The T-shirt Incident.

Info

Since this is my very first attempt, I don't have much of creativity to develop one good story. I would like to start off by giving an introduction of myself. So hello readers! I am so happy you found this interesting. I will try to catch your imagination and humor you all a little throughout my journey as I keep writing something or the other. (Of course IF I do!) I added that bracket as I am a keen reader but not very sure if am just as interested in writing. Well, we'll surely find out soon enough. I've always been writing essays and paragraphs for English tests and exams since...well since i had something called Memory! But this would surely be something different as this time i wont be compelled to write something and drag on about it like "Obesity: A curse" or "Population density" just because i need to get some good marks, But i would be writing for my own conscience and satisfaction. Okay, let's get started! 

I am an average looking 16 year old. Though, I love myself at times, but to tell people, I prefer saying "Average looking". Currently battling through one of the toughest part of my education- Class 11th. For all those readers who find this amusing, I live in India and class 11th and 12th is a mental torture. I don't know about everyone else, but i would rather prefer to be locked in a room full of weird looking insects for say a night, or be told the scariest of horror stories or watch "The conjuring" in a pitch black room than be asked to pass 11th and 12th. Now I guess you can feel the intensity! 

So I have a normal family, Loving parents, a very irritating elder brother. Just kidding, he is very helpful and caring. If you ask any of my friends or acquaintances they may tell you that I am a very weird person. 

This will be clear when i tell you this: As i walked into a clothing store near my house, It was the Men's apparel Section that I saw first. I casually walked in with no idea what so ever that i was going to witness my dream come true. Not actually a "DREAM", but something like a strong wish or desire. I saw, a neatly hung red tee. It could be any random T-shirt, but only that it wasn't. It was a Big Bang Theory T-shirt! I am a huge fan of this TV series! So instinctively I grabbed it! But it was a couple of minutes later that i realized that I was standing in a Men's section. My heart sank as the thought of putting it away popped up in my mind. I hate my train of thought at times, That tiny little voice which tells you the correct and rational stuff. I kept thinking about it for a quite a while, still holding that T-shirt in my hand and not willing to let go. I wondered whether it really mattered what people thought? I mean, I loved that T-shirt! The so-called People are not asked to wear my clothes! So this should not matter to them. Very Proudly, I picked it up, went up to the cash counter and bought it. Now, I am a Proud owner of a Big Bang Theory T-shirt!  This is the part where i appear to be 'weird'. 

I think that is one hell of an introduction! I think now you guys are gonna get bored. I will sign off here. To conclude, I would like to say , Be carefree and buy whatever you like, irrespective of which section it is from. 

Cheers!

Welcome to Launchora, Apurva! I'm glad you found our little platform to share your writings. And even if you're still working on the creativity, an introduction is surely the first step in that direction. What makes this intro even better is that you ended it with nice and supportive message to your readers. Good luck with 11th and 12th grade! Speaking as someone who has been through that required-hell, I can assure you that in a few years you'll look back at this time and smile :)
