Setting:
During my last few years at High School around 2009 to 2013

Watching my favourite Hindi Episodes telecast on world famous channel StarPlus and
observing people around me and trying to imitate.
Attitudes
I have always dream big of becoming a successful and a famous Architect around the
world that is people get to know me and my family through my works. The hindi TV shows
telecast that I used to watch and still watching on the world famous ‘StarPlus’ Channel. Most of
the TV Shows that I watched was that of fictitious famous businessmen, their family, the
mansions, cars, wealth, and their social status and so on. I kept on observing the acting attitude
of the actors in their particular scenes and how they react to a certain situation depending on the

3. circumstances. Thus I used to use the same tactics, same solutions, imitate their facial
expression whenever such circumstances or situations land up into my life. I used to imitate
their sense of wearing clothes. Those Hindi Tv Shows are here to mislead people, mostly the
children. But to me, sometimes it comes as a solution to my daily life problems. Sometimes it
was used for good reasons and sometimes it was also used for bad reasons. My main purpose of
watching these films was to imitate them in their sense of wearing clothes that is to look very
smart in a suit or always in formal clothes and shoes and also to know how to be able to keep
my head high in the society as well as both my family and social status. This is called
Observational Learning and part of it is Assessing Attitudes that is observing their (actors)
attitudes and inculcates the same in my life.
