I am in my final year of my graduate degree in commerce.
I have always been inclined towards the business side of the world and want to establish my own business in the future. Hence, I decided to study commerce and I plan to pursue higher education in the same field.
I find my subject quite exciting. I get to learn a lot about the functioning of the real world and that helps me apply my theoretical knowledge to my regular surroundings everyday.
I hope to become an entrepreneur and be in the food industry. So maybe starting my own chain of Indian restaurants globally is my dream.
Yes, I have many friends from my school as well as my college.
My friends are quite important in my life because apart from my family, they are the only people who understand me and are always there for me.
I prefer spending time in a group instead of individually because I feel it is more fun that way and it also helps bond with a larger group at once.
I like to have friends who are trustworthy and not judgemental. Those are the values I would want to be surrounded by.
Yes. I am an extrovert so I enjoy meeting and interacting with people all the time. It helps me broaden my perspectives, and I think that is crucial for everyone.
I meet my college friends everyday but when it comes to my school friends or childhood friends from my neighbourhood, I hardly meet them once a month since everyone is in different locations now, pursuing their higher education.
We usually give each other updates from our lives while we eat some local street food. With some friends, I often play football at a ground near my residence.
I meet them at cafes or local food joints. It depends on what the majority of the people from the group feel like doing that particular day.
I honestly don’t have a preference because it is better meeting certain people personally but some interactions are better virtually.
Most of them are from school, but now I also have many friends from college.
I met my best friend in my neighbourhood when I was seven years old. He lived right opposite my apartment and we have known each other since then.
A great friend is the one who doesn’t fear confrontation because to make sure friendships last, it is important to keep resolving the smallest of issues as and when they arise.
I hope to have kind and intelligent friends from different fields of work. It would help me have good emotional and mental bonds around me.
One of my friends, Naman, has always been a proactive person. He takes action whenever he feels there is a need to alter the way things are going in his life. Recently, while I was eating at a local food joint with him, he mentioned that the food vendor comes to the market at 6 am daily. I thought he was probably just taking a wild guess and didn’t believe him but to my surprise, he was not lying. He knew this because he has completely changed his entire routine. When I probed him further I got to know that he has started waking up early in the morning and going for a run, freshening up, cooking his lunch for college, and then leaving home early to get to his college earlier than usual. I have to admit that I was in awe of him at that moment because I have always thought of improving my routine as well but I have been quite lethargic. I realized that his improved mood lately and vigour was all thanks to his changed routine now. I want that same level of energy as well. Hence I have asked him to wake me up as well so I can develop a better lifestyle.
Children should have basic hygiene habits and table manners. It is crucial for children to know that regularly washing their hands and keeping their fingernails clean and trimmed is important. Similarly, eating properly without making a mess at the dining table is also essential mannerism that should be taught at an early age.
Parents should make sure to lead by example. They should verbally tell their children what to do and also show them how those things are to be done in their daily life by doing it themselves regularly. For instance, washing their hands before eating and after eating a meal.
Children get influenced by their peers quite easily since they spend a lot of time with them and usually learn things through mimicking actions of others. So being surrounded by kids with bad habits can influence them to pick up misbehaviors or even lead them to become disrespectful or resistant towards their elders.
I think this can happen because of two reasons. Mainly because people mature and realize that certain habits are not healthy and should not be continued. Another reason could be that the habits from childhood just don’t make sense anymore to adults. Like, as kids, there is a frequent habit of being around friends and sharing things with them without much hesitation but adults lead more private lives and are more cautious, rightfully so.
