Follow up questions


How did you feel after breaking the showpiece?
I felt really guilty and scared. I knew how much my mother loved that showpiece, and I was worried about her reaction. The fear of disappointing her made me anxious, and I regretted my actions immediately after it happened.

What did you learn from this experience?
I learned to be more careful while playing, especially around valuable items. It also taught me the importance of honesty, as blaming my brother didn't feel right in the end. I realized that I should have taken responsibility for my actions instead of shifting the blame.

How did your mother react when she found out?
When my mother found out, she was initially shocked and upset. She loved that showpiece, and seeing it broken hurt her. I eventually confessed the truth, and while she was disappointed, she appreciated my honesty in the end.

Follow up questions


How did you feel after breaking your mother's vase?

What did you learn from that experience?
I learned to be more careful with fragile items and to think before acting. It taught me the importance of taking responsibility for my actions. I also realized that trying to do something nice can sometimes lead to unintended consequences.

Have you ever broken something again since then?

I think which I broke was my favorite coffee mug which was so close to my heart. I think when it happened was last week I accidentally dropped that coffee mug and it broke. The all fault goes to myself only. And after that I feel so bad like that was my favorite. Back in the days when I was in college my friends gifted me that cup which was so cute and very attractive. But now I miss it so much. I don't know why it's happened but it's all my fault. I buy a new cup but that doesn't give a feeling to me. Whenever I try to drink coffee I demand that reminds me of my favorite coffee cup which I broke. I even try to fabricate it but it doesn't help at all. And I will be very careful in future with my favorite things. I know sometimes it's happened but favorite things always leave. I get a lesson. No matter how much you love them, a thing or a person. And I really miss my old coffee mug.

Follow up questions


What do you think makes certain objects special to us?
I believe certain objects become special due to the memories and emotions attached to them. For example, my coffee mug was a gift from friends, which made it more than just a mug. It represented our friendship and good times together, making it irreplaceable.

Have you ever tried to repair something you broke? How did it go?
Yes, I attempted to repair my broken coffee mug. I tried using adhesive to put the pieces back together, but it didn't work well. The mug was never the same, and it reminded me of the loss rather than the memories, which was quite disappointing.

How do you usually feel when you lose something valuable?
Losing something valuable often makes me feel sad and regretful. It’s not just about the item itself, but the memories associated with it. I tend to reflect on the moments I had with that item, which can be quite emotional and sometimes teaches me to cherish things more.

Well, I am living in the middle class family, so I value money over the things. Today, I would talk about a thing that I broke in my school time.

Cue 1:What it was

  • Mention why this item was significant to you or its usual importance in your daily life.

Example

The item I broke was my favorite ceramic mug, which I had received as a gift from my grandmother. It was special to me because it reminded me of her every time I used it, especially during my morning tea.


Cue 2:When/where that happened

  • Describe the time and place where the incident occurred, making it relatable.
  • Include any relevant details about the atmosphere or context of the situation.

Example

This happened last summer while I was at home during the rainy season. I was sitting at my dining table, enjoying a cup of tea while watching the rain outside. The cozy atmosphere made it a perfect moment.


Cue 3:How you broke it

  • Explain the circumstances that led to the item being broken, focusing on your actions.
  • Use descriptive language to convey the moment of the accident.

As I reached for my phone to check a message, I accidentally knocked the mug off the table. It fell to the floor and shattered into several pieces. I felt a rush of panic as I realized what had happened.

After the initial shock, I quickly picked up the broken pieces, feeling a mix of sadness and regret. I cleaned the area carefully to avoid any injuries. Later, I decided to visit a local store to find a similar mug, hoping to find one that would remind me of my grandmother.


Conclusion

    Breaking my favorite mug was a disappointing experience, but it taught me to be more careful with my belongings. It also reminded me of the importance of cherishing memories associated with items, even if they are lost.

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    I recently broke a really exquisite, inexpensive vase, which was in my family since decades. It belonged to my grandma, then passed on to my mother, and it ran in the family. Almost all of my cousins and their aunts, mothers have that particular vase. What actually happened was really filmy and really dramatic. I was actually dancing in my room, alone, and did not see my environment and my surroundings. While dancing on Chaiya Chaiya, I was totally in swing with that song. I did one stance where I jumped from my bed because I was overexcited and broke the vase. But I knew if I told my mother about it, it would be taken up badly, even as a 20-year-old. So, I tried to hide it by blaming it on my pet cat. Yes, I did that.

    A time when I encouraged someone to do something that he or she didn't want to do was, felt like I was slightly manipulative or persuasive in a more positive backdrop. This instance was with Meenakshi, a friend that I know through the Young Entrepreneurs Search community, where young entrepreneurs between the age of 18 and 28 meet, connect and launch careers in entrepreneurship together. So I spoke to her in order to persuade her to enrol as a student at Vellore Institute of Technology, Chennai, my university. I did this by having several long conversations over the telephone and in reality, giving her an in-depth idea into what a day-to-day life in VIT looks like, what she can expect and what are the advantages of this university, such as their excellent placement opportunities, vibrant college life, events, festivals and the diversity in the college are all major advantages that I talked to her about. However, I was also honest and sincere, told her about some of the difficulties that I have faced, since every coin has two sides.

The all fault goes to myself only. And after that I feel so bad like that was my favorite. Back in the days when I was in college my friends gifted me that cup which was so cute and very attractive. But now I miss it so much. I don't know why it's happened but it's all my fault. I buy a new cup but that doesn't give a feeling to me. Whenever I try to drink coffee I demand that reminds me of my favorite coffee cup which I broke. I even try to fabricate it but it doesn't help at all. And I will be very careful in future with my favorite things. I know sometimes it's happened but favorite things always leave. I get a lesson. No matter how much you love them, a thing or a person.

    Well, I am living in the middle class family, so I value money over the things. Today, I would talk about a thing that I broke in my school time. That is the mobile phone, my mother's mobile phone, and that was very expensive. During my senior examinations, I took my mother's phone and do some research and watch some educational content that was very important for my exams. I used to spend most of my time on my mobile phone that was provided by my mother. And I also used to watch some online lectures as well as lessons. But I broke by my mistake that I quarreled with my brother. So that was a very big mistake I made. My mother was very sad at that time. She scolded us that there was a huge amount of money that she spent on that mobile phone. I was extremely depressed and drained and guilty towards my mistake and my brother was also very guilty. Next time I feel that next time I will not broke anything over my aggressiveness. So that's very beneficial that money makes a man happy and also valuable things make a man unhappy. So definitely I would never ever do that again.
