When I was looking for colleges to apply to, I was initially considering Culinary Arts as my main course. So I went to visit this Culinary Arts Academy near my house to look around the place and see if I wanted to apply. As I showed up, one of my friends, who I haven't met in two years, showed up out of nowhere to surprise me. He had been living in Switzerland for two years, so I haven't met him for a while. And it was very surprising because I was not expecting him to be there. In fact, I did not even know that he was back in India. It was very heartwarming to see him out of nowhere. And also because he is also studying Culinary Arts in Switzerland. So he helped me a lot with my decision whether to apply to the college or not. In the end, it made me feel very happy, it helped a lot with my decisions and it made me more confident about my choice to apply to the Culinary Academy.

Follow up questions


How did your friend's presence influence your college decision?
My friend's presence was incredibly influential. He shared his experiences studying Culinary Arts in Switzerland, which gave me insights into the program and helped me feel more confident about my choice. His encouragement made me realize that I could pursue my passion for cooking.

What other surprises have made you happy in the past?
I've had a few surprises that made me happy, like unexpected birthday parties or receiving good news about my family. Each surprise brings a unique joy, but this particular one stands out because it combined my personal life with my academic aspirations.

Reconnecting with old friends is always a joyful experience for me. It brings back fond memories and allows us to share our life journeys. It’s heartwarming to see how much we've both grown and changed, and it strengthens our bond.

It was my trip to South Korea that surprised me and made me happy. It was my first international trip that was on business side and it was the first Asian country that I visited. South Korea is very different in language, culture and food when compared to India. I started the journey in July and the total duration of business trip was 40 days. At first, there was a very less number of people to whom I could talk since it was a different country and the language was a big barrier. But during my stay, I built a rapport with my colleagues and the local people and I felt the warmth and pleasure the South Koreans people show to foreigners. I got many opportunities to visit the capital of South Korea which is Seoul. I interacted with many locals and travelers from countries like Japan, China, Mongolia, America and Europe. So overall, I can say that it was a very welcoming experience for me in South Korea.

Follow up questions


What specific aspects of South Korean culture surprised you the most?
I was particularly surprised by the emphasis on respect and hierarchy in social interactions. The way people bow as a greeting and the importance placed on age and status in conversations were quite different from what I am used to in India.

How did you overcome the language barrier during your trip?
I used translation apps on my phone to communicate basic needs and learned a few key phrases in Korean. Additionally, my colleagues were very patient and helped me understand the language better, which made interactions smoother.

What was your favorite experience while visiting Seoul?
My favorite experience was visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace. The architecture was stunning, and I enjoyed watching the changing of the guard ceremony. It was a great way to learn about Korean history and culture while enjoying the beautiful surroundings.

Last weekend, my childhood best friend surprised me by making a visit to me in my city. She happened to coordinate with my other friends and give me a surprise. She visited me at my building and it was really a great surprise for me as I was meeting her after three long years. I saw her and the next reaction was to go and hug her. I felt very happy to see her after so long as well as I was really surprised by the move that she made. I was really not expecting this as I was not aware if she would be visiting my hometown anywhere near the future. Additionally, I felt really happy that she made time and decided that she would pull off this surprise for me and it definitely turned out to be really well. I got to know about it when two of my friends called me and they asked me to come down as they were waiting for me. Right there, I saw her when I exited the gate of the building. Overall, it was definitely a great surprise for me and I really felt great after meeting her after so long.

Follow up questions


How did you feel when you first saw your friend?
When I first saw my friend, I felt an overwhelming rush of joy and excitement. It was a mix of happiness and disbelief because I hadn't seen her in three years. The moment I recognized her, I instinctively ran to hug her, and it felt like no time had passed at all.

What do you think makes surprises special?
Surprises are special because they create unexpected joy and strengthen relationships. They show that someone cares enough to plan something thoughtful. In my case, my friend took the time to coordinate with others, which made the surprise even more meaningful and memorable.

Have you ever planned a surprise for someone else?
Yes, I once planned a surprise birthday party for my sister. I coordinated with her friends and family to keep it a secret. Seeing her reaction when she walked in and realized everyone was there was priceless. It made me happy to see her so surprised and delighted.

I was a die-hard fan of him. I love him so much that I never missed a movie, single movie of him. I watched his each and every movie going to theaters on Thursday for a show. It was all planned by my parents. Thanks to them and I got to know about this through my brother. He never keeps surprises surprised. He always leaks them off.

This incident happened three months back. My mother called me up and asked where I was at that moment. I told her that I am returning from office and will be back home in 10 minutes. Currently, I am staying in Bangalore and my mother stays in Kolkata. So she said, okay that's fine. When I returned home, I saw that my mother is standing just near my door. I was completely surprised. She gave me a surprise visit to Bangalore and that made me very happy. Then as soon as I returned, as soon as we entered home, I just clicked few pictures of that moment and captured that moment forever.

    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.

    One of the best moments in my life and one of the things that I cherish is when my friends came together to celebrate my 25th birthday. I was coming back from my office on a normal Sunday afternoon. It's my 25th birthday. That is the day when my best friend surprised me with something unusual, a gift that I haven't received in my all life. It was a collection of all my childhood photos, collected and pasted in a shape of a heart collage. It was very beautiful and it brings a lot of memories that I had in these 25 years. It was made by my best friend. She put a lot of work into it. The thing that I respect the most and I feel happy about is the time and effort she put into the work to make sure that I was happy, to find the best moments in my life and she made sure every moment was captured and shown in front of me in a beautiful palette. A lot of my family members got together to collect the photos for me. They all chipped in their own photos, their personal photos that they have with me and when I found out at the moment of my birthday when they cut the cake and they unfolded the collage in front of me, I was literally in tears. The thing that makes me happy about this is I have something physical to look at and cherish my memories in a quarter of decade that I lived and all thanks to my friend. It is one of the best and the most valuable memories that I have in my life.
