One of the first things I learnt

             One of the first things  I learnt



Today's blog, I'm going to write about one of the first things I learnt.  All of us might remember the first thing we learnt and am sure it is something we can't forget.
Well, for me it was learning how to ride a bicycle. My mother  told me that I was quite fascinated by cycles and would always  sit on my tricycle  and keep  moving  in it all around  my house. By the time I turned 4 years, I was keen to learn to ride a bicycle. However,   my mother was reluctant to teach me at that age. I was upset and continued on my tricycle till I was ready to learn a bicycle.
Finally, the wait was over and when I turned five my father bought me a new bicycle. I always thought bicycle riding was very easy, I faced a lot of obstacles while learning to ride it.
The first hurdle was my height, being short my legs would not reach the peddle and I refused to get the height of the cycle adjusted.  Initial days of practice, I used to fall from the cycle due to this and finally I had to agree to get the height of the cycle adjusted. During practice, I fell many times, injured my knee, but I didn't give up and finally learnt to balance the cycle and ride it without falling.
I started enjoying cycling around in my society premises. After a year or so, my next challenge was to ride it on streets and how to stop at signals. One of my friend from the society motivated and encouraged me and we both started riding and going on smaller streets to gain confidence. I practiced going with my friend regularly and within few months I was confident to step out alone.
Then came a fear of what would I do if I get a flat tyre, what if the cycle chain come out? My father told me to overcome these fears by preparing for it mentally.  He told me to check out for the nearest cycle repair shop and take the cycle to the shop instead of getting frightened.
Today, I cycle a lot and thoroughly enjoy it. I have realised that we can face challenges and overcome fear by regular practice and by being alert. I am happy that I learnt it.
After cycling, I want to learn swimming. I just hope I'm able to learn it after the pandemic is over.

A SWEET DREAM Author : SHRIYANS SACHITH

  A SWEET DREAM Author : SHRIYANS SACHITH Aquaman was the movie playing when I guess I shut my eyes on a lazy sunday afternoon after a heavy meal. The mermaid was beautiful as it looked at me with its blue eyes. She had long blonde hair and a smile that made me blush. I was in deep sea surrounded by various aquatic animals, lush topographand clear water. She held out her hand and said I should take it if I wanted a tour of the underwater world. I grabbed at her hand and almost fumbled with it. She laughed at my awkwardness and I smiled back with a foolish look. 'Come' she said' and led me into an astonishing world. The air bubbles floated around me as I breathed out deep. As we sped along, I noticed various fishes of all shapes and sizes. Each of them gawked at me with bewilderment while I waved at them. The ocean-bed was laced with shells, oysters, precious stones that glittered and pebbles embedded in the white sand. Everything seemed so fresh and un-polluted and pristine
