In my life, I have met many people who have left a strong impression on me, but today I would like to talk about my school friend Rahul. I have known him since childhood, as we studied in the same school. He is a smart, kind, and down-to-earth person. We always used to do group projects and activities together during school days.

Recently, I visited his house after a long time because now we live in different cities. When I reached his home, he felt over the moon and welcomed me warmly. We spent a lot of quality time together, talked about our school memories, and did fun activities. It reminded me of the strong bond we had built over the years, which still feels the same.

What impressed me the most was his cooking. He had prepared several delicious dishes just for me, even though he had a busy schedule. I remember he was always good at cooking during our home science practicals, but this time, his dishes looked absolutely mouth-watering. His dedication to making everything perfect really touched my heart.

Although my visit was short, it was a wonderful experience. I realized that Rahul has excellent culinary skills, and he is  passionate about cooking. That’s why I want to work with him in the future. I have a dream to open a restaurant, and I think he would be the perfect partner. He is not only talented but also very cooperative and patient, which are important qualities for running a business.

All in all, Rahul is the person I want to work with in the future. I believe working together will not only be enjoyable but will also help us grow personally and professionally. I am confident that our strong friendship will help us achieve great success together.
