Breaking out of the Cocoon – TAPMI
As once said by Bernice Johnson Reagon, “Life’s Challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they are supposed to help you discover who you are.”

Fitting In...
Most of the students at my school came from affluent modern families. I could never seem to fit in, the culture and values taught at home were always at conflict with what I learnt at school. During the lunch break students would take out their lunch boxes filled with an assortment of food items, someone would get rolls, someone else would get sandwiches, someone would get noodles and I was stuck with roti and sabji, my mother would time and again tell me that the food that my friends brought, lacked nutritious value, but a 7 year old would never hear a word of that. To make me feel at power with my friends my mother came up with an idea. She would stuff the sabji in the roti, making the whole thing into a roll, and then would wrap it in an aluminum foil. Her simple strategy made me feel comfortable and appreciative about the lunch she would give me and that helped me fit in.

They say that time that goes by never comes back but when we knock on the doors of our memories we are welcomed with some of the most beautiful moments hidden somewhere back of our minds. Starting of the day with a reveille in our homes “Get up you are running late”to “Are you eating properly now that you are living far away from us”, we all have come to terms that parents are the only one that looks out for us no matter where we are or what we do. Looking at the old photographs through our mobile phones we remember the vacations we had with our friends, joke about how we used to dress up and used to live life in a carefree way. But if we look more closely there are other things that facilitate those memories. Things in whose absence maybe those memories won’t be the way they are right now. I still remember my mother used to prepare my lunch box every morning when I was in middle school and being a picky eater I would never settle for the plain old flatbread so to make me eat proper meals there was an unspoken deal in between us where she would make special dishes every alternate day so that I won’t through a tantrum over the regular food. Till date, I remember opening up the foil and waiting to see what surprise was there in the lunch box. Maybe it was a regular thing in every household but for me, that tin foil brought a whole new level of excitement because it was indicating that something good is yet to come. On my tenth birthday my grandparents specially came from Kanpur to greet me and it was in five years that I was seeing them for the first time and was super elated to see have them there and planned the whole day ahead of us and at the end when we were cutting the cake they brought out a Pantaloon bag with a dress inside it which turned out to be my first birthday present ever.

When an ‘Idea’ changed my life-TAPMI
I come from Yamunanagar district of Haryana, a state which is known for its excellence in various sports like Kho Kho, Judo, Kabaddi, Boxing and Wrestling. But the sport which I was particularly interested in was Basketball. A fast-paced game that requires the knowledge and instinct to perform quickly and properly.
