  • Who according to me is a unique person?

    Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?

    There are indeed numerous aspects that render a person unique. However, for me, authenticity lies in fully embracing oneself, transcending comfort zones, and wholeheartedly accepting both flaws and blessings. In essence, we often label individuals as ‘multi-talented,’ but it’s not merely about having multiple talents; it’s about venturing beyond comfort zones and refusing to confine oneself to a single corner. Such individuals are genuinely unique and exceedingly rare to encounter.

  • Can Food have my name?

    If you could have something named after you, what would it be?

    If there were something named after me, it would likely be related to food. I have a penchant for eating, particularly when it comes to savory options like green leafy vegetables or uniquely prepared local foods. So it’d probably be related to organic food that are grown and harvested locally.

  • Drifted in indecision

    When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

    During those years, my aspirations were shrouded in a veil of uncertainty. Rather than harboring a concrete career goal, my fascination lay in the attire itself, the uniformity that symbolized purpose and belonging. I found myself enamored with the dignified presence of those clad in uniforms, be they men or women. Yet, amidst the clamor of societal expectations, I found myself echoing the sentiments of the crowd, without a firm grasp on my own desires. In essence, I drifted in indecision, yearning for clarity amidst the tumult of conformity.

  • Navigating the balance

    How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?

    Navigating the balance between assertiveness and empathy can be challenging, but it’s crucial for personal growth. Despite occasional struggles, I prioritize saying “no” when necessary to avoid regrets later. While my emotional intelligence often surpasses my intellectual quotient, I acknowledge the importance of assertiveness in staying focused on my goals. I’m actively honing my interpersonal skills to ensure that prioritizing my objectives doesn’t compromise my relationships.

  • Neither chilly nor humid weather

    What is your favorite type of weather?

    A serene monsoon evening spent by the fireside, relishing freshly roasted sweet corn or maize with cherished loved ones, is indeed a delightful moment to treasure. However, if I were to choose a favorite season, it would undoubtedly be spring, when vibrant flowers bloom and melodious bird songs fill the air. Moreover, during this time of the year, an array of local products from Mother Nature’s bounty enriches the experience. The weather is pleasantly temperate, neither oppressively humid nor bitterly cold, allowing for the freedom to wear clothing of one’s choice.

  • Gentle and composed

    What was the best compliment you’ve received?

    “You are very gentle and composed, miss,” is a new compliment I’ve been receiving recently. As someone who has struggled with a short temper, I’m constantly reminded to be calm and gentle in my words. I’ve been diligently working on it for quite some time, and I believe that God is answering my prayers, as evidenced by this compliment. It serves as proof that I am indeed becoming more composed than before.

  • Dear future me

    Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.

    Dear Self, congratulations on reaching this point! I am genuinely pleased that you’ve made it this far. As you read this today, recognize the blessings that surround you. You embody greatness as a devoted mother, wife, and grandma. The journey hasn’t been easy, and I acknowledge the strength it took to get here.

    Back in your late 20s, you carried the family with unwavering determination. Branded shirts and Gucci bags were absent, yet you exuded undeniable grace and fabulosity. Your dreams remained steadfast, and your resilience paved the way for your success today. Regardless of the challenges, your ability to smile and persist has transformed you into an exceptional human.

    Hold onto that indomitable spirit—it defines who you are. With much love, Yourself in 2024.

  • Greater than and less than sign in Math

    What is the last thing you learned?

    Not gonna lie, I have always been very confused with the sign of math except from the basic addition, substraction and multiplication sign. So today we were working on one Math problem and I made a mistake of greater and less than sign with the students. Ehhh I know it’s a challenge for me to not know it. I learn it today.

  • What was my favourite drink in the past?

    What is your favorite drink?

    My favorite drink could be a mango shake. I am not as fond of drinks as I used to be in the past, where I was crazy about a soft drink from a cola company. I would consume it instead of water and could go without eating food. However, over the years, I have shifted towards healthier drinks. Coffee is something I seldom drink, and fermented fruit juices are drinks I indulge in once in a blue moon.

  • Who are the Favorite people in the list?

    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.
