| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My most memorable childhood experience was spending weekends with my grandmother, whose stories and warmth made every visit special. Sundays were all about playing cricket with friends, filled with laughter, friendly competition, and scraped knees. Those moments shaped my love for family and simple joys that still stay with me today. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | The immediate family member I closely identify with is my mom. Ever since I was a child, everyone in my family and among our relatives would always say that I looked just like her. At first, I didn’t think much of it, maybe just a casual resemblance. But as I grew older, I started to realize that the connection between us was deeper than just appearance. It’s hard to explain, but there’s always been a quiet understanding between me and my mom. Maybe it’s the way we both observe more than we speak, or how we tend to care for others in small, unnoticed ways. Growing up watching her, I admired how she handled everything, from family responsibilities to tough situations, with such calmness and strength. Without even trying, I found myself following her example, learning from her actions more than her words. Looking like her became more than just physical similarity; it started to feel like I was carrying a piece of her with me wherever I went. That thought has always stayed with me, especially during moments when I’ve had to make difficult choices or show resilience. She’s been my role model not because she demanded it, but because she lived it. Identifying with her has helped me understand myself better, and it's something I’ll always be grateful for. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | One of the character traits I deeply admire in an individual is patience. In a world where everything moves fast and people expect instant results, it’s rare and refreshing to find someone who stays calm and composed, no matter how long things take. Patience shows a kind of quiet strength, the ability to wait, to trust the process, and to remain steady even when things aren’t going according to plan. I’ve seen how powerful this trait can be, especially during difficult times, and it’s something I genuinely respect and strive to develop in myself. Alongside patience, I also admire the ability to not panic in stressful situations. Life throws unexpected challenges at us all the time, and while it's easy to get overwhelmed, I’m always impressed by people who can take a step back, breathe, and respond with a clear mind. It’s not about ignoring the problem. It’s about staying grounded and finding a solution without letting emotions take over. That kind of mindset not only helps the individual but also brings a sense of calm to everyone around them. These two traits, patience and staying calm under pressure, go hand in hand. Together, they create a person who is dependable, thoughtful, and strong. I admire those who possess these qualities because they inspire others to be better and face life with a steady heart and a clear head. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | I was in a rush to a cricket match one day, I grabbed a pair of new socks. When I wore them, I didn't realize the socks were different colors. After the match I sat down and removed my shoes, and someone from my team and told me that I was wearing different colored socks. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | If time and money were not an issue, I would travel to space because it has always been a fascinating mystery to me. The vastness, silence, and unknown possibilities beyond our planet spark a sense of wonder that nothing else can match. Exploring space would be the ultimate adventure, something beyond imagination and truly once in a lifetime. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | There are a few important values I would want to pass on to them, things that I believe truly make a difference in how we live and grow. The first is patience. Life doesn’t always move at the pace we expect, and things don’t always happen when we want them to. But I’ve learned that patience can carry you through the toughest times. It teaches you to trust the process, to wait without losing hope, and to appreciate things when they finally arrive. Another quality I’d want to instill in them is the ability to stay calm and not panic in difficult situations. Life can be unpredictable and stressful, and while we can’t always control what happens, we can control how we react. I’d want them to know that staying calm doesn’t mean being emotionless, it means staying focused, grounded, and able to think clearly when it matters most. Finally, I would always encourage them to take risks. Not reckless ones, but the kind that push them out of their comfort zone and help them grow. I believe that playing it safe all the time might keep you comfortable, but it rarely leads to anything extraordinary. I want them to chase their dreams, even if they’re scared, and to understand that failure is just part of the journey. If I can pass these lessons (patience, calm under pressure, and the courage to take risks) I’d feel like I’ve given them something that will stay with them for life. |
