Is there anything that you wish to change about this world?
The one thing that I truly want to change about the world is the education system. The feeling of just fulfilling oneself and stop caring about others. I wish that every one in this world, irrespective of the country, religion and stature is born, should be given good quality education, the kind of education that makes talented doctors, engineers, painter, musicians, writers, the dreamers.
In many cultures, people make wish by throwing something into water, like a coin, why do you think people do it?
I think it could be because water is very precious and is the one thing necessary for us to survive. Making a wish by throwing something into water, which is so precious might give people a feeling that their wish might get fulfilled.
I think fresh water was at a scarcity long time back and if people got to see fresh water, they must have assumed it to be a gift from God. In this way, people started throwing coins or other things to make a wish to the God.
What do you wish to do in the next year?
The next year, I wish to be able to get more knowledge about the field that I have chosen and become a master. Also, I wish to be able to start the travelling blog that I have been planning for so long.
The next year, I wish to get admission in a good college after getting a high band in IELTS. I wish to study well and get a great job for myself.
What do you wish you could eat right now?
I wish I could get lot of chocolates and ice creams right now.
When do people make wishes in your culture?
In my country, people often make wishes when they go to temples. There are people who travel all across the country to be able to see their gods and make a wish. Apart from temples, people even make wishes just before sleeping, but for the most part, people tend to go to temples.
Have any of your wishes ever come true?
Yes, there have been so many wishes that I have made and they have come true. I remember, once I wished for a cycle and I thought it might never get fulfilled. But, after a month, my father gave me a surprise gift of a cycle. It was amazing because I never told him that I did need a cycle.
Do you ever wish you could travel back in time?
Yes of course there are times I do wish likewise, but it is not because I want to change something about my past but because I just want to tell myself that everything is fine and if just keep the faith going on, it is possible to get whatever I want. That the fear that I have is of no use and it will all go past. That silence is not the solution to any problem. There are so many things I wish I could tell my younger self.
Is there anything you wish you had at present?
O yes, of course. I am in a dire need of a laptop and a DSLR. I wish I could get them as soon as possible. I have even started saving for them and hope that I will be able to present myself with these two things very soon.
