Sometimes talking to people helps a person learn from each other. I had one such conversation where I learned some life lessons. Sometimes conversations help us make important decisions and this one in particular helped me to help me gain clarity on a personal matter. I had this conversation with my cousin during a weekend family gathering where we thought of going out for a breast walk and ended up talking for hours and made it night or day. I was considering applying for a university abroad but was unsure about the challenges of moving away from home. My cousin who had studied overseas shared his experience both ups and downs and the level of difficulty he had and challenges he had there. His advice helped me with pros and cons more realistically. I needed guidance about this thing so when he was the perfect person to talk to, he had been through it and he can understand the emotional and academic aspects involved better than any other person. That conversation played a crucial role in my decision making. It also brought us closer which made it even more special. So this conversation was quite interesting for me and it’s memorable till date.

Conversations help us make important decisions, and this one in particular helped me gain clarity on a personal matter. I had this conversation with my cousin during a weekend family gathering where we thought of going out for a brisk walk and ended up talking for hours into the night. I was considering applying for a university abroad but was unsure about the challenges of moving away from home. My cousin, who had studied overseas, shared his experiences, both ups and downs, and the level of difficulty and challenges he faced there. His advice helped me understand the pros and cons more realistically. I needed guidance about this, and he was the perfect person to talk to; he had been through it and could understand the emotional and academic aspects involved better than anyone else.
