The first time I scored in a basketball game was a life changing event for me. I was about to quit because I didn’t think I would ever be good. My dad‚ he was my coach‚ told me not to because he saw potential in me. The first year I played basketball‚ I didn’t score‚ so I wanted to quit. "Don’t quit playing"‚ my dad told me‚ "you can be a great player if you work hard." The first time I scored made me want to play more. It was my second season and I was the happiest kid in the world. My dad was in

through a telescope for the first time in my life. It was a small device‚ no more than two metres long‚ and yet it let me glimpse a brilliant view of Jupiter: it was the size of a marble‚ magnificently striated in hues of brown‚ red and orange. Then‚ when I was 13‚ I went to the Birla Planetarium in Hyderabad‚ where I revisited my five-year old fascination with Jupiter as I sat spellbound in the arena as a cosmic dance played out in the canvas stretched above my head: stars flew around‚ tumbling

to this post‚ you are probably ready for some solutions. The internet is brimming with advice on what to do and not do. I know when my daughter was first diagnosed with ADHD‚ I was completely overwhelmed. Here I was with this diagnosis but no one bothered to give me an instruction manual. All I was told is that she would do better if I medicated her and sent on my way. I wasn’t given a list of things to try‚ people to contact for advice‚ or even much moral support. It was all up to me to figure

In my experiences that followed this particular adventure‚ I found that not everything is the same as you see it. I was young‚ six and a half years old‚ and back then‚ I thought I was so grown up. Its funny how the older we get‚ the younger we feel we are. But I think six is a pretty reasonable age to enjoy an adventure like this one. Buying a dinghy doesnt seem like the most exciting thing in the world but back then it was‚ when I would imagine myself as a pirate sailing off and discovering treasures

But‚ before we pick up from where I’m getting viciously chased down by the Temporal Police and their AI companions while I’m bolting out of the 97’ Soul Train Music Awards (STMA’s) after party‚ we have to start from the beginning.
