Clear blue skies and the weather was hot. It was first week of May 2009. During one such days, Vasant Kunj Open Skating Competition was held at Vasant Kunj D Block Sports Centre from 8th to 10th May 2009. This was my first ever competition in any sports event in my life, I won One Gold medal (300 meters adjustable), Two Silver medals (300 meters quads and 500 meters quads). I was thrilled so were my coaches and and Parents.
It was special not because i had secured position but also because, that i had managed to win the confidence of my coach. I felt she was not confident of me, since i had started learning skating only in March 2009. I was scared. But Dad helped me by asking me to relax and focus on basics.
