    In whispers and hushed tones, let tales unfold,
    Of a presence that brightens, a spirit untold.
    She, strict yet caring, a paradox rare,
    Leaves an indelible mark, a presence to bear.

    Gossip, oh let it dance in the air,
    About the woman who can the mountains dare.
    Anger, a tempest, yet she tames the might,
    With a smile so cheerful, calming the storm’s spite.

    In the tapestry of words, let them weave,
    Her essence, a tale that hearts may believe.
    A light in the day, her aura so bright,
    A symphony of strength and kindness, a rare delight.

    Through corridors of gossip, let them roam,
    Of her grace that turns every house into a home.
    With whispers that echo, in admiration they sway,
    For the woman whose presence lights up the day.

    Every living being undergoes first-time experiences, ranging from birth and the journey into maturity to eventual demise. Life unfolds through a series of inaugural moments, shaping our perceptions and understanding.

    The first time, for me, isn’t always pleasant; at times, it’s embarrassingly uncomfortable, prompting a desire to escape and hide from the world. However, some initial experiences are profoundly touching, etching themselves into my memory like a photo stored not only in the gallery but also in the cloud.

    Despite the varying nature of these experiences, they collectively contribute to our growth and evolution, propelling us to become better versions of ourselves. It’s crucial to recognize that the fear of new experiences can hinder our personal development and prosperity. Embracing the unfamiliar is a catalyst for learning and self-improvement.

    Moreover, it’s essential to discern when to face challenges head-on and when to exercise caution. Making informed choices requires the wisdom gained from lessons learned during our initial experiences. These lessons equip us with the knowledge needed to navigate life’s complexities and make sound decisions.

  • How I overcome Stage Fright and Empower Others

    Performing on stage is a diverse art form that encompasses various subjects. Most individuals are not inherently born as stage performers, yet some possess an inborn genius that allows them to effortlessly command the stage. While many people may shy away from the stage for any purpose, even if given the chance to do so, others excel in different artistic fields such as singing, acting, speaking, dancing, and more.

    As for myself, I am not a singer, dancer, or orator with the eloquence of figures like Shashi Tharoor or Michelle Obama, nor can I sing like Taylor Swift. I am an ordinary individual who becomes flustered and blushes whenever I step onto the stage. Despite my perceived limitations, I have participated in numerous performances on both big and small stages.

    My first experience on stage was in 1st standard when my mom urged me to recite a memory verse during the school assembly. I vividly recall feeling completely flustered and forgetting the lines I had learned. However, under the stern gaze of my mom, I managed to remember the verse, delivering it at lightning speed due to nervousness. Although no one could comprehend what I recited, I was excused that day as it marked my initial foray into stage performance.

    Since then, I have engaged in choir singing, delivered speeches, oriented people, provided training, and now I serve as a trainer guiding others in communication. The journey to reach this point was not easy, but I am committed to becoming a better version of myself each day. I am confident that, If given the opportunity and proper guidance, we can all excel in different fields, even those we never dreamed of.

  • Aptitude test?

    I am serious this time. I’ve noticed that my brain doesn’t function well during aptitude tests. Whenever I attempt one, I struggle to finish it with proper concentration or the will to think through the answers.

    I am confident that this is the result of excessive exposure to social media. Lately, I’ve been so attached to it that sometimes I can’t even stay away for a minute. Now, I lack the confidence to tackle aptitude tests, and it’s bothering me.

    I’m concerned about what might happen going forward. Do others face similar circumstances? In my case, it’s affecting my aptitude, but for others, it could be different experiences. We find ourselves in situations where it seems we lose control of our lives, and instead, life starts controlling us. This is a serious matter that I need to address and take immediate action on. I hope such situations don’t occur for anyone else.
