Yes, sure. Here you are!

I have lived my entire life in Mumbai until now.
What is your hometown famous for?
Mumbai is famous for a few reasons. It’s one of the biggest metropolitan cities in India and there are lots of international companies there. It’s a very popular tourist place in India. It’s also considered the commercial capital of India.
Are you working or studying at the moment?
I’m studying and working both. I am studying journalism and working as an assistant editor with the renowned Newspaper, ‘The Hindu’.
Do you enjoy your job?
Yes, very much. It is intriguing and a fast paced job. You have got to work around the Clock and try to break the news as it happens. That’s our first priority and that’s why we are always on edge. We get to meet several people and sometimes need to go to different places. Beyond doubt, I love this job and I feel that I do justice to my aspiration.
Is it difficult to get such a job in your country?
I don’t think so, as long as one wants to work for any press. However, it is hard if you aim at working with the Renowned Press. They have limited openings, especially in the editorial section. People generally don’t leave such prestigious jobs because they are only a few newspapers which are at the national level.
Why is patience important?
I think it’s one of the traits that everyone should have. Impatience is proven to be detrimental in all situations. In the heat of the moment, people become impatient and they say something that they really don’t mean it in some cases. But words spoken cannot be taken back, and it spoils the relationship. Being impatient doesn’t really solve any problem whereas patience brings happiness and joy to life.
Are you a patient person?
I keep calm, generally. Although situations make me impatient on occasions yet I try to control my emotion or anger. I ensure not to hurt others and that’s the only thought I’ve on my mind when I really get impatient. That calms my nerve.
