1. Welcome to my
museum of personal
experiences
HARDIK PUROHIT

2. 1.Holding Fluffy for the first time
 The moment I held Fluffy, my dog for
the first time was definitely a life
changing moment for me.
 That was the moment I realized how
unconditional my love for him was and
later on with time I realized how
unconditionally our parents love us and
how much they have sacrificed for us
 That was the moment I felt responsible
for a life. This experience definitely had
to be first in the list.

3. 2. PREDESTINATION
 Predestination is a science fiction
movie based on time-travel which
makes you scratch your head after
you complete the movie.
 Predestination is about a man who
discovers time travel and basically
travels through time only to love,
marry, give birth and also kill himself.
 This movie blew my mind and since
this movie my perspective towards life
has totally changed and I do question
reality sometimes.

4. 3. Match against Orange FC
 I used to play football for a club and
we had participated in Mumbai
Games, a tournament where clubs
across the city takes part.
 I was in the starting line up and was
very excited and happy to play the
semifinals, but because I didn’t warm
up well, I pulled my hamstring.
 Didn’t I only miss that game but
couldn’t play for the whole week
which resulted in me missing the
finals too.
 I can never forget this experience ever
in my life.
 This experience taught me how not to
ignore the little but important things
that your teachers and coach tell you.

5. 4.Dad listing down expenses
 During the winter vacations of 2016, one
night when I had gone to sleep early my
dad was listing down the expenses that
were made and that were to be made.
 I woke up at midnight only to see this
and get shocked by the fact that none
of them was spent on him and was all
spent on rest of the family.
 Since that night I have realized how
much our parents sacrifice for us and
don’t even let us know about those
sacrifices
 I started respecting and idol worshiping
my dad to the peak since this moment
and will always be grateful to him.

6. 5. Fluffy’s forgiveness
 During this Diwali loads of crackers were
bursting and dogs getting scared by this
goes hand in hand.
 I had to complete my homework and
study for my exams but couldn’t do it
because my dog couldn’t stop barking
out of fear.
 A lot was going through my mind at
that moment and I shouted at him and
also hit him with a pillow.
 He was sad and crying the whole
evening but forgave me the moment he
saw me.
 This shows how egoistic we humans are
and how have we created these
imaginary walls of self respect, ego,
grudge and revenge.
 This has completely changed the way I
think and look at things.

7. 6. Halla Bol Song
 This song is very close to my heart.
Whenever I feel dejected this song
motivates me to complete the task.
 It gives me energy while playing.

8. 7. Family should always be your
priority
 One day I was talking to my dad
about my friends and he made me
realize something I’ll never forget.
 He made me count all of my closest
friends from the past 10 years, he
added none of them except 2 are with
you right now.
 Because of certain reasons they might
not be as close to you as they are
right now.
 A group of 4 people was always there
with you during these 10 years which
is your Family.
 Never cancel plans with your family
for your friends, he added because
family was always there for you and
will always be.

9. 8. Playing football
 I feel blessed to understand and play
the beautiful game.
 Playing football is like an escape from
the world and running away from all
the problems.
 At the same time it’s also good for
your heart, body and mind.

10. 9. Playing PES
 PES mobile helps me get rid of all the
worries and stress that I have and this
is a game I’m above average at.
 I love the beautiful game of football
and therefore I prefer PES over any
other mobile video game.

11. 10. Blood test
 It was the start of 2021 and I fell very
sick, later on we carried out a blood
test which was an eye opener for me.
 Everything in my blood was messed
up and that was the moment I took an
oath to live a healthy life.
 Started following a very healthy diet,
put on 6Kgs of weight and I started
exercising daily.
 I love the healthy life that I live now
and I’m proud of taking this decision.
