From Shy to High Note: How "Antakshari" turned "ME" into an Insta-Star

UPDATE: A true story of a high school introvert girl who is facing issues like those explained in my blog, https://thinkrightsociety.blogspot.com/2023/10/why-is-nobody-talking-to-me.html, when she joined for class 11 in a new school in her own words.


When I started class 11 at a new school, I felt nervous because I didn't know anyone. As I am an introvert, I worried about fitting in. 

I often found it challenging to express myself or showcase my talents in a group setting. However, on our PTM day, we were having a free period; and my classmates decided to play "Antakshari" which proved to be a "game changer" with regards to my connections with them.

 

During the game, I sang a song for the first time before my classmates. They were pleasantly surprised by my singing abilities. They encouraged me to sing more, and I felt a newfound sense of confidence and joy in sharing my singing talent without any hesitation.

After this incident, one of my classmate, got curious to know about my future career goals which led to deeper conversations which otherwise is not possible; being an introvert, I find it difficult to open up before my peer group. Another friend, impressed by my singing talent, decided to follow me on Instagram.

What struck me the most was how showcasing my singing talent changed the dynamics of my connections.

I feel, as introverts, we often underestimate the impact we can have when we open up and share our skill sets with others. This experience taught me that in the most unexpected moments, we can find opportunities for self-expression, personal growth, and meaningful connections with those around us.

What do you think???

    Parents have to notice the interests of the children when they were young and help them to improve their skills. The parents will have to teach children to engage with guests and not to shy away. Children should be encouraged to showcase their skills whenever an opportunity comes. The fear of not performing well should be driven away. The importance of social connections should be taught. Parents have the responsibility to bring out changes in children who are introverts.

In fact, we want our wedding day look similar to a fairy tale wedding with prince-princess like feeling, a Royalty  touch, plenty of flowers, enchanted wedding themes, whimsical fairy lights, wood elements, and glass bulb decorations. Our imaginary fairy tale weeding theme As you all know, it is important for both the bride and groom to emotionally prepare for their BIG day because there is a feeling of unexplained butterflies in the stomach, nervousness, anxiety, and fear; so many feelings come together to make you feel a host of emotions.

His name is Alex. On one occasion, he had to give a speech in front of a large audience during a "Cultural Festival" event. Naturally, it made him nervous as speaking in public is scary especially if you are a quiet person. On sensing this, his teacher thought he would play a prank on him to make him comfortable to face the stage without fear. He told Alex that he would be presenting the speech to just one judge in a small room. But, when Alex opened the curtains assuming to enter a small room; to his big surprise, he got on to the stage and saw huge crowd of people. He immediately realized that his teacher fooled hi...
