bond film related (which I assume it is) I have absolutely zero clue about the movie because I don't watch movies AT ALL.

Hospitable people is my most favorite thing about Pakistan.

Fame, because fame also allows one to complete many of his other goals. Money can't buy happiness and if you aren't happy then life is meaningless (at least in my opinion). Whereas, fame can bring happiness to many people (maybe including me).


EDIT: I didn't realize that I haven't answered the first question of @Na Maloom Afraad I am really sorry. So, here is the answer to the first question:

I would revive CLT20 as an 8 team tournament consisting of 1 team from each of the following nations; Australia, India, Pakistan, England, South Africa, Bangladesh, New Zealand and Afghanistan. The winners of T20 leagues from these countries will play in the CLT20.

There would be 2-3 windows free of international Cricket and during that time the league will be played. All the teams will be play each other twice; home and away.

Some Pros of this idea:
  • More money for the franchises, broadcasters and players etc
  • Better TV viewership and Ticket sales as people will see something other than International Cricket.
  • No fatigue for players and viewers as it will be played over a course of 2-3 windows
  • Competitive games
Some Cons:
  • Maybe no Indian team vs Pakistan team games, due to the matters beyond cricket field
  • Logistics problems
  • Clash of franchises for players

Not really but I am trying to learn Guitar.

Honestly, not at all because currently I only watch Cricket and some Football. I used to watch Tennis quite a bit, a few years earlier but I don't watch nowadays. I do play Tennis here and there but I don't watch nowadays.

Dr. Phil

None currently.

Ok, I'll shoot (hope you return the favor)..


How would you describe your lockdown?

Have you kept yourself physically active during lockdown? If so, how?

What surprising thing have you been stocking up on (that isn’t toilet paper, masks, gloves, sanitizers)?

What are some things you have realized that you don’t really need during this pandemic?

What habit have you started, or broken, during the quarantine?

Have you done something during the lockdown that you wouldn't normally associate yourself with?

Which specific place are you most looking forward to visiting once this is all over?

What skills have you gained, improved or worked on during the quarantine?

What’s something you own that feels useful?

What is your Covid-19 nickname/alter-ego/if any?

What part of your shelter-in-place/residence have you come to appreciate the most during quarantine?

What’s a story – from a book, a movie, an article, a conversation – that you’ve been gripped by recently? Why did it capture you?

What problem—either yours, or something more global —do you wish you could solve?

What’s the easiest part about the quarantine?

What’s something that you miss most from the pre-COVID days? And what do you miss the least?

What’s the most generous act you’ve seen recently?

What has changed the most about you during quarantine?

Lastly, what do you hope we all learn or take away from this experience?

Favourite book?
Pakistan Under Siege; Extremism, Society, and the State.

Oliver Twist was also a good one which I read. Its nucleus was social injustice, poverty and child labor. I do have an interest in these fields so it was a good read for me.

On a side note, I have been trying to get a couple of books about Cricket in Pakistan but sadly they are out of stock online. Unfortunately, I can't even go to the retail stores to check due to COVID-19.
