My dear and highly beloved Raka the journalist was kind enough to do this for me.. she interviewed me (I requested her to do that, because I got requests from some genuine blog friends to disclose myself on Blogger!) So yes..here's Ms.Raka Johar..oops..not Johar..I was just trying to make this a bit Koffee with Karan types. :D

So here I hand over the mike to Raka the rockstar! ;)
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Welcome back to my chat show, and you are reading todays interview with Crystal aka Aayushi... am i not sounding like a pro talking interviews and all?? :P.. maybe i should just start charging for my interviews.. okay jokes apart! incase you are thinking of clicking away from this blog.. you dare not.. because the real thing is here.. We are here to celebrate Aayushi's birthday but first we are going to discover a side to Aayushi we dont usually come across.
Q.1 I still can't believe at 14 you are so enterprising, creative and industrious too. I'm amazed. What do you eat to be such a larger than character? I think you are the youngest blogger on the block.. but its your maturity that stuns me.. Care to reveal your secret?
What if I come up with something like I eat one packet of Sona Chandi Chavanpraash on a daily basis? lol..Pj! Okay frankly..I'm someone who is into writing what her mind says so. What I feel is what I writer.. If you or anyone finds it so amazing that a 14 year old can write like that..then I'll tell you what my secret is.. I write what my heart and brains join and tell me to. Rash.Cute.Dark.Whatever..its my brain that calculates what I should be writing. The moment you stop letting the fact that "Will people read this article? Will they critisize it?" get into your mind..you really become someone with an independant mindset and you write what you feel, regardless of whether people like it or hate it.

Q2.amazing!! on coming to your blog wont ever get clue of your age, seeing the maturity and confidence with which you discuss life and people, and churn out creative masterpieces.. so tell me what drives you to write??
Somone tell me that why does he/she live? Some may suppose that THEY HAVE to, and some will say because its a celebration and they want to be a part of it.
That pretty much why I write..no aspiring writer, no wannabe journalist..I write because its natural. And for think which come from inside you don't really need reasons for them always! :)
And yes..there is always a feeling inside me that there is a voice which is too meek at times to speak, and it needs a loud speaker to let it be heard by intellectuals. Maybe Blogger was a platform which I found which wouldn't be full of things like jealousy and the lousy human sentiments. And perhaps I'm a person who isn't easily emotionally involved, so I prefer my relationships like they are on blogger. I know I went off track, but that's quite much a part of why I writer.



Q3.Impressive... so tell me aayushi.. how do you perceive yourself? [what kind of a person are you?]

Someone very headstrong and obstinate about what she wants. (I know that's a very bad way to start this..but whatever)
I can go to any limit to achieve something which I really want, but most of the times I'm really lazy with it. Someone who will strive to make her image from a nobody to a somebody everywhere she goes. There is a weird instinct in me, that if everyone joins in the crowd, what difference will it make if another face is added to it? You were born to resist..to fight for what you want, and that's what I am up to. Maverick, and independant..you can't get me influenced easily, nor do I try influencing people. Maybe that's one reason why people generlally form wrong notions about me, 'cos I don't care to clear them. However rude I may sound saying this..but that's an ugly fact about me. I am non-chalant when it comes to people. Something what I think is good about me-I'm a very straightforward speaker. Its like I don't believe in hiding thiings which I don't like. So if I don't like it, I face it, change it, or chuck it. Easiest policy for me. Etc etc. This is too lengthy..and if I start my thesis on myself, it won't end.

Q4.I have always meant to ask you.. how do you manage to take time out to create blog skins and templates, and then customizing them for your friends, and then blogging pretty regularly.. it all seems super human to me.. how do you balance it all?

This is quite a question. Loads of people asked that to me. Its mainly because in the 2-3 hours that I spend on Internet everyday. (Which is slowly going to be shortened due to exams) is spent so tightly that I try doing everything in this time. Like...if you give me these questions, I'll reply to one, and copy down the other three, and plan a reply to it. Planning so makes things easy. Btw, I ain't obsessed with this Chatting Mania..so most of my time is saved. And for my whole days's schedule (Yeah,I'm one of the ancient humans who live on schedules!) you can very well see, I leave only 2 hours of studying. :D And yeah..when I want to do something for my people, I do it..even if I have to miss other important stuff for that!

Q5. Wow!! okay tell me any particular reason why you choose Crystal as your pen name??

What do you feel like when you see a Crystal? Something transparent,beautiful,and CLEAR! So that is precisely what had me trailing around having Crystal as my nom de plume. And another fact is I love Crystals. And the last reason..the poems which I wrote earlier always had CRYSTAL as my alias. So thats why! :)

Q6. So where do you see yourself at 20? strong an confident as ever and still blogging or sans blogging?

As far as I can imagine..I think I will be blogging, and be pretty regular to it! :D..I may be someone who has chosen humanities as her mainstream.But but but, you can never be too predictive, and being a stark Aquarian..I am pretty much unpredictable. But yes, I think I can be pretty sure of the fact that I will be blogging.

Q7.Coming back to blogs, do you think that friendships that blossom on blog-world are for keeps?

I didn't think on these lines till last year, but an incident changed my notion on that. Friendships which occur on BlogoSphere are for real. People do feel about their chums over here, and they are considerate. I remember anwering a question on Mayz' blog that what're my views on friendships that bloom on net are illusionary because we don't see all the phases of a person..and know..my views definitely have changed,and I regret the negativeness in the reply!

Q8. You write some amazing poems and posts onlove, so do you believe in love?

If I say I don't..I'll probably be lying. Show me on person who doesn't believe on it. Even if love doesn't mean a boyfriend or girlfriend relationship. Love can be shown to parents,friends,net friends..anyone! And as for the poin that I write about love a lot..is probably because I find that it is something that every person has experienced in life. Apart from that..I somehow am not in favour of this gf-bf shit, and writing long love letters about them. I mean its my life, and that's how I want to shape it. I may have a guy..but I want to stick one. Probably that's the reason I never had a crush on anyone.

Q9 okay tell me something about Aayushi that no-one ever knows?

Lets bring the Crystal topic..crystals form illusions too,ryto? So why not leave this part for all of you to find out. Hehe..kiddin'. So Aayushi..someone who is very straight about things, and get emotionally attached toooooooo late! It takes me ages to call someone a friend, but it takes a micro second to give a hand to someone in need. My biggest drawback is I am someone who perceives..analyzes..perceives and analyzes more.and then over-perceives and over analyzes. Adventurous. Unpredictable. Comical..and oh yes, I can't miss MAVERICK. Someone who is into telling it straight, and doing what SHE pleases..and often is misled by her blind beliefs. But to an extent, she enjoys the experiences too! :-)

Q10. Okay so we all know you are hot property, a girl ready to metamorphose into a fine young woman.. tell me.. what makes you a cut above the rest? now dont be modest.. give all those competing with you a run for their money... tell us why no one can ever be Aayushi?

Modesty and me..lol! Trust me..you need to crack a bigger joke..m seriously NOT humble or modest. I boast like hell, and yup..m totally self-centered at moments. I'm a humanitarian when it comes to social work..though that is the only think which I don't boast around off. Maybe that is why you can't be me. Jokes apart! So let's give this a hint of modesty..you can't be me...because I have seen few people who write what they feel, and feel what they write. Not tht I wish to say that some bloggers write just to please their audience.. but a lot of them are in the notions that they have to bring something which catches a lot of eyes. You can't be Crystal because to get that honesty inside you.. you have to face the things from a sufferer's point of you..you have to break the illusions!..and most importantly you HAVE TO be someone with a spark to chose her/his own identity.

Raka-->Phew!! that was some amazing answers Aayushi, i have to commend you for the fine young lady that you are, for the head firmly cemented on your pretty shoulders and for the lofty thoughts that make you stand out in the crowd. here's wishing you a very happy 14th birthday and that with every year we see a new side to you, and that this journey of Aayushi and her blogs continue to give us hope and spread smiles all over. Thank you for sharing yourself and your world with us, so that we know the Aayushi behind Crystal, it was a most fulfilling interview.
