With many states planning to start physical classes only for high school students, managements and teachers said that it is much more important to resume physical classes for primary students, as many of them unable to follow virtual classes.
They said that offline classes should be conducted at least two days a week for primary students. “Even as per ICMR, the impact of Covid-19 on children under the age group of 10 is much less when compared with elder children and adults. Why not start physical classes for them as well,” V Amarnath, director.
“These students are unable to concentrate, their confidence is low and communication skills have been impacted,” he said, adding that holistic development of a child has been impacted overall. Teachers said that physical classes should be resumed for all children in August within a gap of 10-15 days and all students should get to attend offline classes on alternate days.
“Now, almost all teachers are vaccinated. The same is the case with parents. So the risk of children spreading Covid seems to be comparatively lower. However, the state should provide sanitation, medical staff and allocate sufficient budget to follow Covid protocols in schools. By following all norms, physical classes should be started,” said M Ravinder, a government teacher, adding students are already facing memory and conceptual loss.
Parents agreed that it is a matter of urgency to resume physical classes, although they said that the same cannot be done in a haste.
The government should form a committee and study the impact of reopening of schools. They need to communicate with parents, explain what to expect and give an assurance about their children and family members’ safety.
An Epic is a long narrative in verse on a great and serious subject related in an elevated style. An epic tells a generally well-known story and is centered around a heroine or semi-divine figure whose actions depend on the faith or a tribe, a nation are a human race.
types of epics
Historically, there have been two types of epics the primitive a big for the epic of growth, and epic of art all literary epic.
The main traits of an epic are the following:
The subject matter of an epic is heroine ok or mythical kind full stop the hero is a figure of national or even cosmic importance as an Achilles in Homer’s Iliad, Aeneas in Virgil’s Aenid, Adam or Christ in Milton Paradise Lost and Rama in Ramayana.
The setting of an epic is vast and comprises several worlds. In Odyssey, the whole known word is the scene of action of Ulysses. In Virgil’s Aeneid and Dante’s Divine comedy, Earth, heaven, and hell are the scenes of action. In paradise lost also the scene of action has cosmic dimensions embracing Earth, heaven, and hell.
The action in an epic involves superhuman deeds such as the deeds of Achilles or the journey of Ulysses. Paradise Lost presents The War and heaven, Satan’s journey through chaos, and his audacious attempts to outwit God by corrupting mankind. The Ramayana presents several wars and the prolonged wanderings of the hero.
The action of an epic is often controlled by supernatural agents. Gods and Goddesses mingle with the humans and fight on both sides. In Homer, the Olympian gods participate in all activities and Paradise Lost devils, Angels, and God himself are involved.
The Epic contains several thrilling episodes like battles, duals, wanderings, ordeals, and the like.
In most Epics, there is a moral purpose. The hero represents a cause and the victory of good over evil is ensured. Sometimes characters themselves are personifications of good or evil.
In the narration of an epic, certain conventions are followed. It is narrated in an ornate, ceremonial, and grand style that is deliberately distanced from ordinary speech. Epic similes, figures of speech, classical allusions and references, and repetitions are used. The characters are given set speeches. The narration usually begins with an invocation to the muse or a guiding Spirit. Both ‘Aenid’ and Paradise Lost begin with such invocations. Usually, the narrative starts in the middle of the story as in Paradise Lost which begins with the fallen angels gathering their Forces for revenge. Only later does Milton tell tells us what happened before the Fall.
The Epic is usually divided into twelve books through Iliad and Odyssey have 24 books each. Spencer’s fairy Queen was planned in 12 book’s and Milton’s Paradise Lost also has 12 books.
Magazines and advertising have long been criticized for upholding dangerously unrealistic standards of success and beauty, but at least it’s acknowledged that they are idealized. The models wearing Size 0 clothing are just that: models. And even they are made-up, retouched, and photoshopped. These days, however, the impossible standards are set much closer to home, not by celebrities and models but by classmates and friends. With social media, teens can curate their lives, and the resulting feeds read like highlight reels, showing only the best and most enviable moments while concealing efforts, struggles, and the merely ordinary aspects of day-to-day life. And there’s evidence that those images are causing distress for many kids. Donna Wick, EdD, founder of Mind-to-Mind Parenting, says that for teenagers the combined weight of vulnerability, the need for validation, and a desire to compare themselves with peers forms what she describes as a “perfect storm of self-doubt.” She’s so thin. Her grades are perfect. What a happy couple. I’ll never be that cool, that skinny, that lucky, that successful.
Struggling to stay afloat
The fallout from these unrealistic standards becomes more dangerous once kids reach college, where they face higher stakes, harder work, and a largely parent-free environment. The pressure to look perfect to impress new peers, not to speak of friends and family back home, can be even greater.After a recent spate of college suicides, researchers at Stanford University coined the phrase “duck syndrome.” The term refers to the way a duck appears to glide effortlessly across a pond while below the surface its feet work frantically, invisibly struggling to stay afloat. Several students who have died had projected a perfect image on social media—their feeds packed with inspirational quotes and filtered images showing attractive, happy kids who seemed to excel with minimal effort. But behind the digital curtain they were struggling emotionally.
Hiding imperfection
For kids experiencing anxiety or depression, carefully edited feeds can act as a smoke screen, masking serious issues behind pretend perfection and making it harder for parents or friends to see that they need help. “It’s important to remember that just posting edited pictures online or pretending your life is a little more glamorous than it is is not in itself a problem,” says Jill Emanuele, PhD, a clinical psychologist at the Child Mind Institute. “Social media alone is unlikely to be at the heart of the issue, but it can make a difficult situation even harder.” Teens who have created idealized online personas may feel frustrated and depressed at the gap between who they pretend to be online and who they truly are. “If you practice being a false self eight hours a day, it gets harder to accept the less-than-perfect being you really are,” says Dr. Wick, “and as we all know there’s no harsher judge of a kid than herself.”
Other people’s perfection
Another, more prevalent problem, says Dr. Emanuele, is that for some teens their social feeds can become fuel for negative feelings they have about themselves. Kids struggling with self-doubt read into their friends’ images what they feel they are lacking. “Kids view social media through the lens of their own lives,” says Dr. Emanuele. “If they’re struggling to stay on top of things or suffering from low self-esteem, they’re more likely to interpret images of peers having fun as confirmation that they’re doing badly compared to their friends.”
Social media and teenagers: How to help
Take social media seriously. Don’t underestimate the role social media plays in the lives of teenagers, warns Dr. Wick. “The power of a visual image is so strong. It’s disorienting.” Many teens, she says, never knew a world where social media didn’t exist, and for them the things that happen online—slights, break-ups, likes, or negative comments—are very real. When you talk about social media make sure you’re really listening and be careful not to dismiss or minimize your teen’s experiences.
Encourage them to think outside the (crop) box. When you talk to your child about social media, encourage her to explore it in a more critical way. A great way to start is to try asking her what she thinks has been cropped or edited out of her friends’ “perfect” pictures and why. That can lead to larger questions. Do you think your friends are really the people they appear to be online? Are you? What’s the purpose of posting a photo? What is it about getting “likes” that feels good? Does looking at social media affect your mood?
Model a healthy response to failure. “Kids have to get the message that it is okay to fail,” says Dr. Wick. “And not only that it’s okay to fail, but that showing it is okay, too.” If parents hide their own failures, kids are less likely to be okay with anything less than success. “When things don’t work out as you’d planned or a project goes awry, show your child how to accept it with grace,” she adds. “Let kids know that failure is part of how we learn to succeed, that it’s nothing to be ashamed of and let them see you pick yourself up and try again.”
Praise (and show) effort. “Effort is something to be proud of,” says Dr. Wick. “It can’t be said enough.” Parents should let kids know that showing their work is something to be praised, not hidden. When your child has worked hard on something, praise her efforts no matter what the outcome. It’s also helpful to examine how comfortable you are showing your own efforts, especially those that don’t end in success. Being proud and open about your own work sets a powerful example for your child.
Go on a “social holiday.” If you’re worried that your child is getting too wrapped up in social media, try taking a social holiday. “This means everyone,” says Dr. Wick. If you’re asking your child to take a break, practice what you preach and pledge to stay off media as well. It can be every bit as hard for parents to unplug as kids.”
Trust people, not pictures. Finally, don’t rely on social media to let you know how your child is really doing. She may post smiling selfies all day long, but if she seems unhappy or sounds unhappy on the phone, don’t let it go. Make sure she knows it’s safe to talk to you by encouraging her to share her feelings and supporting her when she does. Reassure her that you’re not disappointed, and let her know you’re proud of her for reaching out. “I’m so glad you called. It sounds like you’re feeling really overwhelmed, I’m here and I love you. Let’s talk this through together.”

Modern life has become more chaotic and busy. This has led to the rise of yoga. Yoga provides many other mental and physical benefits. Some of these extend to the kitchen table.
There are many types of yoga, such as Hatha. It is a type of yoga that focuses on breathing exercises and a series of asanas. The goal is to get as much done as possible while not feeling overwhelmed. This practice is focused on cultivating a calm and accepting mind and body. This activity helps develop awareness of the body’s abilities. It’s not about physical appearance. Instead of mirrors, yoga studios use mirrors to help people focus their attention on the body instead of the people around them. This allows them to focus on their breathing and awareness instead of the image of their bodies.
According to the Harvard Medical School, focusing on the present moment can improve a person’s mental health. It can also help them manage stress and improve their physical well-being. Mindful eating is a nonjudgmental approach to addressing the physical and emotional aspects of eating.
They developed a questionnaire to measure mindful eating using these behaviors:
Eating even when full (disinhibition)
Being aware of how food looks, tastes and smells
Eating in response to environmental cues, such as the sight or smell of food
Eating when sad or stressed (emotional eating)
Eating when distracted by other things
People who practiced yoga were more likely to eat well according to their eating scores. The study also found that the amount of practice they performed was linked to the better eating habits. People who practice yoga and eat mindfully are more aware of their bodies’ natural cues when it comes to hunger. Those who practiced yoga for at least four years had a lower BMI than those who did not.
Although yoga is known to improve a person’s mental health, it can also improve their physical fitness. For the study, researchers focused on the effects of yoga on a group of individuals who were not yet active. After eight weeks, they experienced greater flexibility and muscle strength. Several studies have shown that yoga can lower blood pressure and improve heart health. It’s believed that this practice helps the body maintain its balance and senses the pressure in the body. A study found that regular yoga practice can improve the lipid profile of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. It can also lower blood sugar levels and improve overall health.
Before you start a new exercise program, be sure to check with your doctor.
Researchers are also studying if yoga can help people with depression and arthritis, and improve survival from cancer.

Mumbai is facing a shortage of water with a third of its residents not having drinking water as per a recent report. This comes in heels with the news of massive water-logging across the city and flood-like situations. This is reminiscent of the Chennai Water Crisis in 2019 when a flood had hit the city in 2018 and in May 2019, the city declared a zero-water day – no water left in any of its reservoirs. As per statistics, in the coastal city with a medium size river flowing right through it (the famed Anna University is actually partially built on lands claimed from the river), 60% of its population relies on bottled water for drinking all year long. Was this always the case? History suggests no. But it has been so for about a decade now. This is not very shocking given that Mawsynram, the place with the highest recorded average rainfall on the planet also faces water shortage during summers!!!
A lot of rain, and yet no water to drink
Yemen – the poorest of Arab nations and a region marred by civil war and international interference for more than a decade now might also have the root of its civil war as water shortage. Let us understand that the Yemeni factions are the Houthis, the republicans – with both basically supporting their tribal interests – and a swinging group of Saudi-led forces. Records suggest that there existed blood feud between villages just because a village constructed a well very close to that of the other village. As per data, Yemen has the least water availability per capita on the planet, even inviting statements like – if water were to get exhausted on Earth, this process would begin in Yemen. This is odd, given the fact that Dubai is a sprawling metropolis situated in the same Saudi desert.
Yemen is the most water depreciated nation on the planet.
The situation is actually grim in many more places – Northern India – a land abundant with rivers and lakes – most of them, technically all of them polluted beyond potability. Go to Africa and the nations with rainforests and rivers are dry.
What is the cause then? We often hear of climate change. A reader would agree about the reality of climate change but would certainly not let go of the sheer amount of mismanagement involved in the handling of water resources. Governments all over the world have tried in their own way to clean water bodies – the money ending up in their coffers owing to balant corruption. In India, for instance, the Save Ganges Movement or ‘Ganga bachao abhiyaan’ in the vernacular has been a project spanning over three decades and costing lakhs of crores – the best part – to no result. NGOs and villagers have often revived water bodies across the planet showing the importance of public participation in government or local initiatives. But, the people aren’t really very concerned about this issue it seems. It might find itself in discussions during summers or in newspapers – but people refuse to consider it as a problem as grim as climate change. No one can imagine the change Chennai saw with themselves.
Some 50 years ago, the British left the Palestinian territories in a bitter tussle between the Jewish and the Arabic groups. The Empire had similar history in the Indian subcontinent. The tensions were partly fueled at the end of the empire – in the Indian subcontinent, it was the promise of an Islamic nation to the Muslims of the Raj; in Palestinian Mandate region, it was the bias of British army against the Arabs and its inability to stop the Jewish immigration – and at the end, the Empire simply left the factions to fend for themselves.
Fast forward a couple of decades. Iraq was invaded by the US and between Iraq and Israel was the obvious tussle between USSR and USA – leading to the formation of many small and conflicting regions and factions supporting free market democracy or communism. The fall of the USSR left a vacuum China quickly filled up. However, the withdrawal of the US forces from Iraq did not result in the rise of a stable power, but rather it escalated tensions and led to the creation and establishment of the alleged ISIS caliphate.
In fact, even in Afghanistan, the chief cause of the crisis was the cold war that led to the Soviet Afghan war and an eventual push of the Mujahideen forces that ultimately became the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. The US invaded Afghanistan in 2001 and is now leaving the country without any conclusive results – paving way to yet another possible and quite imminent crisis.
The Kosovo crisis and the NATO invasion of Libya in 2011 also left the said regions with a still ongoing power struggle that has led to massive humanitarian crisis there. Libya allegedly has open markets for slave trading today. Not to forget that the infamous Boko Haram held large swaths of land during the time ISIS was at the pinnacle of its power.
These are not the only examples of power vacuums. But the ones that were created in the name of freedom, democracy and liberty – but led to crisis that no one talks of any more.
What do you think about the ways in which contemporary history has played out? Could there be better ways? Can there be steps that can still be taken for the better?
Modern history has been about the establishment of power vacuums resulting in some really dangerous results.
WAYS BY WHICH YOU CAN MAKE YOUR PC RELIABLE AND MULTI-FUNCTIONING ESPECIALLY YOUR LATEST VERSION OF WINDOWS 10
Laptops and computers are the favorable gadgets for remote places to work, entertain, play games and much more. Note a point that nearly 9 out of 10 people in every society and neighborhood own their piece of this tech all over the world. It helps you in many ways of business, entertainment, virtual meeting and much more utilities.
It can be a boon or bane depending on the purposes it is used and in this hectic world without a computer it is not an easy task to spend even a single minute as the life cycle has started running on this online and technology platform already. This may suit any professional or beginner working at home with your school or office projects.
As your every schedule is online from school till extra-curricular activities like dance, drawing etc. Imagine a situation in this pandemic without a PC on your own. You will have to hang out on mobiles but not all the work can be done simultaneously at once like a PC anyway. As it may lead to mental depression and frustration of delay in your task assigned that has to be completed beforehand.
Situations are similar like I’ve described above as at those occasions you have to wander for help to complete your work with someone else’s property.
It has become a necessity that as the system of life and roles of every position/job changes you have to cope up and adopt these items even if you are reluctant about it.
So, after working for long hours like humans, computers also slow down its speed of processing things. Generally in advance we encounter them often for our simultaneous tasks done at the same time. Hence there are some simple ways where you can make them active or energize them to regain their performance speed and generate outputs fer your inputs.
Let me list down some basic ways that help you out in opting/selecting a appropriate way to enhance your CPU or processor it its utmost fastness
Keep a track on upgrades for your PC for software or drivers
You might notice that your version of any feature/tool inside our gadget gets outdated often, so downloading recent releases of it helps it to run faster thus avoiding the arena of entering troubleshoots. Especially for Windows 10 you need to update versions here and there so it won’t disable automatically.
Just get the Start button on your left corner then choose the settings option available in the menu where you get a main page so there you can find Update & Security choice under that you can look out for your esteemed Windows updates where it automatically checks whether your PC needs to be updated or not.
If you are up to date leave it or install the categories you require by selecting them.
Use only the required ones and restart often
It is important that you refresh before you start working on it as it randomly speeds up by refreshing. Work only on the plugins that you need instead of starting every API in your computer that will make your system get hung or struck off. If you feel like your PC is not up to that efficient earlier restart several times until it gets back to the previous speed it was earlier.
Don’t let more files run in your background as it affects the functionality of the RAM and processor speed eventually. Still, you don’t find your issue solved, enter Troubleshoot settings under the type troubleshoot where the program diagnoses your troubles and receives your opinion to sort it out.
Optimize and enhance your space on disk
Hence if you don’t get resolved under the above criteria try to view the empty space on your computers, if is low free some spaces by uninstalling some contents that haven’t been used for years. Also optimize and clean your CPU or in-built CPU with some apps that totally stops its working. These temporary files are the prompt trouble makers so literally remove them totally by deleting or disabling them.
So, these are my own simple steps to make your personal PC or laptops run faster and flexible up to your requirement. These will really help you out as I have tried them multiple times under my supervision that give better results/ came out perfect.
If you know any way to customize so to reduce the load on your PC’s definitely you can. All these ways can also be used under the latest, advanced version (Windows 10) as it gave me a fruitful result again and again obviously.
The modern Olympic Games or Olympics are leading international sporting events featuring summer and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of competitions. The Olympic Games are considered the world’s foremost sports competition with more than 200 nations participating.The Olympic Games are normally held every four years, alternating between the Summer and Winter Olympics every two years in the four-year period.
Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894, leading to the first modern Games in Athens in 1896. The IOC is the governing body of the Olympic Movement with the Olympic Charter defining its structure and authority.
The evolution of the Olympic Movement during the 20th and 21st centuries has resulted in several changes to the Olympic Games. Some of these adjustments include the creation of the Winter Olympic Games for snow and ice sports, the Paralympic Games for athletes with disabilities, the Youth Olympic Games for athletes aged 14 to 18, the five Continental games (Pan American, African, Asian, European, and Pacific), and the World Games for sports that are not contested in the Olympic Games. The IOC also endorses the Deaflympics and the Special Olympics. The IOC has needed to adapt to a variety of economic, political, and technological advancements.
The Olympic Movement consists of international sports federations (IFs), National Olympic Committees (NOCs), and organising committees for each specific Olympic Games. As the decision-making body, the IOC is responsible for choosing the host city for each Games, and organises and funds the Games according to the Olympic Charter. The IOC also determines the Olympic programme, consisting of the sports to be contested at the Games. There are several Olympic rituals and symbols, such as the Olympic flag and torch, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies. Over 14,000 athletes competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics and 2018 Winter Olympics combined, in 35 different sports and over 400 events.The first, second, and third-place finishers in each event receive Olympic medals: gold, silver, and bronze, respectively.
The Games have grown so much that nearly every nation is now represented. This growth has created numerous challenges and controversies, including boycotts, doping, bribery, and a terrorist attack in 1972. Every two years the Olympics and its media exposure provide athletes with the chance to attain national and sometimes international fame. The Games also provide an opportunity for the host city and country to showcase themselves to the world.
The Olympic Games programme consists of 35 sports, 30 disciplines and 408 events. For example, wrestling is a Summer Olympic sport, comprising two disciplines: Greco-Roman and Freestyle. It is further broken down into fourteen events for men and four events for women, each representing a different weight class. The Summer Olympics programme includes 26 sports, while the Winter Olympics programme features 15 sports. Athletics, swimming, fencing, and artistic gymnastics are the only summer sports that have never been absent from the Olympic programme. Cross-country skiing, figure skating, ice hockey, Nordic combined, ski jumping, and speed skating have been featured at every Winter Olympics programme since its inception in 1924. Current Olympic sports, like badminton, basketball, and volleyball, first appeared on the programme as demonstration sports, and were later promoted to full Olympic sports. Some sports that were featured in earlier Games were later dropped from the programme.
Olympic sports are governed by international sports federations (IFs) recognised by the IOC as the global supervisors of those sports. There are 35 federations represented at the IOC.There are sports recognised by the IOC that are not included in the Olympic programme. These sports are not considered Olympic sports, but they can be promoted to this status during a programme revision that occurs in the first IOC session following a celebration of the Olympic Games.
Signs of true friendship are proverbial when two long-time friends meet for the first time in a long time, resume from where they left off, and easily reconnect with meaningful relationships. Randy Newman’s eternal “You`ve Got Friend Rice” echoes in the opening credits, despite some indifference that he felt when another piece of the “Toy Story” franchise was released. Cross. Some Aspects of “Toy Story” Eduun Intimate people will soon feel at home. “Toy Story 4” begins in heavy rain, turning time somewhere between the adventures of the second and third movies. Separated, but sets the tone of the intensity movie. Back to the present, we show Woody and the gangsters playing the role of children’s toys just beginning the first day of kindergarten in a new environment. Seeing her struggling to adjust to the surroundings, and while battling his own self-doubts, Woody provides the material for creating a story known as Bonnie and her own friend, Pokey. Of course, not everything goes as planned. Pocky faces an existential crisis and believes himself to be trash, despite the dark humor and, in some cases, lobbying for the trash. When the moment comes when Fore Key needs ups and downs, of course Woody comes up and makes Bonnie happy and is determined to keep his group intact. The engaging set pieces here are memorable new characters, fresh and fun added to the story with some hysterical moments, and most importantly, the uncertainty of whether or not it might feel worth it. originally needed. Anyone who hates creepy dolls will have to apply the same resistance to not only go to the cinema to escape the recent “children’s game” movie, but also watch this particular movie given the presence of perhaps four significant threatening ventriloquist dolls. Under Gyabi Gyabi’s care, they are disobedient dolls that do what she can to win the love and attention of the children who give birth to her. Although not as emotionally appealing as seeing ‘s beloved character treat his death at the end of the final movie, Toy Story 4 has come to a satisfying conclusion. It was actually revealed this time. If “Toy Story” comes back from the other side for 5 episodes, it’s probably because there’s a story to tell. And we now trust the filmmakers to pass it on. They haven’t disappointed us until now.
Today, CBSE, The central board of secondary education, has released the class 12th board exam results. According to the statistics available on the internet, we have achieved an overall pass percentage of 99.37 %. That’s an incredible high score, one we aren’t going to break for years, or dare I say, decades to come. And, so unlike many of your relatives or friends or neighbours or acquaintances, I won’t ask your result but I do offer my congratulations.
The CBSE did not conduct the exam this year. And so, though many of you might argue, and rightly so, this grading system wasn’t exactly fair- to those who worked hard throughout the year and didn’t get what they were capable of and to those who didn’t work at all but manage a very decent score, to those who had no access to digital media and to those who had every gadget at their disposal, to those who gave exams last year and to those who will give theirs next.
From the toppers to those who barely made it past the line, everyone do seem to have one thing one mind though. It could have been better. But now that it isn’t, I wish to ask what would have happened with that better result. For a day or two your parents would have been happy, treated you with gifts, but then the third day you would have done something to piss them off and things would have returned to normal. Your neighbours might have praised you in the beginning, but then hey would have found some other thing to bitch about you. Your friends would have been happy or jealous depending on what kind you have but then you would have went to separate colleges and those friends would have been long forgotten. In that new college, though, no one would have given a damn about your result. And this is how the desired ‘better’ result would have made no difference in your result, whatsoever.
Now, many of you might say that a better result means a better college, better career prospects. To all those I would say that it might give you a better kickstart but it certainly cannot dictate your future. Also, it isn’t the only way to kickstart your career . We are Gen-Z. We need not always need support. If you have talent, then I am sure by now you know that you can showcase it to a very large audience, a better one in many cases if you just go on the internet. From the top bollywood musicians to national as well as international public, your music travel oceans and producers. We have all heard ‘Anuv Jain’ or ‘When chai met toast’ or seen ‘Bhuvan Bam’, ‘Tanmay Bhatt’ or ‘Zakir Khan’. Love to cook? Ever heard of ‘Kavita’s Kitchen’. Love to dance? Go see ‘Naach’. We live in the era of talent. Talent and the courage to give it a go and to keep going is all you need. From google to amazon, the top recruiters visit your Github or codechef profile. Participating in international hackathons is just a click away. So, it isn’t as if just an exam hinders our career prospects.
And, at last, this exam was just that- an exam. If you disappointed yourself or your family or your teachers or anyone anywhere, do not worry my friend for you have lived atleast 16 years of your life and you have so many more to live. You have already disappointed them more times than you could count and you will disappoint them in the future, for I don’t know- a million more times, until that one day when you won’t.
Oh! and if you didn’t this time then kindly skip the first two lines of the previous paragraph and read again. It is an infinite loop, you end up disappointing someone with almost every activity (including yourself) until the day when you don’t and then you again do. And the loop repeats. So, why worry instead of preparing for the moment that is somewhere along the path you are currently traversing? That one moment of pride holds the burden of making up for all the disappointments you met along the way and holds the strength for all those you will meet in the future. So why not reduce the load?
