The Untold Story

By Adarsh Shetty

In the vibrant heartbeat of God’s own country, a common man emerges. The story unfolds,

unwrapping the layers of experiences that have shaped this individual. He is an ambivert who

takes time to get comfortable with new people, displays hesitancy, and is a sensitive guy. Yet,

once he forms bonds, he cherishes moments with those around him. Finding joy in life's little

things has always been his mantra.

Stepping into the shoes of responsibility, He shoulders the responsibilities of his parents and

two younger siblings aiming to provide them with a stable platform in their life. These

responsibilities have taught him valuable lessons. These responsibilities have never been a

burden to him instead, he finds joy in them. Because they have kept him focused, concentrated,

and self-controlled.

Friendship is another defining factor in his life. Once, he considers someone as his friend, he

values them a lot. There were times when he found himself bound by situations, realizing he

wasn't anyone’s first choice or favourite person. He used to overthink these scenarios a lot

because he placed great value on them. Every single change in a word or action went straight

to his heart. However, these things never kept him away from being loyal in friendships.

Motivating others in tough times is a trait he possesses. However, when faced with challenges

himself, he tends to almost break down because he misses having someone who can encourage

and support him. Fortunately, now he has his close set of ten people who have actually

understood him and values his presence. He never felt excited or joy when something went

well for him but his group was still waiting for their moment. He looks forward to the true

happiness when he along with his group find their moments together.

In this era, even if you genuinely care for someone, people might think you are trying to

approach them and misjudge you. These opinions sometimes made him take a step back, often

overthinking what people around him would think if he took certain actions. He never thought

it was crucial to prove his character to anyone in his world because he knew that, no matter

how good you are, people will always find something negative to say about you. However,

these different opinions never stopped him from being kind, honest, and humble.

We live in a society where education is often judged by marks, beauty is assessed based on

physical appearance, and respect is given based on financial status. He never agreed with these

notions, as he held a different perspective for measuring these aspects. In his view, education

surpassed mere marks; beauty was found in caring and kindness. Respect was earned through

actions, integrity, and the impact one had on others. These differing beliefs shaped his approach

to life, allowing him to see values beyond the conventional measures imposed by society.

Looking to the future, he dreams of bringing immense happiness to his parents, siblings,

cousins, friends and the entire family, also exploring various locations in his nation, and has a

unique ambition to inspire the community. He aspires to change at least 1% of those individuals

holding negative mindsets and intentions towards the female population and illustrate them

how to treat and respect them in their life. He aims to provide a helping hand to few of those

who find it challenging to lead their lives and build their careers.

He aspires to create his own unique identity and become a role model for few in this world,

thereby doing full justice to his name. The dreams are too vast of our common man, Will he be

able to achieve even 10% of them? "Yes, definitely. I will strive to fulfil my dreams before I

take up my last breath" says the main character of the story, 'The Unknown Person.'
