While we do that, bunch of fellow Ruiaites with us.the two words that pop up everywhere are “What if?”- Get ready for a wonderful experience!WHAT IFHARRY POTTERWAS PLACED IN SLYTHERIN?Harry and Snape’s relationship would be complicated because Snape would despise him, butthen would also be proud of him as one of the best Quidditch players in the Slytherin team.He would have access to way more information about Lord Voldemort and Death Eaters, thatbeing the common discussion topic among fellow Slytherins. He would feel isolated and turnsomewhat into another Tom Riddle - quiet, cunning and calculating like young Tom was. Notthat he would make Horcruxes, but would be into Dark Arts and a seeker of revenge. In fact,he would hate Voldemort more intensely and be possessed with the idea of killing him.Swamesh Lotlikar, FYBScWHAT IF ONE OF YOUR BESTSCIENCE FICTION DREAMSCAME TRUE?My biggest science ction dream is Inter Galactic travel using Wormholes! No matter howlong, you can travel instantaneously, not even limited by the speed of light! With the constantthreat of nuclear war which would leave our planet uninhabitable, we might have to leaveEarth and search for new planets to settle on. In such a scenario, when travelling to distantgalaxies might take 1000s of years by conventional means, wormholes provide a nifty littleshortcut. Also, if that is possible, I would love to travel in space seeing all the masterpieces ithas to o er and travel in time too.- Advait Unnithan, FYBScWHAT IFINDIA WAS NEVER COLONIZEDBY THE BRITISH?In that case, India would never have been looted. India would have been a wealthy country full oflazy teens. Instead of being united we would have been under the oppressive system of monarchy.All they'd do is ght amongst them. e social evils would continue to exist. e principles ofLiberty, Equality and Fraternity wouldn't have been implemented.- Sakshi Vaidya, FYBAWHAT IF YOU COULDGO BACK IN TIMEAND CHANGE ONE SIGNIFICANT POLITICAL DECISION/EVENT,WHAT WOULD THAT BE ?For me, the decision of taking the Kashmir Issue to UN was one of the biggest mistakes that we evercommitted because, by doing so, we turned a bilateral issue into an international one, allowing theinterference of other countries and superpowers. By making it an International dispute, we created onemore problem, i.e. we accepted Pakistan’s claim over Kashmir. So it would have been better if we hadresolved it at regional level.

But if she learns to 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 and betray him without a doubt. As she loves her children, she'll love the kids she has with Ned. But Jon Snow will most probably be dead, or o to somewhere far as Cersei will kill him for who he is Vedhanti More, FYBSc WHAT IF NED STARK WAS REVEALED ALIVE AFTER THE EVENTS OF SEASON 5? He wouldn't survive for long without allies and, with his strong sense of honour, he would most probably ride to the gates of Winterfell alone and proclaim it as his, at which point Ramsey or Roose would appear, one bad and another terrifying. If Ramsey gets there rst, then poor old dead Ned would be even deader followed by weeks or months of torture and if it's Roose who appears rst, it will probably be quick and quiet, so he cannot raise support or become a martyr. Best thing for Ned would be to join the Night’s Watch; they need the leadership and gurehead that Ned Stark can provide. - Natasha, FYBSc तू सीतेरामायणातील सीता ाागा जा सांगगी ी असतीस तर भारतीय सं ृ तीला अनुस न राजा णनू रामा ा आ चे े पालन करणे म ा होत.े प ी णनू माझे ते कत ही होत.े मी पित तसे ोबतच सुशील व ािभमानी ी होत.े ाच ह ाने मी पु ा महालात जाऊन रामाला (राजाला न े मा ा पतीला) जाब िवचारला असता की या सग ात माझा अपराध तरी काय होता एकदा पािव िस द क न झा ावर पु ा तसे कर ाची मला गरजच वाटत न ती. रामाची राजा णनू असलेली िवचारसरणी, ाची कु ल ित ा यात माझी होणारी कु चंबणा खरंच मह ाची न ती का आिण णनू च 'िनयमासं ाठी आपण की आप ासाठी िनयम ' असा ताि क मी न ीच िवचारला असता - Prajakta Dange, SYBA at’s not all!
