The award for best international sculptor goes to Mr. KUMAR RUDRAKSH from INDIA .A proud moment not only for rudraksh but also for our country INDIA.RUDRA touch down his father’s feet and went to collect the award , he was living his dream moment.
Well now let me give you a glimpse of rudra’s early life.
He was an only son of his parents , His mother died just after he was born. He was raised by his father all alone . His father SANJEEV KUMAR was a famous sculptor of their locality making sculptors were the only source of income for them. Due to which they faced various hardships in life . Sometimes they even slept without food due to lack of money. This is how time passed and rudra turned 15 , He was a young and handsome boy now, with a passion to become the most famous sculptor in the world and make our country proud on an international platform, seeing his passion his father decided to teach him and help him achieve his goal.
One day rudra said ” Papa see I made my first art piece”. ” hmm its alright you need to work harder”, said his father leaving him disappointed. He stood up, made once again and showed his father and the same thing happened again. With days of hard work he got just one little words of appreciation, this left him discouraged making him doubt his abilities but he never gave up , he kept himself motivated and decided to prove his father wrong and genuinely dedicated his days and nights towards his goals. No matter how beautiful he made the statue, even far better than his father’s still it was not perfect for his father. His father found flaws in every single statue rudra made. HE was used to this comment that ” This is not perfect, you need to work more precisely”. And that’s how time flew by and rudra turned 23.
One day rudra got irritated and vented out his frustration on his father , he said ” YOU ARE JUST JEALOUS OF ME BEING MORE TALENTED THAN YOU , YOU ARE SO SELFISH THAT YOU DON’T WANT ME TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL AND RICH , YOU KNOW THAT PEOPLE WOULD RESPECT ME MORE THAN ANYONE , YOU ARE SUCH A HORRIBLE FATHER”, leaving his father in tears. Sanjeev JI was in shock struggling to digest his son’s harsh words, this situation was very suffocating for him he felt like dying but he knew that someday his son will come and apologize for his mistake and understand the reason behind his scolding.
After a month of extreme hard work RUDRA’s statue was nominated for being the best original sculptors. he was very happy, almost accomplished his dreams.
NOW here is the day we were all waiting for, In just few seconds winner was about to announce , rudra’s heart was beating with a speed of light.
“And the award goes to Mr. KUMAR RUDRAKSH from INDIA “. He went up collected his award and said with a bit of arrogance ” look papa you never complimented me according to you I was blot on the name of artist, see where I am standing right now”.
His father cried and said “I’m proud of you my son, I never doubted your potential I was sure that one day you will become a worldwide artist , its just that I wanted you to become a perfectionist, my constant nagging made you a very precise sculptor , Now you talk to your statues and they tell you whether its perfect or not, this level of dedication you achieved because of my scolding which had hidden lessons in it. Now i can die peacefully” saying this his father collapsed and was immediately admitted to the hospital that’s when it hit RUDRA that our parents are not wrong their way of teaching might be harsh or strict but all they want is our wellbeing.
WE should learn from RUDRA’S mistake and stop taking our parents for granted. It’s high time we expressed ourselves to them and said how grateful we are to have them . we should tell them how much we love them before it’s too late. never get upset about their strict rules and regulations , its their teachings framing us into a good human being today. So let’s join our hands together and be thankful towards our parents.

This is a beautiful story about a father and son relationship. It also tells us a lot about the Indian Society. The patriarchy existing in the country has always barred the men from displaying affection and appreciation.
In this story , Sanjeev Kumar supported his son Kumar Rudraksh’s dream to become the best sculptor in the world. He criticised his son for not a bad reason but never appreciated in him enough. This could’ve has two outcomes; the first one being the one that the story suggests and the other one being the destruction of his sanity. Many people in our country have become victims to extreme criticism and lack of love, understanding and appreciation by their own parents. This leads to self doubt , envy and low self-esteem.
Being grateful to our parents is a very important moral that we can take from the story. Rudraksh’s realisation shows the readers the effort his father had put in to make him the achiever he is today. It portrays how one should respect and make the most of the time they have with their parents because life is very uncertain. Even if they are bound and shaped by the society to be strict , we as children should know they love and care for us. If not cherished in time, we as their children would dwell in nothing but regret.
In conclusion, I would state that this is a very moralistic story and analysed carefully and also briefs the readers a lot about the Indian parenting system shaped by the society. We need to learn how to accept constructive criticism but also know when to stop criticising and start acknowledging so that it does not take a toll on a child’s mental health and confidence.
