What Shall Aaditya Be?
Aaditya, a curious 7-year-old from Barrackpore, is determined to find out what he wants to be when he grows up. He faces challenges and doubts as he explores different roles like a pilot, firefighter, and more, learning about courage along the way.
Aaditya loved imagining what he could be when he grew up. One day, while playing in his room, he realized he didn't know which path to choose. " - What shall I be?" Aaditya wondered aloud, feeling puzzled. His family often asked him what he wanted to become, but he had no answer. " - It's important to know," his Didi said, "so you can start working towards it." Aaditya felt a strong urge to discover his future self.
To start his journey, Aaditya decided to explore being a pilot. His Babai took him to the airport to see airplanes up close. " - Wow, they're huge!" Aaditya exclaimed, his eyes wide with excitement. But when he tried to steer a pretend cockpit, it seemed really complicated. " - It's not as easy as it looks," the pilot chuckled. Aaditya felt a little discouraged.
Next, Aaditya thought about becoming a firefighter. At the fire station, he was amazed by the big red trucks. " - These are the real heroes," Pisho told him. But when Aaditya tried on a firefighter's hat, it slipped over his eyes. The equipment felt heavy and cumbersome. Aaditya realized this job was tougher than he imagined.
Aaditya also considered being a doctor. He watched as the doctor helped Angi feel better and was impressed. " - I want to make people feel better too!" Aaditya thought. But when he tried to check Bruno's temperature, the stuffed dog squirmed too much. " - Maybe I'm not ready for this," Aaditya sighed. The thought of being a doctor seemed daunting.
One day, Aaditya decided to teach his toys like a teacher. He lined them up and started his lesson on numbers. " - Listen up, class," he announced confidently. But Bruno got distracted and ran off to chase a butterfly. " - Come back, Bruno!" Aaditya called after him. Teaching was harder than it looked.
Aaditya thought of becoming a chef after helping Angi in the kitchen. He loved mixing ingredients and making dishes. " - Can I be a chef one day?" Aaditya asked Angi. " - Of course, if you practice," she smiled. But when he mixed too many ingredients, it became a funny mess. Aaditya realized cooking required skill and patience.
Aaditya even imagined himself as a space explorer. He built a spaceship from cardboard boxes and pretended to fly to the moon. " - I'm ready for lift-off!" Aaditya shouted. But when he tried to walk like an astronaut on the ceiling, he fell down. " - Ouch," Aaditya said, rubbing his head. Space exploration was tricky too.
After trying so many things, Aaditya felt overwhelmed and unsure. " - What if I can't be any of these things?" he worried. He sat on his bed, feeling like giving up. " - Maybe I just won't be good at anything," Aaditya thought sadly. The pressure to choose was heavy on his mind.
Just then, Angi entered the room and sat beside him. " - You know, Aaditya, it's okay to not know right now," she reassured him. " - Really?" Aaditya asked, feeling a bit relieved. " - Yes, what matters is trying and having courage," Angi smiled. Aaditya realized he didn't need to decide immediately. Exploring was part of the journey.
With renewed courage, Aaditya decided to keep exploring. He understood that trying different things was an adventure in itself. " - I'll figure it out someday," Aaditya told himself confidently. He was excited to continue his journey of discovery. Aaditya knew he had the courage to try, fail, and try again. His heart felt light and hopeful.
