Translate into Telugu: Now that I have a new job, my daily routine has changed. I used to sleep until noon, have a long lunch and then walk slowly to the supermarket where I worked. Nowadays, I wake up at six in the morning, have a quick breakfast and then go to the swimming pool for an hour. My priority is to maintain good health. I believe that in order to achieve this, regular exercise is essential. After my swim, I cycle to my office, where I work as an assistant manager of a big company. My main role is to attend to customer complaints. My manager, who trained me for this job, reminds me of my mother. She is calm and kind and I try to be like her with our clients. They can be quite demanding sometimes, finding faults with everything. Whether a complaint is genuine or totally baseless, it is important that I reply politely. In the evening, on my journey home, I feel physically and mentally exhausted. When I get home, I listen to some classical music and meditate for half an hour. This always helps me to relax and I know that I will wake up refreshed in the morning. [40]
