get to know you

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON AND WHY?

My favorite season is winter because there’s a lot of snow,

and its cold outside, and it’s just beautiful. When the coun-
tryside is covered with snow, it’s just perfectly white, and I
think that’s amazing. Also, I love to build a snowman, have
snowball fights with my friends, so that is my favorite season.
My least favorite season is summer because it’s too hot. I
really don’t like the heat.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEAL?

My favorite meal is dinner. Usually, everybody can rest and

have a meal in a calm atmosphere after a busy day. And our
entire family members are present for dinner. When whole
family members eat together, it makes me happy.

WHICH SPORT DO YOU MOST ENJOY ACTIVELY

PARTICIPATING IN?
Jay Shaik
Process Enginee r
I like all kinds of outdoor games. I can play tennis, badmin-
ton, and football. But I like cricket best of all. It is a favorite
game.

Cricket is an international sport. Though it originated in England, it has now been adopted by many other coun-
tries. Playing cricket has several advantages. It provides healthy exercise in the open air. It calls for the power of
endurance one should be hours without getting exhausted.

Whether bowling or batting, it requires alertness. One has to have one’s eyes fixed on the ball. One has also to
move quickly both in and for getting runs.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MEMORY?

I grew up in a rural area, and as a little kid, I always used to play in the fields with my sister and the neighbor-
hood kids. We practically made our mazes and spent all day running around chasing each other. And I always go
out to play cricket with my school gang. I want to cry thinking that life was so easy and funny. Ah well, I love
the memories I have with my friends now.
