    I have a page but I'm rarely there. Mostly a big waste of time.

    Is there any real value to social media in your opinion?

    Bookface style social media - not really, I have actual friends, I don't need 100,000 people I have never met clicking a button to 'friend' me - what a load of garbage. I also don't need to know what people I have never met are having for lunch, nor how long it took for the wastes to be expelled from their poo shoot after the meal. As with Starter, I have a bookface page, but the last time I looked at it was Christmas eve 2013. Plus I don't need any government type agencies keeping track of everything I do (not that I do anything illegal or immoral etc, its just the thought of Big Brother watching )

    Blogs like this yes, you get to 'meet' people from around the globe who share common interests, and basically relax and zone out for a while (hello Big Brother!)

    Was George Orwell close to the truth in his book 1984?

    WTF? Although I have no clue if such a serial exists, I can guess to what it might be like

    1984? yes, I think at least we are partly there (I have to say I have not read the book but I know the concept)

    Do you tend to read all the classics or only from a specific genre?

    Come on.....The Ragini-Ranveer and then Ragini-Anmol love stories are every woman's dream. Wish I've ever met such guys.
    I'm Parul Chauhan's fan.

    Well, I tried to read as many classics as I could. Not because I'm an avid reader but because otherwise I should have been considered an ignorant. The romanian standards in the past were totally different than today. Even when I disliked a book I finished it because I had to.

    Did you read the classics of your national literature?

    Yes and no. I read what I like and some of the "classics" are boring as heck.

    Do you prefer to read fiction or fact?

    It was fiction in the past, then fact. Now I hardly read.

    Is it a book that you can read again and again without getting bored?

    There are a number of books which I have re read. Usually with a gap of a couple years between readings.

    What color shoes are you wearing today?

    Do you mind the switch to daylight savings time?
