During the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, Vedanth went to stay with his grandparents at the temple town of Kanchipuram. Though he missed his school friends, attending classes online from far away was fun. His new classmate was his grandfather! He would now and then sit beside Vedanth and listen to the teacher!
It was evening and Vedanth was sitting with a worried look.
Grandpa: Vedanth, what happened? Are you not enjoying your stay here?
Vedanth: No Thatha, I love being here. But next week I have maths exam. And I don’t feel like studying at all. I think I’ll surely fail. Maths is such a difficult subject and so boring. What a problem!
Grandpa: Complexities of problems are simplified with the very first step — the intent to solve!
