JEE and NEET, finding the equilibrium between academic rigor and extracurricular activities remains a daunting challenge. As the entrance exams loom large on the horizon, students across India find themselves grappling with a common dilemma: how to effectively manage their preparations while still participating in sports and extracurricular activities. Balancing academic commitments with other interests is indeed a daunting task, but with careful planning and smart strategies, it is possible to excel in both realms. The Challenge of Balance Many believe that neglecting extracurricular activities can result in a lackluster personality. This underscores the importance of finding a balance between education and leisure pursuits. However, not all leisure activities are created equal. Mindless activities like binge-watching TV or endlessly scrolling through social media offer little in terms of personal growth. On the other hand, engaging in mindful pursuits such as sports or reading not only rejuvenates the mind but also contributes to overall well-being.

Dommaraju Gukesh is tired. After three weeks of gruelling chess that ended in him becoming the youngest ever Candidates champion, all he wants to do is rest. But ever since he returned home after winning the Candidates – the second most-important chess tournament after the World Championship – celebrations haven’t stopped. Dutifully, he has done everything asked of him with a smile and not said no to anyone. Gukesh took some time out of his busy schedule to speak with BORIA MAJUMDAR. Excerpts You are the Candidates champion at the age of 17. The youngest ever to win the tournament. Has that sunk in yet? Not really. We are longing for some rest and for things to settle down. Once that happens, I think the realisation will sink in. I haven’t really had time to process things yet. When your father came running to give you the news, what was it like? Can you relive the moment once please? I was watching the Fabi-Nepo (Fabiano Caruana vs Ian Nepomniachtchi) match for a while and at one point I got really nervous. So, I stepped outside for a walk with (Polish grandmaster and Gukesh’s trainer Grzegorz) Gajewski. We were chatting when my father came running and said that I had won.

social media generation. It came into existence during my coaching career. For me to identify and understand this is difficult at times. However, for athletes of this generation, who have grown up immersed in social media, things are different. For instance, I see a lot of athletes immediately get on social media after a match. In my view it is a very important time to reflect on the match and evaluate performance. But, many young athletes seem overly concerned with the likes and comments on social media. This can have a negative impact on their performance. MS Dhoni once wisely remarked, “It is important to play the sport and leave the rest to take care of itself.” That’s how it should be. In this age of social media overdrive, it is important that we keep distractions at bay and focus on the things we are good at. In my case, I know how to coach, how to help players improve. Whenever I face challenges, I go back to the basics and do what I know best. It has always yielded positive outcomes. With continuous abuse heaped on us, we lose hope. Losing hope and motivation is the worst thing that can happen to us. Our enemies say things to us in a way that we are forced to give up and lose the motivation that has made us who we are. You cannot let your enemies push you into a position where you are forced to give up. The moot point is that as professionals, we have a certain set of skills. It is important we continue to use those skills and do what we know.
