She is Always There by Ayana Kuttampalli | A Poem

Even in the cold windy nights, when you feel all alone When nothing seems to be right and you just wanna hold tight. A voice comes asking for you; A voice you wanna hear When you're all in fear and she calls you; dear, Indeed heaven falls there! No matter how far you go, No matter the people all around, the one person you would run back to, even in the midst of all storm; Yes! that's your mom! Fading away the darkness, a soft touch leading towards the brightness. She might not always be fun, but truly she loves you more than anyone. A million more you would find but not anyone so kind. When nothing seems to be at place, an inner strength arise just by looking at her face. A thousand more to say, but it'd take an entire day. God has provided more than one could ask for, she is the one who would love you to the core. If you ever think anyone would care, remember; MOM is always there! Ayana or in Latin we say 'Beautiful Flower' is a nature lover and an ardent admirer o...

Mother by Helan Jose | A Poem

Fractured bones, trembling lips, Her heart stood still—just for a glimpse. Eyes cried out, a silent wail, Breath unraveled, fragile! Within her, a breathing wonder Crossed the threshold, life tore apart. Sleepless nights, love unbound, Selflessness mirrored all around. Cracked nipples, bloodred pain, Yet in her arms, the world moves. Helan Jose holds a UG and PG degree in English Literature. Pursuing B.Ed from Pondicherry University, she nurtures a passion for literature and teaching. With a keen interest in literary studies,she aspires to inspire young minds through education.

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.

Weeping Willow by Ayana Kuttampalli | A Poem

With the outer attire; comes the inner soul. It's the appearance of mine Which makes people think of me in their days of gloom. The dead shady leaves hanging down, Carrying the weight of people judging around. A moment then comes! Portraying the divine purity of nature, A strike of reaching cloud 9! Taking me apart from the worldly chaos; A cold breeze flows taking away all my sorrows. Fluttering my dead leaves; a beautiful hope it fills. Here comes another moment! Leaving nothing to lament Striking the garden clock 11:11 I realised The awakening was straight from heaven Wiping away my sorrows, Saying goodbye to my days of gloom A ray of delight began to bloom. People still think I'm weeping Little do they know Happiness is what I'm keeping. Ayana or in Latin we say 'Beautiful Flower' is a nature lover and an ardent admirer of human thoughts and emotions. Her poetic style is as unique as every existing star in the Universe. She believes embracing every existing and ...

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...
