Holidays

Q.1. Where did you go for your last holiday? 

I went to Goa for my last holiday. It was in Feb 2020 and was a very memorable holiday. My cousin had invited us to his destination wedding in Goa. We stayed back for four days after the wedding. I enjoyed the beaches, water sport activities, cruises, and casinos. We also visited old Goa and the beautiful churches that display the Portuguese architecture. 

Q.2. Do you like holidays? Why?

I like holidays as they provide me the opportunity to relax and get a break from my demanding job. I also get to spend more time with my family and friends. I feel refreshed and I am much more productive when I get back from the holidays.  

Q.3. Which public holiday do you like the best? 

My favorite public holiday is Diwali – the festival of lights. I love lighting our house, eating delicious sweets, meeting my friends and relatives, etc. The atmosphere is so lively, and people are happy all around. The view is beautiful as all houses and shops are decked up with beautiful lights.  

Q.4. What do you do on holidays? 

I usually like to travel on holidays. I love exploring new places, trying different foods, and learning about different traditions and cultures.  

Barbecue

Q.1. Do Indian people like barbecue 

Yes, Indian people like barbeque. Traditionally in India, Barbeque is cooked in a Tandoor which is a cylindrical clay oven heated with charcoal or wood. This gives the food a smoky flavor. Mostly restaurants have big tandoors and at home, people use a small tandoor or grill. It is very popular in North India.

Q.2. What kind of food do you like to eat for barbeque? 

Tandoori chicken is my most favorite barbeque food. Chicken is marinated in yogurt and Indian spices and then cooked on skewers in the tandoor. I also like Naan which is like a grilled flatbread that is made by sticking the dough directly on the walls of the hot clay oven.  

Q.3. Would you like to have barbeque with your family or your friends? 

I would like to have barbeque with both family and friends. I am very close with my family and most of my friends know my parents and siblings.  

Q.4. Did you have barbeque when you were a child?

When I was a child, we didn’t cook barbeque at home as we did not have a tandoor or a grill. However, I remember eating it at restaurants and getting takeout from nearby food vendors.  

Relax

Q.1. What do you do to relax? 

I like to do gardening to relax. Gardening brings me closer to nature and helps me forget about the daily stresses of life. Tending to the plants, watering them, and watching them grow gives me joy. Even sitting outside in a garden after a hectic day brings me calm. 

Q.2. Do you think vacation is a good time for you to relax? 

Yes, vacation is a good time to relax. Taking a vacation is a good way to unplug from work and other day-to-day activities. It is also a great time to spend with family and helps strengthen family bonds.  It recharges our batteries and leaves us feeling refreshed.

Q.3. Do you think doing sports is a good way to relax? 

Yes, doing sports is a good way to relax. The physical action involved in sports is not only beneficial for our physical health but also our mental and phycological well-being. When we play sports, our bodies produce endorphins that make us feel good. Also, playing sports helps us sleep better and gives us a chance to socialize with other players. 

Q.4. Do you think students need more relaxing time? 

Yes, students need more relaxing time. Students have a very packed schedule and stress is inevitable. More relaxing time in between classes or after school is essential for their mental health and well-being. it also makes them more productive and improves their focus. 

Wallet

Q.1. Do you use a wallet? 

Yes, I use a wallet every day to carry my credit cards, cash, and any important receipts or documents. Carrying loose cash and cards in the pocket or directly in a bag is not safe. A wallet also helps protect our valuables from getting wet in case it rains. 

Q.2. Have you ever sent a wallet to someone as a gift? 

Yes, I gifted my father a wallet on his 40th birthday. I have seen using the same wallet for years. It was very old, and the stitching was coming apart. I knew he would never buy it for himself unless it was completely unusable. He was very happy when he saw my gift and still uses that wallet.

Q.3. Have you ever lost a wallet? 

Yes, one time I lost my wallet on the bus. I was going to college and paid for my bus ticket. When I got off the bus, I realized I didn’t have my wallet. I tried to chase after the bus but was not able to catch up.

Q.4. Do most of your friends use a wallet?

Yes, most of my friends use a wallet. 

Environmental Protection

Q.1. Would you like to work in a company related to environmental protection? 

Yes, I would certainly like to work for an eco-friendly company that has adopted sustainable practices and gone green. Our planet is facing a lot of environmental problems like climate change, global warming, air pollution, water pollution, waste disposal, etc. Natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, and cyclones have so become common in the past few decades. All companies and individuals must actively take steps to protect our environment. 

Q.2. Do you think you have done enough to protect the environment? 

I don’t think I have done enough. There is so much more that I can do. I have started small changes at home like recycling, reducing food waste, composting, and not using plastics. One thing I need to do is to start car-pooling with colleagues instead of driving my car to work. I would also like to get solar panels for my house and energy-efficient appliances.

Q.3. How can we protect the environment? 

There are many ways we can help the help environment and reduce our carbon footprint.  

  • Use reusable cloth bags instead of single-use plastics. 
  • Recycle and compost. 
  • Unplug household appliances when you are not using them. 
  • Plant trees. 
  • Take local transportation instead of driving cars. 
  • Bike to work/college if possible. 
  • Use eco-friendly products. 
  • Conserve Water

Q.4. Is there education about environmental protection at school? 

Yes, environmental education is part of formal education in Indian schools (it was made compulsory through a supreme court judgment in 2003). Children are the future, and they must be taught about environmental issues at a young age so that they grow up to lead an eco-friendly life.
