MY BUDDHIMAAN ADVENTURES
Hey everyone, Manu J. Gorabal here from Purna Chetana Public School. I want to share something really special to me — my experience with the BUDDHIMAAN puzzle contest. Most of you might already know about it, and if you’ve tried it, you’ll agree — it’s not just fun, it’s super fun! I’ve taken part in it and won the puzzle twice , and honestly, each time has left me with something to treasure. I feel proud, excited, and most of all — challenged.
So, what’s BUDDHIMAAN all about? Well, imagine getting four clues — tricky ones — that seem like they’re from four different worlds. But here’s the twist: there’s one thing that connects them all. Sounds simple? Trust me, it’s not! It’s less about what you know and more about how you think. You’ve got to dig deep, look at things differently, and find the hidden thread tying it all together.
The first time I participated, I won’t lie — I was totally lost. The clues looked like pieces of four different puzzles. I was staring at the screen thinking, “How does this even make sense?” I was this close to giving up. But something inside told me to stick with it. I started to shift my perspective, trying to find patterns and weird little connections. And then… click! It made sense. That moment — that one second of breakthrough — felt magical.
The win that time? Wow. It was so close. I submitted my answer, but I wasn’t sure I’d have nailed it. The next day, when the results were posted online, I couldn’t believe my eyes — my name was right there at the top! And then I saw the margin — I had won by just three seconds. Can you believe it? Three seconds made all the difference. That tiny gap made the whole victory feel even more thrilling, like a scene from a movie.
When I won BUDDHIMAAN for the second time, it was still tough — those clues never go easy on you — but I was different. I was more confident, more strategic. I knew I could do it because I had done it once before. That’s what BUDDHIMAAN taught me — not just how to solve puzzles, but how to solve problems in life. Break them down. Look again. Try a new angle. Don’t give up.
Sure, there were moments I was frustrated — moments when I doubted myself. But the feeling of cracking that code, of pushing through, of getting there — it made every second of struggle worth it.
Honestly, BUDDHIMAAN changed something inside me. It changed how I think. It showed me that even the toughest problems have a solution — if you’re willing to be patient, persistent, and just a little bit crazy with your ideas. And that’s something I think everyone should experience. Because it’s not just about winning or finding the right answer — it’s about learning how to think better, and more creatively.
All in all, being part of BUDDHIMAAN has been one of the most enriching adventures I’ve had. And I can’t wait to take it on again.
