I have not won a lot of academy prizes. However, I have a hobby of solving puzzles like Sudoku and Crossword. About two months ago, I saw a caption contest in the Sunday Tribune. They had given a photo and he asked about suggesting a suitable title for this photo. There are three prizes. The first prize was Rs. 300, the second prize was Rs. 250, the third prize was Rs. 200. On it was the photo of a girl travelling on a truck covered from head to toe with claws. Nothing except her eyes were visible. I randomly started thinking about the caption and after 10 minutes I came up with the title of a travelling incarnate. At the moment I did not think about submitting it for the competition. However, my parents really liked the caption and he asked me to submit it. The next day I submitted it to the post office and submitted it with the caption and the newspaper clip. This was my address. The result was to be declared in the next Sunday Tribune. But we had to go somewhere. So I could not check it and gradually I even forgot about it. About a month later I got an email. When I opened the email I was very happy to see that in the email there was a note on congratulating me for securing the second prize. The second prize was in the competition. I did not think about it but my parents were also really proud of me. It was the first time I won something solely due to my efforts.

I have not won a lot of academic prizes. However, I have a hobby of solving puzzles like Sudoku and crossword puzzles. About two months ago, I saw a caption contest in the Sunday Tribune. They had given a photo and asked for suggestions for a suitable title for this photo. There were three prizes: the first prize was Rs. 300, the second prize was Rs. 250, and the third prize was Rs. 200. The photo featured a girl traveling on a truck, covered from head to toe with cloth. Nothing except her eyes was visible. I randomly started thinking about the caption, and after 10 minutes, I came up with the title 'A Traveling Incarnate.' At that moment, I did not think about submitting it for the competition. However, my parents really liked the caption and encouraged me to submit it. The next day, I submitted it to the post office along with the caption and the newspaper clip. This was my address. The results were to be declared in the next Sunday Tribune. But we had to go somewhere, so I could not check it, and gradually I even forgot about it. About a month later, I got an email. When I opened the email, I was very happy to see that it contained a note congratulating me for securing the second prize. I did not think about it, but my parents were also really proud of me. It was the first time I won something solely due to my efforts.
