Arjun and Pratyush had been best friends for as long as they could remember. They shared one dream to win the biggest F1 race in the country. Pratyush was a natural behind the wheel. He could drift around corners with great ease. His sharp reflexes only added to his skill. Everyone believed he had the talent to win the race but there was one problem. He was always late. He wasn’t disciplined enough to take things seriously.
Arjun wasn’t the driver, but he was the youngest mechanic at the academy. He would spend hours checking the engine and the tires, making sure every bolt was in place.
Two weeks before the race, the coach called for a meeting. As always, Pratyush was late, and the coach was so angry that he said,
“No discipline, no race.”
Arjun came up with a plan. The next morning, he went to Pratyush’s house and woke him up personally. Though annoyed, Pratyush managed to get out of bed and get ready for practice.
Day 3: When Arjun reached Pratyush’s house, Pratyush was already waiting for him at the door. Arjun was thrilled to see him taking things seriously.
By Day 7: When Arjun arrived, Pratyush had already finished his workout and was ready in his racing suit. The coach observed the changes in his attitude and invited him back onto the team.
Final Day: The race began, and Pratyush was neck and neck with the other drivers. The atmosphere was tense. But when he crossed the finish line, the crowd went wild.
Pratyush hugged Arjun and said, “We did it, bro!”
The End
Pratyush was heartbroken and left the meeting.
“I’ve got the skills! Why is everyone so obsessed with time?” he exclaimed.
Arjun explained to Pratyush that time was crucial without it on his side, he couldn’t become the racer he wanted to be.
