Noises are the biggest turn-offs. And, um, one often feels, ah, very frustrated when there is a lot of noise in the background. One such incident that happened to me was during my exam season. When I was preparing for my physics and biology exams that were taking place simultaneously at that time. All of a sudden, um, my neighbors chose to renovate their house. And it was way too noisy. And they just live a stone's throw away. So it just felt like, uh, my own house was getting constructed from scratch. And there was so much noise that it was difficult to concentrate. The construction workers were so loud that they were literally shouting at each other. It just made me feel even more frustrated because I couldn't even focus well on my studies. Uh, it was very difficult for me to focus because I literally didn't have any other option because I had my exam the very next day. But they still hadn't, uh, stopped making the noises, uh, after, ah, uh, I made up my mind. I thought that I couldn't do anything. But, uh, I could really, uh, go to them and just tell them to stop. Also, the husband and wife living in my neighborhood, um, are not working. So they're always at their home. So they play DJ as well. It just, uh, makes me feel more, uh, frustrated. Especially the sound of hammers, uh, was so loud, and it caused a stabbing pain in my ear. Uh, in a nutshell, I went out to my friend, uh, to have a coffee with them in a cafe. And I thought that I would study, uh, in a cafe until I was done with my exam. Because there's no, uh, way that I could concentrate when I'm at home.
