This curly-bobbed hair girl started combing her hair with the classic roller comb and decided to wear a navy-blue T-shirt tucked in long and tight peach-colored shorts with colossal eyeliner, hoops, and pink-grey shoes. Of all that she constantly thinks of, the purpose of nature (i.e. learning from and relishing nature) and selflessness, forgetfulness felt obvious.
Her name is Souvarni, unintentionally true to the meaning of her name, i.e. possesses a multitude of colors, typically about a hundred of them. Her mind is tangible, as adamantine as the ground. You draw a hundred tangents to it, it’s always horizontal in accordance with her unnoticeable ability to solve discontinuities and stay frictionless. "Okay, let's just try what's with this so-called tough scenario”, she says and the next thing you'd see is “trying, trying, and trying”. This is what happened here, too. The corollary is, as always, her, being true to her name. It was a question on how to think of approaching an Oxford interview question, i.e. "Imagine a ladder leaning against a vertical wall with its feet on the ground. The middle rung of the ladder has been painted a different color on the side so that we can see it when we look at the ladder from the side on. What shape does that middle rung trace out as the ladder falls to the floor?” with the criteria focusing on your “self”, your originality. Unlimited duration and many numbers of papers, pencils, pens, sharpeners, and erasers. Anchor further mentioned " You have a lavish house, a tranquil and small room along with pure nature. You can choose to walk, sit and lean against a tree, etc". Gift prizes are hefty sums of money including recognition certificates and medals that didn't fail to attract the branded institutions. This monetary factor drove almost every other student to participate but certain spaces require a different set of individuals regardless of anything. Equality, which many demands, has constraints, too. The world follows the saying that everybody is unique so let that be it. The press was already there, staring at the flinging of sheets from the hands of the participants. By now, the hint given was to go as far as possible and just deal with how to go about it.
Souvarni stayed silent as usual. Lights ON and camera turned somewhere else! Her presence was the kind that smooth. Her kind of silence might feel like ignorance for the loudness and brightness when it was indeed elegance and subtleness. Many overestimated sayings include "re-read question" and “useless question” but overall, the reality is that when there's no substance in the mind except that a mind = brain, and neurons are rapidly moving here and there, many end up merely staring the question and complaining of how unchallenging and uninteresting it is due to the unrealistic vibe they feel. Without ABCs, do you want to fulfill the purpose of learning and educating already?! No time constraints but prestige and intellectuality showcase constraints have always been tempting. Little did they know they wholeheartedly did justice to false prestige and cover-ups. Speed has a really well-informed equation with these constraints. So, the urge for this speed factor includes flinging things and sharp discontinuities. The slightest of abilities, not majorly including them yields the path to learning, growing, and winning. Going back to the question, one needs to think of approaching in the midst of originality. Fully solving the question, especially tough ones, is always attractive, right? They fell into that spell. Is modifying easy or not can only be observed if the pencil is put on paper with some substance, that doesn't directly originate from strong references and GPA only, please! Maybe, instead of the midpoint, loosening up the question could be a good way to start things, she thought. Alteration isn't always about complication but time isn't a problem too. Anyhow, we find a general rule for a series so linking with the known, finding “loci of any point on a ladder as ladder slides against slant vertical wall to the horizontal floor” was an interesting notion to her. Going ahead algebra, trigonometry and lateral thinking made her solve 58% of this question, not without erasing, flinging of thoughts, and forgetfulness of the 6th page's 4th equation amongst others. The importance you give to the notations defining those that are needed to be determined including the next step one could think of each time with poise isn’t so easy. For her to maintain this in the midst of such algebra and content isn’t easily narratable here. She inevitably won.
A person asked "How could you forget what you have written a page or 2 before? Did you move a lot here and there? In between, when we asked what was going on, you were stammering. Was it nervousness, hypertension leading to memory loss, or anxiety? Is this what intrinsic geniuses seem like?". She replied, “we weren't obliged to confine to a chair and time constraint. Some things can only be thought of in certain places and during certain times. Please don't imitate these things, then. Now, as one experientially learns the philosophy of learning, the ability in linking elements across what seems like different chapters consist of friction, i.e. when there's so much in mind or so less with no link amongst each other, the link between mind and mouth majorly carries friction”. Finally, advice for people w.r.t this contest was asked for. She replied “Zealous perseverance and persevering zeal in the presence of wisdom. These ain’t any jargon but you can realize them in the littlest to the biggest of moments in your life. You just got to be a blue glue like the sky joy and bitterness both”.
Bye,
Nothing much to do. Just put it out. The ol' heartfelt nostalgia
