Rishaan’s Adventures

  When I travelled to Haridwar for the CBSE Zonals (North Zone 1), I felt a mix of excitement and nerves. The city’s ghats and the sound of the Ganga made the place feel special, and I reminded myself that I was there to represent my school with pride. On the first morning, walking into the pool complex with my team, I promised myself I would give my best in every race. My schedule was packed. I swam the 50m, 100m, and 200m breaststroke, the 100m butterfly, the 200m freestyle, and two relays—one medley and one freestyle. Each event tested me in a different way. The 50m breaststroke was all about a quick launch and a clean finish, while the 200m breaststroke needed steady pacing and calm breathing. The 100m butterfly pushed my shoulders and lungs, and the 200m freestyle demanded smooth turns and strong kicks. In the relays, I felt the strongest—cheers from my teammates made me swim faster, and our changeovers were tight and focused. I placed in the top five in all my events. Hea...

My Experience at the 8th Step By Step Interschool Swimming Championship On a bright and energetic morning, I participated in the 8th Step By Step Interschool Swimming Championship . The air was filled with cheers, encouragement, and the sound of splashing water — the perfect atmosphere for a swimmer. Representing my school, I was determined to give my best in every race. I took part in five events: the 50m freestyle , 100m freestyle , 50m breaststroke , 100m breaststroke , and the 200m individual medley (IM) . Each event came with its own challenges. The freestyle races tested my speed and stamina, while the breaststroke events required perfect technique and timing. The 200m IM was perhaps the toughest, as it combined all four strokes and demanded both endurance and strategy. The competition was fierce, with talented swimmers from many schools. Still, I stayed focused on my own races, remembering all the hours of training and hard work I had put in. Stroke by stroke, turn by turn,...

My Experience at the Prometheus Swimming Championship Participating in the Prometheus Swimming Championship was one of the most memorable and exciting experiences of my life. As a passionate swimmer, I had been training hard for months, and this championship was my chance to test my skills against some of the best young swimmers in the region. I never imagined that I would come home with not just one, but three medals – two silver and one bronze. The event was held at a large aquatic center, filled with energy, cheers, and the sound of splashing water. Swimmers from different schools and clubs had gathered to compete, and the atmosphere was electric. I felt nervous at first, but as soon as I stepped onto the pool deck, I focused on one thing – doing my best. My first race was the 100-meter freestyle. It was fast-paced and intense. I gave it everything I had, and when I touched the wall and looked up at the scoreboard, I saw that I had come in second place. Winning my first sil...

My Trip to the USA: A Journey Full of Memories Visiting the United States was one of the most exciting and memorable experiences of my life. We traveled to several cities including Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Washington, New York, and New Jersey, and each place offered something unique. From sightseeing to thrill rides to playing Topgolf, the trip was packed with fun, adventure, and unforgettable moments. We started in Philadelphia , a city known for its deep history and iconic landmarks. Walking around the streets of Philly, I could feel the mix of old and new—historic buildings standing next to modern shops and busy streets. We visited places like the Liberty Bell and saw where the Declaration of Independence was signed. Next, we went to Harrisburg , the capital of Pennsylvania. It was quieter than the big cities, but still full of charm. From there, we headed to Washington, D.C. , where we saw famous monuments and government buildings like the White House, the Capitol, and the Li...

My Swimming Competition Experience I recently participated in the Gautam Budh Nagar Noida District Swimming Competition held at Gyanshree School. I competed in the 100-meter butterfly event in the Under-19 category and was proud to win the bronze medal. In the weeks before the competition, I trained hard every day, focusing on improving my butterfly technique and stamina. On the day of the event, I was nervous but excited. The atmosphere at Gyanshree School was full of energy, with swimmers from many schools competing. When my race began, I gave it everything I had. The 100 meters felt long, but I stayed focused and pushed hard until the end. Finishing third and receiving the bronze medal was an unforgettable moment. This experience taught me the importance of hard work and determination. I’m now more motivated than ever to keep improving and aim even higher in future competitions.

My Guitar Show Experience Yesterday was one of the most exciting days of my life—I performed at a guitar show in front of 100 people! The crowd was buzzing with energy, and I could feel the excitement in the air as I got ready to go on stage. I had been practicing for weeks to play the classic rock song "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC on my acoustic guitar, and now the big moment had finally arrived. As I stepped onto the stage with my guitar, my heart was racing. Even though I was nervous, I reminded myself of the time I had spent practicing every chord and strumming pattern. The spotlight hit me, and the crowd went quiet. I took a deep breath and began to play. Even though "Highway to Hell" is originally an electric guitar song, I gave it my own twist on acoustic. The moment I started playing, I could see people nodding to the rhythm. Some even started clapping along! That gave me more confidence, and I played with more energy and passion. The sound of the guitar fille...
