Why I should be your next Personal Trainer!

Before I promote myself on why I should be your next personal trainer, let me ask you a question through this blog of mine, why do you need to be fit? The answers can vary from having a mental peace to impressing girls. Everyone will have their own reason. According to recent study done by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that running for 15 minutes a day or walking for an hour reduces the risk of major depression by 26%. Well, another big reason on why you should be fit as it cures depression. (Lawrence Robinson, et. al 2023) Now fitness can be measured in several ways that don’t involve gym. For example move in around your home, do not be a couch potato, get active with the family, monitor closely on what you are eating. (Lawrence Robinson, et. al 2023) This above scholarly extract proves a point here that you need to have a positive approach to remain fit and that is what I am trying to convey through this video of mine. https://youtu.be/5wmXhOBCqO4

There are two things that I wanted to say from this clip above, first I can help one achieve their goals how different they maybe, (cutting down the weight/fat % or gaining weight and muscles) and secondly, the targeting audience which are the students community. There’s also a reason behind why I chose the students community than any other group of individuals because when I started working out I was a student too and I know the hardships and difficulties that hinder around at that point of time. For instance, budget was always an issue, scarcity of resources when it came to certain foods, supplements were something I could never afford. So, eliminating all these factors I developed myself as a person who could still be fit, fit enough to play a sport and do modelling professionally which honestly, I never thought I will achieve but I did because of a positive mindset and a will to never give up, no matter what.

Strategies in planning and executing this task was quite an exhilarating one as you were the actor, director, editor and screenwriter all at the same time. But when it comes to carry forward a certain task, I am very old school, I don’t panic for starters. I plan out what am I going to say, what should be the sequence of activities. So, I wrote all that and tried to execute the same and make it a little creative by adding the feedbacks in the above video that I have listed in p1. I used a tripod to make the videos in all the different locations. I had a thought in my mind to execute some clips in the gym which will make it more authentic but then looking at the public and the noise in the gym, I had to cancel that thought. So, I chose all the outdoor locations in bright sunny daylight. I wanted to follow a certain sequence as mentioned, where I am performing a skill (summersault) and then following up with a brief introduction. Then adding up with my recent client’s feedback and then focusing on the title of this blog. For editing, I used CapCut and Canvas applications as my two-editing software.

There were couple of lessons that I ensured to execute in my presentation which were the eye contact with the camera while speaking, ensuring who is my target audience, the motive of personal branding, conveying my message. And with the help of the lessons included in the unit ‘Social Media and Collaboration’ I was able to focus on the above mentioned aspects. But it was not always a smooth sailing, I did face few challenges when it came to editing the video, there were certain elements in which I wanted to edit it but I was not very familiar with the above two applications mentioned, so I took the help of YouTube and learnt the tricks and applied the same in my presentation.

In contemplation of the discussion which started with, why you should hire me as your next personal trainer! I reckon I have made quite valid points and here’s a short-summarized version of the same.
1. I know my target audience well because that is the age where you can save yourselves from making some bad and risky decisions in the field of fitness
2. I provide budget friendly meal ideas, so anyone can stay fit and healthy
3. I am a keen learner, do not give up easily. Talking from my own experience and effort that I took on making the video.
4. I’ve a creative mind and I follow a systematic approach in performing a task and I take things seriously.
5. I value my client’s goals and their feedback.

I hope after reading this blog post and watching the video of my personal branding I was able to convince few audiences why hiring me as your personal trainer won’t be a bad option.

Social media and sport/wellness

  1. Analytically Criticize social media

‘Social media” refers to a broad range of online activities and venues where individuals can interact and exchange knowledge, concepts, thoughts, images, and videos. All the things in the world have few pros and cons attached to it. While there is a lot to offer with the inception of social media there are few areas where it lacks.

 (Viktoriya Sus, MA, 2023)

The Goods:

(Kaya and Bicen 2016) reported that if it is properly managed, social media can become a great source for students to achieve better grades. In the twenty-first century, online professionalism is also a priority for teachers who use Facebook. With mindfulness of its side effects, if properly managed, social media may boost students’ academic success and teachers’ professionalism. Accordingly, students and other stakeholders may benefit from social media for better results.

The Bads:

According to (Patton et al. 2016) Excessive social media use has a number of negative consequences and uncertainties, including peer humiliation, cyberbullying, depression, loneliness, and academic volatility. According to several research, social media has a considerable negative impact on students’ educational, emotional, and psychological well-being, particularly among teenagers.

 When the benefits of social media are weighed against the risks, some experts suggest that the drawbacks outweigh the benefits. These risk behaviors can be categorized into three categories: personal, academic, and emotional. (Ahn 2011)

2. How social media has provided benefits to the health and well-being industry?

Health providers can utilize social media to tell patients about the findings of their examinations, encourage medication adherence, obtain patient feedback about their health services, and collect information from patients after discharge to inform future practices. Encouragement of social media interactions between health practitioners and patients may promote both patients’ well-being and patient-physician relationships. Furthermore, social media can be utilized to deliver medical services such as appointments, medical inquiries, personal information management, and medical charge payment, which can improve patient experiences and increase access to medical treatment. (Shen L, 2021)

Social media can be used by health professionals and researchers for professional development purposes such as learning, cooperation, and career promotion. Social media can be used to collaborate on research projects and practices, access, and share trending research findings and medical knowledge, broaden their exposure to funders and publishers, conduct a job search, remotely follow medical conferences, market their team and services, and discuss interesting or difficult cases with colleagues. (Loeb S, 2020)

3. How does social media focus ideally on tools and technology?

(Kyiv, Ukraine, 2019)

  1. User-Friendly Interfaces:  Social media platforms prioritize user-friendly interfaces that facilitate the creation and sharing of content. They use technology to create user-friendly layouts, navigation, and functionality that encourage user interaction.
  • Mobile Accessibility: The majority of social media platforms are optimized for mobile devices, employing mobile technology to ensure that users can smoothly access and interact with the platforms from their smartphones and tablets.
  • Integration of Multimedia Tools and Technologies: Social media platforms have incorporated a variety of multimedia tools and technologies to allow users to post images, videos, and other rich media material.
  • Algorithms and artificial intelligence: Algorithms and artificial intelligence play an important role in social media by tailoring content feeds and making suggestions to users. To deliver appropriate content, these systems assess user behavior, preferences, and engagement patterns.

My esteemed guest, Mr. Scott Field shared his insights and views on social media and sport/wellness. He is an expert in the sports field for more than 3 decades. He is a professor at Deakin University, Melbourne and also works with MCC at Melbourne Cricket Ground.

INSPIRATION : Take It In Man…

  • When You Walk Up To Opportunities Door – Don’t knock in…
    Kick that Bitch in Smile and Introduce Yourself.
  • Nothing can be much sexier than wearing your best smile and posing the best stance you got
  • Attitude is the First and the Last Thing that should be taken care off.
    Now It’s one’s perception how you take it.
  • A man’s character is not judged after he celebrates his victory
    But what he does when he backs against the wall
    So no matter how great the setback
    how Severe are the Failures
    you NEVER GIVE UP.
  •  Be Strong when you are weak..
    Be Brave when you are scared..
    and Be humble when you are Victorious..!
  •  I might be gone for a while But no one can replace the place that belongs to the Champ !!
  •  The loneliest people are the kindest. The Saddest People Smile the Brightest. The Prettiest Eyes Cannot be seen.
  •  The best part of the GYM is it helps you in knowing what you were in the past, what you are in the present and what you will be in Future.
  •  I might not give my 100% every time but when my mind finally decides to do something :: There is no one better than ME !!
  •  People Often say to me You Are Different.
    Yes ! I agree !
    Because when it comes to showing results : I am Different.
  • I should be loved for who am I than to be hated for what I’m not.

 

 

 

Chapter-8 Change Of Mind !

Chapter 8

Change Of Mind

Arjun decided to cut himself off from the social world and concentrate more on himself, he actually started taking his life seriously.

He thought that he has already wasted nearly one and a half years of the college life, which is considered to be the best time of one’s life, he thought not to waste the remaining two years of college.

Arjun enrolled himself to serious gym sessions, earlier he used to go to gym just to rejuvenate himself, to click pictures and to socialize the stuff. But now he started serious body building and he started taking of his diet too.

He focused most on himself than on others and started loving himself, girls no girls, friends no friends, he gave a dam to it.

The college session somehow used to pass away, but obviously a strive for having a social life do used to strike him and to remove that he himself all alone used to go to any food outlet on any special day, order something have it and come back to the normal day to day routine. He took his life to that level where others do used to feel how someone can live such pathetic life and he all every time used to say “I am born to live with this life” and he always used to end up with such pessimistic answers.

More people came in his P.G and he without thinking for second how they are and how they might be in future, gave a nice little hand to a friendship.

The friendship was there but did he really treat him like a friend or more than that ?

For him friendship was indeed a small thing as his personality and charisma did used to attract the audience and he was indeed fast in friendship. He used to think that he is one such guy in the world who can talk to any sort of person, person with any sort of age bracket and for not even once did he realize that people treated him exactly what he used to portray himself in front of the world ?

And when he started expecting something or the other from his so called friends, when he actually got attached with the group assuming that the other guys are just like him or pretending to be like, he always end up with betrayal.

He on his side was not at all evil, although what mistakes he often commit was trusting the every supposedly good face folks and ending up that supposedly good face folks into a criminal minded bunch of losers and since he used to be on the verge of an end of a friendship knowing that he actually lost everything, Arjun always ended up with some small cheap tricks which later costed him immensely.
One day he decided to resume the same thing which he left years before, Writing !

He decided to write one such beautiful, inspiring, entertaining story that every age group appreciates the work.

Whenever he got time from his busy schedule he used to utilize that point of time with his dream story and project and finally he thought to write a novel and spend all time on it. He started neglecting his college and the work, and used to focus most and most on gym and then his novel.

Days passed by, interaction with the new people happened and hardly went on for two to three months, Aaliya was luckily one such girl from the college who was from the beginning till now as a friend, Arjun found her to be the one because no girl used to stick in his life for too long, if some did which happened very rare.

It was October 2014 when Arjun started feeling something for the girl he admired Aaliya.

He tried many times to stop feeling about her, but whenever he thought to stop, instead of stopping it used to run further and the slight feel used to take one step closer and closer and closer.

Arjun again struck himself in that busy routine hoping to achieve some little greatness.

Months passed by with such type of boring rigid life.Morning Cardio then College then Gym then some food and then back to sleep. One day he was so depressed by the norms and regulations fixed by the college that he literally got fainted in the college. After he was checked by the doctors, he was having zero glucose and water level in his body and his Blood Pressure was high too. At this point of time when no one was there with him either from the family or from the college, only one person supported and really looked after him and he was Abhay. A guy from his college only, who became more like a brother to him. When no one was there Arjun could really find a ray of hope from Abhay, Abhay and Arjun’s friendship was like Bread and Butter, you can’t relish the bread unless you have applied butter.

Arjun was hospitalized under serious condition and it took him nearly nine days to get discharged.

Arjun after a point of time was so fed up from his life, he decided to enroll himself in the glamour world.Modelling world.

He somehow made some contacts and he took participation in Mr/Ms Noida.The competition was a very lengthy process and Arjun had a long way to go, determination was there in him but he could not capitalize it at the right time.

Now Arjun has ventured in many different fields of life and he really did not know what is best for him ! Will he try achieving his dreams or he will try completing the novel he has been thinking for quite a period of time and in future make this as his profession or will he be successful Model or he will try living that same prescribed life with rigidity.

Who know’s what is written in his future and what he will be in another ten years !!

Chapter-7 Chick Magnet Arjun !

CHICK MAGNET ARJUN

Arjun thought to spend most of the time with Hita as he enjoyed her company and her attention too.

Arjun and Hita spent maximum time together in the college on phone and even after college and obviously when someone starts spending time with one person ,its obvious one starts feeling attracted towards that particular person.

Arjun knew what all his past has been whenever a girl came in his life. Arjun made up his mind Hita will not be a part of that category. He spent as much time as he could with her and both were pretty good friends. In College the rumors started spreading Arjun is again dating a girl and that too Hita, once again he became a hot topic.

Arjun tried to overcome his false image because of some unlikely spread rumors but he could not because it was a situation like One against All.

Arjun thought one day sitting on the roof of his hostel “ I think I am over thinking about Hita obviously its just been three weeks that I know her and I am already thinking of another relationship knowing that 5 months before I suffered a disgusted and derogatory relationship. No I want her to be my best friend with whom I can share the stuff, spend quality time and make her feel that there is a guy who is best for her.”

And with this mission on his mind he tried to control his feelings whenever he felt for her in that way and saw her as an epitome of friendship.

Coincidentally that was the time when Arjun became senior too and was very much excited about being a senior as what he used to see the senior junior relation on serials, movies now he can actually feel that.

Arjun was already considered a bad boy by his batch mates because he was growing more and his friend circle was expanding in a great speed and now he used to talk less, meet less, communicate less with the other batch mates leaving Anirudh, Aaliya and a few.

Anirudh was one such guy Arjun blindly trusted and he knew 95% stories about what is going in Arjun’s life whereas Aaliya was much busy in her life still some or the other day they used to connect and share what is happening in each other’s life.

Juniors were not exciting what Arjun’s batch thought.They were slow, too shy, and were not at all expressive.

There was a fashion show coming up in the college and Arjun was now a part of every year’s fashion show for the college.

Again a hipe got created that Arjun Singhania is taking part in 2014’s Fashion Show of L.D.I. They were actually sounding like toddlers who wants to get feed minute after minute. It was for the third time he was a part of fashion show. Juniors were pretty much excited about this so almost the whole college came and they enjoyed just like they always did in past.

Arjun became one of the favorite senior. Every other girl used to talk about him. Many girls joined the nearby gym also and obviously like every other boy he was enjoying the attention and flirt girls used to do with him.

Arjun still believed that there is a lot more to be achieved as it was just a beginning.

Arjun got struck and was flattened by the flirty messages and comments one junior Mihika always used to post and text him.

So he got carried away too and started pushing himself towards her. He forgot for once that he was her senior.

Mihika tried coming too close to Arjun in a short span of time and Arjun was loving such attention so he also  forgot the time and started chit chatting to the next level.

Mihika’s group started rumoring about the two and she became famous because of Arjun in hardly two weeks since the beginning of the college.

Arjun now started thinking that everything is going in wrong direction. First Arjun and Mehar, then Arjun and Shaunaya , then Arjun and Aaliya, then Arjun and Anamika, then Arjun and Hita, and finally Arjun and Mihika.

Others tried to make him slow down , but all he put was Brakes Off.

Arjun’s birthday was near and this time coincidentally the freshers’s party was also falling a day before his bday.

Everyone knew this time both his batch and the juniors that Arjun’s birthday is coming.Mihika was full down in the party and was seen most of the times with Arjun only, he started thinking that it is not at all right and he should avoid Mihika now till the time Arjun was in his senses.

Arjun saw Aaliya and her group which was someday used to be his group, and he saw himself standing alone , he changed his mind while saying himself “You come alone and You go alone in this world” so shut this Fuck Up enjoy the day.

Juniors were all over him clicking pictures and dancing having endless fun.

Arjun after a point of time thought to take soft drink but he was all over in a jubilant mood that he actually forgot what he drank. His head after a point of time was ROLLING IN THE DEEP.

And now he instead of taking rest and hoping that he don’t get drunk, he started taking VODKA SHOTS, and on count drunk 17 of it one after the other and it was all for the first time

Bottom’s Down !

Now the situation was he thought Physically he was half drunk and was half in his senses. But mentally he thought he was all in his senses, as he knew all the mathematics tables, formulas, his favorite WWE superstars biographies everything.

The day somehow got over and he reached back to his place safe and sound.

The next day was his birthday and unexpectedly at 1 am he receives Akhilesh his childhood buddy, his brother, his best friend from Ludhiana on his door.

Arjun shifted his hostel to a P.G and he was living with 12 more people all  from the same college and hostel and he knew everyone quite well.

Akhilesh was the biggest surprise one can expect and Arjun was just too elated to receive and to entertain him. He got a call from his childhood school friend who has spent 13 years in school with him Sophia. And they both communicated after seven years. So they day was just started and he already got two biggest gifts he could ever imagine.

Again in heart of heart Arjun thought that something will special happened this time as a lesson for the last time but he was again proven wrong.

The day started beautifully and it ended unexpectedly awesome because of his hometown friends and wishes for him and Mihika’s unexpected bunch of roses and a card for him.

They actually went on a date and at the end Mihika just kissed Arjun on his cheeks and ran away.

Arjun was in dilemma.

What Mihika did Arjun also started doing the same thing with her and now all of a sudden Mihika reduced her attention towards him and now started talking in all formal way, now she actually remember that Arjun was his senior.

Arjun was pissed off by the sudden changes in the behavior of people so he decided to cut off from them, whosoever will communicate and will call him not when it is required but on a daily routine, only and only for those he will be available.

He now focused more and more on his studies as he was getting low grades semester after semester. And besides studies Gym used to be his part time buddy.

The college diaries continued and his friendship with Hita also reduced, there were no fix reasons. She started avoiding him and Arjun was not at all aware “Why is this happening to him ?”

He tried asking Hita but she just like Anamika did not feel to entertain  him. Broken Arjun was shown the “NO” sign from every other person without even actually discussing the matter maturely.

He made up his mind not to have any sort of relation and affection for any college girl.

Okay not with the college girl, but you do need some support and friendship from your opposite sex at some point of time.

He then decided to be more friendly with a girl with whom he has been dating online on Facebook for past more than a year and her name was Elisha who was from Ludhiana only and was doing B.com from a girl’s government college. Her group of friends were used to be Arjun’s classmates at the time of his schooling.

Elisha was one such girl who had the courage to make Arjun laugh for whatever  period of time and in whatever mood.

They were really good at friendship but the hard fact was they have never met, she carried an image of Arjun whatever she has spoken on internet or on phone till now, but her group of friends which include Shreya,Manya,Shipika,Sagrika and Rishika were the game spoilers. Whenever something good was about to strike even at a long distance,  something bad always used to be there from the ladies. He really used to feel disgusted but he was far away from her and he cannot do anything just to repent.

He wanted to propose her so that he could settle this up-down type of thing for once and for all, but it needs guts you can’t just say I love you.

Holidays were near and he had to visit home, Ludhiana he decided that he will meet her for the first time and probably say his heart out.

He was doing all of this just to save himself from “Girl_Power” or he really like Elisha ? He himself did not know why he was doing all this, all he wanted a girl and that too like Elisha, his impatience and greed for her made him paid off and he finally met his girl for the very first time.

They went out for a movie had lunch clicked pictures, had evening coffee too and then Arjun like  a gentlemen asked her out in a very romantic manner like never before.

He brought an Ice Cream Cone from Baskin Robbins and he told the vendor to wrote I Love You in symbols with chocolate at the top of the cone, which was having the Waffer on the top.

She said yes and then Arjun was again for the seventh time on a roll.

The days with her were always beautiful whenever he came to his hometown and whenever they met, he started loving her every next day and he became more and more serious for her. The way he tried to achieve her and the way he has achieved her was different and his feelings were different too now.
The whole world came to knew when Elisha posted her and Arjun’s picture on Facebook with a commitment status.

Arjun did not like that act because he felt that some things should always be kept as private, he was confused why she was creating a ruckus of it. Now since he was away from her, he could not face her and he could not get to know the truth behind all this.

One day he see Elisha post something on facebook which really made Arjun’s head blow up, wishing a birthday on facebook and over elaborating it are two different things.

What her wishes for this guy who is living in Canada were so deep and full of hugs and kisses emoticons which questioned their relationship.

For once Arjun ignored hoping that he might be her great friend and she might be missing him, but the same post with additions when he saw on Instagram, Twitter and on other Social sites.

He was in complete disbelief.

He called Elisha, she did not pick the phone.

Arjun was already a short tempered guy and her behavior was testing Arjun more and more. He screaming “Bitch why is she not picking up the phone” ?

He decided to talk to that Canada guy whose name was Gagan.

He first of all greeted, spoke like a friend come brother, made him comfortable and after a while he asked about Elisha, “What was there between you two ?”

He replied “Bro. she is my Girlfriend.”

And Arjun was speechless, he felt like the heartbeats were stop and he could sense the sudden commotion in his body and in his activities.

Arjun did expect this at some point of time and unexpectedly what he expected only that happened.

Arjun then asked Gagan “WOW, good to hear that. How long you two are into it. ?”

And he replied “Tomorrow will be two months.”

And Arjun thought he met Elisha for the first time in Ludhiana exactly two and a half months before, so for past two fucking months I am fooled by this girl, with whom I never ever did wrong, always made her feel special, always loved her, always find time to talk weather I have to sacrifice or cut my Gym time and She did this to me !  Tears were there in his eyes and irony was he could not hide them.

That was the end of the 8th reign of a girl in Arjun’s life.

Arjun never ever care to ask Elisha about what she did. He was completely broken for the second time after whatever happened with Anamika.

He made up his mind, Come what may The chapter of girls in my life is closed. The Chapter of Me is started now. I will transform myself into that person who every girl wishes for and every girl is dying for, now I won’t die for a girl, Girl will die million times for me.”

Arjun decided to quit from all Social Sites for some point of time so that he could change his mind and do something productive so that he keeps himself occupied and busy.

Chapter 6

CHAPTER-6

4 Months Of Isolation

After breaking off with her, Arjun became unstable and was not able to find the actual reason behind it. He really wanted to know ‘Why did she do such cheap thing when she knew I love her a lot’ .And thus to find this reason he tried everything to know for once.

He tried asking Anamika again and again weather he has done something wrong or not, but she did not like to entertain him, kept on ignoring the end number. off calls and the messages

Arjun was pissed off by the sudden change in Anamika’s attitude and so he also started ignoring her because he started thinking about his self respect after a point of time. Again the same old thing started happening he went college sat in a corner did his stuff without talking to anybody and others preferred the same. He was in dilemma that without doing anything why all this is happening to him  ?? There were people in his class who did bad to someone at some point of time and yet they were enjoying the college and all things which actually should happen to them was happening to him. He then thought may be it is a story of a day or two and everything might get solved from 3rd day but he was wrong his expectations were much more than the reality.

Somehow he tried to pass the time from 9.30am to 4.00pm everyday by again one day, two days, three days…… but how long.

He accepted the fact that he has to be away from Anamika and she was no more the girl he loved, he always wished for and thus he accepted the life too. He tried making himself occupied but always got struck at one point of issue “Why Me ?”

He tried living the miserable and lonely life without any complaints and demands.

His one of the favorite star Seth Rollins from the WWE was about to visit New Delhi for a promotional event and obviously he will not give one single chance to miss the THE SHOW.

Next day he gets to know that there is a fair that the college is organizing for his batch and that too is necessary as it takes place only once in a year and which is coincidentally on the same day.

. Obviously he made up his decision not to go there and to attend the event he waited for quite a long period of time.

Only four days were left for the event and he was super excited and suddenly he gets a call of Anamika and she said that she wants to meet him. Surprised he was but at the same time elated too. He moves his ass and right away went to meet her.

Anamika exactly acted the opposite what he expected her to be after meeting one to one for a really long time. What she says “ Arjun I seriously want you to come with us at the fair because it is our first trip from the college and who knows in future we might go or not. And it is the best way to become friends again. She kept on saying something Blahh.. Blah! and Arjun was like “What ?” “What ?”

Coming back to his room he was thinking what type of girl she is ??  Again she is giving a justification to come back as friends, Can’t she understand you cannot be friends again if you have already fallen in love with that person. But he was confused to forget what he really wished for by going into that event , watching his favorite star and feeling that excitement and energy or going with some crack souls in the bus to the fair venue and just clicking some pictures and coming back with an update on Facebook !

He discussed the same with his family and his family did not support him, they said go to fair that is important for your career. And he was like Just by going to some shit fair really adds up to some credits in your career ?? He discussed the same with some guys who had the same taste. And they pushed him by saying this moment does not come monthly or yearly, this comes once in a lifetime, why not to grab it?

He finally made up his mind that hell with this double thoughts . and the next day he sat into the bus with Anamika and her friends and went straight to the fair. There he was thinking “what the hell he is doing he agreed on that note that he will spend time with Anamika and she is carefree in herself and he like a fool just letting his dream fading away.”

He decided to move and ran away from the fair. That venue was 30kms away and he had to reach exactly at 5.30pm and it was already 4.00pm and he only had 140Rs. With him. He went out and walk a kilometer in search of a transport because that area did not have any ready transport.

He somehow got the transport and he took 100Rs. And he reached the venue exactly at 5pm.

He was delighted that finally he is living his dream and the moment he waited for so long. Time passed by and his heartbeats grew that when Seth will come. But to outlast an audience of 25,000 people he wanted something that could beat the rest. He pleaded the event organizer to give one chance not to dance but to do something that he could be among those 5 lucky people who will get the chance to meet Seth. And Arjun got the chance.

He did every shit he could what he was told to do in front of the millions because it was telecasted live. And yes the time came when Seth Rollins hugged Arjun and he raised his hand and he felt like a Champion because no one got the chance that moment other than him.

On return back to hostel he was elated excited and forgot everything what is going on his life, he came and saw Anamika there and so he wanted to share the best thing happened to him to the most special he person he thought to be. And she was busy in her phone he waited for her 10 minutes, 20 minutes and he was thinking what this girl upto ? He updated this news on the facebook everyone came to know even Anamika and when he really wanted to share the experience with, she was throwing tantrums. He forgot her for a moment and again brought that smile and started going back and he saw Aaliya running towards and she hugged him tightly and asked everything about the show. And then he finally found someone to share the stuff and went gazing into the eyes of Anamika.

The day was over and like for everyone the memory was over too but for Arjun its just started.

Gradually and gradually the craze got over and the same old limited boundated life hit the door of Arjun and he had to welcome it because he thought he did not had any option.

Life went on and on and he finally accepted that this college, this city was not exactly in his fate.

When everyone used to laugh make jokes click pictures he used to be with himself and thinking what should I do so that I can pass this part of time and he thought to take a pen and write a story.

A story of a normal boy who was deprived of many things and still had the courage to fight the world and in the end he was the one who won, it took time but In the End it was all him.

And he thought to write it in a professional way and so he started meeting some people who helped him and guided him too and in that search he found one girl Hita he got impressed with.

And he thought now the four months isolation will surely get away because it is basically the perfect time he thought he had found someone…

Chapter-5

First Love

The next day was hard for him to get up and experience the things in a new way. New room, New roommate, New Friend and of course the New Lifestyle. He got up three hours late from his usual time and was still lying down in bed when Anirudh asked “Arjun get up its 8.30 and you need to have breakfast. Its ok forget whatever happenend yesterday ! There is always a new day, a new beginning, So what a day went bad the next day might go awesome ?

After getting fresh he was about to call his new friend Anamika and just at the nick of time Anamika’s phone came and he started feeling that shit “Wow..something is there between us..” They both went together to mess had there breakfast went class together, Arjun was not at all interested because he  was afraid that he will not be able to face his previous group.But it was Anamika who supported Arjun. She said “How long will you be afraid of them ? You wont go today,tomorrow day after tomorrow,10 days ? But sometime you will have to go and face them ! Then why don’t you face those Jackasses today ?” Arjun went with full confidence only after listening to his inspirational theme The time Is Now ! He entered his class normally thinking whom to greet because his six friends who were from the beginning were sitting all together and for the first time Arjun was unable to locate his seat. Meanwhile he was thinking “Its just his previous group and Mehar who is supposedly are not talking with me, Why are others not talking to me or why there seems to be a sudden change in the behaviour of them.??” And Arjun quietly sat in the last corner 1st bench remembering the same bench he used to sit all alone in school.Professor came he is in his thought process. Professor Sachin was teaching Geometry and Arjun in his virtual world ,he saw him and asked in a loud clear voice “where the hell are you ?” He felt disgusted and ashamed on his first day of separation with his group, he looked at them and they exchanged glances with him, Meanwhile he heard Mehar laughing at the current scene.Sachin threw Arjun out of the class,Impatient Arjun went straight to his room,don’t know what to do.He was feeling like the pain of whole world is on him,so much anger was there in his eyes on his face !He opened his bag packed clothes and without telling anyone he left for his home. Anirudh phones messages came he did not reply to any,Anamika was concerned he did not reply to her because he was selfish at that time only thinking about himself not about any other person. It took 8 hours to reach home and meanwhile during the journey he was asking himself again and again “Is this what I wished an independent life to be ? I am wasting one hell of golden moments of my life.

On reaching home his parents were surprised too,why he came all of  a sudden. He explained all the things to his mother everything what happened. His mom said the same thing what Anamika said “The more you run,The more you will get weak and The more you will be weak,The more you will hate yourself.” He realized that “What am I doing?” and took 2 days to get over the fact that he has finally lost his previous group friends and their chapter is over, new chapter is Anamika !God really gave me the reason to again live happily.”and went back to Noida the third day happily.

Arjun got busy with Anamika and her class friends that he gradually started forgetting that he ever had a group in his life. The new routine was getting up at 6 in the morning then 3hours gym then breakfast at 9.45 with Anamika and then the whole day with her. Lunch together, going to classes together, bunk together, even sitting for hours in chilly weather too.

Arjun started feeling something something for her,He did not know anything about her,But he was quite sure about his feelings for Anamika.They used to sit in an isolated place in college where no one can see them,no one can hear them and no one can observe them.Arjun took a step ahead and started that something something with cuddling,so did she !And from this moment their something something started turning into real thing. They came close share their past spent whole day physically and whole night through mentally One day Anamika was little upset rearding her ex involvement in life again. She discussed the matter with Arjun and he took an action called His ex who lives in California and said in a very define manner “That She is all mine ! Get the hell out of here…!”

Both gave time equally to each other and tried knowing their deepest secrets. It was Saturday afternoon and Arjun does not have any college,his dad called up to inform Arjun that his mom will be visiting her hometown Agra and will stop at New Delhi Railway station for 10-15 minutes if you can go and meet her,she will feel surprised and happy.

Arjun on the other side was confused weather he should take Anamika with her to meet his mother or not.Without any further delay he quickly told Anamika “that you have to be ready within 10 minutes we are going somewhere”. Surprised Anamika asked where ? and Arjun just said Just be ready Il tell you later.

Just when they reached the station he told Anamika that “My mother is coming and I wanted you to meet the most special person in my life”.

Anamika said “Awww…!” and hugged Arjun.

When Arjun meet his mother the first thing he did he touched her feet and then introduced Anamika to her mom.His mother exchanged a few glances with him,as she was trying to say that “Is she you girlfriend ?” and in the exchanged glances he said no.!

The meeting was very delightful and happening too because for the first time Arjun made someone to meet his girl and that too Anamika who came right at that time when he wanted someone.

And slowly and slowly their story began,when she said one day when they were siting in the garden at the evening time that “I have never found as perfect as handsome as hot and as loving and caring you are, I really really like you a lot.” And Arjun was pretty surprised and got emotional too and he hugged her and got down on his knees and said, “Anamika Sharma You came exactly at that time when I was fully broken up and from that day I am in love for the first time in my life, The real love…Anamika I love you and I will be there for you whenever you need me and whenever you want me.”

Anamika just said yes,I love you too. And they got into a relationship in just  15 days.

Arjun was never so happy before. Milan from his previous group friend too got in relation and Aaliya continued to ride the cocktail with Pranay.Life was busy and so were the people.And time just passed by.There was a hustle that Arjun Singhania got committed with Anamika Sharma.Some people he knew came suggesting him leave her as soon as possible,She is not a good soul.

He was again in a dilemma,weather these guys are right or wrong.But at last he made up his mind and continued his relationship with Anamika.

Semester exams were right on the corner and before that loads of submission.Arjun had already submitted his work and was appreciated in class also,Anamika asked Arjun if he can do her submission work.To this Arjun said “That’s it,you just order I will do the rest sweetheart. And poor Arjun spend the whole night just doing her work,and was not at all acknowledged too,which made Arjun think that “I did not sleep whole night,was too much into her work and she did not even care to say THANKS forget about the rest.” He started thinking that something is definitely not right.

He did not have anyone with whom he can share his feelings,what all he was going through.His mom and dad were so dam busy in the family issues that he did not feel like disturbing them and his brother Aakash was living his perfect life as he was shifted in Hyderabad with his job in Fiat Motors,perfect apartment,a perfect girlfriend and what else one will need.So Arjun preferred to stay quiet and observe.

Exams came and he made Anamika understand the content,made her learn the things what Arjun knew and he again like a fool did not care about himself,and the only focus was Anamika.

They went and she scored the highest and did not even care to appreciate the hard work of someone behind her success.Arjun started feeling pissed off but again he prefered to remain quiet.

Winter break came and Arjun with his mom dad planned a short 4 days trip to Manali to admire the Snow and the chilly weather.He thought to spent the best moments with his family than to think of Anamika or anyone else.But LOVE IS BLIND.The whole day he used to be with his family enjoying the sights ,the views,clicking pictures and when they used to come back at their hotel where they were staying.Arjun again like a big fool used to sit on clear floor in -1 degree temperature just to talk with Anamika who did not even care to send at least one message in whole day.He everyday used to sit on the floor to chat to talk with her because there mobile network were not strong and he used to use their WIFI.He indeed felt the fucking cold but he used to ignore that hoping if he is getting the happiness in talking to her,so what if he can take some cold inside him.

Holidays got over and again the college routine started.

21st January 2014

Arjun was not feeling well so he was in his room trying to get some sleep,and he got a message from Mehar

“Dear Arjun

I know Its been really long time and I hope you are well,I just wanted you to know that.On that day I was being forced by Aaliya,Shaunaya,Ritika,Pranay and Avantika to say all that.I got influenced by them and did not even think about how close we were at a point of time.I don’t know how will you react.But I just want if we can solve our differences and be the same we were just like before.I am very very sorry.Hope you understand.”

Arjun was stunned to see what in the world is happening ,nearly after two and a half months she wrote this.????

He ignored the message and took a nap,suddenly his phone rings and he saw Deepak calling him another classmate.Deepak on phone says “Brother where are you Anamika just got collapsed….Come soon Bro.!”

Arjun again said the same thing,what in the world is happening today..?? He got up and quickly ran towards the class in his lowers only.Just after reaching he saw Ananmika is on the ground and everyone just standing in a group,Arjun got emotional and said “SO what If I am her boyfriend Cant you dumb people,Just pick her up and put her on the table.

He did not observe that in that same class three faculties were also standing.He picked her up and put her on the table.Milan his old buddy went to bring his car down near his department and went straight to hospital.Arjun was frightened to see her in this state because he has never experienced a hospital life so close.

Doctors said she needs to be admitted and taken care in the hospital only, Arjun was confused what should he do ? Acting like a mature adult stay with her till the time she gets discharged or just admit her and leave her independently in the hands of a local hospital.

He was only a 18 year old boy and he decided to stay there till she gets discharged forgetting about his classes in the college, his gym, everything.

Arjun seriously acted like a husband give her milk, fruits, medicines on time and even solely took the responsibility to talk to her parents and make her convey that she is safe till the time I am here.They immediately transferred the money in her account.

As a result what Arjun gets on the last day is Anamika says “Arjun you are indeed a great guy but I seriously cannot continue the relation,I am sorry I don’t love you anymore and I just cant be with you.” Arjun was broken in half, he seriously did not expect this behavior even after doing all this for her,she ended everything very cheaply,without even caring for the moment what Arjun did for her.

A mere love story that just started in Arjun Singhania’s life was finished…

Chapter 4 (3 Months)

Chapter-4

3-MONTHS !

Finally getting what Arjun always wanted from the beginning the group always used to go out as Milan used to bring his car,they used to roam have fun,and then ended the day with a photo session !!

The classmates started feeling jealous as they were really shock to see such a nice happy group within eight days of college life.Everyday the group of five use to sit all together,gossip together.They never cared to talk to the rest of the classmates,they did not even know their names too.

Gradually when the days started passing by you  start spending more time with the people around you,Reality comes out and one can clearly analyze it

.Arjun still could not get over the obsession with the fact that Shaunaya although liking him said NO for a relationship ! So he started that topic and again tried asking the real matter,After a point of time Shaunaya started feeling irritated and at every alternate day they used to sit quietly even when the group does an outing.

Aaliya tried knowing the real matter so he asked Arjun

“Its just the beginning of the college dude and forming such an Awesome group you two are not talking each other WHY ??” Arjun did not know what to say.So he quietly accpted everything and asked Shaunaya to be friends again.

All such things got repeated once in a week and Aaliya was the only survivor.Their little day to day tiff started affecting the group members.And Arjun for once did not think about carrying this group and the relations for the next 4 years and even more.

Days in the hostel was very ordinary because normally the boys used to be very introvert and they did not like mixing with other people So Arjun concentrated on two things after the college-his gym and to connect with two kinds of people The College mates and the School Mates.School mates were not much available because everyone were busy that none replied to any of the messages sent by him.He felt that he was missing them but it was only he who was feeling the same.

Aakash on the other side was well occupied in his training session and used to connect Arjun once in 2 or 3 days,while his parents Manik and Jyotsana did keep a daily check.Being somehow close to his mother Arjun tried telling some things related to college and the people to his mother.And she on the other hand used to say “Whatever you are doing just don’t rush yourself in.” and his dad would just ask Everything is okay? Did you have your meals regularly on time ? Arjun was really missing his family,knowing that he cannot meet his brother he wanted to go to meet his parents back in his town Ludhiana.Aakash bought the tickets online and Arjun travelled all alone in a very awkward time 4.30 in the morning reaching station and then picking up the train.

But before going home he made the biggest mistake of his life introducing His Friends from hostel of other department  Pranay and Mohit into the group.In his absence Mohit tried on Shaunaya so hard knowing that the guy who let you come in his group is already behind her and she also have feelings for him.The story became much more complicated and Arjun started ignoring Shaunaya knowing that she and Mohit are spending some of the quality time in his absence which they were not. Shaunaya keep sending messages to Arjun “talk to Me ?? Where are you ??” and Arjun would just see and ignore it.Arjun came back from his house after five days.

Time passed and it was the day when Arjun was born,his birthday on Aug. 20,First birthday without his family.He was sad too but excited too ,sad because he was not celebrating his birthday without his parents and excited because it was his first birthday and he was all elated to celebrate it with his new bunch of college friends.But that’s an old saying you expect and always the Unexpected happens.The group was indeed there but there was none to remember and celebrate 20th Aug. 2013 ,people for formality did wish at night but they did not remember that the night was a part of next day.Coincidentally there was a holiday in the college too.The Facebook posts and the Whats App messages kept him busy all night so he could not sleep obviously it was his birthday.Morning and for the fifth consecutive time it started raining Arjun came out of his room and said to himself “God Again for the fifth time,Really ??”and went out for a stroll in his campus.Meanwhile strolling he was deep into thoughts that how will his birthday go,What would the group planned for him ?And then he answered his question “This birthday will be memorable.!! After the stroll he took bath and went to temple,because there were some things his parents did teach him weather Arjun stays with them or weather he not.He came back and everything was so normal that he did not feel that it was his birthday.It felt like its Just Another Day of his life,some time he spent asking to himself.Went straight to the hostel common room and switched on the television,got emotional and then started talking to himself, “This is what I wanted to happen on my birthday,Its my first birthday without my family but with my college family and this is what I am getting its 5 in the evening and the whole day was spent as it was  a Sunday.He did not know what to do how to react, went straight up to the hostel roof and started sobbing in the corner.Time passed by and it was seven,the whole group Shaunaya,Aaliya,Milan etc did not call whole did not message him and of course the day was about to end and there were no birthday suprises too.Arjun felt totally pissed off on his birthday went to the nearby mall and went straight to Dominoz ordering his favourite Cheese Burst and when the pizza came he said “Happy Birthday Arjun,Happpy Birthday… and started eating with the rolling tears,”.Birthdays are supposedly the best day in one’s life and that best day of Arjun’s life got over not with a happy cheering face but with a guilt and regret that wether he has made right choice of forming a group and living a life that he always wanted from the beginning.And thinking the same thing again and again he slept.

Some days later there were a gap of four days as holidays so all the nearby students thought to go their homes.Arjun did not go as he little afraid as Delhi was under minor terrorism at that point of time.He did forget what happened on his birthday and told Shaunaya that he will go to drop her,Shaunaya felt that he is caring for nothing as she will be all safe so what Delhi is under minor terror.But Arjun was confirmed to his decision and went to drop her to the Bus Stand,making her sit in her bus to Rohtak.And then he felt again something for her;but he surely forget the incident that took place on 20th Aug.His confusion was increasing day by day and he could not realize what’s best for him.

The Group became just for Namesake and gradually Arjun started cutting off himself from the group activities and started knowing the rest of the classmates.It was indeed a high time that he only knew the names of 9 people out of a class of 24 students and 6 were his group members.

When he started knowing people he encountered with so many faces that he was in a dilemma that such type of people also exist ?Arjun’s role from the group was like Comparing his griefs with other men and then it seems very less…

When Arjun began knowing the other members of his class he came to know that a variety of people are there like a girl Priya who is stinking rich and do all sought of unusual things with an unlimited freedom does not care about her college life,studies all she cares is for herself.People like Deepak,Pradeep,Bharat who are so close with someone and that person does not know that they are actually stabbing that guy from the back by double crossing him.

Time however just used to get pass by with or without the group…

After having this absence of someone in Arjun’s life he could not make up his mind that L.D.I is really the right place for him.Just because there are little differences with some jackasses does not mean that he will question himself weather that place is right or not.Arjun called his mother Jyotsana one noon during the lunch break and started crying and sobbing.He said “Mom L.D.I not the right place for me,the people are so cruel and mean,I don’t know that I could be adjusted here or not.Its very difficult mom…and could not speak more !”His mother on the other side “just said Arjun try doing those things that makes you happy. You are the champ,the next John Cena and you are giving up so early.? Worship your gym,watch movies on television,hear songs,enroll yourself in some kind off activities,do your work properly and systematically.

The next day it was Sep.1 and he got up early at 5.30 in the morning,laced his shoes and went straight to gym to work his ass off.Came back at 9 took bath went to mess took his breakfast and then college,tried to pass the time happily.Maintained a distance from the group as Arjun came to know from Shaunaya that “His dropping me was useless some days before and mentioned that I was a big rown up girl I would have easily gone all by myself.”

Arjun got emotional and really felt that Why all the miseries happen with him ? Why being such a great person he is the one who has to be the sufferer one.After that day he got himself from the group,made his mind completely not communicate with them.He started seeking for some friendship with some other people of college.But in the end Arjun felt that is he so lonely baby that he could not live life all by himself on his own terms ! Arjun again resumed his old routine.5.30 in the morning gym,bath,breakfast,college and then again gym but not on Thursday as WWE RAW used to come from 5-8pm.For once Arjun completely forgot that he used to be the same asshole who used to seek attention by doing anything.In a month he really grew with a lot of differences.He lost 14 kilo grams and came to 82 in just one and a half month,built some muscles and he started feeling that he is really the NEXT BIG THING.He started focusing more on himself than on any other person,month end our fresher party was there.Our seniors !The more you speak about them the less you will come to know about them.The party really could have been wonderful if Arjun would have focus more on himself than concentrating on what other’s are doing.He started talking to a girl of the other section Anamika.And she out of nowhere became the reason of Arjun’s little happiness in the party.Arjun was feeling bounded in the party and everytime tried to seek some other corner and sit thinking why he came to party and all stuff.Because he saw his so called group enjoying a lot by drinking taking hookah.He was stunned to see this.Anamika came to Arjun picked him up and started dancing and told him “Arjun why are you getting upset ? Its your Fresher’s party ? Enjoy These moments wont come back again.!” He made up his mind that he will try being more with her than with them.He clicked hell no. of pics with Anamika and her friends like Rishab,Shriya,Shikha,Anjali,Mehar and somehow party ended but not the day.At the end of the day Shaunaya’s message came to Arjun’s phone “Arjun today I really did not like your behavior.What is this ? We were supposed to be in a group and have fun and all the time you were with that BITCH Anamika.You know I really don’t like her and you were with her because I was drinking or taking hookah,? Its my life  I really wanted to do all this for once.! Please Be mature and grow up.!!”

Arjun was pretty surprised and astonished to see Shaunaya’s message and that too like this.He did not know what all happened after everyone came back to girls hostel.

To this Arjun wrote “Shaunaya Its your life do whatever you want to do.I am not your boyfriend where you have to take permission from me.Since you have your life I have mine.I felt something great would definitely happen but day after day it only got ruined.And who are you to decide who is right or wrong for me.? Anamika or no Anamika Its my life My choice.!!!”

The next day everything felt again so normal.But a surprise took place.Mehar did not leave Arjun for whole day.And Arjun like a fool got easily in the flow of Mehar and told whatever she asked.She tried coming close by asking his rapport with Shaunaya and her group.Now the group became her group.He on the other side trusted her and said what all happened with Shaunya and with the other group members.And for a couple of days Mehar used to be with him All Day.The college hours and after college till 6 pm because after that he has to go to gym.

It was 4th October.Unexpectedly Arjun’s former group members made a plan to a nearby public park as a picnic.Arjun said NO but then Shaunaya came and made up his mind rather convinced him and he went and enjoyed just like the old days.Evening came they came back to their hostel and Mehar called Arjun and said him to come and meet her immediately at mess.He went and he got to know that just on the entrance Shaunaya,Aaliya,Pranay,Avantika and Mehar are standing and they all one by one started yelling on Arjun.Shaunaya put up a point by saying “Arjun called me that type of girl who can go to drink or take hookah with any boy.” Avantika put up a point that “Arjun called her Shaunaya’s Spoonie as she used to do whatever Shaunaya used to say. Mehar put up a point that “Arjun called her a Slut” ! Poor Arjun had an expression less face because he was not shock he was bewildered to see them saying things like that and the most shocking moment was Pranay supporting them.That guy who Arjun introduced him to HIS group that guy who was his roomate,he ditched him because of some attention he was getting to girls which he should not have been getting because of Arjun.That day Arjun could not speak up and Aaliya in the end just said “We are kicking you out of our group and out of our life.”Speechless Arjun did not do what to say,what to do as he was insulted in front of soo many people.Anamika was standing in front of the scene listening and watching each and everything.Arjun cried back to his room which was no longer his room.

That day crying and weeping he went to room open his bag packed the stuff and changed the room within fifteen minutes with Anirudh.Anirudh helped him but was surprised too that all of a sudden what happened to him which made him to take such decision.He was quite all quite.Put the bags in the room and went straight to the roof and cried with his heart out.He was crying so hard and loud that people on the ground floor could easily listen his voice.He felt that life is over without them how will he survive in the college and thinking this he felt asleep in the windy weather on the roof.

He saw Anamika’s call on his phone,In such a perpetual state of mind he was in dilemma what to do,After three regular calls he picked up.Anamika asked directly to Arjun what happened tell me in detail,and poor Arjun finding her the only support told each and everything related to the discussion that took place.He discussed about Mehar,Shaunaya,Aaliya everyone and told the truth to her and it was just a couple of days Arjun knew her. Arjun while communicating with her on the phone made up his mind that he will suicide. But after their conversation there was one thing to be noticed and that was Arjun finally had a smile.Because he found someone to be the reason for living.

support told each and everything related to the discussion that took place.He discussed about Mehar,Shaunaya,Aaliya everyone and told the truth to her and it was just a couple of days Arjun knew her. meone to be the reason for
