      I guess one of the most dangerous things I have done is mixed ice and rock climbing in the Alps because there is always a risk of a big fall!

      In the lab, I was handling different sources of radiation. Too much of these can kill you! Probably the most dangerous thing I’ve handled in the lab. Though dealing with ovens which are hot enough to melt metal was definitely scary and dangerous too!

      Toasting some ryvita – I set fire to the toaster and almost the whole kitchen!

      The most dangerous thing I’ve ever done was probably driving on the streets of Mumbai. I say this as a joke and also with a degree of being serious.

      The most dangerous thing most people do every day is to drive a car. The streets in India are insane with cars, people, cows, and bikes. So, if you put them together, you probably get my most dangerous activity!
