This school was much bigger than my primary school.
So I was also a bit afraid of getting lost there.

I was a new face for them, so many of them were staring at me.
I asked one student about the location of the class.
Coincidently he was also in that class.

Before the day of the competition, during the practice of modeling, two of our classmates opened her bag and broke her shoe; she got injured when she walked in those shoes.
Luckily, I recorded all the happenings as proof.

The unique feature this hotel has is that it operates with minimal staff.
The savings they make from hiring less staff help them to offer a reasonable tariff to their customers.
Apart from this, the whole hotel runs through solar power
Gurgaon experiences immense heat throughout the year the hotel uses the sunlight by generating electricity from it in a prudent way

I made huge savings by staying in that hotel.

Introduction-
Although nobody likes to wait in the queues, sometimes circumstances prompt them to do so.
I too hate to stand in a long line.
When was it? , and what was it about?
But last month, I had to stand in a line for 8 hours.
Due to the corona pandemic, the whole nation was in a state of lockdown.
People were not allowed to step out of their homes.
After numerous requests from the general public, the state government granted permission to purchase medicines.
When I heard this news, I had a sigh of relief.
I immediately went to the nearby chemist shop.
I thought that I would come back to my residence in a few minutes after purchasing the medicine but it took me 8 hours in the cue outside the chemist shop.
How long the queue/line was?
The queue at the medicine shop was too big.
I persisted and kept on standing in the line.
After 7 hours my turn came, I got the needed medicine.
How you felt about waiting in this long queue or line?
At first sight, I thought of going back home, but due to my dad’s health, we needed those medicines on an emergency basis.
The initial few hours were very irritating to me.
But later on, I made friends with a guy standing with me in the cue.
We had a healthy discussion for hours.
While conversing with him, the time passed quickly, and in the end, I felt quite relaxed.
Because on the one hand I was able to get the medicine, and on the other hand I got a chance to meet a like-minded person. Though it was a harassing experience.
