"Aadii, uth jao betaa it's 7 'o'clock. Jaldii utho warna late ho jayegaa!!" Mumma yelled at me and the sun rays literally fell perpendicular on my face.
"Argh why is the window right next to my bed? Why God why?"
( "Get up Aadya, it's 7 o'clock, you might get late!" )
I woke up cursing the window as usual but who knew that window was the one who brought me beams of positivity after every dark night. I went to the bathroom and took a wash. Today is gonna be the first day of my football coaching. Wow.. Excited but nervous at the same time. This unexplainable feelings is experienced by almost everyone when we start something new. The warm shower gave me the boost I needed the most at that moment and I then dressed myself not before the skincare dude.

I wore the casual jersey which I had and paired it up with shorts. I didn't have my own football jersey yet so until I get it tailored for me, I'll have to wear casual jerseys only. I got all the stuffs done like getting the water bottle, quick snack and all.

(This was my outfit)

And I left with Dad as he was gonna drop me on the way to office

And I left with Dad as he was gonna drop me on the way to office.

"Bappa ke aashirvaad liye?" He asked out of nowhere and I answered "haan papa but still I'm a bit nervous" On which he said " Humaara mantra yaad hai na?" And upon hearing this, we both chanted together.. "I can do it! I'm unstoppable!". This was the one of the things he had taught me since childhood that whenever I feel nervous, I've to say this mantra and the nervousness actually seems to disappear.
(" Did you seek blessings from the Lord?")
("Yeah dad but still I'm a bit nervous")
("You remember our mantra right?")

The car stopped and he said " We're here champ. " I got out of the LALA land of my thoughts and he was there with his arms opened just to give me a hug and cheer me in his most appealing way. I gave him a 'bone-cracking' hug and got out of the car.

While I was just turning back and giving the last wave to dad and ouch-

"Ohh, I'm sorry-" I crashed on one of the girls over there. She seems sweet hmm. "It's fine, even I'm sorry. By the way, Raahii" And she put forward her hand for the handshake thing. Okay so I've started making friends as soon as I entered. "Good job Aadya" I said to myself and introduced myself to her.. "Aadya.. Nice to meet you buddy" I replied. "Tum nayii ho na?" She asked to which I said "haan". " To chalo phirr, naye logon ko milne ke liye taiiyaar?" And I excitedly agreed.
("You're new here right?")
("Yes")
("Let's go then! Ready to meet new people?")
