Brief about the topic
The story ‘The Race‘ by an Indian writer, Nisha Punjabi has a charming power. Tarun, a school boy is the central character of the story. He was a mediocre student, was always blamed by his parents for his low grades and tardy nature. He was called a black sheep or a good for nothing fellow but he had an intense wish to be a fast runner. He gave vent to his better feelings by running. On one such occasion, he accidentally met a veteran athlete and coach, Ram Narayan, who identified his talent in running and agreed to train him if he won the race on Children’s day. But unfortunately, during the race Tarun slipped many times and could not win. Still everyone praised him for his strong determination to complete the race despite many obstacles.
