By Arvind Dewangan Unity is great quality of human beings. By this is meant the accord of different minds for a common end. There can be no concert if the different persons with their musical instruments are not of the same mind. If they play on their instruments as they like, there will be only chaos and confusion but no harmony. As in the case of musical instruments so in the case of all other affairs, unity of purpose is indispensably necessary. This alone enable us to pro

By Arvind Dewangan Introduction  India, the world’s largest democracy and one of the fastest-growing economies, stands today at a critical juncture in its journey. The dream of a “Viksit Bharat” or “Developed India” is not merely a slogan but the collective vision of 1.4 billion citizens who aspire to see their nation rise as a global leader by the centenary of its independence in 2047. A developed India is envisioned as a country that is economically strong, socially equitab

By Ashaq Hussain Wani Society is a great chain of human relationships where thousands and millions of people live with different abilities. In his own place, where every skilled and talented person belonging to different profession has a special and unique position in society, the teacher related to teaching profession is also highly respected. As we know that the establishment of a civilized human society has not come into existence automatically, but for the construction of

By Ashaq Hussain Wani Human population is an important element of nation and without population the existence of nation is impossible. Along with population, the nation also needs a definite territory where people not only settle but also use its natural resources for survival. Therefore as long as the territory is rich in natural resources, definitely the population of that nation will be seen wealthy, energetic and prosperous.

By Anshul Purvia I don’t even know why I’m writing this. Maybe because I can’t say it out loud. Maybe because if I do, it’ll sound too real, and I don’t think I can survive that kind of truth right now. It’s 3:07 a.m. The fan is making that same humming sound it always does, and the world is too quiet. My head isn’t. It’s loud. It’s always loud. Thoughts spinning, replaying, repeating like a broken record that won’t shut up. I keep thinking…maybe the only things that ever sta

By Anshul Purvia Sometimes I look in the mirror and I don’t recognize the person looking back. She smiles too easily, nods too often, apologizes even when she hasn’t done anything wrong. There’s something hollow behind her eyes, something tired that no amount of sleep can fix. I stare and wonder when she became this version of me. When did I stop living for myself and start existing for everyone else? I used to think I was kind. I used to believe that being nice meant being g

By Myra Agarwal I love writing. Not the glossy kind with metaphors polished like cathedral windows, not the slow-burn novels that make you kick your feet. I mean writing . The kind where your hands hurt from typing too fast and you forget to eat because your brain is too occupied. But I am fourteen, and the world is moving faster than I can grow up. I am fourteen, and AI is already writing the headlines I ache to write. This is a hate article. A love letter to AI with blood o

By Myra Agarwal They don’t warn you about mangoes. Not the kind that taste like June and memory, not the kind that ruin your appetite for anything else. No one tells you that love can be like this — yellow, golden, thick, dripping down your hands — impossible to hold without making a mess. He was like that. Sweet in the center, a little tangy around the edges, and gone far too soon. When we were together, it was all sugary, sweet. Even the arguments felt warm. He’d say my nam

By Ananya Misra We’ve been told a story. A story that pits progress against the planet. A narrative that says: if you choose development, you must sacrifice the environment. And if you choose to save the environment, you must give up progress. This — is a false conflict. Let’s set the record straight. Development has never been the villain. It is not development that poisons our rivers, pollutes our air, or wipes out our forests. It is our greed. Our ignorance. Our reckless d

By Aranya Mandal One day, when the sun in all its glory adorned the skies blue, clouds like snow hung overhead and the gentle caress of the breeze of early summer danced through the forests, I witnessed the place that would be my home, my abode, the place where I wish my flesh and bones, or ashes perhaps, one day shall rest, in the lap of the greenery and under the stars of night when the sun sets. A place of serenity, of memories, of joyous days, of simplicity, of a time dev

By Jacob James Grigware The smaller the body the easier it is for a ripple to reflect chaos.  Imagine a still lake. The beauty and complexity of the sky is near-perfectly reflected in its surface. When looking at the moon in this lake, it is focused. Then a fish jumps, the wind gusts, a boulder crashes, and waves are made. There is nothing one can do to stop the fish from jumping, or the wind from gusting, or the boulder from crashing. Despite wants or wishes or exhaustive ef

By Jacob James Grigware and you’ve got the lead role. The play you’re currently starring in could be anything. It could be a comedy, a romance, a tragedy, a musical, for Christ's sake. It could be the longest god damn show ever, with little time for bathroom or popcorn breaks. It could also be short. Really short.  Characters within your show will come and go. More than likely, one or two or even a few will die. Their roles as family, friends, enemies, lovers, and even comic

By Ella Kang As academic expectations drastically increased over the past decades, academic pressure on students have also augmented. As a result, students have been seeking new methods to enhance their academic performances: taking orally consumed ADHD pills, namely, Adderall. Being one of the most commonly diagnosed mental disorders, Attention Deficit or Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) causes several symptoms: difficulty in paying attention to one task, struggle to keep onese

By Ella Kang Most high school students, regardless of race or background, grind their sweat and soul, looking forward to one thing: college. Yet, prestigious colleges, where these dreamers pursue the most, require many qualifications from their applicants. These generally include high achieving grades and test results from nationwide tests such as ACT, SAT, AP, and IB tests. However, doing well on these exams are not good enough since colleges also look for elements such as a

By Brittany Lieteau Nutter Butters hold a sacred place in my heart. This cookie symbolizes my family dynamic. Two crunchy beige cookies, with four striations running along the top, and intersecting jagged lines to imply the texture of a real peanut. These are my parents, my foundation. Two light-skinned African American individuals who grew up post-civil rights era, but still faced adversity while growing up Black in South Central Los Angeles. They both persevered and carried

By Aashi Singh “ Hey ChatGPT, write me an essay about thinking for ourselves. ” That single line could easily create this very essay — fast, polished, efficient. But sometimes, I pause mid-sentence and wonder:  if AI can think for me, what’s left for me to think about? It was a Sunday evening, couple of months back, the day before an English essay was due. My iPad glowed softly in the dark. I stared at the blinking cursor and whispered to myself, “Just ask ChatGPT.” One click

By Asmi Mukhopadhyay We love to see the beautiful nature—blue sky, glistening sunlight, green trees, flowing rivers, captivating flowers, beautiful butterflies. But have we ever tried to be as compassionate as nature? We forget to have a broad mind as the sky, forget to glisten our heart as the sun, forget to be supportive as trees, receptive as water, selfless as flowers, and to open the wings of freedom as butterflies. Yes… we forget everything. We could not listen to the p
