I live in a house /flat with my family.

Would you describe your house?

Yes, my house is located in Ranjit Avenue it’s a posh area of my city. It’s a two-storey building  made according to modern architecture constructed in presence of my father. My house has got all the amenities that are a must in a modern house. It has 3 bedrooms with attached washrooms, a  kitchen, a living area, and a garden in the front.

What facilities are there in your house?

As I said, all the basic amenities that are required in a modern house is available apart from all  mentioned above there are other facility

Do you have a separate room ? If yes,describe?

Certainly, I have my personal room in fact everyone in my home has their private rooms. I  have got my room walls painted with sky-blue colour and décor of the room is ultramodern with a home theatre, air –conditioner and study table for a superb study experience and I just love my room.

 

Reading

Do you like reading ?

Yes, I am an avid reader. I love reading various fiction and non-fiction books because I believe reading is not just a good source of knowledge but it keeps the person engaged and doesn’t allow the mind to wander here and there which keeps the stress level low.

What sort of books do you like to read ?

Well, I mainly read biographies of famous personalities because that way I get to know about the struggles and achievements they encounter in life but still manage to reach at the pinnacle. Hence, reading such books keep me motivated as I also have similar dreams of achieving great things. Additionally, I also love reading interesting stories for the sake of fun and entertainment.

Did you read when you were a child?

Yes, as a child I also had a habit of reading. I love reading story books and comics that were all popular in that time. My favourite of all time was the Harry Potter series, I have read all of them and it just takes me in that illusive world.

Decoration

What is the decoration like in your home?

My house is built according to modern architecture but the decoration theme is somewhat traditional. We kept marvellous traditional handicrafts work such as mud and woodworks, weaving and embroidery, folk toys and statues. My mother and I are very fond of decorating the house. All these conventional decorating items look so beautiful and remind of the rich Punjabi heritage.

What kind of decoration do you prefer?

A well-blended transitional look that combines a mixture of modern and traditional design is all I prefer. Also, I prefer that the architecture must be built in a modern way with all the basic amenities but the decoration must be influenced by the native culture.

Do Indian people like decorating their homes?

Certainly, Indians are well known for their artwork and love decorating their houses according to their preferences.

The best eye-catching colour combinations to elevate the décor of my home would be complementary colours such as a combination of sea- green with white, green and purple. I would absolutely love to get the walls painted with these colours with a ceiling made of wooden.

Being Happy

Are you a happy person ?

Well, I would say not really. Though, I try to keep my spirits high most of the time still some things just make me unhappy. 

What do you do to stay happy?

I believe a person remain happy by choice and not according to the circumstances hence I try to find happiness in little things such as getting new clothes for myself, it really uplifts me.

Can you stay happy all the time ?

I wish I could but it’s not possible actually to remain happy all the time. Man is a social animal who often gets displeased by the people surrounded with or the inner thoughts which disturb us.

How important it is to be happy ?

It is of utmost importance because happiness is not just a feeling it is an ultimate way to attain good health also. As it has been proven scientifically that the more happy one stay the longer and healthier life they perceive.

Yes, I will. I think recycling is a very good habit. There are lot of things that can be recycled instead of just getting it dumped it can do other useful jobs like plastic bottles which do not decompose is used for planting small plants outside homes or balconies as a piece of décor.

What kind of things you recycle ?

Generally, the papers and waste boxes, things made of tin or aluminium can also be recycled and things made of plastic I re-use it my way by which it does not harm the environment.
