Sample Answer:

• Apart from my parents, if there is someone in the family I admire the most, it is none other than my maternal uncle. Since childhood, I used to look up to him as he had a great sense of humor and was very knowledgeable.
• Unlike my mother, who was very tomboyish during her teens, my uncle was very quiet and used to follow my mother around from what I have heard of their stories. Although he was not good in sports, he played the tabla professionally for quite a long time and mastered the mouth organ. He was also meritorious and aided everyone who came to him for help, which he does even now.
• Professionally, he is a senior manager in a popular government organization. In his free time, he studies various plants and trees and has a huge garden where he nourishes as much flora as possible. He is also proficient in suggesting ayurvedic medicines to people who come to him for help.
• Sometimes, I still remember those days when going to my maternal grandfather’s place was like a festival to me. We had the liberty and love to enjoy our golden days. At night, after dinner, we used to sit in the hall and share various funny stories. During this time, he performed various mimicry and I laughed my heart out. He used to play pranks on me and yet, took me to various new places he wanted to explore. For me, he was no less than an encyclopedia with a memory like an elephant. I have never seen him fight with anyone and he always found a solution for any problems he or others around him faced. For me, after my mother, he is the ideal person to motivate you to be a better human being.
