Describe a Conversation Topic You Were Not Interested In Cue Card

Who You Talked With?

Everything was going very well but suddenly some of the relatives started talking about Coronavirus and how their lives changed due to this. I was able to talk to a number of people about the pandemic conditions.

What was the Topic?

They discussed its impact on their kid’s education on the economy. The elderly women also expressed how miserable their lives have become because of the absence of their house helps. I was able to talk about how the financial conditions of people have been affected by the pandemic. We also talked about the health deterioration which has affected people’s mental conditions along with physical conditions as well.

They shared the feelings of fear they had during the lockdown. The effects on their lives and also effects on their mental health. They were physically and mentally struggling.

Why Were You Not Interested in this topic?

I went out of my home for that party after several months. I wanted to give myself a break from these problems. But unfortunately, the same topic was also going on. The conversation lasted till the end of the party and I felt irritated but out of respect for the elders, I tried to accompany them. I really did not want to be part of the conversation even after several months of the same. While it was depressing hearing about the loss and conditions that people had, talking about it more only makes you more depressed. I wanted a free, happy, and relaxed time but it went the opposite. I was excited about the party but my excitement was immediately lost when I started the conversation.

Who you talked with?

I was having a little chat about the weddings and all the rituals within the wedding ceremony with the aunts and other relatives. These aunts are mostly my relatives from both my family’s sides and their children were also present. I love spending time with my siblings.

What was the topic?

My aunts were talking about what is the right age for girls to get married and trying to convince me and my cousin to get married soon. They were trying to give us all sorts of advice. Our marriage was the center of their discussion. They told us that girls should get married to successful men right after their graduation or even before they get a perfect match. When we tried to prove our reason and point of view about marriage they rejected it. They didn't try to understand what we were trying to convey.

Why were you not interested in the topic?

The conversation was extremely not disrespectful and quite traditional. These ants even told us that if we cross 25 years of age, there would be a question about our character and we would not find a perfect mate for ourselves. According to them, we can be happy only after marriage. I was not interested in this conversation because marriage is not the only milestone in an individual’s life, marriages can be delayed. Career is more prominent to survive in this world irrespective of gender. I didn't like the topic of conversation also because they had a mindset that girls should be married as soon as possible. Just because it reduces the pressure and responsibility on parents' shoulders.

According to me, marriage should be an individual's choice and not a foundation. No one can force their point of view and their choices on anyone else.

Who did you talk with?

A fortnight ago, I met with my old mate, John. When I met him two weeks ago, we went to a fast-food restaurant. There he shared his vision with me to start a business. I was extremely interested in his enthusiastic personality. I was quite amazed at how I was able to talk with him with such great enjoyment.

What was the topic?

I was excited to hear his idea and he shared some interesting and innovative thoughts. Then, he told me that he would like to invest millions in his venture and take a loan from the bank. I tried to explain the situation to him that he should start his business with a minimal amount so that he can bear losses in the worst-case scenario. He was talking about unrealistic things which made the whole conversation dull and useless. Everything was going very well, we were having fun.

Why were you not interested in the conversation?

Suddenly some of the cousins started discussing one of our relative’s personal lives. The relative was the main character of the discussion, who got recently divorced thus firing up much gossip. I tried to change the conversation topic but he was not in the mood to change this topic of conversation. I do not like to discuss people’s personal life. Everyone has his/ her battle. We should not judge someone. These are against my morals and ethics. I don't like someone judging others because I never judge anyone. And everybody has their own personal lives and one must never interfere. To gossip about someone's personal life and to judge is really a bad habit. Because everyone in this world is living the way they want to and we have no right to judge them on their choices.
