This year, I came second in:
• An artist’s pen-mic event.
• A solo singing college event.
• A singing competition at the radio.
• Swarsangam college event.
• And a few more….
• (Class 4 football tournament)
It’s a pattern I’ve noticed for a while now—I always seem to land in second place. No matter the competition, it’s like I’m always just one step away from the top. For a long time, I jokingly called it “The Curse of 2nd “.
It’s frustrating. Being so close and still falling short can mess with your head sometimes.You start questioning yourself: What am I doing wrong? Am I just not good enough? But lately, I’ve started to think about it differently.
Coming second isn’t a curse—it’s progress. A year ago, I wasn’t even close to placing. Now, I’m consistently at the top, just one spot away. That’s improvement, and that’s what matters.
I believe the first prize is waiting for me somewhere bigger, somewhere that truly matches what I’ve been working for. Maybe it’ll happen in 2025. When it does, I know it’ll be worth every step of this journey.
So now, instead of letting second place get me down, I’m using it as fuel. It’s a reminder that I’m moving forward. And when I finally break through, I’ll know I’ve earned it.
It’s not a curse—it’s my story.
