I read through all of your replies and just thought 'she sounds so perfect', then I read this and oh man why are you bound to be nowhere near me. :(
I suppose I should at least ask you a question then, are you taken? do you ever get angry?

Do you not feel that your aims in this AMA are impossible though? My academic background is in theology and the abrahamic faiths, but I lost interest because I could never find anyone who didn't have ulterior motives in some way. It was very frustrating knowing that whatever I said would have no bearing on whoever I talked with, because they just weren't willing to see through my perspective.
I always felt quite restrained in actually expressing myself academically in my work for fear that whoever marking it would be influenced negatively in marking my work by the nature of the work itself. Did/do you feel that you can take a truly critical approach in your work without the fear of being marked down for your ideas which might go against the marker's own views?

I can't quite work out how long you've been on this trip, from what I can see roughly 6 months is the best I can work out, is that right? $25k over 6 months 'aint so bad, about £15k. Curious why you shipped from kolkata to kuala lumpur though?

I suspect the latter partially due to: http://www.c-span.org/Events/President-Obama-to-Campaign-in-Virginia/10737433523-3/
I've held a similar 'live chat' with the UK equivalents, and they all had people typing for them. Not word for word, but they would actually input on some things.
