WHAT IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND MEET ONE OF YOUFAVOURITE PHILOSOPHERSWHAT WOULD YOU ASK HIM?If I could go back in time, I would like to meet my favourite Socrates! I’dask him the reason why he believed in human rationality? How was he sosure and positive that human beings have a capacity to understand that anunexamined life is not worth living? As for today, the situation is verydi erent and it is rare to nd people using their rationality and examiningtheir own lives to nd higher purpose and meaning. In such a scenario,how do we still keep ourselves positive and hopeful?- Himani Chaukar, Professor, Dept. Of PhilosophyWHAT IFJOEY AND PHOEBEHAD GOT MARRIED?If they get married, they will be the weirdest couple! Phoebe will makeJoey redo the Guitar training, explaining him the cat claw and dinosaurclaw. Whenever needed, Phoebe would use Gladius and Glymnis to scareJoey and get things done. Would Joey still continue with his 'ju ma plu e'French? If he ever fathers their child, he'll be a dad yelling at his kids 'Joeydoesn't share food' and ght for that last slice of pizza with Phoebe.- Shruthi Narayan, FYBA

UR WHAT IF YOU HAD ANY ONE OFS DOREMON’S GADGETS? Although I love the Anywhere Door, I'd use the gadget with wishful food, because getting food whenever I need is di cult. Another gadget that I would use is the Mind-Skill Manipulator where you can play with your Health, smartness and looks - does this even require a reason? - Aparna Varma, SYBA WHAT IF YOU GET TO WRITE A STORYLINE FOR THE NEXT SEASON OF F.R.I.E.N.D.S? I’d be more than happy. It will go along the lines of Emma and Ben together, Rachel and Ross would buy a new house somewhere near Monica's. Of course Joey wouldn't get married - I can't see him married. e kids will grow up together only to begin an all new season of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. And Joey would be their cool uncle who’d look after them and guide the guys on how to irt. - Uma Kabe, FYBA



WHAT IFNED STARKMARRIED CERSEI LANNISTER? at's di cult because Cersei hates the North and the Starks. But if she learnsto love him, they'd be the most powerful couple in the seven kingdoms, or,judging by the type of woman that she is, she'd break Ned into pieces andbetray him without a doubt. As she loves her children, she'll love the kids shehas with Ned. But Jon Snow will most probably be dead, or o to somewherefar as Cersei will kill him for who he isVedhanti More, FYBScWHAT IF NED STARKWAS REVEALED ALIVEAFTER THE EVENTS OF SEASON 5?He wouldn't survive for long without allies and, with his strong sense ofhonour, he would most probably ride to the gates of Winterfell alone andproclaim it as his, at which point Ramsey or Roose would appear, one bad andanother terrifying. If Ramsey gets there rst, then poor old dead Ned would beeven deader followed by weeks or months of torture and if it's Roose whoappears rst, it will probably be quick and quiet, so he cannot raise support orbecome a martyr. Best thing for Ned would be to join the Night’s Watch; theyneed the leadership and gurehead that Ned Stark can provide.- Natasha, FYBSc
