Activity:10
Freshers

PREPARATION AND OBJECTIVE

My objective was to take part in every possible opportunity available in our Institution. So that I can gain
more confidence and achievements by taking part in all the activities. I was not ready for these stages as
we received information about all the tasks on that day only.

MY EXPERIENCE

Our event was divided into three stages. Our first stage was about Introductions in which we had to give
our intro. In front of all the students and faculty members on stage, I was a little nervous at the beginning,
so I was constantly trying to be calm.

The second stage was the talent hunt, in which we had to perform/showcase our talent. I was very
confused between poetry and singing. I love singing and writing both; however, I was not very confident
about doing it on stage. Therefore, I picked singing as my talent to showcase.

In the final stage, our task was to give a speech on any random on-the-spot topics given to us by the
organizers . It was the toughest out of all the three stages. I gave my best in all these stages and in
return, judges declared me as Ms.Freshers of that day.

WHAT I LEARNT

Performing on stage was one of those skills in which I was not confident enough; yet, I took part in this
event to get rid of my stage fear. I was fighting against myself and all those fears within me.

In the end, I was happy about my performance, results, and for conquering my stage fear.

Activity:11
Dussehra

PREPARATION AND OBJECTIVE

Out of all the activities available in this event, I picked anchoring and dancing, for which I prepared well. I
took every rehearsal practice seriously and practiced a lot for on-stage speech and anchoring.

My objective was to polish my presentation skills and be more confident while performing on the stage.

MY EXPERIENCE

From my previous experiences of events in this Institution, I was highly motivated; Though I was not sure
about anchoring.

It was my first time being on stage as an anchor. I was happy and nervous at the same time. The event
was very hectic for me cause I was preparing for two things, for dancing and as well as for anchoring.All
those dance practices were very tiring, but it was fun.

Our dance form was based on Navratri and Garba/dandiya styles. I enjoyed all those rehearsals, staying
late on the campus with friends, and all those praises I received after the final performance.

11
In anchoring, my co-anchor and I messed up a little bit, but in the end, everything was fine and
manageable.

WHAT I LEARNT

Through this event, I learned that it's not who you are that holds you back it's who you think you're not.

All those fears and nervousness, I faced since my childhood from being on stage were gone, and after this
event, I was so happy and full of confidence.

Activity:12
Cultural Event

PREPARATION AND OBJECTIVE

This event was one of the biggest events of our Institution in which Director Sir of SCERT was the chief
guest; therefore, I wanted to take part in this event, to show how amazing our Institute is by performing
with my fellow batch mates.

For the preparations, I took part in 2 different dance forms and,I practiced a lot for both.

MY EXPERIENCE

The two dance forms for which I opted were Gujarati and Punjabi. From my experience in the Dusshera
event, I was sure about one thing, that I can dance with confidence, but the thing I was not aware of is
how tiring this whole rehearsal is going to be?

Gujarati dance form was still manageable, but The Punjab dance "giddha" requires a lot of energy and
movement, and I was not aware of how exhausting this whole rehearsal is going to be?

12
Before the final performance, my legs were in pain but I wanted to give my best shot; therefore, I tried my
level best to focus only on my performance and not on the pain in my legs.

WHAT I LEARNT

After facing all the pain in my legs because of ulcers and exhausting rehearsal; In the end, all those
appraisals and cheering made me realize that sometimes it's better not to give up on a few things.
