Sample Answer 1
Introduction
Although I have remained busy on many occasions, the last one was special: hence it is worth mentioning.
When did it happen?
Two years back, I got a call from my elder brother that he would reach India within 2-3 days.
Where were you?
I was on an excursion trip to the hills with my friends.
What did you do?
As my brother was coming back after four years, It was a special moment. And to make the necessary arrangements, I left the trip in between and rushed to my home.
And explain why you were that busy?
I was busy because I wanted to welcome my brother with pomp and show. Firstly I had to arrange a cab for him to pick from the airport. Nextly I wished to make his arrival a memorable event. To do so, I planned a big gathering by inviting my near and dear ones. And to manage the show effectively, I had just two days at my disposal.
I worked wholeheartedly with determination, dedication and discipline for those two days. Initially, I started without any plan but eventually, I realised that without planning, it would lead to chaos.
After that, I made a blueprint along with a checklist. After that, I stringently followed my plan without any deviations. In the beginning, it seemed like a daunting task, but with the unabated support of my friends, I somehow managed it.
During those two days, I had little sleep, and I was on my toes.
To my joy, my efforts paid off, and the event was successful. Everyone applauded me, and I was on cloud nine.
