As we all know, last year Coldplay came to India and I have been the biggest fan of the Coldplay in this country. I have been listening to Coldplay since my childhood and I really wanted to go to the show. So as soon as they announced the show that they are coming to India, I just wanted to get the tickets. And as soon as the tickets went live on BookMyShow, the ticket booking app here in India, I just logged into my ID and clicked on Coldplay and I clicked book now and I saw that I am in the queue with thousands of people ahead of me waiting for their tickets too. I felt anxious. In reality, I felt anxious while waiting in the queue. It was tough. Even if I waited for 5 minutes, it had been 5 minutes since I logged into BookMyShow. It felt like hours and I was waiting there for a long time, waiting for my tickets. And I waited for my tickets, I waited for my turn. I don't know how many minutes I waited. I don't know how much time I spent on that app but I can assure you that it was a long time. And it was a long time for me because that rush of adrenaline and the rush of uncertainty, it was tough. But I got into the interface, I booked my tickets and certainly I got my tickets. I was really happy that day. But the rush of anxiety and uncertainty took a toll on me. But at the end, I was very happy and it was a splendid experience at Coldplay.

Follow up questions


How did you feel when you finally got the tickets?
When I finally got the tickets, I felt an overwhelming sense of joy and relief. All the anxiety and stress from waiting melted away, and I couldn't believe I was going to see Coldplay live. It was a moment of pure happiness that I had been looking forward to for so long.

What did you do to prepare for the concert?
To prepare for the concert, I made sure to listen to all of Coldplay's albums again to refresh my memory of their songs. I also planned my outfit and discussed with friends who were going with me. We even made a playlist of our favorite Coldplay songs to get hyped up before the show.

Have you ever experienced similar anticipation for other events?
Yes, I have experienced similar anticipation for other events, like when my favorite sports team was playing in a championship match. The excitement and nervousness were similar, as I waited for the tickets to go on sale and then for the day of the event to arrive. It's always thrilling!

In my opinion, one of the most special things that I waited for was my results in 2021. It was my last Nationals that I was playing and I was waiting in the back of the lounge, staring at the clock to just turn 2, so that the results could be out and more or what. As it was my last match, it was very overwhelming. But at the same time, I was really glad, I could say, because I was starting to get detached from the sport. And I think just staying in a sport that doesn't give you joy anymore is equal to suffering, rather than not doing well. But I gave it all I had and I was just really scared, but I was experiencing joy at the same time, no matter how it would come back. Good, bad. But at the end of the day, it was a match that had to be played without any choice given. I had my mom sitting in the lounge with me, as it was her first Nationals that she was watching. She was curious, I could say, but also sad at the same time that I was making a decision to leave the sport. Additionally, it felt like a burden, even though it was not supposed to feel that way. Anyways, I had my coach all along the way, supporting. No matter if it was hard or I didn't do well, he never told me that I would never be able to do it again. He always said that the range would be open for me to step back whenever I wanted to. It's a very special thing and I think it will always remain in my heart and it has a sweet spot.

Follow up questions


How did you feel while waiting for the results?
I felt a mix of emotions. There was anxiety about the outcome, but also a sense of joy knowing it was my last match. It was overwhelming, but I was also relieved that I could finally move on from the sport that no longer brought me happiness.

What role did your coach play during this time?
My coach was incredibly supportive. He encouraged me regardless of the outcome and reassured me that I could return to the sport whenever I wanted. His belief in me helped ease some of the pressure I felt while waiting for the results.

How did your mom's presence affect your experience?
Having my mom there made the experience more special. It was her first time watching me at Nationals, and I could sense her mixed emotions. Her support was comforting, and it made me feel like I was not alone during such a significant moment in my life.

Certainly, there was a time when I was waiting for my admission in Amritsar well-known university GNDU. I want to pursue a bachelor's in physiotherapy in that university. The university is located in Amritsar. That is a very well-known university. I wanted to get enrolled in that course from that particular university itself. Moreover, it was back in 2019 when I wanted to get enrolled but somehow I couldn't enroll in that due to my less score. I was feeling very anxious. The reason I was feeling so anxious was I was waiting from 8 am to 8 pm in the evening. In that moment, I was feeling very anxious. I was very nervous whether I would get enrolled in that particular course or not. What will I do if I didn't get enrolled? I was very anxious. I was very confused. At the same point, I was feeling a bit confident that I would get enrolled but due to some quota or we can say due to some corruption going these days, I was not able to get enrolled.

Follow up questions


How did you cope with the anxiety while waiting for your admission results?
During that anxious time, I tried to distract myself by engaging in hobbies like reading and listening to music. I also spoke to friends and family for support, which helped ease my worries. I focused on preparing for the possibility of reapplying or exploring other options.

What steps did you take after receiving your admission results?
After receiving my results, I reflected on my options. Since I couldn't enroll, I decided to improve my scores by taking additional courses. I also researched other universities and programs that offered physiotherapy, ensuring I had a backup plan for my education.

How important is it for you to study at a well-known university?
Studying at a well-known university is very important to me because it can enhance my career prospects and provide better networking opportunities. A reputable institution often has better resources, faculty, and connections in the field, which can be crucial for my future in physiotherapy.

    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 remember waiting for my brother at the airport two years back. My brother was returning from America and it was a special occasion because he was coming back after five long years and I remember getting really emotional and at the same time I was happy about the fact that my brother has returned home. When he appeared in front of me, I fell in tears and I couldn't control my emotions. I hugged him and we both laughed at each other and smiled a bit. It was a memorable event for both of us because we were meeting after a long time and in background a family was waiting outside the airport. Everyone was excited and at the same time pretty emotional while seeing my brother.

    The thing which I have waited for the most is a video game. I loved playing games since childhood. When I was a child, I used to go with my friends to all these game centers and play games for about an hour or two. I have loved playing video games with them and it has brought an inner connection of mine with them. Now, when I grew up and started earning my own money, I figured out that someday I would want to buy a game of my own. And I started collecting money for that and I used to save it in my bank account. I had saved the money for about 6 to 7 months. And during that 6-7 months period, all I felt was eager, the waiting period. The waiting period was very difficult for me and I figured out that I think I should drop the plan, is what I used to think. But in the middle, I figured out that I should not and I should be disciplined towards it. I started saving more and more and the day when I bought it, I was really happy. And that was the most special moment that had ever happened to me. I still try to contact all of my friends, call them over and we tend to share the game together.

    So, it was my birthday last year and my friends came up to my house to decorate my house and surprise me with something. They restricted me from coming out of my bedroom. I was waiting there for almost an hour and I was feeling so special about how my friends took out their time and they came just to surprise me with something and just to make me feel special on my special day. When I saw what they did, it was a really amazing experience. I was mesmerized by the decorations they did. They even baked cake and they brought flowers for me. It was kind of emotional experience as I was feeling alone for past one or two weeks. They planned everything in those two weeks and they thought about me a lot.

    So yes, there was a time when I had applied to an internship, actually a volunteering experience for wildlife conservation. I wanted to work for a rescue organization called Rescue Trust Center, which closely aligned with my passion and my interests. So I was already working in a corporate role. And I wanted to do this on the weekends because I was really passionate about wildlife. I am a wildlife photographer. And I really wanted to be a part of something that makes a change, that brings a positive impact in the society. I wanted to give back to the society. And during this time, I felt that Rescue would be the perfect organization, as it is one of the biggest rescue organizations in India. And they do not take volunteers so easily. They have a proper application and interview process. And I had given that application and interview. And they took a month to get back with the results. And I was eagerly waiting for it, for me to be selected, for me to be a part of that organization and work with the conservationists rescue team and learn how things happen on the field and give my input and then maybe pursue this as a future career as well. So this is the reason I was waiting for it so eagerly, so desperately, as this is something which was really close to my heart and I was really passionate about.

    Yeah, there is something special I was waiting to happen. With my own money, after earning, I have ordered for AirPod 2, which I was dreaming after buying an iPhone to have an iPhone like Apple product with me, another spare part. I ordered it from abroad while it was taking time off, like before 3 months of the person who were coming, I ordered it and I was literally waiting for this 3 months, like how fast it would go and how much time I should wait for it. I was in India, it was coming from US and it's very special because after my graduation, I have joined in a job, like not relevant to my role, like subject, but I have earned with my own money, earned it with my own money, I wanted to buy something which is special to me and I thought of buying an AirPod Air, like pod, it's a version of it. So and it's been like after 3 months of long wait, I have recently got it to my hands, it was very special for me and while I was opening it, it's very like unique experience, iPhone products are very different, like while it's interface was very good and the Dolby Atmos of it, it was very different from other AirPods which were I was using before it, it was great for me.

    There was my cousin brother and the most awaited thing recently happened in my life was his marriage. What is the main significant thing that makes this marriage special is it was his seven years of love and there were some family issues that prevented them from marrying each other but they proved their love was more than, love has more value than anything and we tackled the issues and prepared for this marriage. It was a beautiful marriage and it was a destination wedding. We picked a place and decorated it to our theme. It was in the lakeside and the entry of the couple was in a small yacht with what you say flowers, a flower blanket on top of their heads and yeah just the most beautiful view I have got recently.
