part 1(5 to 10) Do you enjoy your stage? Although every stage of life has its own trials and toils, they are also accompanied by certain benefits and uniqueness. So, even though my current stage of life is full of commitments and future endeavors, I also enjoy the accolades of my colleagues and the eternal love of my family. what is your happiest stage? I used to miss my nonchalant childhood days. But now that I have attained maturity, I think I was happiest during adolescence because I had the best days of my school life, opportunities to learn unknown things, face untried challenges, and also the freedom without carrying the load of liabilities of adulthood. Which is the most important? In my view, adolescence is the most critical stage of a person's life as it is the turning point and can make or break the blossoming of life. In other words, this is when we leave behind the unconcerned days of childhood and are on the verge of being accountable adults. So, everyone needs appropriate direction and care, without which they can fall prey to peer and societal pressure and easily be led astray. What's your next stage? I intend to pursue better job opportunities and acquire new skills. Apart from my career, I want to keep my parents happy as much as possible, explore new places and relish the comradery of my friends. What is the attitude of older people in the country? In my country, elders hold a respectful position in society. However, due to recent lifestyle changes, older people are left to fend for themselves while the young ones build their own life or move to other countries to achieve better opportunities. Consequently, a group of elderly have matched up to their changing times and the others die of depression and loneliness. Do you like texting? Yes, I do.

Yet, by mistake, she sent the location of another theatre in an opposite direction and is 37 km apart from the one where we booked the seats at. Due to this obfuscation, we missed the movie and lost the money we spent. In what circumstances is making a phone call better than sending an SMS?
