#AYearThatWas – Inspiring Story of Kanika Bhagatia



The year 2020 and 2021 was challenging for everyone. But the most affected individuals were children, even though they were proven to be at a lower risk of contracting the virus. With no school, no outdoor play and increased screen time, no socialization, and peer association, the outcome of an ongoing pandemic had many dire mental health effects on children.





Amongst the chaos that ensued in the year gone by (almost!), there was an inspiring story of a child who showed her resilience and strength in surmounting obstacles and coming out victorious.had finally got it.


In a time when we all needed some inspiration, the 4.6-Year-Old Kanika Bhagatia was busy identifying herself to be one of the 'Youngest Cuber ". Her unmatched determination and grit led her to make history.





The story begins with the young lad who received a rubic cube (3x3) as a return gift in a birthday party, during the party she kept hours of fidgeting and fiddling with the cube, where she solved one colour of the cube all by herself- true achievement! .





Also, the movie "Saina" was an inspiration for Kanika to win many titles for herself. Her keenness to know why Saina put the medal in her mouth in the movie was a motivation to her. It felt that the Rubik’s cube was specifically designed to outfox her. Personally, HER!





The four-year-old started her training in Cubes and then continued on all the important wins in her life. By applying herself, taking breaks, resting, and starting again, she did it. Her enormous sense of achievement she felt when she saw it all come together in the final twists. Achieving things that are harder, required her to be resilient and paid dividends in the self-actualized reward. Her biggest fans are her parents Keyur Bhagatia and Priya Bhagatia, who never let her lose faith in any competition and have wholeheartedly supported her. They were determined to see their daughter rise to the top and shine.


Finding herself while she is young is very important.
