The number one item on your wish list?
Harry Potter's broomstick, so that I can get to different locations in minutes with a single command: up... UP! 
What good deed are you planning for today?
Ramadan is a month of giving and I hope that I will be able to feed as many people in the camps as possible in the next 30 days. These guys work in crazy temperatures and the least we can do is get them one square meal. 
Your biggest life lesson to date.
Patience is something that you collect in small amounts - and you need lots of it when you have two boys! 
Your fitness mantra.
Stay away from your working desk as much as you can and keep on your feet. The chairs nowadays are made in such a way that you can spend months sitting on them - and it will show (soon enough) on your belly. 
The first thing you thought about when you woke up this morning.
When will I become a 'Mashreq Millionaire'? 
The app on your Smartphone you click on most often.
Google Maps (Dubai!). 
Your greatest fear.
My kids rejecting my friend request on Facebook! 
A way in which you are trying to change your life.
Ensure that each day the dishwasher is emptied out and the towels go back into the bathroom - folded - after they dry out. and that we never run out of milk and bread! 
Favourite movie character of all time - and why.
Jerry from Tom and Jerry - because he always &gets away with the loot at the end. Size does not matter, people! 
If you could have your pick of superpowers, what would you choose?
The Transformers' powers. Can you imagine all that 'coolness' - &car-machinery-steel - rolled up in one?
