English Conversation-1: A Casual Talk
Khushboo: Hey Manoj! How’s it going?
Manoj: Hey Khushboo! I’m doing pretty good, just trying to survive the week. How about you?
Khushboo: I hear you! It’s been crazy busy on my end too. Work just never seems to slow down, right?
Manoj: Tell me about it! Sometimes I feel like I need a vacation from my vacation.
Khushboo: Haha, I totally get that! Speaking of vacations, have you made any plans for the upcoming holidays?
Manoj: Not yet, but I’m thinking of taking a trip somewhere. Maybe a beach getaway or a short hiking expedition. How about you?
Khushboo: That sounds awesome! I’m still undecided, but I’m leaning towards a relaxing beach vacation too. Need some sun and sand therapy, you know?
Manoj: Absolutely! Nothing beats lounging by the beach with a good book and some chilled drinks.
Khushboo: Totally agree! So, apart from work and vacation plans, what else is new in your life?
Manoj: Well, I’ve been trying to pick up a new hobby. I’ve been thinking of learning to play the guitar. How about you? Any new hobbies or interests?
Khushboo: That’s cool! I’ve been dabbling in painting recently. It’s so therapeutic and a great way to unwind after a hectic day.
Manoj: That’s awesome! Maybe you can teach me a thing or two about painting sometime.
Khushboo: Definitely! We should totally have a paint and jam session soon. Speaking of which, have you checked out any new restaurants or cafes lately?

Khushboo: Hey Manoj! How’s your week going?
Manoj: Hey Khushboo! It’s been quite busy, but I can’t complain. How about you? How’s everything on your end?
Khushboo: Oh, you know, same old hustle. Work, deadlines, and more work. But hey, that’s life, right?
Manoj: Totally get it. Sometimes I wonder if we’re just running on a never-ending treadmill!
Khushboo: Haha, exactly! So, anything exciting happening in your life lately?
Manoj: Well, I started taking yoga classes. It’s been refreshing and surprisingly challenging.
