लक्ष्य प्राप्त करना

You can use this in almost any setting. Use it when talking about your career. Use it when discussing your fitness journey. Even use it when you finally finish that 1000-piece puzzle. In a sentence, you usually say 'Maine apna lakshya prapt kar liya' (I have achieved my goal). It sounds polished and determined. It makes you sound like someone who knows what they want.

Use it during job interviews to impress the boss. Use it in graduation speeches or when celebrating a big win. It’s perfect for LinkedIn posts or professional emails. You can also use it when encouraging a friend. Tell them, 'Tum apna lakshya zaroor prapt karoge' (You will definitely achieve your goal). It adds a touch of gravity and sincerity to your support.

Don't use it for very tiny, accidental things. If you found a five-dollar bill on the street, that's not a lakshya. If you finally found matching socks, it’s a bit too dramatic. Using it for mundane tasks might make you sound like a motivational speaker at a grocery store. Keep it for things that actually required a plan. Also, avoid it in very slang-heavy street talk where 'kar dikhaya' (did it) fits better.

In Indian culture, the concept of a lakshya is deeply rooted. Think of the ancient archer Arjuna from the Mahabharata. His only focus was the eye of the bird. This phrase carries that weight of 'one-pointed focus'. Modern India is highly competitive, especially in education and cricket. You will hear this phrase constantly in schools and sports academies. It’s the ultimate 'gold star' of verbal praise.

You might hear manzil pana (reaching the destination) in songs or poetry. In business, people often say target achieve karna using English loanwords. However, lakshya prapt karna remains the classic, most respected version. If you want to sound more poetic, use lakshya bhedna (piercing the target). For a more casual vibe, just say kaam ho gaya (the work is done).
