Model Answer:
- I am an extrovert, so there have been very less times where I got bored.
- However, I vividly remember a time when I went to my cousin’s place and got bored.
- It was during last year’s summer break.
- I had a few holidays from school/college.
- So, I made a plan to visit my cousin who had come back from his navy training.
- His name is Mohit and he is 27 years old.
- He wanted to join the Indian navy ever since he was a child.
- I was extremely excited to meet him as we both had not seen each other for the last 5 years.
- So, I went to his place and started talking about our childhood and we got nostalgic thinking about our memories.
- Suddenly he got a call from his college friends that they were having a get-together.
- He insisted me to come along with him to the party.
- I was reluctant, but he persuaded me and we both got ready and went to the party.
- As soon as we reached, a group of his friends came, and he introduced me to all of them.
- But after some time, they took my cousin with them to another table where there were some other friends.
- I did not know anyone at the party, so I felt a little bored and left out.
- I kept myself engaged by using my phone and having snacks, but I got bored with that too in some time.
- In about an hour, my cousin came back along with his friends and I finally thought that it would be fun now, but they started to talk about their friend circle and what the others were doing in their life.
- I was not able to participate in the discussion, and so I felt out of place and bored.
- I could not leave, as it would seem rude, and so I had to stay with them till the end of the party.
- I felt really bad that I was left out, but then I also realized that my cousin had met his friends after a very long time, and they had things to talk about and catch up with each other.
- So, I just pretended to be enjoying myself.
- In another hour the party got over and my cousin and I came back home.
- Even though I had felt very bored but seeing him happy made me happy too.
- So, I decided not to tell him about it.
- So, this was the time when I was with people and got bored.
