The most amusing memory that I will always cherish is visiting the Paradox Museum in Mumbai. I visited the museum with my parents and brother. The museum comprises different types of illusions, which gave my brother and me a magical experience. The experience was exciting, funny and surprising at the same time! Another exciting thing that happened this year is moving into a new house. Our new house is on the 22nd floor and gives us a beautiful view of our surroundings. I have also made many new friends in my new building.

My most unforgettable memory of 2024 was visiting Dubai. I had many amazing experiences there and interacted with many people from around the world. I visited Legoland and many other attractions in the city. I also learnt about the traditions, culture and cuisine of the region. A bad experience I had this year was falling and fracturing my foot during my summer vacation. Initially, I was very bored and sad as I could not play with my friends. But, I then realised I could engage in a variety of other things such as drawing, reading and board games. I also spent a lot of quality time with my family. This experience taught me how to stay optimistic and make the best out of a difficult situation.

2024 was one of the best years of my life. During this year, I went on many vacations, made new friends, bonded with family members and engaged in many fun activities. At the beginning of the year, my family and I went to Goa. I enjoyed everything there from the scenic views and the beaches to the food and the weather! Later in the year during the Dussehra holidays, we went on a trip to Vietnam and Singapore. While I had an amazing time at Dam Sen Water Park in Vietnam, I enjoyed shopping in the country even more. In Singapore, we visited numerous places including Universal Studios and Singapore Zoo. My birthday this year was special too, as almost all my friends and relatives joined in the celebrations. 2024 has been truly memorable!

2024 has been an extremely eventful and memorable year for me. I attended two national-level taekwondo tournaments and bagged silver medals in both of them. I started learning swimming during the summer and I have taken a liking to it. It relaxes my mind and I enjoy the water. I also started learning the veena, which reduces stress and calms my mind. Another memorable experience I had was celebrating my birthday. This year, we celebrated my birthday by giving food to the housekeeping staff in my neighbourhood. Through this experience, I learnt the joy of giving.

This year was full of many new experiences. Of all my experiences, my visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was the most memorable one. In UAE, I visited Yas Waterworld, Ferrari World and many other places. I also learnt to drive a quad bike. Visiting UAE was an enriching experience as it exposed me to a different culture and allowed me to engage in exciting adventures. This year, I learnt to swim and overcame my fear of water. Additionally, I mastered chess. Furthermore, I bagged two medals in the Olympiad exams and won numerous medals in football. All these experiences and achievements have made me more confident.

As a big cricket fan, one of the best memories I have of this year is India winning the Twenty20 (T20) World Cup after a long T20 trophy drought. India remained undefeated throughout the entire tournament and emerged victorious against South Africa in the final to secure the coveted World Cup. Watching the final gave me a feeling of nervousness, excitement, joy and pride. India’s victory was like a personal achievement for me because my brother used to always mock me, saying that India hadn’t won any T20 World Cup since I was born. I hope that India goes on to win many international tournaments like they did in 2007, 2011 and 2013 under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
