Follow up questions


How do you think AI will change our daily lives in the next decade?
I believe AI will become more integrated into our daily routines, making tasks more efficient. For instance, smart home devices will become more intuitive, and AI will assist in personalizing our experiences in shopping, entertainment, and even healthcare, enhancing convenience and productivity.

What are some potential risks of relying too much on AI?
Some risks include job displacement, as automation may replace certain roles, leading to unemployment. Additionally, over-reliance on AI could result in a loss of critical thinking skills and decision-making abilities, as people may become too dependent on technology for solutions.

Can you think of a situation where AI has positively impacted society?
Yes, AI has significantly improved medical diagnosis. For example, AI algorithms can analyze medical images more accurately and quickly than humans, leading to earlier detection of diseases like cancer. This not only saves lives but also optimizes treatment plans, showcasing AI's potential in healthcare.

We have always ongoing discussions with one of our friends because whenever we are sitting with our friends, there are some topics that we are definitely discussing. But one chat that I remember with my friend clearly was with my best friend Vrinda. There was a time in my life when I was feeling very much demotivated due to current situations going on in my life. So by listening to my problems, she suggested me an idea for my mental health. She guided me to go for a yoga session or a meditation session because it will help me to gain clear insights of my life, what is actually going in my head and it will calm my mind and I will feel very much relaxed because I will be completely stress free after that. So I took her suggestion very seriously and I immediately looked up on Instagram or Google search engine for nearby yoga sessions and some meditation classes. Also, she suggested me a meditation course on Instagram and I quickly enrolled in that course. To my surprise, after getting my first session done, I felt that the burden has finally off my chest and I was completely relieved. Also, she helped me a lot during that time. So there was a discussion that is always important for me because I got valuable knowledge that despite having a busy schedule, how one can manage time so that they can be fit as well as mentally as well as physically.

Follow up questions


How do you think discussions with friends can impact mental health?
Discussions with friends can provide support and different perspectives, which can be crucial for mental health. They can help us feel understood and less isolated, and friends can offer practical solutions or suggestions, as my friend did with yoga and meditation.

What other topics do you usually discuss with your friends?
We often discuss various topics like current events, personal goals, and hobbies. Sometimes we share our experiences and challenges, which helps us learn from each other. These discussions strengthen our bond and provide a sense of community and support.

Have you ever had a discussion that changed your perspective on something?
Yes, I once had a discussion about work-life balance that made me realize the importance of prioritizing my well-being. It encouraged me to set boundaries and make time for self-care, which has positively impacted my overall happiness and productivity.

So, yes, I'm talking about language in India today, today's time in India, yeah, language is a very barrier thing for every state, when we go to other states, they are trying to convince us, you should speak in their language, if you are living there, and India today is very faceless, racism, through language, in Maharashtra, in Bengal, in South, in maybe Haryana, maybe UP, and I think language barrier is very, not a good thing, if you walk somewhere, you should learn, but if you are not learning, it doesn't mean you are punished by them, and my opinion is this, and I think this topic is very interesting, because we are Indians and we should participate in everything, including politics, including everything, and we should try to convince everyone, so they cannot fight it through language barrier, and I feel very what happened recently, in Maharashtra and so many places, so that's it, I think it's enough for today.

Follow up questions


How do you think language barriers affect social interactions in India?
Language barriers can create misunderstandings and limit social interactions. People may feel isolated or judged based on their language skills, which can lead to a lack of communication and connection among different communities.

What steps can be taken to overcome language barriers in India?
To overcome language barriers, we can promote multilingual education, encourage language exchange programs, and foster an environment where people feel comfortable learning and using different languages without fear of judgment.

Can you share an experience where you faced a language barrier?
Yes, I once traveled to a state where I didn't speak the local language. It was challenging to communicate with locals, and I felt excluded. However, I tried to learn a few phrases, which helped me connect better and made my experience more enjoyable.

Discussion helps a person to increase a person's effectiveness and efficiency and overall productivity and of course it also aids to inculcate our communication skills. Here I would like to talk about a time when I had a conversation or discussion with my friend and it's just very interesting for me. About two years ago when I was in college and pursuing my graduation, there was an assignment which was given by my teacher and that assignment topic was on the farming rules which was introduced by the government and me and my friend got the topic from ma'am. So we discussed about it, how government introduced these rules and how it will improve the overall lifestyle of the Indian farmers and we came to know about that these rules are not very good for the farmers as it is just detrimental for their overall financial security and of course for their future also and additionally my friends told me that it is beneficial for our farmers but I searched overall aspects of those rules and it was just unbeneficial for the Indian farmers so we concluded that these farming policies which was made by the government is not beneficial and of course it will not help the farmers that much and it will just help the businessmen in India and we just submit our assignment to our teacher and we will get, we heard good results.

    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.

    Me and my friend sat for an interesting conversation, which was quite interesting. We were discussing about our future career choices, mine being cyber psychology while hers being anthropology. This conversation reflected a lot about our personal values and we enriched each other with our thought processes. We were talking about how my friend valued culture and she deeply was moved by seeing different cultures, rare tribes, their loom industries and all such while I was more focused on the well-being and mental health of people, we were talking about colleges, entrance tests and our values and beliefs and we were quite vulnerable with each other at that moment.

    Well, a few months back, me and my best friend were chilling one summer afternoon and we started talking about our marriage plan and she told me that she wanted to have a destination wedding which was pretty interesting because her family is a little bit conservative and traditional when it comes to wedding and functions. So usually, we Indians are more interested in having wedding near to our house with lots of guests and friends. So it was pretty interesting to hear that she wanted to have a destination wedding and that too in Goa and I told her that her parents are thinking of having a traditional wedding and if they will allow her to get the type of wedding she wants and she clearly told me that yes her parents are a little traditional about the marriage and how it must be done but she assured me that she will talk to her parents, let them know what she plans about her wedding and what her heart desires and wishes about the situation and I felt it was very mature of her to just thinking about she will go and talk to her parents, clear things out on the matter and at that moment

    so an interesting discussion that we had among our friends recently was regarding the trip we were planning to go on a trip and here i was thinking to go to goa have some party and just enjoy the life drink beers although he was on the opposite hand he he was thinking let's go to some places where we can chill not drink enjoy some sceneries mountains that is literally the opposite of what i was thinking so we had an argument or let's say an healthy discussion about where we should go ahead we both have our different perspectives he thinks that life is different life is nature life is this life is that and whereas here i think you should enjoy your life you should drink a lot you should party a lot you should be happy but in the end we figured out that happiness for everyone is different for me happiness is partying enjoying out with friends go to clubs and for him party is i mean not party i mean happiness is watching serene sceneries watching beaches watching oceans submerging himself in the nature that's the definition of happiness for him so in the end we all ended up going to my place which is goa we had fun it was a fun trip and we managed to get a lot of happiness happiness is very different into each another but yeah

    An interesting discussion which I had with my friend was about how political situation in India is changing over these last two decades from Congress taking the power to then the power shifting to the Bharatiya Janata Party, things have completely been changed. Something which really intrigued me and my opinion was how the country has been intoxicated with the religious venom and how it is impacting people in day to day of their lives. The second thing which made me question this topic was about how the government is not doing anything towards the development when it comes to education, jobs and everything in between and how only we are speaking about violence, hate speeches, lynching and so and so forth. Secondly, what my friend's opinion was on this topic was completely contrary to mine when she thought that the government, the ruling existing government is doing everything best in their power to make things right in the country. However, the current situation says the complete opposite. Although after this discussion we did not come to a conclusion, we did had our own opinions and thoughts and we respect on that but yes, it was a lovely conclusion.

    I have a friend named Abhay. When we call it night, most of the time we discuss about to start a new business. That's very crazy because we want to become a rich individual in future. First of all, we talk about a new kind of idea that's made popular in public. We had discussed many ideas but the cost is very high. We can't afford it. My friend have many opinions about to start a business. One is to start a tea shop in the college or school area that's make the students attract. Then the shareholders buy the tea or snacks that's make us profit. There are many ideas we already discussed. One of the main idea is to make a washing store such as car washing center. Nowadays that is very popular in the world. I want to go Austria to study a bachelors. Me and my friend plan to make a car washing center in Austria.

    I remember that once I had a very interesting incident, very interesting discussion with my friend, we were actually talking about whether people after getting their education from India move abroad for settlement or not, we nearly had a long discussion on it, we both had our own arguments, my friend said that the one who is availing facilities and the country which is providing him the best education as well should not leave it after getting a job, but in my opinion, people are free to decide where they want to live, what kind of lifestyle they want to choose and where they want to settle, so this discussion nearly went for about one hour and finally we came to a conclusion that people have their own rights to choose what they want to do, though we got education and many more facilities in the country, but if they are getting better opportunities abroad or they feel like they want to work there, then there should be not any criticism for them, somehow I also convinced my friend on the same thing and she finally agreed to it, so this discussion went really well and we were glad to talk about such an important topic.
