Your Questions Answered #2
Thank you to everyone who participated and left questions- I had so much fun answering all of them and I hope you guys enjoy my answers!
Mimie Mailumo:
I am currently majoring in History and I am twenty three years old!
Poet Of The Light:
Ooh this is a tough one! With the whole pandemic going on I haven’t been able to go home in a while so I would be at home in Kenya with my parents just eating some pizza and hanging out.
Winterosca:
My parents have always been very interested in History and talked to me about it when I was younger so I think that’s where it began. And I’ve always had a very vivid imagination so I have always loved reading about history/historical events and imagining it.
Blessing Pius:
Good question but to be honest I am not too sure yet. I think it depends on what kind of job offers I get here versus back home.
Obscurejive:
Benjamin Lay, Coretta Scott King and Mark Twain. They are all very amazing people who although are from different periods of time would probably get along well. They’re all vegan or vegetarian so it would be so much easier to cook for them- I would probably make soup as a starter, loaded potatoes as a main dish and some vegan pie as dessert.
Matt Kohrell:
Yes absolutely!
Riddhi B:
Yes, my mum is from Gujarat!
Ninin:
This is such a great question because it’s a problem I have dealt with personally a lot. Generally people tend to either love or hate someone especially famous people/historical figures but as a history major I realise that there is always good and bad in people. Even people who we sometimes see as heroes or perfect are obviously not because at the end of the day we are all just human and humans have flaws. The best way to deal with this situation is to calmly share the facts about them that point towards them not being such a great person. Don’t make the other person feel attacked but rather just try to show them that there are always grey areas.
Ashish:
That’s a good question! The truth is I don’t like the name lifesfinewhine very much. The name was kind of random and it fit when I first started the blog but I have evolved so much since then that I don’t know if it fits anymore. Plus, I planned on posting about different things on my IG compared to what I post on here. I wanted to post about food and travel which is why I decided to go with herbivoreonajourney.
Zainab:
Lol I’m nosy too so I totally understand! Yes, I do make money on my blog. And if I had to pick one thing to eat for the rest of my life it would be an Indian dish called Khichdi– it is my absolute favourite food in the world.
Nitesh:
My family and friends- they inspire me every day to be the greatest version of myself.
Billy Mann:
- The food- as a food you know that’s the first thing I’m going to mention. Kenya has the best food in the world. I have travelled to many places and no food has every come close to Kenyan food.
- The wildlife- there is so much to see in Kenya. The wildlife and nature is truly breathtaking.
- The culture- Kenyan culture is so interesting, unique and beautiful. If nothing else come to learn about the culture.
I have like a million more reasons because Kenya is amazing but I will stop at three for now lol.
Ema:
Omg that’s such a difficult question. I guess a rewind button so I can keep doing stupid things but also there would be no consequences.
Apetitegirlsguideto2964:
I’m good and hope you are too! I plan to work and many try blogging full-time. Not too sure yet to be honest.
Opher:
The only way I think we can save it is if we all work together to reduce our carbon footprint and make an effort to undo the damage that has already been done.
Manoj Mehra:
I love fall so I’ll say fall. Or 4/20 because that’s my birthday lol- every year I get a new grey hair!
Shahrin:
I actually have multiple posts with assumptions and my answers to them that you can check out here. In general one assumption I get all the time is that I’m Indian/from India. Diaspora communities exist you guys lol!
Sakshi:
I just looked though my stats and currently my most popular post is my share and promote post and the next one is a post called cute kittens with images of kittens- I think it’s pretty self explanatory why that one is so popular. I think people like sharing their blog and discovering new ones to check out which is why my share and promote post is so popular.
Eugenia:
Thank you! It’s definitely fall because it’s not too hot or cold and everything is pumpkin flavoured!
Blackandwhite1987:
Thank you! Yes, I would like to visit Trier and Berlin in particular but I would love to travel all around too.
Chery Loregelia:
No, because to be honest I am the absolute worst… Not in general just in relationships.
Wendy:
Hey! I definitely prefer to be left alone. I get super irritated when people talk to me when I am in a bad mood/having a bad day and I prefer to process my feelings on my own.
Aashna Drishti:
I will be working for sure but that’s as far as I have thought for now. As for career it will definitely have something to do with history but I’m not too sure what.
Lucia M:
It’s super fun not knowing anyone because you get to reinvent yourself and also have lots of amazing experiences. The downside is that you miss your friends and family.
Shelly DS:
Yes, very!
The Dragon’s Picnic:
There are so many people it’s hard to pick just one. I guess if I absolutely had to pick just one person it would be Rosa Parks because she is one of my idols in life and being able to talk to her would be such an honour.
Luna:
There are so many thing I wish I could change. I guess I would stop Serb Gavrilo Princip which would stop WWI which I’m hoping would stop WWII from happening. I really wish I could save the lives of everyone who died in those two wars and during the Holocaust.
Shubhangi:
I absolutely love conspiracy theories although I generally don’t believe in most of them because at the end of the day they are just theories. I do like to think aliens built the pyramids because that would be awesome although I am fully aware that is not the case.
Anand Kumar:
Wow you guys are super curious about what my plans are after uni! Like I’ve said above I’m not too sure about those plans- I’ll probably start working or apply for Masters depending on how I feel at the time. My About Me has not changed much except now that I’ve seen like every show/movie ever my list of shows/movies I like is a lot longer. My favourite posts to write and read about are about mental health because I love sharing my story and reading other peoples. The more we share our stories the less stigma there will be. Relationship status is now “so single I have been referring to my teddy bear as my main hoe.”
Amorina Rose:
I’m a history major- I’m currently in my fourth year. At the moment I’m a full time student so I’m not working but I will start as soon as I am done with my degree.
Dumbestblogger:
Not yet but I plan on living on a farm someday so maybe someday!
Anjali:
I plan to keep blogging as long as I enjoy doing it!
Joel Abakah:
I’m just a girl standing in front of a boy… lol kidding! I think I am someone who wants the best for other people and the world. I am not a perfect person. I have many flaws but I try to be the best version of myself.
Introvert Next Door:
Yes, I always have and I still do. I try to interact to an extent and not force myself to if I don’t want to. What I often do is interact for about fifteen minutes or thirty minutes by replying to comments or liking/commenting on other blogs and then I take a break and do something else like school work or housework. Most people with anxiety will understand what I mean when I say this helps to recharge my socialising battery and make sure it never reaches a point where it’s empty.
Henry Chamberlain:
I REALLY hope it goes away but realistically I don’t know if it will. It may still take a while.
Inkedbyphlegmatic:
Yes, I would! I learnt to do art on art apps- check out my artwork by clicking here. I started learning German again and I have done a lesson every day for over one hundred days now. I learnt how to use Microsoft Teams too because of online classes- it’s not the best but it’s better than nothing.
Jude:
Travelling. I don’t have any plans to settle down for at least the next five to ten years so I would definitely choose travelling.
Sasmita Patnaik:
Being active and staying genuine! For detailed blogging advice click here.
The Newbury Girl:
Han Solo! I actually dressed up as him once but I don’t have the picture. I love him because he’s a rebel, talented, kind and hilarious.
Belladonna:
The annoying construction sounds in my apartment building.
Tiani:
Yes I love it!! I used to watch it all the time as a kid!
Favourite-Flavour:
As Frank Reynolds beautifully put it “I’m gonna get real weird with it.” So yes, the blog would change, a lot… As a Sunny fan I absolutely had to add this clip!
I try to help people who email me or reach out to me but I don’t usually point stuff out on their site if I notice something because I feel like it’s not my place to do that. Unless their site isn’t working at all or some of their features aren’t working then I’ll let them know.
Trix:
All of Africa, Europe, East Asia and Bhutan- not sure if it’s considered part of East Asia.

Awesome Q and A there!
PoojaG
Thank you!!
Lisa M. Boyd
Wow, History. I commend you! You must an intellectual thinker, great answers. I can’t believe you birthday is 4/20. I found some irony in that only because here there is Marijuana is legal, and we have a store on every corner. People use the saying it’s “420” somewhere. I don’t smoke it, sober is sober in my book. I just had to share the irony. Your young how do you have gray hair?
PoojaG
Thank you! Yeah 4/20 is actually National Weed Day so it’s an interesting day to have as a birthday haha. It’s my genes unfortunately- my sister got grey hairs pretty early too.
Lisa M. Boyd
See I’m too old to know it seems like everything under the sun has a National Day now. National Boyfriend day, grandkids, and so on…I like to make them up and take pics. Out running errands with my husband and post saying National Running errands day. It always something! Yeah my mom grayed very early, but she has naturally very dark hair. All the girls who had the lighter hair didn’t start until their 30’s. So I felt fortunate. Then again it’s just hair. Have a great night! Gonna be trying some those story prompts here soon. Another WP really encouraged me to, even if I can’t ping back. I so want to! 😊 🤙
PoojaG
Haha yeah everything seems to have a national day these days lol! Here’s a link for how to easily create pingbacks that I just found a couple of days ago https://thesoulsearchersite.wordpress.com/2020/09/26/create-pingbacks/
Hope that helps and have a great night too!
Lisa M. Boyd
Rad! Thank you so much! I will take a gander at it! Wohoo! National ping back day! Yay! 😊🎉🎊
Lisa M. Boyd
Wish I could edit comments *you’re* and as well I added a word that should not be in there. Golly 😊
PoojaG
That’s okay I’m the queen of typos so I totally understand haha!
dumbestblogger
If you ever get that dinner with Benjamin Lay, Corretta Scott King and Mark Twain I’d love to crash it. Looking forward to hearing about your cow tipping exploits!
PoojaG
If that dinner ever happens you are definitely invited. Will keep you updated on the cows!
Karac Avalron
You get super retarded when people talk to you when you’re in a bad mood. LOL you sound like me a grumpy old man ha ha Ha. Great post great idea for content to the Q&A I like it. Take care
PoojaG
I always knew I was a grumpy old man on the inside! Thank you!
Karac Avalron
It’s not supposed to say retarded it’s supposed to say irritated. Stupid microphone translation software. Sorry about that kid LOL
PoojaG
Lol no worries!
obscurejive

Ayyy….Khichdi is just so so good!
PoojaG
It is!!
ianscyberspace
Enjoyed the comments. Are you sure you want to describe your birthday as 4/20? Char so bis would raise eyebrows in Bharat. LOL Maybe it would be better to say April 20 if you understand the connotation of 420. 🙂
PoojaG
Lol I specifically wanted to say 4/20 just for that double entendre 😜😂
Sheree
Wow, great post!

Thank you!
crucialnotes
Great Q/A session 👏
PoojaG
Thank you!
Wendy
This was so fun to read. I loved history while growing up too. I always took extra care with knowing dates of things that happened and the curious part of me loves knowing the background of things.
PoojaG
Thank you so much! I always find remembering dates super fun too.
Beaton
I love how this is so candid and have learnt a lot about you…
I want to do a post like this but am not brave enough hahaha unless I rigged the questions or whta if no one had any questions for me
~B
PS when do you migrate your site I am very curious about the experience for someone who has spent a long time here and have been following the articles on your journey through the various plans and the whole limiting from WP I didn’t know they did that but then I guess your blog has such serious traffic they think you are a bot hahahaha
we live vicariously through you
PoojaG
Thank you!
I will definitely be writing about the entire process. It may even help others who want to self-host!
Introverted Thoughts
Amazing post! Loved learning more about you! I love History and historical fiction is one of my most favourite genres to read but it was just too tiring at school😂
Take care!
PoojaG
Thank you so much and yes history can be a lot of work lol!
Kami
It’s really nice how you took out the time to answer all these questions. And it’s even more wonderful that you did something like this to connect with your audience. Keep up the wonderful work 👏🏽👏🏽
PoojaG
Thank you so much- I always enjoy connecting with my audience!

dpranita583
I think your more fans are Indians. Do you have any plan to visit India?
PoojaG
Yes definitely someday.
dpranita583

Thank you!
justcalmwildness
I really enjoyed reading this. I learnt so many new about you. I hope you come back to Kenya.
PoojaG
Thank you and I hope I can come back soon too!
ceponatia
I’m sorry that you haven’t been able to go home in a while. Hopefully you have some close friends in Canada keeping you company!
PoojaG
Thanks and luckily I do!
haoyando
You are amazing. I think I am absolutely the worst in relationship too. Coming from an unhappy family, I am often too eager to communicate to frighten people away. Being a a little nerdy, I’m sometimes too absorbed to pay attention to others and other people are offended. But I keep trying though I continue to fail. Let’s be hopeful always.
PoojaG
Thank you. Yes, it’s definitely hard to when you have been through some things in the past. Personally I am the opposite- I tend to push people away but it is something I am working on. Yes, I think we need to remain hopeful because one day we will find the right person for us.
The Newbury Girl
I lol’d that the mention of the cute kittens post… probably because I’m imagining cute kittens now LOL!
Uni & post uni plans are so exciting to think about! I went back to get my Masters, but sometimes I wish I did it straight after undergrad!
And yess Han is an amazing character!! I love him and Lando!! lol
PoojaG
Lol! Cute kittens are the best!
Yeah I think if I want to do my Masters I will probably do it straight after my degree. Or maybe after a gap year.
Yes Han and Lando are amazing!
Joel Abakah
Okay wait… two of your answers had me laughing hard.
1. Your teddy bear is your personal hoe?😅😅😅 interesting
2. The annoying construction sounds keep you up at night😅😂 not nightmares I see.
Thanks for answering my question though… you’re just a girl standing in front of a boy… lol😅😊
It’s nice to want the best for everyone. It shows a kind heart and spirit💚
PoojaG
Lol no I’ve just been calling it my main hoe! The construction sounds are literally driving me crazy 😣
Thank you 😊
Joel Abakah
It’s a nice nickie though. Love it!
You just have to cope with the construction noise I guess😊💚
tianiangelahibbert
These types of posts are so fun! Thanks for answering my random question lol. I used to watch the Parent Trap all the time! I’d love to watch it again.
The cow tipping question made me laugh out loud and I’d like to go to space too If I ever got the chance ☺️
PoojaG
Thank you- they’re super fun for me too! That movie is so good and lol that was the funniest question!

PoojaG
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it lol!
oviate
Awww, you’re just a baby.. lol
I looked up a rough estimation of your chart, I can see why convos are fun.
Same “soul family”..
I love conspiracy theories as long as they’re not taken seriously; I despise QAnon.
You could always work as a blogger for some large online magazine like the smithsonian or National Geographic.. (just generic names off the top of my head).
A person should know their historic heroes are flawed and should be held at the same standard you’d hold yourself.
If a historic person isn’t perfect, yet, their interpretation of that person IS perfect it’s less harmful other than it being internalized as a standard a person can’t live up to.
And, yes.. if someone says they have a historic hero and the response is that so and so is dumb and immoral for having said hero the other person will double down UP TO feeling said flaws were justified.
That’s the United States right now.
PoojaG
How dare you I’m a toddler okay 😂
Woohoo same soul family!
Yeah conspiracy theories are super fun to read about because they’re quite interesting but the majority of them are very far fetched and hard to believe. Wow if I could work for online magazines that would be amazing.
You definitely see that a lot in the US because I feel like a lot of people are on extremes about stuff and they have an attitude where they think just because they are right everyone is wrong. I mean not everyone is like that obviously but some can be when it comes to history and politics especially. I think all historical figures are flawed in some way- that doesn’t make their achievements any less amazing- it just makes them more human.
jesusluvsall
That was fun. I would go into space too 🙂
PoojaG
Thanks and hopefully there is some space chocolate up there!
jesusluvsall
Yes
Blessing Pius

PoojaG
