(Encourage the students to use their creativity and formulate their own answers.)
Answer:
My name is Kabir. I am nine years old, and live in New Delhi with my parents. I love drawing and painting. I want to become an artist when I grow up. I am very obersvant about colours, patterns, and designs. My parents say that I have a photographic memory because I often create mental images to remember things. I am fond of watching old photographs that are black and white. My parents have many of those.
I can spend hours looking at them. They fascinate me to no end. I often wonder about how to make things even more beautiful than they already are. My elder brother, Ashwin, says that I look at the world differently. I am not sure what he means by that. In my free time, you will often find me solving puzzles, sketching or ‘fixing’ objects. I am really keen to grow up and become an artist.
