I actually made a promise to my mom dad about being honest with them about my love stories and everything. Basically the promise that I made to them was about the love that I will not love anybody in my life unless they select a boy or a man for me for my marriage. I would say that was very tough for me. I made this promise because one day I was caught by my dad talking to a friend of mine. He was about to make me foolish by telling many things. I was not in that age where I could grab things and understand what is happening in the lives. But my dad understood that he was making me fool and making me fall in his basket. On that day my dad told me that is not at all right to do. I made the promise of not lying about the love for them. At the end of the day the promise was not at all easy to achieve. I had made this promise when I was in my school days. But whenever I started growing old I was encountered with many of my friends and everything where I was in love with somebody. But even though I wasn't able to do anything about this since I have made the promise.

Have you ever felt conflicted about keeping this promise?
Yes, there were times when I felt really conflicted. As I grew older and developed feelings for different people, it became challenging to stick to my promise. I often found myself torn between my emotions and the commitment I made to my parents.

What lessons did you learn from making this promise?
I learned the importance of honesty and communication in relationships. This promise taught me to value my parents' guidance while also understanding my own feelings. It helped me navigate my emotions and the complexities of love during my teenage years.

Promise, I think this word means a lot to me because ever since my childhood, the word pinky promise has come up almost weekly once by my parents, because they used to make me pinky promise for so many things like, do you promise that you've eaten your food? Do you promise that you finish your homework? Do you promise that, you know, you've not left any food in the tiffin, etc. So at a very young age, very early on in life, I realized that the word promise is an instillment of trust in something or someone. Hence, I've never really taken this word lightly, and it does have a significant impact on my life. In terms of the promise I've made to someone, I think the most easy thing for me to think about or to talk about is the promise that I made to my now husband on the day that I got married. I promised to love him for life, to be with him in sickness and health, to be with him through all the ups and downs, to never judge him and just quietly and silently be his force standing next to him. So that was the promise that made the biggest impact on my life till now. It's been five years since that day, and it's still the memories as fresh as ever. Apart from this, I think, you know, the promise that he made to me also was the same. And this entire thing, this entire promise is what fuels our marriage today. This promise is what we think about when we fight or we have low days or when we have bad days. And this promise is what gives us hope for a brighter future and a better tomorrow. And this is the one promise that keeps this marriage as tight as ever. I guess that's it.

Follow up questions


How do you think promises affect relationships?
Promises create a foundation of trust and commitment in relationships. They help partners feel secure and valued, fostering a deeper emotional connection. When both parties honor their promises, it strengthens the bond and encourages open communication, which is essential for a healthy relationship.

Can you recall a time when a promise was broken? How did it affect you?
Yes, I remember a time when a friend broke a promise to support me during a tough time. It felt disappointing and made me question our friendship. However, it also taught me the importance of communication and understanding, as sometimes circumstances can lead to unintentional broken promises.

What do you think is the most important promise one can make?
I believe the most important promise is to be honest and supportive in a relationship. This promise lays the groundwork for trust and understanding, which are crucial for any partnership. It ensures that both individuals feel safe to express their feelings and rely on each other during difficult times.

    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 making a promise to my mom when I was in 10th standard to get a percentage about 90 on my boards. So that was a really tough promise for me to make because I was not doing very well in my curriculum during that time. Since I made this promise to my mom I really wanted to achieve it because my mom is somebody that I love a lot and I don't want to break any promises that I give to her. So I tried so hard. I studied every day, morning, evening. I was studying like hell and then finally when the results came I couldn't achieve about 90 percentage. So after that I always felt like whatever promise I made to my loved ones I should always achieve it. It can be very tough but I can at least try to achieve it because that means a lot to them and me when I when I hold on to hold on to my words. So yeah that was a promise that I still remember that I made and I've achieved.

    So this was a promise which I made to my father when I was in 6th standard. So during my childhood I fell in love with the sport badminton and I have decided and made up my mind that I have to go pro in this field. So as I wanted to become a badminton player it was necessary for me to have the required equipments like a very good badminton racket, a really good kit and indoor shoes as well. So it was not easy as we didn't come off from a well-off family. It was very expensive to buy those things. So I had to request my father and make a promise that I will eventually play well and achieve good in the regional and national level tournaments so that I can prove that these things are worth it for me to buy.

    My friend's name is Ananya. She is from Agra and she is my college friend. Once I promised her that I would bring homemade Rajma Chawal for her because she really craved for homemade food. And obviously she really missed her mom. So the next day I really wanted my mom to make Rajma Chawal and I persuaded her and requested that can you please make some Rajma Chawal. But unfortunately when she opened the box with Rajma beans, it was empty. And it was late at night. We couldn't do anything. All the shops were closed. It was a frenzy moment. I started feeling guilty that I am going to let down my friend. And she really wanted to have those Rajma Chawal. And I also wanted her to savour the food that is my comfort food usually on the weekends. I really asked my father also if he could do something, arrange for some Rajma beans. We tried. We asked the neighbours. But unfortunately we couldn't arrange the Rajma beans. The next day I woke up with the sense of guilt that today I will have to face my friend and tell her that I disappointed her and I couldn't keep the promise. So I went into the classroom. I saw my friend. She was smiling at me. Maybe with the hope that I brought the infamous homemade comfort food that I promised her the day before. But as I approached, I sat down and I just explained her the situation. And she agreed that.

    Band 6

    During my childhood, I made one promise to my mother. The promise was about that I am going to study harder and perform better in my exam. A well said that the more you practice, the less you will bleed in the fight. So, the same way, I start preparing for my exam. The reason why do I make that promise to my mom is my score was really very bad at one particular moment. And it is not at all easy to achieve that particular task. Although, when I was preparing for my ICSC exam, at that time, I got suffered by some of the disease. It was a stomach ulcer due to which all my preparation went very badly and I was unable to prepare the way I has to. After some time, when I made a promise to my mother, I started working very hard. I put all my efforts and I achieved my desired score. And my mother felt ecstatic about that particular moment and we enjoyed that moment. My mom threw a party for me. I invited all my close friends and that was something which I always remember throughout my life. Whenever you make promise to someone, you have to fulfill that promise. Thank you.
