Five personalities that I would like to meet are:
1) Jane Austen, who has been my favourite author ever since I read Pride and Prejudice when I was in school.
2) Peter O’Toole, who is my favourite actor ever since I saw his striking blue eyes in the movie Lawrence of Arabia.
3) Pele, who is my hero ever since I started playing football seriously
4) Abdul Kalam, for his integrity and austere lifestyle.
5) Sri Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa, whose doctrines I most admire and to express my regret for not living in his era.

I would like to meet the following five great personalities and I have a few questions for them.
1) Cristiano Ronaldo: What makes you so fit and more devastating than any other young footballer despite being 36 years old ?
2) Rabindranath Tagore: How did you write so many things in a single life which is not possible for a human being to finish reading in a lifetime?
3) Sir Issac Newton: Did you dream of physics even when you were asleep? How many more theories would you have given us if your dog Diamond didn’t burn your research papers?
4) Satyajit Ray: How did you make your movie scenes and characters so vivid?
5) Alexander the Great: A king at 19 and dead at 32, how did you conquer more than half the world in this short period?

1)Richard P. Feynman: I would like to request him to make me understand Quantum Mechanics as a joyful, funny subject, rather than heaps of boring mathematical manipulations.
2) Stephen Hawking : I would ask him about his zero gravity experience at Kennedy Space Centre.
3) A.P.J. Abdul Kalam: I would ask him about the dos and don’ts of launching a space shuttle.
4) Professor Shonku: I would like to participate in one of his adventures and help him too.
5) Annie: My shero in George’s adventure series written by Lucy and Stephen Hawking. I would love to embark on a space journey with her.

If I’ve the power to meet five personalities, first on my list would be Bengal Tiger Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. His personality and his love for the nation inspires me a lot. Next on the list would be feminist activists Malala and Emma Watson. I’d also like to meet IAS Srusthi Jayant Deshmukh. Her kind words and great works motivate me all time. I wanna know her thoughts on our education system and women empowerment.
And lastly, I want to meet J.K. Rowling’s fictional character professor Severus Snape. The character is my most favourite fictional character till date.

The five personalities I’d wish to meet and why, are as follows:
1) Edgar Allan Poe: To go for a long walk in the moonlight and ask him to share his real-life experiences of mystery, horror, and macabre.
2) Richard P. Feynman: To sit and listen to basically anything he’d say over lunch at Cal Tech.
3) Rabindranath Tagore: To watch him compose poetry, or paint, or weave lyrics, or hum a newfound tune — all in the setting of Santiniketan.
4) Vincent Van Gogh: To travel with him out in the fields of Auvers-sur-Oise, and watch him bring the landscape to life on canvas.
5) Irrfan Khan: To sit and cry with him, telling him how much he is missed on this planet, and if he could return amongst us, just for once to talk about life, the universe and everything in between.
