Answer 1

Interaction with new people about life, what they have faced, what they have learned is always a rejuvenating experience for oneself.

While conducting this experiment I was really nervous that whether the person will cooperate or not, or will make fun of me, etc. These feeling was going in all throughout my mind. when I approached a friend of mine, inner of my mind was this is not a good idea, nobody is going to share anything his/her life.

but when I asked, my friend, shared some incidents of his life which was really very impactful in his life that is how he lost his father, this is a story when he was talking to his father over phone, he was almost twelve year old, he was continuously asking his father for ice cream, suddenly there was a noise of a major crash, it was his father who died in an accident in 2007. This was the incident which he never shared with such details with anyone, he cried, cried, cried hard, but was, even more, stronger than before, ready to accept life with all the difficulties and ha[pppines it comes.
