Who I am Summary in Hindi

 

हर कोई अद्वितीय है। यहां अलग–अलग लोगों ने अपने अनोखे अनुभव और भावनाओं को साझा किया है।

 

राधा

राधा ने अपनी पसंद और साहसी कृत्यों को साझा किया। उसने कहा कि उसकी सबसे पसंदीदा चीज़ पेड़ों पर चढ़ना है। पेड़ों पर चढ़ने से उसे यह अहसास हुआ कि वह पूरी दुनिया पर राज करने में सक्षम है। हालाँकि, उसकी माँ अक्सर उसे ऐसा न करने की सलाह देती थी क्योंकि यह लड़कियों के लिए अच्छा नहीं था। लेकिन एक दोपहर वह भी उसके साथ पेड़ पर चढ़ गई और दोनों ने इसका आनंद लिया।

नासिर

नासिर ने अपनी भावनाओं को साझा किया और बीज संग्रहकर्ता बनने की इच्छा व्यक्त की। उसके परिवार के पास गाँव में कपास के खेत थे। उसके पिता हर साल नए पौधे उगाने के लिए बीज खरीदने पर बहुत पैसा खर्च करते थे। वह इसे रोकना चाहते थे क्योंकि उसके दादा ने उसे बताया था कि अपने समय में, वे अपने पौधों के बीज से नए पौधे उगाते थे। लेकिन वर्तमान समय में यह लागू नहीं था। यह बात उसे परेशान कर रही थी और वह बीज संरक्षण की कला जानना चाहता था। 

रोहित

रोहित को घूमने का शौक था। अगर उसकी जेब इजाजत देती तो वह पूरी दुनिया घूम चुका होता। उसका प्यार न्यूज़ीलैंड के पहाड़ और दक्षिण अमेरिका की अमेज़न नदी थी। लक्षद्वीप के समुद्र तट और उड़ीसा का कोणार्क मंदिर भी उनकी इच्छा सूची में थे। उसकी पसंद में चीन का बीजिंग शहर और मिस्र के पिरामिड भी शामिल थे। उसे इमारतों से ज्यादा प्रकृति से प्यार था।

सर्बजीत

सर्बजीत गुस्से से भर उठा। जैसा कि उसके आस–पास के लोग अक्सर उसे सच बोलने पर भी अविश्वास दिखाते थे। जब उसने अपने शिक्षक से कहा कि वह अपना होमवर्क नहीं कर सकता क्योंकि उसकी किताब रवि के पास थी, तो उसने सोचा कि वह झूठा है। उसके माता-पिता ने उस पर झगड़ा शुरू करने का आरोप लगाया जबकि इसकी शुरुआत उसके भाई ने की थी। उसे इस सारे अविश्वास पर गुस्सा आ रहा था और वह इसे नियंत्रित करने की कोशिश कर रहा था।

डोलमा 

डोलमा उच्च आकांक्षाओं की लड़की थी। उसकी इच्छा प्रधानमंत्री बनने की थी। प्रधान मंत्री के रूप में, वह अपने देश की सेवा करना चाहती थी और लोगों के लिए चीजों को बेहतर बनाना चाहती थी। उसका मानना था कि उसमें नेतृत्व के गुण हैं। वह अक्सर अपने दोस्तों की समस्याओं का समाधान करती थीं। जब भी स्कूल में कुछ नया करना होता, तो शिक्षकों ने उसकी क्षमताओं में रुचि दिखाई।

पीटर

महीने का दूसरा रविवार पीटर का प्यार था। इस दिन उनका परिवार अक्सर बाहर घूमने जाता था। उन्होंने फ़िल्में देखीं, मूँगफली, आइसक्रीम आदि खाईं। इस सब से सभी का मूड ताज़ा हो गया और उन्हें ख़ुशी महसूस हुई।
