Most of us do educate ourselves, some of us go to formal education while others prefer the non-formal, but every sane person does study something or other. Let us now discuss some of the questions related to studies and the possible answers for them.
What are you studying?
Presently, I am undertaking a course on English Literature from the online courses available from FreeUniversityCourse.
Why did you choose that particular course?
I have been a freelance blogger for past three years and with time I have realized that this is something that I truly love. So, I wanted to expand my knowledge horizon in this particular area. Learning English literature is the first step that I have taken towards because I think the language that I am blogging on, I should be very thorough with it. Post this course, I am planning to take a full fledged course on English writing, to enhance my writing skills.
What job would you like once you have completed your studies?
I would love to be a travel blogger, once I am done with my formal education. I love travelling and writing, and I think it would be a perfect blend for a career. But, then I might even take up a job as a journalist or may be a photographer.

In recent decades, most countries have done fairly well in achieving gender equality. However, there is so much more that needs to be done. With instances of gender discrimination in the companies, there have been rising voices demanding equal rights.
For instance, a female actress is more likely to earn less than her male counterparts. This is not only obvious in countries like India, but is a common phenomenon in entire world. Similarly, men find it difficult to get family friendly work policies, or flexible work arrangements to when compared to their women counterparts.
Every individual has the liberty to live their lives on their own terms. Hence business organizations should thrive towards the removal of barriers to ensure full and equal participation of men and women equally. Even more, the same policies should be applied while recruiting candidates. This ensures that both men and women get equal employment opportunities on the basis of their qualification and competence.
In addition, it should be the responsibility of the organization to ensure that every individual in its organization is getting the same benefits. They need to consider health, money and bonus. Finally, workplaces should eliminate any forms of gender discrimination on the grounds of marital status, pregnancy or maternity, and in relation to family and caring responsibilities for both women and men.
In conclusion, the achievement of gender equality in workplace is not only necessary but important for productivity of the organization and more importantly nation.
Dating is when two people meet either because they want to assess each other for future relationship, or as friends just to hang out together and make some memories. No matter what reason you choose for dating, it is something very common when a person is young and wants to explore himself or herself and the outer world. Let us today, have a look at some of the questions related to dating.
Where is the best place in your city to take a date?
I would prefer taking someone to Oxford book store. It is not a very quite place, but I being a bibliophile enjoy when there are lots of books around. And in the oxford book store, you can find lots of books and towards the end of the book store there are tables and seats where you can sit and it is very close to the window. They even serve you coffee. For me, I think it is perfect, because being a book store it is quiet and you can just while away your time, together.
What can you do if you want to save money and go on a date?
I think the best way to save money and go on a date would be to take your date to a nature’s place, instead of going to those expensive restaurants. A place very near to nature, like beach or a stroll around a garden, helps you know the person more and experience some quality time together. Because, often the best things in world ain’t expensive.
How common are blind dates in your country?
Blind dates is a very new concept in our country, however, ironically blind marriages have been very common in the past, where people used to see their partners only on the night of marriage. But, blind dates has come out only after the coming of internet and phones. These days there are so many apps where people can just talk and then meet each other.
Do most blind dates go well? If not, why not?
I think it depends on luck. If you meet someone who possibly has same opinion as yours or wants to know your opinion, then a blind date should go out very well. But, if the other person is simply trying to put on you what they think is right or tries to show you down, a blind date can turn out to be a disaster.
What is the best way to meet boyfriends or girlfriends?
I think there is no best way of meeting your loved ones. Because, I think when we are meeting our loved ones, it is good if there is nothing hidden or put on to hide something. I would say, if there is any, best way to meet, then it should probably be meet them as you are. Show them the real you, the idiot you, the wise you, the ugly you, the beautiful you, the way you are, no pretending, only the real you.
Describe your ideal date.
My ideal date would be somewhere very quiet, where the only person I can see is my loved on. It could be somewhere in the beach during night or a walk down the road with trees all around. I don’t fantasize anything very out of the box or larger than life, but yes, a simple daily life with a twist of lot of love would be special for me.
What was the worst/best date that you have ever been on?
The best date I have ever been would be with a friend I met some time back. We just thought of meeting and met around 6 in the evening near the backside of our office. Now, this place is all surrounded by trees and everything is so quiet and there is only one shop of Cafe, Coffee day. We went there, ordered our stuff and then sat down, simply talking and listening, pouring our hearts out and it was so magical, that life felt so much better after that.
When two people go on a date, who should pay?
I think it should be more of fifty-fifty. In my opinion, the idea of the male sweeping the girl of her feet is too over the top. On a date, I would prefer when we both order stuff and pay it together. It brings lot more unity, I suppose because it is no longer anyone trying to impress other but simply each one showing their side with the aim of accepting the others.
How many people should you date before getting married?
There should not be any number or count on it, I suppose. One can go on as many dates as they want to and meet as many people as they want to, before they get married. Because, marriage is not about simply living your life with the other person, it is about sharing your life with the other and if you are not comfortable with the other person, there is no point of getting married.
What do you think of double dates?
I think nothing of double dates. In my opinion, it is the most stupid thing one does, if people involved in double date are not aware of it. Yes, if you tell the other person, that I am interacting with other people as well then there shouldn’t be any problem, because in that case you are getting to know lot of people and there is no romantic side to it. But, if there is trust and loyalty involved, double dates is a miserable thing to do.

Some people believe that when choosing a job, the only thing to be considered is the salary it is offering, while others are of the opinion that you should do what you love. Discuss both views.
You should write at least 250 words.
Sample Answer:
It is the cofounder of Apple that has inspired the generations to come to do what they love to do. However, in reality, often the things that we love tend to give us little money to be able to survive in the world. While there are people who believe that nothing is better than doing what makes them feel right, there are people of the opinion that one should be more practical when choosing a job. In my opinion, it must be a balance between the two.
Doing something that you love surely gives oneself a sense of achievement. When someone does a job that they like, it is more likely that people will finish it till the end. It is only when someone does what they are not very interested in, that they tend to give up. Even more, although some jobs pay less, if it feels right, the joy that one gets by doing something that their heart feels right, gives much more joy than something that is done purely for money.
However, it cannot be denied that money is equally important for leading a life. There have been people who felt in love with acting and when they tried pursuing their career in it, failed miserably. Some of them ended up being in mental asylums, others committed suicide. Keeping in mind such examples one needs to make sure that they are at least able to feed themselves before they go on to do something more close to themselves.
Overall, it is important to be financially independent to be able to live in this world but it is equally important to be able to do things that are true to one’s nature. (284 Words)
POINTS FOR “DO WHAT YOU LOVE”
Doing something that you love or inspires you allows you to do it in the best possible way. One gives in their best and allows their creative juices to flow, while doing something that they like to do.
When one does something that they like, it is less likely that they will fail because they don’t do it for anything but the sheer joy of being able to do the things.
When someone does what they like or love or are passionate about, there are less chances of falling into the traps of competitiveness. No one does it to do it better than others, one is simply doing it to make sure they are happy.
POINTS FOR “DO THAT GIVES MORE MONEY”
An individual does not lives in a vacuum, they are different responsibilities that one needs to fulfil. To be able to do that, one needs money and that is very important.
Money provides a person more security and financial independence than anything else. A person with no money, cannot even buy his or her food, causing depression and other issues.
Sometimes a person does not actually knows what they love. Hence it is better to do something that gives at least money, rather than doing something they don’t even know if they love.
