Explore, Evolve <strong>and</strong> Excel The cycle called “LIFE” revolves under two main events, viz; BIRTH <strong>and</strong> DEATH. Immortality has not yet been bes<strong>to</strong>wed upon humans. The intermediate period is the one termed “LIFE”. This is the period where Humans, as the scholars, Pundits, intellectuals say, <strong>and</strong> as the <strong>to</strong>pic say Explore, Evolve <strong>and</strong> Excel. Every Parent would like their children <strong>to</strong> Excel in all aspects of Life, stating with Academics, Profession, Family-life etc. However, all the plans may not materialize for the unfortunate ones or sometimes may always do so for the more fortunate people. The succeeding paragraphs narrate in brief how things have materialized for my only son, Ashwin, presently a student of Class VI in <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> Public School, Daman. The year was 2006, we had moved <strong>to</strong> Kochi in April, on transfer from Chennai <strong>and</strong> just about settled down in Jal Vayu Vihar. Ashwin was a naughty Five year old admitted <strong>to</strong> Upper Kindergarten School. One fine day, a gentleman with civilian looks, burly, rotund <strong>and</strong> in the mid-thirties enquired about Ashwin. My husb<strong>and</strong>, then Deputy Comm<strong>and</strong>ant in rank, was surprised <strong>and</strong> went about in his usual way of questioning him or rather interrogate him as they do <strong>to</strong> investigate suspect ships at sea. The gentleman’s answer was even more surprising when he said that he was his friend. He introduced himself <strong>and</strong> sowed the seeds of glamour industry in our minds <strong>to</strong> Explore. After much persuasion we accepted his offer for a pho<strong>to</strong>-shoot. A whole lot of water had flown under the bridge without any result when suddenly loomed ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 <strong>and</strong> Cricketer Sreesanth came out with an album where Ashwin got a minor opportunity. India was out of the World Cup before the album released. This was the window which saw Advertisement offers for Funskool, Nestle, LG, Oldenburger milk (Maldivian Ad) etc. Out of the blue came a movie offer in Malayalam <strong>and</strong> since there was no looking back. Ashwin Evolved, as a child artiste, <strong>and</strong> has done 05 Malayalam films, 01 Tamil film, Television Serial <strong>and</strong> numerous Ad’s. The experience of the film industry further helped in his growth as a child artiste. The strenuous shooting schedules <strong>and</strong> backlog of school studies were detrimental fac<strong>to</strong>rs but that also propelled him <strong>to</strong> Excel in academics <strong>and</strong> school activities. The icing on the cake was when he was adjudged “Best Child Artist (Boy) – 2012” by Kerala Film Critics for his role of a neglected child. Whether he will continue acting or choose any other profession? If he stays the course, will he explore new themes <strong>and</strong> roles as an ac<strong>to</strong>r? Will he Excel in his profession <strong>and</strong> finally will he Evolve as a good human being are things which cannot be foreseen or fore<strong>to</strong>ld. However, as is evident, it is again a cycle in life between the BEGINNING <strong>and</strong> the END. As a parent, our role is <strong>to</strong> ensure that the child does not lose his childhood, remains humble in his attitude, <strong>and</strong> learns his academic <strong>and</strong> moral lessons well. The ultimate aim should be <strong>to</strong> Excel as a human being. 59 Swetha Iyer W/o Comdt UK Iyer Dornier Training Flight, Daman
