And now for the next one:
What skills do you want to learn, improve or master in 2018?
I want to learn man management skills. I usually live in my own world but to grow more as a person, I know I need to gel up with different people.
Which personal quality do you want to develop or strengthen?
Cool head. I cannot suppress my emotions. I always speak what I feel which sometimes is taken in bad taste by people as I criticize them on their face. I am laud them too but thats how I am. I feel it, I say it, on the face. Many people see me as a blunt, arrogant guy but in real I'm not. I just don't know how to do sugar coated talks on face and ridicule them when they turn their back.
Any particular habits you want to change or get rid of?
I'm a stubborn guy. If I don't feel like putting an effort into something, I'd not do it no matter what but usually when I do it, I've a very strong reason for my actions/inactions.
What do you plan to achieve this year in life and on these forums?
Nothing plans. May be I can more friends here, interact more and have good leisure time.
Who do you see as potential qualifiers for the Cricket World Cup from this year's WC qualifiers and why?
Afghanistan. They are fast growing as a new cricketing force in the associate division. I'd really want to see them doing good against the full member teams.
Who do you think will be the No 1 ranked team in Test cricket come December 2018 and why?
Definitely not India. Our batsmen lack temperament. Aggressive cricket won't work outside subcontinent. I think if Pakistan can sort out the batting woes, it can be them otherwise it'd be Australia.
Any particular cricketer you think is worth watching out for this year?
Willem Mulder and Sidharth Kaul if they get enough chances.
Who will you be supporting during the 2018 FIFA World Cup that starts in six months time?
Germany
