1.Q |
Tell me
about the first time you remember being thrilled. |
|
1.A |
Well, unfortunately
it took me a really long time to recall when I was thrilled.
But then after a while few incidents did come up that I could

that I remember would be when I was twelve. |

9.A |
Me &
my parents went to Kashmir to spend our summer vacations.
Out of anxiety to see snow, we went to a really high tourist
spot where we fortunately found glaciers. My dad has a passion
for photography, so as usual he told me to give a good pose
on one of the glaciers. I enthusiast Ely stood there and after
a while I realized the glacier all of sudden cracked &
one of my foot started sinking in it.
For me it was frightening, but ironically speaking for my
dad it was an amazing masterpiece shot. He very calmly stood
there ordering me to stay still. And I couldn’t stop
screaming at my dad for not helping me out. One of the natives
of that area came out running towards me & then my dad
realized that it could have been a bit dangerous. But it was
indeed a very hilarious scene with one of legs inside the
glaciers & the other on the ground. It was both hilarious
& thrilling. |
|
|
10.Q |
What were
your thoughts and feelings at the precise moment of thrill? |
|
10.A |
“My
life was at stake” and my dad was enjoying his photo shoot
–these were the exact sentences that were going in my
mind. I was, obviously very furious with my dad & people
started noticing me. Soon, I was becoming a centre of attraction. |
|
|
11.Q |
What did
you do afterwards? |
|
11.A |
I yelled
at my dad & didn’t speak to him for almost an hour. |
|
|
12.Q |
What were
the risks? |
|
12.A |
There were
no risks since I couldn’t have gone anymore deeper because
level of the ice was low. And after this I was pampered for
an entire week by my dad. |
|
|
13.Q |
What did
you imagine other people thought of you during and after the
event? |
|
13.A |
For
them it was pretty hilarious. I guess others had a gala time
to see a little girl creating a scene.
After my dad helped me out, we immediately left and thus
I was not there to see the later reaction of the people. |
|
|
14.Q |
How often
do you think about the event, and why? |
|
14.A |
Whenever
I see glaciers, I’m reminded of the moment.
After all, who can forget the thrilling experiences of their
lives? |
|
|
15.Q |
Some people
probably don’t understand how such a thing can thrill
you; explain it to them. |
|
15.A |
“Step
into my shoes”. |
|
|
16.Q |
What three
changes could have made the experience better, and why? |
|
16.A |
Well maybe
if I could have gone a little bit more deeper into the ice &
my dad could have taken the pic with his camera, the whole experience
would have been just amazing & shocking. And off course
it would have resulted to a masterpiece photograph. |
