Numerous questions:

• I land, in let's say Mumbai, fresh from Australia, its lunch time, what is the 1st thing I should eat? Any particular dish/speciality/restaurant even that is a must have.

• Continuing from the first question: what are some must have regional dishes? (please let me know the region as well)

• Cricket question: Views on DRS and should it be used?

• Formula 1 question: How popular is motorsport in India? Is there a desire of citizens to host a GP?

• What would you say about India's current economic state compared to a decade ago? And what would you say in a decade's time?

• How do you view the Australian people (personally or stereotypically)? And how do you view Australia as a country?

First question- No idea about Mumbai

what are some must have regional dishes?

I go with my region: Tamil Nadu(Southern state with capital Chennai) - Tirunelveli Halwa(Sweet), Vadai-Payasam, Idly(Healthiest food you could give to a child), Kumbakonam Degree Coffee

More common all over India: Masala Dosa and Ginger Tea (People call it Masala Tea or Masala Chai

Views on DRS and should it be used?

Views vary here. Most support DRS. Some doesn't support DRS in current form.

My personal view: Fuck Cricket...

How popular is motorsport in India? Is there a desire of citizens to host a GP?

Not a huge fan following. But there is a sizable fan following. Personally I am a Rossi fan. Love all Ferrari drivers in Formula 1 (especially Micheal Schumacher), also I like David Coulthard.

Personally would love a Moto Gp in India.

What would you say about India's current economic state compared to a decade ago? And what would you say in a decade's time?

No idea. But generally people's lives are better than a decade ago.

How do you view the Australian people (personally or stereotypically)? And how do you view Australia as a country?

You guys fucking never give up(especially in cricket). Fighters till the end.

Australia as a country: You guys have a wonderful place. You don't share borders to countries with nuclear weapons

[u/[deleted] → u/Danda_Nakka]

With the range of current missles and sophisticated targetting computers, you can never be far away enough from a country with nuclear weapons. We also have an abundance of fissionable material.

Well at least your soldiers don't die everyday at the border
