Deera's Dreams
Join Deera, an 11-year-old with an unyielding curiosity, as he faces the daunting challenge of conquering his fear of performing in front of a crowd. Despite his talents in skating, karate, and playing the ukulele, Deera struggles to find the courage to showcase his skills in a public talent show. With obstacles at every turn, will Deera's dreams of confidence and success come true?
In the bustling town of Ballari, 11-year-old Deera, known for his boundless curiosity, dreams of performing in the town's biggest talent show. But there's a hitch—Deera is terrified of crowds. His heart races at the thought of standing on stage. " - But what if I freeze?" Deera asked his best friend, Anvi. This fear threatens to keep his dreams locked away, never revealing the champion within.
Determined to overcome his fear, Deera decides to practice his ukulele performance at home. But an unexpected obstacle arises when he breaks a string. " - Oh no, not now!" he exclaimed. Anvi tries to help him fix it, but the string won't cooperate. Deera's frustration begins to grow. This first hurdle feels like a mountain.
As the talent show approaches, Deera faces more challenges. During a skating practice, he trips and falls, spraining his ankle. " - How can I perform now?" he sighed to Anvi, feeling defeated. His confidence dwindles further when he overhears someone saying, "Deera's too scared to ever perform." Each day, his dreams seem to slip further away.
With the talent show looming, Deera feels he can't go on. " - Maybe they're right. I should just give up," he tells Anvi, his voice heavy with doubt. His heart aches, and he starts to think that perhaps his dreams were too big. Anvi, seeing her friend's struggle, remains silent, hoping for a spark of hope. The weight of giving up feels like a shadow on his dreams.
As Deera mopes in the park, he meets Mr. Rao, a retired performer. " - You remind me of myself at your age," Mr. Rao chuckles. He shares how he overcame his fears through a simple mantra: "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it." Inspired, Deera realizes he must face his fears to achieve his dreams. With renewed determination, he decides to try again.
On the day of the talent show, Deera stands backstage, heart pounding, but with a new-found courage. " - I can do this," he whispers to himself. When his name is called, he steps onto the stage, feeling the warmth of the spotlight. As his fingers strum the ukulele, the crowd falls silent, captivated by his performance. Deera's courage shines as his dreams take flight.
