I am a very conscientious person and try to arrive on time everywhere. I acquired this habit from my father, who is a very disciplined and punctual person. He always told me that punctuality reflects dependability to others. Whenever I have some appointments or deadlines I make sure to take extra precautions and aim to arrive at least 10 minutes before the scheduled time. However, there have been some instances where I have still been late even after that extra time buffer. For instance, I recall being late for one of my B.ed exams. It was back in the year 2018 when I was appearing for my B.ed exams. My examination center happen to be in the outskirts of Yamunanagar a district in the state of Haryana. It was around 30 kilometers away from my hometown . So I got ready at the crack of dawn to leave at around 7am in order to reach on time. My dad accompanied me and we reached the station by 7:30. On arrival we came to know that all the trains to Haryana were running late. So, we decided to catch a bus as the bus stop was nearby. Somehow we managed to get into a crowded bus. We had reached halfway when the main problem occurred. There was a massive traffic jam on our way because, the previous night two trucks, filled with wood logs had collided and the roads were all covered with those logs of wood. It was already 10am and we were stressed. People starting getting out of the bus and we too went out. We tried hard to get an auto to reach the examination center but it was of no use. The examination center was still at a distance of 10 kilometers. Time was passing by but we were not able to get any conveyance to reach the center. It was 10:50 and I started to panic, at that very instance, an old man was passing by, on a bike and on seeing us he stopped at once, and offered help. We sat on his bike and somehow managed to reach the center by 11:15. Though I was late for my examination but the center superintendent allowed me to appear for my exam after hearing my side of the story. To cap it all, I would say it was an unforgettable experience for me. And I felt terrible for being late for my examination.

I am a very punctual person. I value time and I try my best to never be late for anything, unless it is due to some unforseen or unavoidable circumstances.

I don’t make lame excuses. Usually I’m never late for any meetings or appointments. However, if at all I’m getting letting late due to some unavoidable reason then I prefer to inform the person I’m meeting beforehand.

I think the basic issue is time management. Moreover, people these days don’t consider being a little late to be wrong.

No, old and young people do not manage their time in the same way. The young generation may be too impulsive or impatient in several issues while the old people have a greater sense of responsibility and they know the importance of time management.

I am very fond of watching movies and web series. And, I admire the actors who bring their roles to life. Here, I would like to talk about an actor who I personally admired the most, Sushant Singh Rajput, who has truly impressed me with his acting skills & moreover his humble nature was to die for. Although, he’s not alive now but I still admire his work. In all the roles he has played, it seems like he has become the actual character, living his role to the fullest. I saw his immaculate work in the movie Kai Po Che where he played a lead role showcasing the struggles of a common man affected by 2001 Gujrat earthquake. Another movie in which he played an outstanding role was PK. He even played a lead in a romantic comedy movie Shudh Desi romance. Dhoni biopic, Raabta and Kedarnath proved to be the biggest hits of Sushant Singh in the bollywood movie industry. He gained much fame and recognition after these movies. Sushant Singh Rajput was a talented and promising Indian actor. He comes from a humble background and has faced many struggles in his journey. Most of his movies have been huge suceccess. His death was a heartbreaking incident to the nation but still he is present in our hearts through his spectacular work. Now, whenever I watch any old movies in which he has even a small role, I watch it till the end because of his captivating performance.

Children adore special costumes because it makes them enter a world of fantasy, and they imagine situations around them. Thus, these special costumes provide them immense joy and happiness.

People often face challenges in their lives. Some of them are handled well on the other hand, some issues are hard to swallow. We often tend to give up in such situations. I was in trouble when me and friends went for a trek to a place near Mussurie. It is called Nag-Tibba, and it is famous for the mesmerizing view of the upper Himalayas you get from there. We were a group of youngsters in our early 20s. We started our trek with fervor and were enjoying our hike.
The view of the sunset was enticing, but we realized we were in trouble as we were far away from our destination and it was about to get dark. This was just the tip of the iceberg, as we also forgot to carry a torch with us. Moving around in darkness was risky, and the only option we had was to camp for the night at the same spot.
We built a fire, fixed our camps, and decided that everyone would rotateally wake up for a few hours to avoid any possible danger from wild animals. Finally, the night was over, and we resumed our expedition.
There was a lot to learn from this difficulty we encountered. First, we should always be well prepared while doing something that is not part of our daily routine and never lose our vision in excitement.
I felt very lucky that nothing unfortunate happened with us, and I revamped my belief in my decision-making.

I think most people avoid stressful situations. Humans love being in their comfort zone and try to stay away from a tight-spot.

When people from my family and friends are in a sticky situation, the first thing I do is to hear them out properly. If it’s something in my area of expertise , I advise them. If it’s something I am unfamiliar with, I seek advice from people who are related to that area.

My hometown is the capital of our state. The primary issue people face here is the traffic problem during rush hours. Secondly, the number of street dogs has increased significantly over the past few years, which has created safety issues. Poorly managed waste systems contribute to the clogging of drains, and strayed animals often consume polythene along with food they find in the garbage.

Pollution is everywhere nowadays. It is extremely difficult to find a place where the air is not polluted. Here I would like to talk about the city I visited a year ago, where I found the air to be extremely polluted. I happen to visit New Delhi last year to attend a friend’s wedding. I boarded my train from Saharanpur to Hazrat Nizamuddin and from there I had to reach Rajiv Chowk by metro.
As I stepped out of the train I felt a burning sensation in my eyes and I was finding it hard to breathe. Thereafter, I even started to cough.
I drank some water & washed my face at the station itself. While I was walking towards the metro station, I realized that the air here is extremely polluted. Whereas, the locals had absolutely no problem bcoz they have become prone to breathing the same polluted air. Upon arrival at my friend’s house I washed my face with cold water and felt some relief. There my friends informed me that Delhi is one of the most polluted cities in India, due to unplanned development. During winters a thick blanket of smog covers Delhi due to stubble burning. Air pollution has serious impacts on human health such as asthama, bronchitis and other respiratory diseases. I feel blessed that I don’t reside in Delhi but at the same time feel pity for the ones who live there. Government as well the local communities should come together to take some serious measures to prevent air pollution in the capital city of India.

Absolutely, there is more air pollution these days than in the past. With the advancement of new industries there is a massive rise in the level of pollution. As, strict rules have not been imposed for effluent treatment.

Several steps can be taken to reduce the level of air pollution. It is not the responsibility of only the government, but also of commoners to follow the rules imposed by the government. In my opinion, strict rules should be laid down for effluent treatment as well as on disposing of industrial waste.

Yes, several companies have been forced to reduce pollutants. However, unfortunately these industries find ways of escaping from penalties and fines.

Yes, I think the wind plays a vital role in dispersing the pollutants. For example, cities surrounded with sea helps in effective entry and exit for dispersing pollutants whereas, pollution in the landlocked places accumulates there only.
