I'm imagining I have a Korean friend about my age, and we're both married, he has a child, and my wife is currently pregnant. In this situation, other than the usual "hi" and "hello" exchanges between us, He tells me how life changes after the baby arrives, how you suddenly start feeling grown up and responsible, and how a wide range of emotions suddenly surge just after delivery, from profound love and joy to anxiety, fear, strong connection, overwhelm of new responsibilities, the disruption to your routine, and shifts in your identity and priorities. But apart from all this, the joy of becoming a father will make you feel proud, as if you have achieved something very big in life. My imaginary friend would probably tell me that life will definitely change and that mix of emotions might feel a little tough in the beginning, but believe me, it will be the beginning of a different and better phase of your life because becoming a father is like receiving a gift of love and happiness that lasts forever!

I imagine my Korean friend and I both love delicious food. The only difference is that I'm a vegetarian, and he eats almost anything. Lol! He'll obviously brag about his favourite food in front of me, and I'll tell him how delicious vegetarian food is, and I'll win on this topic, because he eats vegetarian and non-vegetarian food anyway. So, whenever he visits India, I'll treat him to a variety of dishes, like Dosa, Pani Puri, Samosa, Chole Bhature, Raj Kachori, Palak Paneer Naan, Gulab Jamun, Raj Bhog, etc., along with the local liquors like Gulabo, Mahua, Chang, and Fenni. Impressed by all this, he'll probably treat me to the best vegetarian Korean dishes on my trip to Korea. My favourites include Vegan Kimchi, Dumplings with Mushrooms, Spicy Cucumber Salad, Tofu Bibimbap, Kongnamul Japchae, Mushroom Hotpot, and SOJU.
I would like to show my Korean friend our cultural weddings. Indian culture's weddings are vibrant like a big festival, multi-day celebrations involving elaborate rituals, traditional garments like the lehenga or gold-toned silk, music, dance, and a variety of food. Key events include pre-wedding ceremonies such as Roka, Sagaai, Haldi, Mehndi, and Sangeet, followed by the main wedding day with rituals like the Baraat procession, exchanging garlands, the Mandap ceremony, the sacred Phere (seven steps around a fire), and ending with a reception. The experience is a festive union of two families and a sacred, spiritual bond, with regional and community variations adding to the rich tapestry of traditions. Also, I would like to attend a Korean traditional wedding because I have seen many such weddings in Korean dramas, although they do not look that colourful and vibrant, but it is exciting to see two people getting tied in a bond of love. I also love cultural festivals, so I'd obviously invite her to important festivals like Holi and Diwali, and I'd also like to attend Korean festivals. While I haven't heard of any Korean festivals yet, I'm sure they exist and are celebrated with great enthusiasm there, too.
