the weekends.

Well, it is more of a friendly relation because we both work for the same company and
share our cars to work together. It is almost like a family friend and we do help each other
out in tough situations.
Being a bachelor, I spend most of my time either working or studying or being part of some
extra curricular activity. So, rarely do I get to spend time with my neighbors. However, I do
know that there is a old couple that lives next to my house and we do pass smiles when we
meet.

Neighbors, I believe are a family away from home. So, it is not only about just helping you

by is something that really helps in the busy lives that we lead.

Part 3

- What kind of people do you like to have as friend?

I find myself attracted to people who are honest and who know how to behave with others. I
always avoid making friends with people who have a superiority complex.

- Do you like face-to-face conversations with people?

Actually I like to talk with cyber friends more than having real-world conversations. I think
others observe me a lot, they judge me and hence I become very self conscious and shy away
from speaking face to face.

- Are most of your friends from school or from outside school?

Most of my friends are from high school. People who I met at work or from clubs have less in
common with me, whereas at Universities we all shared interests in the same things and
subjects.

- How often do you meet with your friends?

When I was younger, I used to meet my friends almost everyday. Even friends outside of
school were a part of my daily social interactions. But now, as a 23 year old working
professional, I barely meet anyone during weekdays. I meet my closest friends only on some
weekends. These meetups are sporadic too.

Q: Do you know the people who live next door to you?
I live in a society where we all have independent homes with a park in between the houses.
Although, initially we were unaware of each other, with time we all have come to know each
other. So, in spite of the busy schedule we have, we usually spend some time together in the
weekends.
 Q. What kind of relationship do you share with your neighbors?
Well, it is more of a friendly relation because we both work for the same company and share
our cars to work together. It is almost like a family friend and we do help each other out in
tough situations.
Being a bachelor, I spend most of my time either working or studying or being part of some
extra curricular activity. So, rarely do I get to spend time with my neighbours. However, I do
know that there is a old couple that lives next to my house and we do pass smiles when we
meet.
