" What It Feels to Be Second: A Margin That Meant Everything " By Sugyan Nanda Dreams don’t always die with a loud crash. Sometimes, they dissolve quietly—by 0.34 marks . At one point of my life, I have envisioned a moment. Standing tall at the convocation, wearing that medal of honour, hearing my name announced as the Gold Medalist in M.A. Political Science, and watching my parents’ eyes gleam with pride. It was more than just a medal. It was for every sacrifice, every late night, every rejection faced, and every time I told myself, “One day, this will be worth it.” But that day… didn’t come as I imagined. I missed it. By 0.34 marks. Being second is a strange place to be. You are celebrated, but not remembered. You are praised, but not rewarded. And what hurts more is not that I failed—I didn’t—but that I came so close to the dream I built for years, only to watch it slip through my fingers. This isn’t the first time. In matric, in +2, and now in postgraduation, I have seen ...

  A New Beginning at 22: My Promise to Change At the age of 22, I have come to a deep realization—I've made many mistakes in life. Some small, some big. Mistakes in different areas—studies, behavior, relationships, emotions, and decisions. And yes, they have hurt me. They made me feel ashamed, guilty, and sad. Sometimes I would sit alone and think, “Why did I do this? Why wasn’t I better?” That burden used to stay in my mind like a heavy weight. But today, I’ve had enough. I don't want to carry that weight anymore. I don't want to live in regret. The past has already happened, and I can’t change it. But what I can change is myself—my present and my future. From now on, I am promising myself something very serious: I will not repeat the same mistakes again. I will take every lesson from the past and use it to grow. I want to become the best version of myself—no matter how hard it gets, no matter how long it takes. I want to become a good human being, a responsible student, a...

 Overcoming Setbacks: A Lesson in Self-Reflection The recent semester has been a turning point in my life, marked by significant challenges that shook my confidence and tested my resolve. Reflecting on this period, I realize how certain habits and decisions led me to this point, but more importantly, I see the valuable lessons that emerged from the struggle. The Downfall 1. Taking Studies for Granted In the past, I excelled academically, and this consistent performance made me overconfident. I began to take my studies for granted, relying on past achievements instead of putting in the required effort now. As a result, my academic performance suffered, leaving me disappointed in myself. 2. Struggles in Personal Relationships Relationships, while important, became a source of tension for me. I found myself asking for more time from my partner, who wasn’t always able to provide it. This imbalance left me frustrated and distracted, affecting not just my emotional well-being but also my...

"Stop Expecting and Fall in Love with What's Happening " Are you constantly feeling let down by those around you? Do you find yourself disappointed when your loved ones don't meet your expectations? It's time to shift your mindset and start focusing on yourself instead of relying on others to fulfill your needs. Expectations can often lead to disappointment, especially when they are not met by the people closest to us. In this article, I will share my perspective on why it's important to stop expecting and start embracing what life throws your way. Expectations Lead to Disappointment When we place expectations on others, we are essentially setting ourselves up for disappointment. People are inherently flawed and are bound to let us down at some point. Whether it's your family, friends, or loved ones, expecting them to act a certain way or meet specific needs is setting yourself up for potential heartache. When those expectations are not met, it can lead to...

  The Art of Happiness: Why Giving is the Key to True Joy? In today's fast-paced and often self-centered world, it's easy to get caught up in our own desires and expectations. We often find ourselves seeking validation and fulfillment from external sources, whether it be through material possessions, relationships, or achievements. Lately, I've come to realize that true happiness lies in the act of giving without expecting anything in return. The Power of Selfless Giving When we give from a place of genuine kindness and generosity, we not only uplift others but also bring joy and fulfillment into our own lives. The act of giving allows us to connect with others on a deeper level and create meaningful relationships based on mutual respect and gratitude. Whether it's offering a helping hand to a friend in need, donating to a charitable cause, or simply spreading positivity through small acts of kindness, the act of giving can have a profound impact on both the giver and t...

 I Hate Myself: The Struggle of Self-Loathing In life, there are times when we find ourselves in a constant battle with our own thoughts and emotions. The feeling of self-hatred can be a crippling force that consumes our every waking moment. It can stem from past actions, present insecurities, or fears of the future. No matter the root cause, the end result is always the same – a deep sense of disgust and loathing towards oneself. The Act I Did, The Act I Am Doing Self-hatred often arises from a disconnect between our actions and our values. We may find ourselves engaging in behaviors that go against our moral compass, causing inner turmoil and self-reproach. The more we act in ways that contradict our beliefs, the more intense our feelings of self-hatred become. It becomes a vicious cycle of doing things we regret, which only serves to deepen our self-loathing. The Impact of Shyness, Insecurity, and Fear Shyness, insecurity, and fear can also play a significant role in fueling sel...
