Writing Stuff of Abhisek Nayak

If you are a spider-man movie fan, then you must have heard this dialogue, “with great power, comes great responsibility”. I just want to add something to this dialogue, “With great responsibility, come greater distractions”. Yes, you heard right, distraction is a thing, which no one would not have faced. Distractions While Exams(especially during board exams) Now, it is the time of board exams, who would be better than the students to ask about the distractions at this time. Most of the students read the textbook with the distraction of reading the text messages on the phone. What is the reason for this distraction? It’s because today’s students are habituated with chatting through phones. Is it really a distraction for the students. I think students don’t take this as a distraction but their parents do. At first, I said, “with great responsibility, come greater distractions”. In this case, parents see the board exams as a responsibility, and the other things studen...

There was a match of a tournament going on somewhere. It was an Inter School Cricket tournament. The batsman batting at that time was being easy on the bowlers. He was playing grounded and defensive shots as he was taking his time adjusting himself well for playing big shots later. That time, one of the teachers of some school said to another teacher, “Why is he in the team? He has not even hit a sixer till now from the morning. He is doing nothing but boring everyone.” In reply to this, the other teacher said, “why do you think so? Be positive. He is just taking his time. He is getting ready for a bigger inning. They are young children. Let’s motivate them. Winning is not everything, the improvement and development of the students are more important . So, just keep calm and relax.” Observation of the Scenario In this scenario, we can observe two kinds of people and they are the two mentioned teachers. The first teacher seemed both demotivating and impatient but the oth...

Advik had reached his home from the school at around 3:00 PM like every day. His mom then served lunch for him on the dining table. After freshening up, Advik had his lunch and went to take a nap in his room. Then, the clock in his room was showing 3:32 PM.   After about 2 hours and 30 minutes, Advik’s mom began trying to wake him up for his coaching classes , which resulted in Advik changing his sleeping positions and not trying to wake up. But, when his mom aggressively shook him up, he had to wake up.   Then, he got ready for his coaching classes, put the required books and notebooks in his bag, and went for his coaching center by riding on his bicycle. He had classes from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM that day in the coaching center. His friend Lokesh with his (Lokesh’s) bicycle joined him on his way.  After reaching the coaching center, he parked his bicycle where he usually parks and locked the bicycle, Lokesh also did the same. He then entered the classroom with Lo...

What does ‘Me Time’ mean to me? ‘Me Time’ means a lot to me. It makes me enter a zone where I can keep account of my good works & mistakes of my past and the stuff which I have to do which I feel would be good for me. The good works whether small or big make me motivated especially in the times when I don’t feel so good about myself. The mistakes make me check on the stuff in which I have to learn from or improve in. After thinking about these past stuff, I plan things for moving ahead in my ways and do a little Pranayama and exercises. I do these things because I think they are going to be beneficial to me. ‘Me Time’ is very important to me We go through many situations in our life. We get many thoughts in our mind. We meet different people with different mindsets whether they are our relatives, friends or any stranger. Apart from these, we also have certain duties and goals in our life which sometimes get away from our sight because of the above-mentioned ...

In test cricket, a batsman’s most prior motive is to stay at the crease as much as he can, score as many runs as possible during his stay. As we all know that it is not mandatory for a test batsman to score runs in a particular number of overs. So, it becomes very important in test cricket to wait for the playable deliveries from the bowler for scoring runs and defending or leaving the unplayable deliveries. If any batsman goes for the unplayable delivery for scoring, then he has a great chance of being dismissed and troubling his team. Can life be looked upon as test cricket? I always feel that our life is also like test cricket where we are like the batsmen in the game. We face many opportunities, challenges, and problems in our life. The opportunities, challenges, and problems act like balls bowled to us in our lives. In my opinion, we should try to score fours and sixes on opportunities, that is, making most of them, take runs between the wickets on the challenges or you ...

The following story is narrated by a random person who was waiting for his bus at the bus-stop like everyday: I was st anding at the bus-stop waiting for my bus that day . It was 9:34 AM and the weather was very pleasant but my mind was not at much peace. The other people present at the bus-stop were not in a good mood after the loss of Team India in the semi-final the previous day. I had the same kind of mood that day. Every body was discussing the lost game there, but I was not doing the same as I was trying to move on from the game and the sadness it had caused me, but the people around me were not letting me to do the same by discussing it.   After some time, a guy came on his bike and dropped a senior citizen (who was sitting behind him on the bike), at the bus-stop. He (the senior citizen) was holding a newspaper in his hand. Very soon, he started reading the newspaper. He was not talking about the game with anyone, he was just reading the newspaper.

When you have a work in hand, always start from the basics. Complete the basic, smaller and easier parts of the work, first. If you do so, then you feel fresher, positive and confident to do the rest  of the work. Practically, you can examine that  the people who work out the basic, easier and smaller parts initially, complete the work more successfully than the ones who do not do the same. So, start from the basics and start easy.

Ramesh was coming out of an office. His friend Paresh was waiting for him outside the office. Paresh (to Ramesh, seeing Ramesh coming out of the office building): So, what did they say? Did they say yes? Ramesh (being normal, he was not excited): Yes, they said yes. Paresh (doubting any problem): So, what happened? Did you say no to any of their things? Ramesh (again, being normal): No, there is no problem. The deal has been finalized, they have approved my idea and all the required documents have been signed. Paresh (being very happy and excited): Wow, that’s great news. How can you be so normal while sharing this with me? Ramesh: It’s not that I am not happy about it but don’t feel like celebrating it. Actually, I had not expected my idea to be approved. Paresh: Are you serious? You were working so hard with this idea of yours and now you are saying that you had not expected your idea to be approved. Why? Ramesh: I always had belief on my idea but...

We should choose something which  we have an interest in, which would make us happy after its completion. When you choose something you love or feel good about it, then, the whole process becomes a lot easier and less stressful. If you are forced to do a work which you have no interest in, then, it is going to be a loss to you and the one who is forcing you to do the same. When you go through a difficult phase in your work(in which, you don’t have any interest), you get a hard time dealing with it plus you don’t like the work, this makes it very complicated & you may feel depressed which would add up to the pressure. In the other hand, if you face problems in the work you love, then, first of all, the problem does not seem like a problem, it becomes a challenge and a challenge can be completed if the work is done very cautiously which you can do very easily, since, you are fond of the work. Through challenges, you get to learn so many things, which make you grow a...

I am habituated with waking up early in the morning Since my childhood, I am habituated with waking up early in the morning. As a child, I was used to be woken up by my mother early in the morning as I had to reach the school before 7:25 AM then as per the rules. So, I got this habit of waking up early, from my mother. Using the Alarm Clock When I had reached the 6 th grade, I did not need my mother to wake me up but I used an alarm clock instead of doing the same. As the time was passing, I was getting used to waking up near the alarm-clock time. I was so getting used to it that I started waking up on holidays as well but without the alarm clock. In the present time, I don’t need an alarm clock to wake up early in the morning, and I leave my bed before the Sunrise. I only use the alarm clock if I have any important works to do that day or if the day itself is an important one. There are some days on which I had woken up after the Sun had risen up. The reason for t...
