Fighting Smart, Win BIg

 From Peasant to Powerhouse: 

Your Journey to Victory

Are You Ready to Level Up?


Life is a lot like one huge video game, isn't it? You've got levels to conquer and bosses to kill, with epic rewards looking to be unlocked. But unlike your favorite video game, this one's real—and the stakes are high.


Imagine this: You are a warrior, and you are about to conquer the world. Instead of a shiny sword and a suit of armor, you are equipped with a wooden stick in your hand and a T-shirt on your body. How confident would you feel in fighting a dragon? Not so much, right?


That is basically how one feels while battling life with ill-equipped tools. You might be very brave, but at the same time, it is also about how smart you are.


How does one progress from peasant armed with a pitchfork to knight in shining armor? 

Well, that would be the armor-building part. You know what?

 Your armor is not made of metal but something even stronger: knowledge, skills, and money.


Knowledge is Power: School's like your training ground. It's where you go to learn how to use your brain, solve problems, and think creatively. The more you learn, the sharper your mind becomes.

Skills Are Your Weapons: Every skill you pick up is another weapon added to your arsenal. Whether it's playing some sport, building something, or learning to code, these skills make you stronger.

Money is Your Shield: Not all is money, but it sure does help. It's like a shield that protects you from life's unexpected hits. It gives you the options and the freedom.


Small Steps, Big Wins

Building armor takes time. You don't wake up a knight. It is the little steps taken each day.

Set Goals: Decide where you want to go. What do you want to achieve? Perhaps you want to become a great athlete, a brilliant scientist, or a famous artist. It doesn't matter; just dream big!

Create a Plan: How are you going to get there? Break down your big goal into little steps. It is as if you are planning to play an extremely high level of your favorite video game.

Never Give Up: There are going to be hurdles. You are going to sometimes fail. That is okay! Everyone does. Just learn from your mistakes and keep moving.


Team Up

Remember, you do not have to do this alone. Make sure you surround yourself with people who believe in you and cheer you on. Family, friends, even some teachers are allies.


Take Care of Yourself

A sound body is a sound mind. Eat healthy, sleep well, exercise regularly, and enjoy life.


Your Turn

So what do you have to lose?

 Begin building your armor. 

What is that first step? Are you going to ace that math test, practice soccer every day, or start saving money?

Remember, every small step makes you closer to the amazing person you're meant to be.

Bengaluru Blues

Image
  The horns continued to honk, a dull hum beneath the cacophony of squealing brakes and incessant "beep beep" of auto-rickshaws. Rajesh reclined against the worn seat of his auto, the sun beating hot upon the thin plastic canopy. His leg pained, a throbbing ache that refused to abate. It had been broken in a hit-and-run at the Silk Board junction, and it was healing slowly, too slowly. He observed the crowded Hosur Road in Bengaluru. Buses emitted black smoke, inching through traffic like giant, lumbering brutes. Motorcycles, with two or three riders, sped by, their horns contributing to the cacophony. Peddlers wandered between the stationary cars, hollering, "Sir, Madam, idli, dosa!" above the din. It was a chaos of frustration, a cacophony of impatience, and Rajesh, trapped there as a witness, had a bitter taste in his mouth. He was once a programmer, a coder. He had ambitions of having his own company, of creating the next hot app. He even had a notion, something...

The Cubbon Tale- Short Story

Image
  The sun let loose its warming rays over the lush decor of Cubbon Park. Tall boughs of a majestic Banyan had reached out on the ground forming an umbrella as tentacles offered a canopy sheltering families spreading out their baskets to have a picnic there. Cheers and laughter among the children playing badminton and football fill up the ambient peace. A little girl, Sonia, was playing with a shuttlecock. She let it fall beside a tree trunk and then ran after it, ponytail bouncing with every step. When she picked up the shuttlecock, she heard strange moaning sounds behind the tree. Her curiosity got the better of her, and she peeped behind the tree. What she saw wrinkled her forehead in worry. A couple, young one, embracing each other passionately, locked mouths, hands exploring each other's bodies. The girl figured they might need help, thinking the moaning was painful. She hastened back to her mother and pulled at her hand. "Mommy, Mommy! Those people need help!". Her m...

The Cubbon Tale - Ashwin Alex (Short Story) Reflection

A Tale of Generations  The short story, "Cubbon Tales - Look Closer," reads like a seemingly simple tale about a child's curiosity and a mother's dilemma to explain something that is essentially a complex social norm. Yet, beneath all this lies an intense commentary on the changing values of generations and the friction caused when old meets new.  The Clash of Cultures: The story is based on the act of public kissing, which is considered inappropriate by the older generation but harmless by the younger generation. Sonia is the protagonist who seems to be confused regarding her mother's reaction to the couple's show of affection. She portrays innocent curiosity that reflects a generation less held in shackles of tradition and more open to expressing emotions freely. The story reveals how the emphasis of the older generation on social norms is against the desire for self-expression and authenticity by the younger generation.   The Power of Observation and Ques...
