Well, that's an interesting question. As an introvert, I don't have a huge social circle, but I do have some close friends. During my secondary schooling, I attended the same school for over ten years, which meant I got to know a lot of people. That's how I met my best friend, someone who's been incredibly close to me for a long time. We met during a lunch break at school, during a cricket event. We were both passionate about cricket back then, and that's how we connected. We've known each other for over 15 years now, and we've stayed in touch ever since. We often plan outings together because we share similar interests, like going for hikes, treks, and exploring new places. That's one of the reasons we're so close. Additionally, my friend and I are both in the same field – we're both computer science students. This shared passion strengthens our bond and makes us feel even closer. All these factors contribute to our strong friendship and ensure we remain connected.
