PART 1:
Do you often wear makeup?
Well, I wear makeup but not in my regular routine life, because I am more of a natural-look person. However, when there is any occasion like a party or a wedding to attend, I love to apply light makeup as it accentuates my facial features.
2. What does wearing makeup mean to you?
There is no doubt that makeup improves one’s looks but since I am an advocate of natural beauty, I feel a bit superficial. But sometimes, when you are required to look a certain way, cosmetics enhance your looks and boost your confidence too.
3. Have you ever bought makeup as gifts?
Yes, many times because I have a lot of female friends who are really fond of cosmetics. They appreciate my choice and since, I travel a lot, so I love buying grooming products of different brands for them.
4. What do you think when you see a man wearing makeup?
In modern times, beauty norms are changing. Everyone wants to look trendy, be it a man or a woman. The use of makeup is no more considered a feminine thing. So as long as a male is comfortable and confident, I am okay with men wearing makeup.
PART 2
Describe a time when you were sleepy but had to stay awake.
When did it happen?
Why you were sleepy?
Why you had to stay awake?
And how you stayed awake?
There have been many times when I have stayed awake at night. I usually do so when my cousins come to stay over for the night at my home. We watch some movies and just have fun with each other. Here, I would like to talk about a time when I was really tired and sleepy, but I had to stay awake. It was the last day of my exams, and I hadn’t slept the whole night before. As I was coming out of the examination hall, I was thinking I would go home and hit the bed. But when I came home, I was surprised to see a lot of my relatives at home. My grandfather had slipped in the bathroom and injured himself. They had already taken him to the hospital and got his X-Ray done.
PART 3
1. On what occasions do people need to stay awake even when they are tired?
People need to stay awake when they have to prepare for exams, when there is some function at home, when there is a sick person at home, or when they are traveling.
2. How do they keep awake when they are tired?
They have some tea or coffee, which helps them stay awake. They may also take a few steps and do some stretching to refresh themselves. They may wash their face or even take a bath to avoid sleepiness
3. Do you suffer from nightmares?
I don’t remember having any nightmares, but there are times when I just wake up in the middle of the night, having remembered nothing. But, there was a friend of mine, who used to get scary nightmares.
4. Have you ever walked in your sleep? Do you know anyone who does?
I don’t remember ever walking in sleep, yet my friend told me about this guy from her college who used to walk in sleep and run across a certain tree until he got exhausted. Later, with the help of a psychologist, he was able to fight things back.
5. Are you a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper?
I am definitely a heavy sleeper who has to go for light sleep. I love to sleep and in my initial years of life I used to sleep a lot, but with later years coming in, I became more responsible and started sleeping only that much as was required by my body.
