Fusion Sports

Hybrid Sports  Combining different disciplines is the key to unlocking new levels of performance. - Laird Hamilton, big wave surfer and fitness enthusiast Fusion sports, also known as hybrid sports or cross-training, are becoming increasingly popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts. These types of sports combine two or more disciplines to create a new and unique activity that tests the body and mind in different ways. Some examples of fusion sports include yoga pilates, parkour gymnastics, and boxing-MMA. One of the main benefits of fusion sports is the diversity of movements and skills required. By incorporating different techniques and training modalities, athletes can improve their overall athleticism, strength, agility, and endurance. This can also prevent boredom and burnout that can occur from doing the same workout routine repeatedly. Another advantage of fusion sports is the mental challenge they provide. Combining different sports requires athletes to adapt to new s...

My Relationship With Animals

Image
  For us humans relationships with animals are complex and multifaceted. We are a part of this huge ecosystem and hence we feel an extremely strong connection to the natural world therefore we are capacitated to form bonds with animals just as strong as human bonds. I have never had an opportunity to have pets in my life, but i have always felt a strong affinity towards animals. Each animal that i have had around has taught me something very different about unconditional love and obedience or just simply caring cor another living being irrespective of reciprocation of any of it. They have taught me patience. These relationships can be incredibly rewarding, but they also require responsibility and care. An incident which was one of the most impactful experiences in my life that taught me about the deep rooted feelings that I have for the animals was my time at the gir safari. Seeing the majestic cheetahs, lions, bulls, rhinos in their natural habitats was extremely exhilarating. It ...

Most Difficult Decision

Image
  Undeniably, taking decisions is an integral part of everybody’s routine life. Right from minor to major, there are plenty of decisions that we have to take during our lifetime. Here, I would like to highlight a decision that didn’t come easy to me, but I still had to take it. And, it was regarding the study stream to choose after finishing my 10th standard. Due to family expectations and peer pressure, we neglect our likes and dislikes, and comfortably choose the wrong path.         I  exactly remember that time and how confused I was as my parents had given me complete freedom to choose whatever stream I wanted.    While they were still promoting the benefits of taking a non-medical stream, my inclination was more towards commerce. This, in turn, added more to my confusion. My parents had their own justifications as they were aware of the types of prospects and opportunities I could get by taking the non-medical stream. However, rather than opp...

Memories of Him

Image
  Do you have a friend who loved you? Who was not a part of your family but was a part of your family? Well, i did. His name was Rohan. He was very close friend of mine, rather bestfriend. He was very kind. He had hazel eyes and i loved him so much.         He invited me to go swimming every summer and we used to have a lot of fun. He couldn't swim most of the time as he remained sick.         Rohan always listened to me when i had a problem. He was always there  to help me whenever I needed him, be it academics or extras. We watched tons of movies together with a bowl of soup every time.          Last summer, it all changed. Rohan was diagnosed with cancer. It was a hilarious week for me to process it. Two weeks after being diagnosed with cancer, he died. My mom didn't let me attend his funeral.          My heart broke. Rohan was no longer with me. Now, it's been a year without...

  When opportunities come your way, you should always try to make the best of them! When I think about my regrets at night, I often think about all the missed opportunities I had but didn't take, all the ones I took but didn't make the best out of it. I now realize the sheer amount of things I have missed out on in life just because I was scared to do something new. I was afraid of going outside my comfort zone but in doing so I was restricting myself to this tiny box with high walls. It was comfortable but I knew somewhere in my heart that I wasn't going to grow if I kept myself confined like this. I had to take risks, had to find new things. It wasn't easy, pushing my boundaries for the first time. But when I went outside that box, it was so freeing. I had not realized how suffocating it actually was to live fearing doing things I didn't know about. I came to accept that I wouldn't be able to live my life fully if I kept on restricting myself and so I tried ne...

The Way Back

Image
  Have you ever tried traveling in the local train at the peak hours? If you have you will vividly remember the sites, the crowd but if you haven't let me paint you a picture. Imagine a woman sitting beside you talking on the phone, her mother is eagerly waiting for her with a plate of hot food as she gets back from work. Or the lady standing next to the doors, she has to change 3 trains before she can reach home or the lady who just got on, she's going home after working for 10 hours straight trying to prove her worth in a competitive industry. Each of these people seated in this train beside me have a story to tell, just like I do. Mine is simple, going home from college. A day filled with laughter and joy as I talk to my friends and do little studying in class. Not all people surrounding me have a happy story to tell, I don't either on some days. But still we all persist. We all go home and get up the next day to face a new day and live through what life offers. And some...

Sensitivity Towards Deaf People

Image
Sensitivity Towards Deaf People Deafness or partial deafness is often looked upon as a defect or impairment by society and people tend to pity deaf people and treat them very differently. We shouldn’t separate them from us as “impaired” or “normal” instead we should interact with them more and in this process, make them feel like a regular person. However, we should pay attention to some important points on how to be more sensitive towards deaf or partially deaf people so that we don’t offend them unintentionally.  1. Deaf or Partially Deaf people are generally speech impaired as they do not listen to the pronunciations while having conversations, thus it is important to be sensitive towards speech defects of any person who is deaf or partially deaf. 2. Deaf or Partially Deaf people tend to misinterpret the communication made to them as they resort to lip reading while trying to understand the other person's communication. Thus superiors or friends and relatives should be sensitive...
