Sample Answer
Sample answer
In our life, we use myriads of things that help us in one way or another.
Some people are materialistic, and some are minimalist.
I won’t call myself a minimalist, but I also don’t like hoarding things.
Having said that, I must confess that some things are an inseparable part of our lives.
For me, if I were to pick out a useful object in my house, I would choose my TV.
I can also not live without my phone, but I would be clueless if ever I lost my TV.
I must confess that I am not addicted to my TV. But I like watching a particular TV show whenever I am at home in the evening.
The name of the show is Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma.
It is a popular comedy series about a housing society in Mumbai city.
The show has its own brand of humor in it.
It’s a family show and one can watch it with family. There are no double meaning words or obscene remarks about anyone in this show.
In the evening, when everyone is at home, it is like a stressbuster to watch this show on TV.
We all have our mobile phones on which we can watch this show. But the show has an apt tagline which says that ‘real fun can be had with everyone only’
So, our TV affords us this innocent joy of watching a comedy show together with family members.
It is a 32 inch LCD TV by Haier company. It was very expensive when we bought it.
My grandparents were against it. But today my grandparents have changed their views.
They watch religious programs in the morning. And my grandfather loves watching cricket matches with my father.
This TV is not just an object for us. It is like a strong link that connects us with each other.
Sometimes, I use it for educational purposes too. I attach it with my laptop, and use its big screen to attend online lectures.
If tomorrow someone takes away my TV, not just I, but also my family will be missing it terribly.
Some people say that smart phone has rendered the TV obsolete.
In my opinion, TV has its unique place in our lives that no other device can ever occupy.
