What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?
Saving money. This ain’t a joke when I say this. It’s really hard to be able to save some amount when your outgoing (not expenses) is more than the income.

What advice would you give to your teenage self?
Dear myself
I write to you with utmost ardor, expressing my joy that you handled the experiences well. It’s also absolutely fine to score ZERO in Math and receive punishment for the same. It’s okay to admit your failure, take up the courage to face challenges, and tackle more difficult papers. They’re not truly challenging if you analyze them properly. So, don’t limit yourself to your comfort zone but go beyond limits, as the sky is the limit.
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.
