An activity you liked most when you were a child.
What that was
Who often you did it
Who you did it with

Well, childhood memories make anyone nostalgic.
And I for one liked to doing many things in my childhood.

Since I was born and brought up in a village,
I used to have a lot of interesting activities to pursue,
We children in the past had the fortune of great free time
Especially during summer vacation/s.

And our activities included flying kites, fishing, climbing trees,
hunting birds by using crude weapons like catapults etc.

Among them I liked fishing most.
Because our place had, or I would say, we have
a lot of small streams and tributaries and wetlands
And there is a river too.
These waters were home to many fishes
and we used to spend a lot of time fishing.

We had a rare way of fishing, that is, we used to
Make fishing line and rode all by ourselves,
We made hooks out of safety pins
and we used cotton threat as fishing line.
The most interesting thing was that
we had the habit of keeping caught live fish
in plastic bags and bottles.
Our rustic pleasures did not see the suffering of those poor fishes.

Now, thinking of those carefree times,
I often feel like going back to those good old days once again.
Even now, whenever I find children go fishing,
it is very hard to find such scenes these days though,
I too feel like giving them company.
Well, that is it about the activity
I liked most in my childhood

A website you frequently visit
Name it
How often you visit
Why you like this site

Well, as an educated person,
it is difficult for me to do without visiting websites.
For education, profession and for information
people visit one site or the other almost on a daily basis.

The say way, I also visit some sites.
If I am to mention of a few, I would say, they are
Malayala manoramaonline.com
Search engine google.com
The famous job portal Noukri.com,
website of the Hindu daily etc.www.the hindu.co.in
Among them I like the site of the Hindu daily.

I visit this site daily, and I like it for many reasons.
First of all it is highly user-friendly.
An ordinary person with a little working
knowledge of English and computers
can easily navigate and access all information no time.

Second thing I like most is the design of the site.
It is designed almost like the front page of the Daily itself
With a banner heading on the top
And on the left, there is a list of headings,
they are actually links
Or they can be called navigators
Simply clicking them, we can access news on local,
national international etc.
On the right side of the home page there is a shopping portal,
it is for e-shopping and the same showcases
the latest products and services. We can simply know about their price, availability, specifications, quality etc.
And at the right side corner there is a slot for an online survey, where one contemporary issue will be posted, and the visitors can click on agree or disagree. This helps us express our views.
And finally, there is a ribbon like flash-line, which always carries the latest news items. These are the factors that make me like this site.

A teacher you like most
Who that is
What he taught
Why you like him/her

Yes, well, many teachers have taught me
Over my academic years, and there are male and female
Among them, a like a teacher much more than anyone else.

Actually, he was teaching me mathematics
While I was studying for my tenth standard.
His name was, or I would say, his name is
Thomas Joseph.

He is from my place itself,
and I like him very much for many things
Firstly, he was an excellent teacher.
He had thorough knowledge about his subject.
And he had special knack for keeping the class glued to him.

Secondly, he was an accessible person.
We students never felt scared of him
He was rather a friend than a teacher.

Thirdly, he was so compassionate and sympathetic.
He was always ready to go extra miles to help weak students
He used to conduct special classes after class hours.

I have one more reason to like him because,
He was the one who made me get though
My tenth standard exam, because I was very poor at maths
And he instilled in me some courage and
Confidence, and he made it easy for me to face the exam.

I have fond memories about him, and lately
I came to know that he left our school
And is now working at a school in the
Northern part of Kerala. I like him very much.

These are the things that make him like most.

Speak about the busiest time in your life
When that was
What you did
How you felt

Well, Sir, I would, I have always been busy
With one thing or the other
Say, studying, practicing, doing things I like etc.

Still there was a time in my life
Which I would call, the busiest.

It as in 2005 while I was doing my final year nursing programme
It was the busiest time because of many things.

Primarily, I had to clear couple of pending papers
along with that year’s papers.
Unfortunately, during this period
I had to complete a project work as well.
Altogether, the time and space available
for all these thing was very limited
And needless to say,
I had to keep myself fully occupied

This time of the year is the busy period in every student’s life
Still for me it was the busiest. Preparing, practicing, project writing,
And of course, writing exams one after the other in between.

Frankly speaking, this period taught me a lot of things.
Firstly, I knew the value of time
Secondly, I learnt the art of managing time
And thirdly, it was this period
that has made the biggest difference in my life.
This busiest life gives me great dividends
I am a professional thanks to that busy period.

And I must add that it is really wonderful to be busy
Now, I have the feeling that doing things in time is
A sign of good character, too.

A moment that made you happy
When that was
What the significance was
What change it made in you

Well, I have had many happy moments in my life
Like any other one, for that matter.
Still, some moments, I mean, happy moments
Have more significance than others.

I have got one such moment in my life.
It was when I came to hear that my brother in law
Got qualified for a fellowship
Granted by the University Grants Commission

It happened last year, and while I was doing my duty
On a Monday, there came a call from his mobile.

Actually, I thought it was an ordinary call,
But the next moment, he told me that he
Cleared the UGC test for fellowship,
and he would get some 10,000 rupees per month
for pursuing his research.

That moment made me extremely happy because
He was very much interested in doing research,
But he had no idea how he was going to fund it.
That moment was extremely pleasant for everyone.

My happiness knew no bounds,
because it was a duel success.
Firstly, it was a personal victory for him
Secondly, that success was making his dream
and our family’s dream come true.

That was the moment that made me happy.
Of course, there are many other moments, though

Something that you would like to change in your life
What that is
When and how
What difference it will make

Well, sir, there are a few things in my life
That I personally feel like changing.
Though it looks difficult, I would like to change it.

The thing is that I am suffering from
poor time management skills.
Actually this problems gives me enough difficulties
In my personal and professional life.

Most of the time, I feel that I don’t have enough time
To do my things. At the same time
I am very much aware that I too have
24 hours like all others do.
So the problem is not with lack of time
But it is poor management of the same.

I wish like to change my attitude to time management
Say, before I fly over to some distant locations.
I know I can do with this habit here,
But In a foreign location, I am sure,
one cannot do without
Proper time management skills

Of course, such a change will make great improvements
in my life, both professional and personal.
More over, I can have great control over things
If I am able to manage my time.

So I would like to change it as fast I can.
But I am very much aware that habits die hard
If there is a will there is a way, I believe so.
So this is what I would like to change in my life.
