From the time I can remember, I usually came first in the things I participated in, except for studies. It was more like a wave pattern across increasing standards. Let’s not go there.
I have participated in various singing competitions since childhood. I got a gold in the first standard. I was the 5th runner-up in a duo singing competition in class 5 or 6. My solo performance that day was terrible—I changed the song just seconds before stepping on stage.
In 11th, I won a gold award in a duo singing competition for a self-composed and written song. I also performed a qawwali at the annual function with four fellow singers.
After that, as far back as I can remember, I have participated in a dozen competitions. I either failed, usually in the beginning, or kept coming second, second, and second. It’s been a while now since I’ve been coming second.
