AMA I'm Varun - Ask Me Anything

bowl or both.

Bat. I suck at bowling.

3 for 10 (might not be entirely accurate)

Favourite house hold chore.

Laundry.

Bowling action.

A short run up with a standard off spin bowling action.

Limited overs or Test match or both

Limited over erryday! I grew up following 50-overs cricket the most, and the other formats don't quite match up for me!

Pay on a first date or go dutch.

Go dutch. I am more than willing to make exceptions though.

How many girls have you kissed

Two.

Favourite colour.

Navy blue.

Describe your perfect Girl friend

Sane, smart, sexy (personality matters more here than looks), gets sarcasm, likes to talk, not a closet psychopath, I guess that's about it.

Have you ever gone commando.

No, can't remember.

Early riser of sleep in.

Sleep in.

Y fronts or boxers.

Good ol' Gin+Tonic. I had a wine by Oprah recently which was delish. If non-alcoholic, then probably Irish Latte (I'd love to try it with Baileys sometime)

Do you like women to show flesh or cover up.

Don't mind either.

What do you do for a living.

I completed my undergrad recently, and will be moving to Geneva, Switzerland for my graduate degree in a month. More on that in another answer!

5 members to not invite?

Choose any 5 from the members I didn't name.

In all honesty though, can't think of anyone whom I'd specifically bar due to any grudges.

Nah, It won't be that easy you have to name them and they should be someone you have interacted here on the forums for a few time.

 

[El Loco]

Would you judge me if I told you how many loops I have watched your avatar for?

 

[Varun]

Have had a close bond with even before you were made a mod. Is the feeling mutual?

It is. I feel you're a really nice guy, especially off the screen.

Not just because I worship the devil.

Have you completed your studies?

As I said in another answer, I have completed my undergraduate in physics, and will be moving to Geneva next month to pursue my masters (in all likelihood followed by a PhD) in physics as well. This and the last three months could thus be seen as transition months which mostly involved a lot of sleeping and some amounts of drinking.

Still do writing?

Seldomly. The last I wrote a poem was sometime in May. Don't really feel I've a lot of original ideas to write about currently and I hate kitsch so I try not to repeat the same writing ideas again and again.

 

[Varun]

Did you know you have been warned 4 times here at PC?

Yes. Two of them were legit, while the other two were you missing my sarcastic post, and Matt teaching me how to abuse my moderator powers.

How the fearsome tweak did you then become to be a Staff member?

It was all part of @User2010's plan to take over Planetcricket. And we succeeded.

I think the real question is how I managed to maintain my position after a few years of inactivity.

Is Matt that easily bought?

He's just a puppet and yikes zimrahil we shouldn't let all of this out in public

No.

Did you then try to ban those who warned you in the first place?

I can give it a go with a certain former admin who thought I was asking for links to pirated material...

What made you turn your behaviour around?

I was terrified of zimrahil.

Growing up.

Do you wish I could ask you about a different topic?

I should've added a disclaimer after the thread title.

Those were such good responses I am making you an Admin as I type

@MattW, @MattW, @MattW, @zimrahil, @Mod Police[DOUBLEPOST=1501962471][/DOUBLEPOST]

I'd feel that the purpose of the avatar has been fulfilled.

let's ban the hell outta these suckas

 

[zimrahil]

let's ban the hell outta these suckas

You are adapting to new role like a duck to water ..

 

[Varun]

Cricket

although it seems it'll happen in due time, give women's cricket a fair share in popularity with respect to men's cricket

World

The wealth distribution in the world is pretty unequal, and plenty of people die of hunger every year. I don't think an equal distribution of wealth is possible, nor do I support communism, but I'd like for everyone to have enough so that they don't die of malnourishment or hunger.

Your Life

Procrastinate less.

Planetcricket

Make me admin.

Jk, probably for a lot of old members like Mark, treva, Themer, CG123, or Aditya to be active again. Bring back the golden era of leagues section!

 

[SiriusBlack]

Around 300-400ml.

That's like a beer can? What drink?

What's your best drinking related story?

5 PC members you want to get drunk with?

Can't wait for this... ?

 

[Varun]

That's like a beer can? What drink?

Okay, let me correct this. I love beer and it mostly isn't too alcoholic, so I could do more than a few cans of it. When it comes to more alcoholic drinks, I'm good with 400ml. I am definitely capable of more though

What's your best drinking related story?

There are two. Both involved getting rekkity rekt at a friend's place and involved a variety of drinks as well as marijuana. Crazy, brilliant times.

5 PC members you want to get drunk with?

barmyarmy, User2010, zimrahil, SweetCaroline, and Simon for now

I'd definitely make the list a lot more bigger if possible.

(Down with MattW!)
