"A Tough Decision: Giving Up on My Sports Dream" Hey friend, let me tell you about a time I had to give up on something I really loved. Back in high school, I was on the basketball team. I absolutely loved playing, practicing with my teammates, and the thrill of every game. But as time went on, things got tougher to manage. You see, I was also doing really well in my academics and had signed up for a bunch of extracurricular activities. Suddenly, my plate was too full—there were too many late-night study sessions and long practice hours. I felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and struggled to keep up with everything. I knew I had to make a choice. As much as I loved basketball, I decided to step away from the team so I could focus on my studies and other priorities. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made. My heart ached when I watched my friends play without me, and there were moments I second-guessed myself. But looking back now, I think it was the right decision. It allowed me to achieve some important goals, though it was tough to give up something that brought me so much joy. Life is full of difficult choices, but I think every decision helps us learn and grow. So, have you ever had to let go of something good? I'd love to hear your story too! |

| Our national emblem is taken from Ashoka’s pillar at Sarnath. It is found on all government documents, coins, currency notes, postcards, and envelopes. It consists of four lions standing back to back but, we can see only three lions at a time. There is a Dharma chakra in the centre of the base plate, with the figure of a bull in the right and that of a horse in the left. The entire structure is sitting on a lotus. The words ‘Sathyameva Jayate’ is written under it in Devanagari script. These words mean, ‘Truth alone Triumphs’. |
