So, the most memorable event that I celebrated was my mother's 60th birthday. This is very important to me because it was a surprise for her. She was a very calm woman who never bought anything for herself or celebrated herself. So, I planned on surprising her with all her well-wishers, family members and friends as a surprise element to the event. I called all of them individually two days prior to the event and invited them to our house and made them hide in the ground floor. She went to temple and came back at about 6 p.m. in the evening when she was speculating that something was going on, but she did not think that there were nearly 50 people waiting for her to arrive and to celebrate her birthday. The entire family, to my surprise also, came with such a short notice without even thinking that I was a small girl who is doing all of this. They all contributed to her happiness and when she entered the room, she was on cloud nine to see all her elder sisters, brothers and her maternal relatives who she loved so dearly. My father and brother were also very vital in arranging all the food requirements and services catering to the people who arrived there. Without them, this event wouldn't have been possible. Even though I was the initiator in this event, I thank all of them who made it possible and surprised my mother and made her happy. In the end, she was left with happy tears and it was a moment of my life.

What other celebrations have you organized for your family?

I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness while planning the surprise. I wanted everything to be perfect for my mother, and I was worried she might find out. However, seeing her happiness made all the effort worthwhile, and it was incredibly rewarding.

I believe a celebration becomes special when it involves loved ones and creates lasting memories. The effort put into planning, the thoughtfulness behind the details, and the joy shared among family and friends all contribute to making an event unforgettable.

I would like to talk about my convocation day of my master's degree. I took a 3 year gap to start my master's degree after completing my degree. Because my parents didn't agree to do master's, so I struggled to join for master's degree. While I was taking master's, I was doing part-time job. Therefore, completing this program was one of my dreams. After completing my first year of master's degree, I started to think about quitting because I couldn't manage my part-time work and college. Because of my strong resilience, I continued my study and I passed exams. The previous year, I had my convocation. I felt very proud to attend that function. I invited my parents to come and they came. We went together. We attended the party.

Follow up questions


What challenges did you face during your master's degree?
I faced several challenges, including balancing my part-time job with my studies. There were times when I felt overwhelmed and considered quitting. However, I learned to manage my time better and sought support from friends and professors, which helped me overcome those difficulties.

How did your parents react to your decision to pursue a master's degree?
Initially, my parents were not supportive of my decision to pursue a master's degree. They believed it would be better for me to start working right after my undergraduate studies. However, once they saw my determination and the effort I put into my studies, they became more supportive and proud of my achievements.

What did you learn from your convocation day experience?
My convocation day taught me the importance of perseverance and the value of hard work. It was a moment of celebration not just for my academic achievements, but also for the personal growth I experienced during my master's program. It reinforced my belief that with dedication, I can overcome challenges.

So, the important event that I would be speaking today is the 25th wedding anniversary of my parents which comes in May, 21st May. We celebrated the 25th wedding anniversary last year on 21st May. So on that day, we had everything pre-planned. We started the preparations one month prior to the event because we knew that it's their 25th anniversary, it's their silver jubilee and we wanted to make it special for them. As children, I have four siblings, so we all together, their families, their nearest and dearest ones, everyone was invited for that event. So yes, exactly, it was a hot, scorching day and we had plans to do it in a garden. But because of the heat, we changed our plans and did it inside a hall which was fully air conditioned so that everyone would be at ease and comfortable and we would enjoy the program, the ceremonies that need to be held. As it was a silver jubilee, we did a small marriage party for them. It was exactly, they both were dressed in their wedding dresses. It was a unique day. We were feeling so joyful and accomplished that we were able to celebrate their 25th wedding day and it gives me immense, immense pleasure to just support my parents and give them little joy in these years of their life, their retirement.

Follow up questions


What other events do you think are important to celebrate?
I believe that milestones such as birthdays, graduations, and anniversaries are important to celebrate. They mark significant achievements and moments in our lives, allowing us to reflect on our journeys and appreciate the people who have supported us along the way.

How do you usually prepare for family celebrations?
For family celebrations, we usually start planning well in advance. We discuss ideas together, create a guest list, and decide on a venue. We also consider the food, decorations, and activities to ensure everyone has a great time and feels included in the celebration.

What role do family traditions play in your celebrations?
Family traditions play a significant role in our celebrations. They help create a sense of belonging and continuity. For instance, we have specific rituals for anniversaries, like sharing memories or toasting to the couple, which makes the event more meaningful and memorable for everyone involved.

    Answer

    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.

It is celebrated all over the world by the Hindu community, Hindu communities of our country. Me and my family and my friends were all present in this massive event which was held in my hometown. Apart from this it was a really special event and an important event for me because the whole Pooja organization is of our family consists of our family members only. So I can proudly say that the Durga Pooja that is celebrated in our hometown is our own function. Moreover I felt really devoted mesmerized and I really liked the event that took place for three to five days starting from the day of Ashtami to the day of Dashami which is the last day. I really enjoyed being there.

    I would like to explain about one of the famous festival in India is called Diwali. We often purchase new dress and sweets. During that celebration, when I was studying in the school, I get around 3 to 4 days of leave to celebrate that festival. Moreover, after joining the college, it was decreased to 3 days. But the enjoyment for the festival doesn't decreased. One more important thing about this festival is purchasing a crackers. It is official to get crackers during that period because most of the children purchase crackers before 15 to 20 days earlier. So by that time also you can come to know that Diwali is going to get started. But later on government have decreased the time to reduce the pollution of burning the crackers. I think it is one of the important festival because it helps the people to gather and exchange thoughts and make themselves free and stress relief. Because during this festival, we exchange sweets and give money to our family to create a strong bond.

They were very happy with my achievement. They were all very much supportive with me. They have supported me through all the years and they were really happy with my achievement. It's a very good experience for me. This celebration is like a motivation for me. It's very important for me. It motivates me to do even better. It motivates me in a lot of other aspects. Moreover, I can get together with my family and we can have this belief that there is nothing impossible.

    Well, I want to discuss, I want to tell something important that has I celebrated was my parents anniversary and it was the 25th anniversary of both of them. So I was very curious that if they have planned something about their 25th anniversary or not then before, before 22, before two months before, before their anniversary date, I start very knowing that if they are planning something or not. I asked both individually, are you planning something or not? Then I get to know that they have no basically any something special plans about their anniversary. Then I called my cousins and my brother that I'm going to give a surprise to my parents for their 25th anniversary and I want some suggestion that how should I plan their party and how, what, what they are, what they like, what they would like them for. So I decided everything and I take suggestions from my cousins, my older family members, my grandparents and above all, I never take, I never take, I had to plan that I'm not going to keep in loop about to my parents about that I am preparing and I am going to give surprise to them. So on the day, before the two days of their anniversary, I start preparing, I plan everything according to them. I put some plays and some games, I like some dancing competition, some music competition and I gifted them a beautiful watch to my father and a beautiful ring to my mother. At that day, I just invited all the relatives, close family members, friends of my mother's and friends of my father's. We all get collected and I, they both enjoyed that day a lot. They have done a lot of things for me and I think that's why it is necessary that sometimes children also give a special, give a special treatment on a special occasion to their parents.
