What are the things that you like to do together as a family?

Apart from talking about what is going on in our lives, I think eating and travelling are the two things we love to do together. To an extent it brings the feeling of togetherness among all of us.

Exploring a new place with people who care for you is always nice and warming.

I have grown up in an environment close to the family and have shared my sorrows and happiness with them. To me, family bonding and support is important. My work requires me to travel a lot and there are times when I feel alone but the support of the family is the only thing that keeps me going.

I remember going to our hometown with my family after a long time. It was a nice retreat because I went to the places I have grown up with people I love the most. We went on to visit the near by temples and spending time with our extended family.
