Part 3 Follow Up Questions

1. What do people in your country like to do when they are free?
   People do a lot of things during their free time, most of the people like to gossip with each other or
   get in touch with friends and mobile. Nowadays, most of the people use the mobile phones to listen
   music or watch videos whenever they are free.
2. Do you think parents should make plans for their children?
   Yes parents should definitely make plans for their children because if they are kept free then they
   will get bored and might create trouble for others. Also the children can learn a lot of things if there
   parents plan their time
3. Do you think most people are able to manage their free time?
   I think most people get very little free time these days so they do not think about managing it.
   Everyone is very busy these days and people hardly get time to relax so whenever they get free
   they like to do nothing
4. What is the difference between the things people did in their free time in the past and the
   things they do nowadays?
   In the past there was hardly any technology so people mostly did gossip during their free time
   whereas nowadays people have access to lot of gadgets which keep them busy when they are free.
5. Is it important to have a break during work or study?
   Definitely, I think our brains can only pay attention to something for a limited time before getting
   distracted. Without a break, we lose our ability to concentrate and ultimately it affects our
   productivity.
6. What kind of sports do young people like to play nowadays?
   Youngsters play the same kind of sports as in the past like cricket, football, soccer, hockey etcetera.
   However, youngsters today play less sports as compared to the past as they prefer electronic
   games.
7. Are they more activities for young people now than 20 years ago?
   Without a doubt, yes. I think the coming of Internet has opened up so many more avenues than in
   the past. For example, youngsters today have opportunity to play electronic games with their
   friends online, spend time on social media. Even with regards to traditional activities, like playing
   chess, they can play with so many people online, which was not possible in the past.
8. Can most people achieve work life balance in India?
   On the contrary, I feel very few people are able to do that. The increasing competition and long
   working hours mean that people are finding it very hard to find time for their loved ones.
9. Do people have enough time for leisure activities nowadays?
   No, I don’t think so. The increasing familial responsibilities due to nuclear families and long working
   hours give people very little time for leisure activities. This lack of time is the biggest time for the
   increasing stress in people’s lives.
