   Standing Up For Yourself Summery To conquer my fear of Red, I trained with parallel bars and weights, slowly building my muscles. I recalled a book about ju-jitsu, a Japanese wrestling method that helps the weak defeat the strong. I traded a week’s ration card for a ju-jitsu textbook and practiced at home with two friends for three weeks. Then, I faced Red, who was playing cards with his lieutenants in our yard. Despite my fear, I kicked their cards, challenging him. Red, surprised, stood up and reached for his knuckle-duster, but I used a ju-jitsu move, jabbing him and making him collapse in pain. When he charged again, I grabbed his wrist, squeezed until he dropped the knuckle-duster, and he fell, crying. That day, Red lost his power over our street. I learned I didn’t need to fear the strong if I knew how to beat them with ju-jitsu, and that being a poet meant not just writing poems but also standing up for them. ଏହାର ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଅନୁବାଦ — Redଙ୍କୁ ନେଇ ମୋର ଭୟକୁ ଜିତିବା ପାଇଁ, ମୁଁ ...

 To overcome my fear of Red, I wrote a poem about him, my first piece of journalism in verse. By the next day, everyone on the street knew it and loved it, filled with hateful glee. One morning, on my way to school, Red and his lieutenants confronted me. His piercing eyes mocked me as he said, “Ah, the poet,” with a crooked smile, asking if my verses rhymed. Then, he pulled out his knuckle-duster, struck my head, and I fell, bleeding and unconscious—my first “reward” as a poet. I spent days in bed recovering. When I went out, head still bandaged, I saw Red again. Despite trying to be brave, I panicked and ran home. There, I lay on my bed, ashamed and furious at my cowardice, determined to conquer it no matter what. ରେଡ୍‌ ପ୍ରତି ମୋର ଭୟକୁ ଜିତିବା ପାଇଁ, ମୁଁ ତା’ ବିଷୟରେ ଗୋଟିଏ କବିତା ଲେଖିଲି—ଏହା ଥିଲା କବିତାରେ ଲେଖା ମୋର ପ୍ରଥମ ସାମ୍ବାଦିକ କାମ। ପରବର୍ତ୍ତୀ ଦିନ, ଗଲିରେ ସମସ୍ତେ ଏହାକୁ ଜାଣିଲେ ଏବଂ ପ୍ରେମ କଲେ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଏହି ପ୍ରେମ ଥିଲା ଘୃଣାଭରା ଆନନ୍ଦ ସହିତ। ଗୋଟେ ସକାଳେ, ବିଦ୍ୟାଳୟକୁ ଯାଉଥିବା ବେଳେ, ରେଡ୍‌ ଓ ତା’ର ସହକାରୀମା...
