Male Female
I have to admit that I have a bad habit of procrastinating things until the last minute, so I would like to tell you about a time when I had to finish something very quickly. This happened last year, in January 2023. I was getting married, and my wedding was already fixed for January 30th. I was still working in a company as an admin assistant, which means you have to take care of a lot of things. There are things like managing your office, preparing for your work, and also taking care of your personal life. In my case, I had to design my wedding outfit, take care of shopping for the wedding, and manage my personal well-being. I was the only girl in my family, so I had to take care of everything. I had both of these responsibilities, and I was working every day and every second. I didn't get a day off. It was a very stressful time because I had to finish a lot of functions. In India, there are many functions you have to look after, and for each function, you have to wear a different outfit. The first function was a haldi ceremony, and the next function was a mehendi ceremony. You don't just wear any outfit; you have to coordinate all the outfits and make sure they have similar colors. So, it was a very busy time for me.
