Who are your favorite people to be around?
Parents and siblings are those I can never do without. I love having them around and spending 90% of my life with them. Then come my friends, who are strangely weird in their own way. I am grateful that they are always with me. Additionally, I love having kids around—not my own, but those in my neighborhood or school. I enjoy spending time with them and embracing life together.
I have been contemplating how people are blessed in different ways. I used to complain a lot about my life, feeling that I am not a lucky person and that I constantly stumble upon obstacles that set me back to square one. However, I have come to realize that I am blessed beyond compare, especially when I see how those around me can enjoy life with the minimum they have. This realization has been an eye-opener for me.
One of the best gifts I’ve ever received is none other than my culture and traditions inherited from my forefathers. I can’t be prouder of it, as they hold significant importance and are unique in their own right. I am grateful for the preservation of these traditions, passed down from generation to generation, even without formal documents or books, but through oral folk songs and tales. They have been instilled in the lives of the younger generations.
This is something that cannot be replaced, and its value is beyond compare.
To be frank, budgeting is something I have never been able to get right so far. Despite my continuous efforts to establish a specific budget for my monthly expenses, I find myself consistently falling short of the vision I have set for myself. Many times, I end up overspending, and this is not solely due to my personal expenses but also because of family-related expenditures. No matter how hard I try, I have never managed to gain control over this aspect.
Currently, my approach to budgeting is flexible, as I tend to utilize the available funds without prior budgeting. I am actively seeking ways to instill a proper budgeting habit so that I can achieve better financial management.
Being patriotic is genuinely a very challenging personality trait one can ever have. It demands loyalty, devotion, love, and a strong sense of commitment. Personally, I don’t consider myself a particularly patriotic person. I see myself as a common netizen who hopes for the best in all aspects. I don’t appreciate inciting hate or enmity on any grounds. I am a firm believer in the principle of “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
I pray and hope that people, irrespective of their background, come to an understanding of love and refrain from trying to outsmart or overpower each other based on factors like identity, religion, caste, gender, or anything that promotes division.
