Bibim Guksu (Korean Cold Noodle Salad):

A flavorful and refreshing cold noodle salad is called bibim guksu. Korean chili dressing, which is hot, sweet, and acidic, is used to season it. It is both delicious and addicting. You can receive a lot of crunchy texture because it is packed with salads and vegetables. Additionally, it doesn't require any difficult cooking or preparation, which is a major plus on hot summer days.

Similar to bibimbap, which is mixed rice, bibim guksu indicates mixed noodles. You can ultimately choose your own toppings, but this bibim guksu is cooked with a tonne of vegetables. Even though it appears heavy when served, it is actually quite light and filling. Its main flavour comes from the sauce, which has a mildly smoky, sweet, and tangy flavor. The sesame oil's nutty aroma is also a great addition.

 In Korea, bibim guksu is a favourite summer dish because it may revive your hunger on sleepy, hot, and muggy summer days. The toppings can be changed anyway you like, for example by adding some cooked eggs or radish pickles.

New Dawn, New Blooms by Angel Mary | A Poem

A sudden gleam appeared, as I wandered in vain, Feeling like solitude, a cool breeze stirred in the quiet air, As the tides rise and fall, I endure like a beacon of light, Trapped in silence, the bird longs for the sky, I yearn to fly, Each bud that blooms whispers a promise, a hope reborn in every petal's grace, As the night grows deeper, moon beams brightly with a gentle smile, With every step I take, I carry the spirit of resilience… Angel Mary born in Kasaragod, Kerala is a dedicated poet with a deep passion for capturing the beauty of nature and the power of hope through her words.

Hope is not a Losing Game by Amaan Khan | An essay

"Hope is not a losing game'' Amaan Khan Yesterday, I visited a stationary shop from where I used to get my school supplies often when I was in school. To put it in perspective, I went back there after six years to get a pack of ruled sheets for my little brother. I felt a strange sense of familiarity, Even though the shop's interior had been changed, I remembered how my eyes used to wander, scanning the whole shop, yearning for new pens, supplies, and other stuff that could be afforded with a note of fifty rupees or less because that was my financial ceiling. I would wait for opportunities to just get there, now looking back I realize, how my delight drive would have been fulfilled with a mere purchase of my cherished blue gel pen. The stationary part of my life is just one bit, there are several other pockets, which I filled back then with my curiosity, another memory I recall, the time when I saw an advertisement for martial arts classes which was somewhere in my loc...

Art of Teaching: A Hope to Hear the Youth Communicate | Ashima Syal

Teaching is an Art, and to keep the artistry alive is the challenge which the current educational scenario brings. With the advent of AI and other technological hacks, knowledge seems to pronounce itself with the ease of availability and accessibility. This resorting to the quick arena of the internet, is what is keeping the GENZ’s of today away from using their creativity, their minds potential to the fullest. The teachers of today no longer embrace chalk and duster, they make use of white digitized boards. With a nominal attention span of students, activity-based learning is the requirement of skill-based teaching. The size of a class being of a giant eighty and with youth, which is only distracted, teachers find it the most challenging when they give an experiential classroom task to students, to gauge their learning, the students struggle hard to complete it, they find it challenging to put their own perspective in front, they at once become restless and resort to AI for answers.

Blue by Siljiya Francis | A Poem

Gliding through the whispers of the wind and wrestling with weather extremes beneath the shadowy canopy she stumbled upon a hidden gem. A soft glow of belonging enveloped her heart as she enveloped it, she breathed a single word :Blue For a whispered promise of time, it was hers to hold.. As she winged with happiness, whispers of Blue slipped her mind. The melody of her life skipped a beat she yearned for Blue . She scanned over the whispers of trees and lappy waves, the river's breeze carried echo's from the past, she stumbled upon Blue on a river bank....yet, it was altered. She bathed it in the river's golden light, the same whispered promise echoed in her. Yet, with the sense of rising tides a gentle breeze of feeling nestled in her Blue... where she found her missing pieces She is a holder of Degree and Masters in English Language and Literature.

Silent Reverie by Dr Nina Apra | A Poem

In the hush of twilight’s golden hue, lie whispers of words I never knew. Laughter unsung, tears unseen, stories lost in the space between. A hand half-raised, a glance held back, a love unspoken in the silent track. Smiles that trembled, afraid to stay, like fireflies lost in the break of day. The letters I wrote but never sent, folded in corners where memories went. Promises drowned in the weight of pride, hearts that knocked but stayed outside. In the hush of the quiet night, echoes of the unsaid burn so bright. For what was silent was never gone, it hums in the heart, it lingers on. It lingers on in the winds that sigh, in tear-streaked moons and a wistful sky. In the rustle of leaves, in the hush of rain, in melodies born from unshed pain. It hums in footsteps left behind, in empty rooms, in echoes blind. A touch imagined, a name half-spoke, a thread unbroken, yet never woke. The silence sings its part, a hidden verse in a weary heart. For though the words were left untold, their ...
