If you could be any kind of food, what kind of food would you be? If I could be a food of any kind I would like to be a Gujarati food because its taste is sweet and a little spicy, but never harmful to your health. Gujarati food is also enjoyable anytime, anywhere and suitable to everyone.

If you could have any kind of super power, what super power would you have? If I could have any super power I would want to be a man with a body of rubber so that I could stretch my arms and legs as far as I wanted. This would allow me to live a life of animes, which is a Japanese cartoon.
