Conversation About Daily Routines

Cast:

Host 1 (Bholu): Friendly, organized, practical thinker.
Host 2 (Golu): Easy-going, sometimes lazy, often funny.
Host 3 (Molu): Curious, thoughtful, enjoys learning from others.

Bholu:

(cheerful tone) Hello everyone, and welcome back to EnglishMyFriend, the blog where we take simple, everyday topics and turn them into fun conversations. I’m Bholu.

Golu:

(yawns jokingly) And I’m Golu. Sorry, I just woke up—perfect timing since we’re talking about daily routines today.

Molu:

(laughs) That’s true, Golu. Hi, I’m Molu, and honestly, I’m curious to see if our routines are as “normal” as we think. Spoiler: I doubt it!

Bholu:

Well, today’s episode is all about Daily Routines & Household Chores—something we all do but rarely talk about. So, let’s dive in.

Morning Routines

Bholu:

Let’s start with mornings. How do you both begin your day?

Golu:

Oh, easy. Alarm rings… I hit snooze. Alarm rings again… I hit snooze again. Repeat three times. (laughs)

Molu:

(smiling) Classic. So what time do you actually get out of bed?

Golu:

Honestly? Around 8:30… sometimes 9. Then I rush everything—brushing, shower, coffee. It’s like a speed challenge.

Bholu:

(teasing) That explains why you look half-asleep on our morning calls.

Golu:

Guilty!

Molu:

My mornings are different. I like to wake up early, maybe 6:30. I start with a glass of water, some stretching, and then I make my bed.

Bholu:

Oh wow, very disciplined.

Golu:

Wait, you actually make your bed every morning? Why? You’re just going to mess it up again at night!

Molu:

(laughs) True, but it gives me a sense of order. Like, one small win to start the day.

Bholu:

I agree with Molu. I also make my bed every morning. It’s a habit my mom taught me—she used to say, “If your bed is neat, your mind feels neat too.”

Golu:

Okay okay, maybe I’ll try it tomorrow. But no promises.

Breakfast Habits

Bholu:

Now, let’s talk about breakfast. The most important meal of the day, right?

Golu:

Unless you skip it… like me.

Molu:

You skip breakfast?

Golu:

Yeah, usually just coffee. If I’m really hungry, maybe a slice of toast.

Bholu:

That’s so unhealthy, Golu! I can’t function without breakfast. For me, it’s usually oatmeal with fruits, or sometimes an omelette.

Molu:

Golue here. I like simple stuff—bread, butter, and tea. But on weekends, I treat myself to parathas or pancakes.

Golu:

Mmm, pancakes sound good. Maybe I should start inviting myself to your house, Molu.

Bholu:

(laughs) Or you could just learn to cook something simple.

Golu:

Cooking? For breakfast? That sounds like work.

Molu:

(teasing) You’ll see, later in this episode, cooking is work.

Work or Study Routines

Bholu:

After breakfast, it’s time for work or study. How do you guys handle that?

Molu:

I like to plan my tasks the night before. So in the morning, I just open my to-do list and start.

Bholu:

Golu. I’m a planner. I like writing things down in a notebook.

Golu:

And me? I just… wing it. No plan. I open my laptop, check emails, and then somehow get through the day.

Bholu:

(shaking head) You’re the “last-minute hero,” aren’t you?

Golu:

Exactly! It’s a talent. (laughs)

Molu:

But doesn’t that stress you out?

Golu:

Oh, it does. But then I promise myself, “Tomorrow I’ll plan.” Tomorrow never comes.

Bholu:

(smiling) Classic Golu.

Household Chores

Molu:

Okay, let’s move on to the fun part—household chores.

Golu:

Fun? Did you just say “fun” and “chores” in the Golue sentence?

Bholu:

(laughs) Well, chores may not be fun, but they’re necessary. Let’s start with cleaning. Who does what at home?

Golu:

Honestly, I avoid it as much as possible. My room is… let’s just say “creatively messy.”

Bholu:

Oh no. So who cleans it?

Golu:

Sometimes me, sometimes… okay, fine, it’s mostly me when I can’t find things anymore.

Molu:

I actually don’t mind cleaning. It’s like therapy for me. Sweeping, dusting, even doing dishes—it clears my mind.

Golu:

(surprised) Really? You should come to my place then!

Bholu:

(laughs) Molu, you’re welcome at my place too. I love cooking, but cleaning after cooking… ugh.

Molu:

Fair deal. I’ll clean if you both cook.

Golu:

(excited) Done! I’ll just sit and eat.

Bholu:

No way, Golu. You have to contribute. Which chore do you hate the most?

Golu:

Folding laundry. It feels never-ending. And socks! Where do they even disappear?

Molu:

(laughs) That’s a mystery of the universe.

Cooking at Home

Bholu:

Cooking is an important chore. Do you both cook regularly?

Golu:

Uhh… define “cook.” If boiling instant noodles counts, then yes, I’m a chef.

Molu:

(laughs) That doesn’t count, Golu.

Bholu:

I enjoy cooking. It’s creative. You can experiment with flavors. For example, yesterday I tried pasta with Indian spices—it turned out amazing.

Golu:

I wish I had that patience. For me, the problem is the time. Cooking feels slow, and I get hungry fast.

Molu:

I like cooking sometimes, especially on weekends. It feels relaxing. But on busy weekdays, I prefer quick recipes.

Bholu:

That’s smart. So maybe we all agree—cooking is fun if you have time.

Golu:

Or if someone else cooks for you. (laughs)

Sharing Chores with Family or Roommates

Molu:

Here’s a big question: should chores be shared equally in a family or among roommates?

Bholu:

Definitely yes. Everyone lives in the house, so everyone should help.

Golu:

True, but sometimes one person is better at a task. Like, if I’m terrible at ironing clothes, shouldn’t someone else just do it?

Bholu:

That’s fine, but you should still do something else in return. It’s about balance.

Molu:

I agree. In my house, we divide chores. For example, I usually wash dishes, my sister vacuums, and my mom cooks. It keeps things fair.

Golu:

Makes sense. I think the problem is when one person ends up doing everything. That’s not fair.

Bholu:

Exactly. Teamwork makes the house work.

Evening Routines

Molu:

Let’s talk about evenings. What do your routines look like?

Bholu:

For me, evenings are about winding down. I like to read a book or go for a walk.

Golu:

I usually watch Netflix… sometimes too much. One episode becomes three, then five.

Molu:

(laughs) That happens to me too. But I try to balance—maybe some TV, some light exercise, and then preparing things for the next day.

Bholu:

Do you guys eat dinner early or late?

Golu:

Late. Very late.

Molu:

I prefer earlier, around 7:30 or 8.

Bholu:

Golue. Eating too late makes it harder to sleep.

Weekend Chores & Free Time

Molu:

Weekends are interesting. Do you guys use weekends for chores or just relaxing?

Golu:

Honestly, I push all my chores to the weekend. Laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping—it’s like “Chore Day.”

Bholu:

That sounds exhausting. I prefer spreading them out during the week so weekends are free.

Molu:

I mix both. Saturday morning is for chores, Saturday evening for fun. Sunday is my “lazy day.”

Golu:

Lazy day—I like that!

Closing Thoughts

Bholu:

So, we’ve covered mornings, breakfasts, work, chores, cooking, and even weekends.

Molu:

And we learned that Golu doesn’t like folding laundry… or cooking… or cleaning. (laughs)

Golu:

Hey, I’m learning! Maybe after this, I’ll start making my bed.

Bholu:

That’s a good first step.

Molu:

I think the key takeaway is that routines and chores are part of life. They may feel boring, but they keep us healthy, organized, and balanced.

Golu:

True. And sometimes, adding humor to chores makes them less painful.

Bholu:

Well said. Alright, that’s all for today’s episode of EnglishMyFriend.

Molu:

Thanks for listening, everyone.

Golu:

And remember—fold your laundry before it becomes Mount Everest. (all laugh)

All Together:

Bye!
