Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.

There’s still a hope
Only from good people.
Only goodness can
Bring the change.
Where change is only
truth and continuous.

On this holy land
Of Karma consept
I’m leaving no
stone unturned.
I’m trying my best
By putting efforts.

The spark you ignited
when you were young.
His whole endeavour
is to become a flame.
So that you can be
proud on your youth self.
You feel satisfied on
What you have achieved.

Your whole life
Is an inspiration
For next generation.
But i know you don’t
take any credit for it.
You give all the credit
to your destiny.
God made me do
whatever he wanted.

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

The darkness will disappear
Disappointment will gone
Silent night will end
you will have to be patient
Spark is still conscious
Definitely this will happen
Sun will rise on right time.

What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

The absolute essential objects for life are in five different ways.

Natural: Air, Water and Land.

Man-made: Clothes, food and mobile.

Social: House, roads and vehicle.

Spritual: Books, sound box, pen.

What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

Throughout my life, definitely I have many experiences that really shape the way I am today.

the trials you face
the experiences you encounter
the lessons you learn
the failure you deal with
the situation you react
the difficulties you demolish
the individuals you meet
the knowledge you acquire from books
the obstacles you tackle from front
the love you give and receive
the pain you inflict or endure
the connections you establish
the struggle in your survival
the battle you choose
and the losses you suffer.

We all learn and grow, thus learning to shape ourselves. No come to take care of you until you become someone’s need. So if someone is there for you they definitely have some expectations. In the end you have fight your own battle to be the hero of your story.

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

Promise because there is a famous quote “promises are meant to be broken”. This is a complex and multifaceted concept that raises important questions about human nature, morality, and the nature of commitments.

Specially those promise in which only two person are witness. They are most beautiful for that instant but after sometime one person became philosopher and make turns with clause and conditions. Now a days people make public announcement and take u-turn.

This shows the complexities of human behaviour in their relationships. it’s essential to remember that promises are not meant to be broken lightly. People must work on strengthening a culture of trust, accountability, and integrity.

What advice would you give to your teenage self?

Dream for it
Put all efforts
Try your best
Do it for excitement
Put yourself in examination
Search you strength
Feel your existence
Loose your sence
Don’t care for ethics.

Don’t blame others
Fire you patience
Take responsibilities
Don’t make excuses
Cross the limits.
Cheat you fear
Trust your dear

But, mission which is impossible to complete
It’s better to leave after seeing a beautiful turn.

What is your favorite drink?

Lassi is a yogurt based beverage, it is most popular and traditional drink of India. Lassi is prepared by blending curd, sugar/salt, ice and spices.

However, variations of lassi can be prepared in different ways and flavours. Cumin and cardamom are the most common spices added to lassi.

Mine favourite is with sugar, traditional sweet(Rabadi) on top with cream and garnish with dry fruits. It’s must be cold.

Write about your approach to budgeting.

It is very important for everyone to achieve their financial stability. The same could be achieved by managing one’s money well. This is very basic of budgeting.

I work as a contractor, it is a kind of business. After completing one project it needs extra money to work on another project. Generally its hard to take money out of business and put it on any investment scheme so we don’t do that.

We people don’t have any fixed salaried income so we only take necessary amount out of business to fulfill our basic need. Rest of money stay remain in the business. For businessman a good budgeting means is to grow their capital.

When we achieved financial stability by taking control of your finances then only we wondering to spend it on luxuries and increase expenses. Now I am in a process to achieve financial stability in my business soon.

Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?

Patriotism and love for the motherland is an essential virtue for all citizens and I am a proud Indian citizen.

In current scenario of Indian politics nationalism means hatred towards specific minority religion. People forget the true essence of Indian culture, tradition and diversity in it. I the shadow of politics, majority people become blind to understand the real teachings of oldest religion of India.

Vedas asks us to let noble thoughts come to us from every side, which reflects the Indian ethos i.e. tolerance, brotherhood, the world is one family (vasudhaiv kutumbakam), may all become happy (sarve bhavantu sukhinah) etc.

My Idea of patriotism is very similar to idea of Mahatma Gandhi. He wrote in ‘Young India’ magazine, October 13, 1921, that
‘Indian nationalism is not exclusive, nor aggressive, nor destructive. It is health-giving, religious and, therefore, humanitarian’.

Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?

Generally traffic rules are broken unintentionally many times. Its a violation of road safety regulation. It may be because poor time management or sometimes in case of emergency.

It can result in a fine, license suspension, or even legal repercussions depending on the severity of the offense and local laws. Many times I have paid challan which was sent by traffic police of my city.
