In the busy world that we live in we all have got different meanings for weekends and weekdays. Some although tend to have the same life for all the days, while some tend to live completely different lives on these days. Let us today have a look at some of the questions and their possible answers related to weekends and weekdays.

Do you spend all your weekends the same way?

Well, too an extent you can say yes. My job is such that I have very less time for travelling during weekdays, but travelling and blogging being very important for me, it is in weekends that I do the travel blogging part. So, every weekend I travel to a new place and get to know about the local culture and what is important about the place, the history and the changes it has seen since the time it was built. Sometimes, however, I travel with my friends as well and make some memories.

What is the favorite day of your week? Why?

I would definitely go for Saturday. This is the day that brings with it lot of possibilities for me. I am not working under any one on this day. I am free and free to take whatever decision I have to take for my life. I can travel, write, click photographs, meet people and enjoy the life that I work for on weekdays.

What day is the busiest day for you? Why?

There is no particular day because work can come out on any of the day and that day becomes busiest. But apart from the work, I would say weekends are the most busiest for me. Because these are the days when I have lot to do, travel, click photographs and then compile it all into a blog post which requires lot of draft work and then the final presentation.

Do you wear a particular outfit on weekends and weekdays? Why /why not?

I work at a software company, so there is a certain attire that I need to maintain while at work, i.e. on weekdays. I prefer wearing Indian formals during weekdays, because I am more comfortable in them and they look more classy as well. On weekends, I put on t-shirts and jeans for most of the time. Because there is lot of ground work that I need to do and tshirts for some reason are easier when you feel like jumping and fighting.

Will you change it in the future?

I have thought about it, but I think with time if my preferences change I will surely adapt to it. Like, earlier, I did not liked wearing Indian formals but today I find them more comfortable then the western, so I wear them. Likewise if the preferences changes, I will definitely go ahead with it.

In your country, do men and women do the same kind of things on weekends?

Things are slowly changing with corporate culture creeping in. I remember earlier, on weekends we all as a family used to go out and spend some time at a nearby place but as I have grown and working in corporate, men and women surely do almost the same thing on weekends. But, with other occupations, you can find women mostly doing things related to family while men could be find juggling with relaxing and work.

What did you do on last weekend?

The last weekend, I was busy preparing for the IELTS and I remember, I had a mock test. So, I was giving the test and then working on all the grey areas.

Do you like working on weekends?

Definitely not. I would say, work is surely worship but I would prefer enhancing on my other areas of life during weekends rather than just working something that I do on weekdays. Like, I have signed up for a badminton club, so I go on and practice badminton during weekends.

Do you think employees should have to work on weekends?

I think it depends on the person, but according to me, a person should definitely not work on weekends. A weekend is the time to work on yourself, to improve on oneself. There are so many things in life that we would want to learn and so many activities that we would want to do. I think weekend is the time that should be dedicated to this.

Do you think weekends now are important to you than when you were a child?

Definitely yes. As a child, I remember  neither the weekdays, nor the weekends did mattered to me much. Because I had a perfect balance of play and work. But as I have grown up, I have realized that for some reasons the balance is missing out. So, weekends become those days for me, when I try to balance out my life.

What are you planning to do next weekend?

For the next weekend, I am planning to go to Jagganath temple. It has been quite a time that I have been in Bhubaneswar, but have not gone to the temple, so I am planning to visit it and some nearby areas along with it.

Colors are an integral part of our lives and we all have our favorites. Some of the colors have special effect on us while some of them we simply don’t prefer using. No matter what, we do know something about them and that is for sure. Let us today have a look at some of the questions and their possible answers related to colors.

What color do you like?

I love violet color and then there are red, orange and blue that I really find interesting as well as attractive.

I don’t really like any particular color. For me, I would say, I am love with all sorts of colors. I find them all so very important in different aspects. Like you need a black shoe to be able to carry it with everything and then you might not like black walls. So, I think I love all colors and it is just that I love in different ways.

Why do you like the particular color?

The reason I really like violet is because I think it gives a sense of royalty and at the same time peace. It is neither very loud and nor very dull. Moreover, it really suits me and so I love it.

The reason I love red is because it radiates so much of energy. Whenever I see a red, I feel so much more energized about life and things around.

What color would you paint your car, and why?

I think I would definitely go for a black in my car. I really like black cars because apart from the fact that they look way more royal there is less maintenance associated with them. Like those dents and dust don’t appear too loud when the car is black.

Do you like red color? Why/ why not?

I really am not very fond of red color, because it is too loud and I really like calm and peaceful colors. I think it is good when you have to go out to a party or when you are trying to wear the best wedding outfit but in general sense, for the everyday life I prefer not using it.

Oh! I am in love with red color. I think it is not only vibrant but also displays lot of power, anger, love at the same time. And I think this mix of emotions that red can very easily display, makes me like it. There is this mystery around this color which fascinates me.

Do you like green color? Why/why not?

I would say I am not totally in love with green color, but I think it is surely that one color which is very important in our daily lives. Because of its similarity with nature, a green color brings in with it lot of peace and calmness in our minds. Some say, it represents self respect and balance in life. I think whenever I do require balance, I definitely go for lot of green.

Do you usually wear clothes in your favorite color?

No, not really. I do have a favorite color but it does not mean that I need to flaunt it everyday. But, yes whenever there is something important or when I am not feeling good I prefer going for my favorite color clothes. Because they give me lot more confidence and a feel good environment.

Are there any colors that have special meaning in your country?

I think, green, saffron, white and blue are the four colors that hold lot of importance in my country for the reason that they are associated with our national flag. Also, in marriages, we prefer having flowers of saffron or orange color.

Do you think different types of people like different colors?

I think definitely yes. A choice of color depicts a lot about personality of an individual and it is more of a personal choice. For example, someone might have a meaningful association with possibly red color, because it reminds them of something, so it is their favorite color. Likewise, every one can have and do have different choices.

Are there any colors you dislike? Why?

Dislike I would say would be a big word. But yes, I prefer not having browns around me. It is a nice color but for me it does not hold any meaning and I really cannot associate it with anything. So, I prefer not using it much.

Are colors important to you?

Colors are very important for me. They are the representation of what I feel about something or what I am feeling at a particular moment. Like when I am really very sad, I prefer wearing a violet because it is my favorite color and wearing it makes me feel pumped up.

Were colors important to you when you were a child?

As a child, I would say I was not very much bothered about colors. I tend to enjoy all of them. Back then, I think what mattered the most was the friends that I had and the people I met and the memories that I made.

When you are buying something, is the color important for you?

The importance of color depends on what I am buying. Like for a shoe color definitely matters to me. I cannot wear a neon or a red color shoe for sure. But then while buying clothes, I would say colors don’t matter much. As long as the entire thing looks great on me, I will buy it, irrespective of the color. Likewise, while buying a phone or any other electronic item I would prefer a black.

If you were to paint the walls of your room, what color would you prefer?

I would definitely go for a dark violet on one wall and a lighter shade on the others. For me, violet bring with it lot of positivity and energy along with it and so I would definitely prefer it.

I think I will go with a white because in my opinion for a wall there is nothing better than a basic white. On top of that, I might think of putting some painting or may be painting directly something on the wall, something that would depict what I want to be.
