Gukesh, The new World Chess Champion!

The world is celebrating the incredible achievement of Mr. Gukesh D, who has made history by winning the FIDE World Chess Championship at just 18 years old. Social media is overflowing with praise and admiration for this young champion, and rightfully so. His victory is a proud moment for India and chess enthusiasts worldwide. Gukesh’s hard work, dedication, and sheer brilliance have brought him to this pinnacle of success.

However, amidst all the celebration, an interesting observation comes to mind. While everyone is now showering him with congratulations, there seemed to be little noise before the championship began. Few, if any, posts were seen wishing him good luck or cheering him on before he stepped into this monumental challenge. This highlights a sad reality of life—success is celebrated loudly, but the effort leading up to it often goes unnoticed.

Gukesh’s victory is undoubtedly remarkable, but it is important to remember that such achievements are built on countless hours of preparation, determination, and perseverance. The world tends to focus on results rather than the journey. As we celebrate his triumph today, let us also take a moment to acknowledge the immense effort he must have put in over the years to reach this stage.

Kudos to Gukesh D for his historic victory and appreciation for Ding Liren’s formidable challenge! May their journeys inspire us not only to celebrate success but also to recognize and support the hard work that goes into achieving greatness.

One year at Tesco!

Exactly one year ago on this date, I joined Tesco as a Colleague. Since then, Tesco has played a crucial role in my life as a student in UK. It has been more than just a job; it has been a supportive environment that helped me focus on my goals and provided a world I enjoyed beyond the academic realm.

During this time, I've had the privilege of working with three incredible managers: Steve, Dave, and Jay. Their guidance and leadership have been invaluable to my growth. I am also grateful to Ethan and John, my shift leaders, whose support and encouragement have made every shift enjoyable.

I have been fortunate to work alongside a fantastic group of colleagues like Craig, Alistair, Zain, Erin, Eve, Lewis, Lynsey, Stuart, and many others. Each of them has contributed to making my experience at Tesco memorable and rewarding.

Thank you, Tesco, for being an integral part of my life. Every little helps, indeed.
