Undergraduate / 'putting my thoughts into a sketch' - extracurricular activities or work experience [3]

please explain if my response is fluid and effective ....and also do comment on any grammatical/mechanical/spelling errors!!...

I often pick up a HB pencil and start putting my thoughts into a lively two - dimensional sketch. Although I often am criticized for doing so while I study, however, I always spare myself a chance to do so. The misleading lingual concept ends somewhere at a picture on the sideline of the paragraph in my textbooks. Pick any of my books and you'll find lot of pictures, I use them to aid my memory. However in my free time I often find a quite place near the haphazard pathways, under the shady tree, besides the lake to sit and fill a blank A4 printing paper with something interesting, which represents my thought. I often wake up early, pick up my bike and start for the early morning drive towards the Sikandra Tomb which is not far away from my home. Sitting on a bench, there I often look for ideas that would help me create my next masterpiece. I often challenge myself with the hardest of the ways to sketch and draw. One such instance that comes in my mind is of my farewell ceremony which was celebrated at my school; I gifted portraits to my friends and teachers as a memento of the time spent together. I hope this skill of mine does help me in my future endeavors at my university and ever after.

Undergraduate / Do comment on relevance of topic; SHORT ANSWER ESSAY; temple in the courtyard [2]

Please tell us more about your cultural background and identity

The placid environment created by the Holy Bhagvat Geeta chants from the temple in the courtyard starts my day. I belong to a typical Hindu family. Our culture teaches us to respect elders, guide youngsters and be an ideal role model for the society. We are taught to be innovative, creative and risk taking, this forms the base of my learning. We are taught not only to excel ourselves in our task but also to support and promote others to achieve beyond their caliber. So, my cultural identity and background is foundation of what my character and morale stands on, today.

Undergraduate / 'I was dumped with suggestions and views' - significant challenge questions [3]

Tell us about the most significant challenge you've faced or something important that didn't go according to plan. How did you manage the situation?(*) (200-250 words)

As I enthusiastically started my eleventh standard, I was dumped with suggestions and views. There were people around me, family and relatives who tried to guide me their own way. They consisted mostly of, how my elder brother studied, how I am supposed to study, and so on...I was often notified and spoken of how my brother held books 24x7 and that I should too. I was often made realize how important was to get into IITs... but the question-was that, what I wanted to do? Was that the thing I was made for? The answer was NO!! The major problem of how the society tried to turn me into someone else continued for my major one and half -year, covering my eleventh and most of twelfth standard. During this span of my academic year my continuous effort to follow my elder's advice had made me pay a lot more than I dreamed of. I was broken by my performance compared to my performance in my tenth standard ( national topper ) , I was depressed !! and I was still naive, until my later twelfth standard. I realized this was not me, all my past two year I was being someone else! I pulled up all my strength and energy to gain back all I once had in my High School, I started to motivate me through any opportunity I could get and came up with much fairer result in my twelfth standard as compared to my eleventh standard. It was most significant challenge I ever faced. It was me fighting against me!!

I would like to ask few question to my readers ...
1) Does it interprets me in wrong way to adcoms of MIT
2) Can anyone help me reduce words it is 14 words more...
3) Please do comment on grammatical and spelling errors

Thank you all for your time....

Undergraduate / 'the daily time table' - 100 words: We know you lead a busy life, full of activities [4]

We know you lead a busy life, full of activities, many of which are required of you. Tell us about something you do for the pleasure of it.

Busy in my daily routine and following the daily time table i make for myself, I often find myself having pleasure sitting alone with puppies and ducks which i find around my home. It not only helps me relax my mind but also have a direct relationship with nature. I often feed them with bread crumbs, which i suppose is their favorite. This brings peace to my mind and helps me resume my work with much more enthusiasm and energy than before.
