Talent. Pretty much everyone I work with is passionate about their work and is smart in their own way. I got to learn a lot from everyone and it helped me grow professionally.

Muhammad Ali. He has been a huge inspiration for me in so many different ways. His trash talks were hilarious. He stood up to his beliefs even when it meant he would lose prime years of his career.

Time travel. It would be fun to meet my parents when they were young and also know how things would look 500 or 1000 years into the future.

Chicken Biryani. I would use my time travel powers to find out who invented the chicken biryani recipe. The world deserves to know the name of its greatest hero.
