    Spending time with my mother will be one of the greatest pleasures that I'll have in my life. She makes me want to aim higher in life, get better in terms of academics, in terms of how I feel, in terms of how I'm supposed to be when I grow up, how I'm supposed to work in a professional environment. My mother teaches me everything during these conversations. My mother always, always likes to pull my leg and have fun, have conversation which ultimately leads to laughter. We laugh so much that we cry our eyes out. That is how close we are and that is how much we enjoy each other's company. We occasionally do play a game of Ludo to engage ourselves during the free time that we have which is very rare because of how focused she is and how driven she is even at this age. She is always focused and always... What the f**k bro, what are you doing? I spend a lot of time with my mother. She is a homemaker, therefore I would always end up spending my free time in her company. She is a very entertaining person. We always enjoy a laugh together and make conversation which ultimately leads to a fight. We always talk to each other and make sure that there is no animosity between us and we always gossip about our relatives and have a good laugh about it. We would occasionally play a game of Ludo to pass our time. She is not very leisure all the time because she is always focused and driven about her language study process. She is aiming to be a professional Japanese translator and therefore I hardly get some time with her but the leftover time that she has is always with me and it is the same for me as well. It is a great pleasure that I get to spend my time with her and I would always love to be next to her forever. Thank you very much.

    I think the family member that I spend a lot of time with would have to be my dog. We got her when I was 10 years old and now she's 14 years old. I start my day and the first thing that I see is her. The last thing that I see before I go to bed at night is also her. I think having a dog has a huge impact on your life and as someone that has lived through it, I feel like getting a dog not only strengthens your bond with other people in the house, but they're just so loving, caring and affectionate and all of this is without being able to speak even a word. As a kid growing up, I was scared of dogs and I never thought that there would be a day when I would get so attached to them. But having her as a pet is hands down.

    I think the person who I spend a lot of time in my family would be my brother. Growing up we were not really close as any sibling bond would be. We were always up in fights, we were always complaining about each other, we were always messing around with each other. But after becoming an adult I've realized how important it is to have a great relationship with your sibling. Be it in my career growth, as an adult life, giving tips here and there. I think he has helped me more than I have ever helped him. And more advantageously I think we share similar interest in movies and food. So we often explore whenever a new picture comes up, a new movie comes up, we often go, book the tickets and we go together, watch it together. Or sometimes when a new restaurant or cafe opens up, we go out exploring food, we go out exploring coffee and stuff like that. And I think he has helped me a lot in my career prospects as well. He is very introverted, I tend to be extroverted. So I think our mix of this and that, I think we have great conversations about life and all other things as well.

    My family is a very small one. It consists of me, my dad, my mom and my brother. So, a family member that I spend a lot of time with is my brother, obviously. My brother is 10 years younger than me and even though he is 10 years younger, we have such a good rapport. We used to do so many things together. Both of us share the same likings, especially both of us love to watch TV. We used to see a lot of recent web series and we used to go out for evening walk. It usually makes me feel that I have someone to share my day with. After a long day at work, it is my brother whom I go to, to discuss about the day's work. I share my feelings, I share whatever happened at work to my brother. Both of us had an amazing childhood. Right from my childhood, both of us used to be tight. We never leave to any tourist place without each other. We love travelling. Both of us make sure that we travel at least once every 6 months so that we get to experience new cuisine, new lifestyle and culture. One more common thing we both love is food. We try a lot of different cuisines, we try a lot of new restaurants.

    A family member with whom I spend most of my time are my parents, they are the senior citizens actually. And most of the time, whenever we are free or whenever I am at leisure, I don't need to go to work, we cook delicacies, we watch series, we clean the house. The most important thing with them is, whenever I am with them, I get to learn a lot of things from them. They have a different perspective of everything. Even if we are watching series, their feedbacks are entirely different from mine. What they see through their eyes is unique, which I could not even imagine, or I don't have that experience. So I get to learn a lot of things from them, and I love being with them. They are my source of motivation, my pillars of strength, everything. So it's quite fun being with them.

    Family is a very important part of our lives. Without family, it's impossible to live a life. So today, I would like to talk about my mother. I spend a lot of time with my mother. Whenever I came back from college or school, I share everything with my mother. What happens all over a day and I tell him. I also like to spend time with my mother because my mother always introduces me to something new in my life. Sometimes I learn cooking from my mother because I have so much interest in cooking. And my mother tells me new recipes and sometimes it's my cooking test and I cook some food and that time I also get punished. And I feel very safe whenever I am with my mom. I can share every emotion of my life. Hence, my mother also shares her feelings with me. We both do so much gossip all the day because we are very close to each other. My mother always stands at my back. She always helps me in my work. She always helps me in my studies. Sometimes she is emotional towards me. Whenever I feel low, she always motivates me. She always gives me power to come back. So at the end, I would like to say this is the person in my family member I spend a lot of time with.

    I do spend a lot of time with my parents and mainly with my father who is an inspiration for me. From childhood he had motivated me in many sectors which made me who I am today and the main reason for choosing him is because he is very friendly and lovely with me. He used to buy me a lot of things which I required and without even telling him and he made me study and chooses my paths which are very responsible in this case and also he makes me a guy or a family man who I am today and I do visit many people's houses for social gathering. It is all because of my father and the main reason for choosing him it also include

    I belong to a nuclear family. My family includes my mom, dad and my grandmother. The person I spend a lot of time with is my mom. She is a drawing teacher in primary high school and she loves drawing. As a kid I still remember we used to have so much fun with colors and pencils. She used to give me a picture of flower and I used to color it with different colors and I still have those memories with me. My mother is a extremely talented in cooking and she makes all these beautiful dishes and now she teaches me as well. Cooking is one of her favorite hobbies although she doesn't like to cut onions and other vegetables so usually she asks me for help and while helping her in cooking we spend a lot of time together and it's very much fun. We also go out on beaches, mountains etc. She loves to swim so we go on swimming in pools together and we have lots of fun together. We also talk about different topics and different things which are happening in each other's life. Now that I don't live in my home we don't get to spend a lot of time together but we still talk on call and video calls and I miss her a lot sometimes.

    A family member which I like the most is my mother. She is the whole and soul of the family. In the morning we cook together, we eat together, we clean the house together and there are a lot of other activities where she engages me, she prepares me for my day-to-day work, she encourages me to have a good time, whereas in the afternoon we sleep together and in the evening we go for long walk, have long talks about life, how is it going to be in the future, her experiences, how it has happened to her and how she is. As usual in the evening we have a good time together watching some TV shows and again cooking, prepping up for the dinner. She is my whole and soul, she is my dear, dear mother. She is always been with me as a supporting pillar and she is though not, she is a little bit impulsive in her behavior, a little bit gets too taunted by some of the things, feels very bad immediately, I try to improve her on those aspects, whereas she tells me not to take unnecessary tensions, take care of my health from time to time and is a little worried about me always.

    A family member I spend a lot of time with is my father. We usually, our usual favorite pastime is to sit and chat about the current affairs and go for long walks and go for long walks and talk about things that are happening around. We usually talk about, I usually feel more comfortable with my father. We talk about everything that is going on in my life and that is and going on in in his life. I take a lot of advices from my father and I share a lot of views with him. I take his opinions about everything. We sometimes go and play indoor games like caroms or sometimes go play outdoor games like badminton. The time that I spend with my father is very precious to me because nobody can understand me better than my father so whenever I talk to him I feel like a lot of weight is lifted off of me and the advices he gives me are very dear to me and I take account of every advice he gives me.
