Hello everyone, my name is Ravi and I'm a morning person.

What is this? Why are you writing this nonsense?
Because I feel like writing it.

I usually wake up at 3 am but sometimes I am lazy.
It is amazing when the entire world is sleeping and you are wake up.
As you know I live in a hostel/PG. Every girl is a night owl here. They almost wake up at 9 or sometimes even after 10 in the morning.
When I wake up in the morning they are about to sleep. So I wish them "Good morning Di/Didi" and they wish me "Good night". I am the youngest here and in India we do not call elder people by their name. If a girl is two to ten years old then you, you call her Di or Didi (means older sister) and if a guy is older then you call him Bhaiya (means older brother). Even if they are not blood-related.

But if you like any girl or boy romantically don't call him/her Bhaiya/Didi.

Same as other countries we call elder people Uncle and auntie and those who are very aged mean above sixty we call them as Dada(grandpa) or Dadi(grandma).

We are obsessed with using "Ji", which means we are giving respect.
Like Dadi Ji or Dada Ji, Uncle Ji or Didi Ji, etc.

Suppose you come to India and someone calls you with your name plus Ji means he/she is being polite and respecting you, like Eric Ji, Anne Ji.

I know it is difficult to understand but nothing can be done, this is how we are.

I think you all get it now why whenever I chat we anyone here on Wattpad, why do I ask for age first and if you are younger then it is okay but if you are elder than me, so I use terms like big sister or senior or maybe I skip taking the name.

I know it is awkward for many people but this is how I'm brought up, so sorry I can't help.
