The Mr. DAV competition!
Looking at the participants, it’s clear that this competition isn’t only about good looks and dressing sense. It’s also about how well you can showcase your talent.
Well, for these talented folks who can sing, dance, or at least know what their talents are, all they had to do was prepare their performance.
And we had, what, fourteen days? But for me... the first seven days I spent searching for a talent—Googling things like ‘hidden talents I might have’—and the next seven days trying to prepare it.
Guess what? I did discover my talent in those 14 days – ‘PROCRASTINATION’.
"Now, confidence is a funny thing. Some people are born with it, some people develop it, and some—like me—just fake it so well that even my parents think I have a future!"
"And let’s be honest - confidence works differently in different situations. When you're answering a viva, confidence means speaking like you actually know things. But during an exam, confidence means writing 'According to me...' and praying that teacher agrees.
Let me give you a real example—“Sachin, are you here? There he is! Now, I don’t know how many of you remember, but I do—during his nomination speech for the headboy.He said, ‘There was no one behind my success, only confidence.’ And that is actually quite true. Sachin didn’t become thehead boy because of everyone. He became the headboy because of all the confidence he had.Though, let’s be honest, a few might have sincerely helped him too!”
"Sachin did get lucky and successful thanks to his confidence, but I’m not sure how far mine will take me. I mean, confidence got me on this stage, but can it get me through 12thgrade maths? Probably not!"
"But I’m not too concerned either, to be honest. My 12 years in DAV have finally come down to this one final day, and the one thing I really wanted to do was to bring a smile to your faces.”
Thank you!
