One of my heroes growing up was Darren Gough, he always made things happen and I wanted to be like him.

I have always enjoyed male company, which has probably stemmed from playing in boys/men's teams while growing up.

It's no secret that women's cricket needs India performing on the global stage, and any male support is welcome - with key voices like Sachin Tendulkar stating that women's cricket is critical to the future of our game, hopefully people will listen.

I am following the IPL. I think it would be great for the women's game, creating more competition and showcasing the world's best players from different countries. It would also be a stepping-stone to women's cricket becoming professional.

All human beings are inherently good, so when someone goes off the rails, there must be some mitigating factor - he was bullied, was a loner, had an abusive father, or a domineering mother, etc.

For me, the Earth had always been a kind of a safe haven, you know, where I could go to work or be in my home or take my kids to school. But I realized it really wasn't that. It really is its own spaceship. And I had always been a space traveler.

Everything I've been through, everything I'm about to go through in my career and my life, if my family wasn't with me and didn't support me, it would be really tough.

When I first learned I was pregnant with my son, I had only two firm convictions about parenting: I knew it was important, and I knew that I wanted to get it right. I was 29 at the time.
