"Have Empathy & compassion for all living beings, rich and poor alike; each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little "- Gautam Buddha

Words from the National Award winner, Nilanjana Sutradhar, XI (Humanities) in National Reel/ Video Challenge under Vikshit Bharat.

My Journey of Determination: A Dream That Became A Reality

I have always believed that dreams come true when they are supported by hard work, determination, and faith. Writing has always been my passion. Through my words, I have wanted to inspire people, especially young students, to believe in themselves and never give up on their dreams.

In February 2026, while preparing for my Class X Board Examination, I came across a government competition on Instagram. Although my board exams were approaching, I decided to participate without letting fear stop me. I carefully prepared my entry, recorded my video, and uploaded it on Instagram as instructed. The appreciation and encouragement I received motivated me to keep believing in myself.

A few months later, in June 2026, I received an official call informing me that I had been selected for the national award ceremony in New Delhi. It was one of the happiest moments of my life. On 28th June, I boarded my first flight from Bagdogra to Delhi with my father. From the very beginning of the journey, every arrangement—including travel, accommodation, food, and local transportation—was provided by the Government. We stayed at Banga Bhavan, the West Bengal State Guest House, where many distinguished guests and dignitaries were also staying.

The night before the ceremony was unforgettable. Although I could hardly sleep because of excitement, I eagerly looked forward to the next day. On 29th June, I wore a saree for the first time by myself. I chose to wear my mother's saree because I wanted to carry her blessings and feel her presence throughout this memorable occasion.

The award ceremony was held in the New Parliament building, where I had the honour of receiving my award from Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Union Minister of Rural Development and Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare. Receiving the award in such a prestigious place was a dream come true. Along with the award, I received a certificate, a cash prize of ₹65,000, and a commemorative gift. Standing on that stage, I felt proud not only for myself but also for my family, my school, my teachers, and my state, West Bengal.

During the ceremony, I had the opportunity to meet several respected national leaders and dignitaries. I also learned many valuable lessons by observing the discipline, confidence, and professionalism of the people present. Every interaction taught me something new about leadership, communication, and responsibility.

One memorable incident happened during the tea break when Shri Dilip Ghosh spoke to me and encouraged me to continue serving society and to consider leadership in the future. His encouraging words gave me even more confidence to work hard and contribute positively to society.

The entire experience was unforgettable. I was accompanied by security personnel throughout the event, and every arrangement was made with great care. The warmth and respect shown by everyone made me feel honoured and deeply grateful.

The following day, I returned to Bagdogra by flight. As I landed, I was overwhelmed to see so many people waiting to welcome me. My teachers, friends, relatives, neighbours, and well-wishers greeted me with bouquets, flowers, sweets, and endless blessings. Members of the media interviewed me, and several newspapers and news channels covered my achievement.

Many respected personalities from my locality, including members of the Panchayat, the DSP, and other distinguished guests, visited my home to congratulate me. Their blessings and kind words made this achievement even more special.

The most emotional moment of my journey was seeing my mother waiting for me with tears of happiness in her eyes. My father's proud smile reminded me of every sacrifice my parents had made for my dreams. At that moment, I realised that this achievement belonged not only to me but to my entire family.

This achievement would never have been possible without my parents and my teachers. My parents always stood beside me, believed in me, and encouraged me to keep moving forward. My teachers guided me at every stage of my life. Sometimes they appreciated me, and sometimes they corrected or scolded me when I needed guidance. At that time, I did not always understand the reason behind their words, but today I realise that every lesson they taught me helped shape my character, discipline, and confidence. Whatever I am today is because of their blessings, guidance, and constant support.

I also thank my friends, relatives, neighbours, and every person who believed in me and celebrated my success. Their encouragement has inspired me to dream even bigger and work even harder.

To every young person reading this, I want to say that each one of you have unique talent and unlimited potential. Never underestimate yourself. Keep exploring your abilities, remain curious, work with dedication, and never be afraid of failure. Every great achievement begins with one small step taken with courage.

Finally, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my parents, my teachers, my school, and everyone who has been part of my journey. Their love, guidance, and blessings have shaped my life. I hope my story inspires others to dream fearlessly, work sincerely, and believe that with determination, faith, and perseverance, even the biggest dreams can become reality.

The role of empathy in a healthy society

Individualism, or having one's own worth as well as creating an image of oneself, devoid of anyone else's participation, has been a fundamental notion of human nature. However, this notion of an individualistic thought process has many ensuing repercussions. Commonly, alienation, signs of narcissism, and an overestimation of one's worth arise. However, in some cases, individualism proves to be a boon for one's professional career. Although the need for coexistence still remains, with this need for symbiosis with fellow humans comes the essential necessity of empathy.

Empathy is an emotion, preferably a higher form of sympathy, in which one feels someone else's emotions. Mere sympathy without action leads to social shortcomings. Stepping up to aid someone is humane. Kindness is free of cost; however, the satisfaction it provides is immeasurable. One smile, one "thank you," or one act of appreciation means the entire world to someone. In the words of the late Michael Jackson, "To love and be loved" is a straightforward ideology dedicated to loving and healing one another.

No amount of weight compares to lifting another fellow human being up. Kindness is to be cultivated, not forced. Love those who need it, and even those who don't. The culture of toxic loneliness will be eradicated once love fills the world with its eternal kindness.

Sleep - The Most Underrated Health Habit

In the contemporary world, the issues of late-night scrolling, academic pressure paired with chronic fatigue, and stress have assumed alarming proportions. A closer look at this crisis reveals a grim conclusion—insomnia.

It is a universally accepted fact that our cognitive abilities—brain repair, sharper concentration, and memory retention—are closely tied to sleep.

The far-reaching repercussions are not only physical and mental fatigue but also deep hormonal imbalance, weakened immunity, impaired tissue repair, heightened anxiety levels, skyrocketing stress, and the worsening of mood.

Complacency is no longer an option, as this is a direct hit to our physical vitality as well as our emotional stability. The antidote to prevent these repercussions is seven to eight hours of deep, regular, and uninterrupted sleep in a dark room for true relaxation and maximum productivity. Applying this simple yet extremely powerful formula to our day-to-day lives is the only way we can envision a bright future for our health.

The Role of Empathy in a Healthy Society

In the modern world , we observe rising individualism. Digital isolation has become so common , we barely notice. Empathy and connection — the core values of a society — are lost. Empathy is the ability to genuinely understand each other. But today, it is unfortunately replaced by mere sympathy.

We , as a society, need to build inclusivity , resolve our conflicts , and break prejudices that hold us back. For all of these changes to ever happen , empathy is pivotal. Social healing needs more of our attention. As the youth of the modern world , we must also understand how to invest the same empathy , even in mental wellness.

It involves active listening, a supportive environment, reduced toxic loneliness and choosing to be a little kinder every single day. Developing and empathetic youth is essential for building a better future and a brighter world.

However, this cannot happen without our conscious efforts. They do not have to be grand gestures or declarations or show of empathy. They can be simple , daily actions or words that can reflect it.

A few words of gratitude , being a little more understanding , learning to care for the feelings of the people around us , and genuinely trying to be happy with ourselves. A huge part of our efforts comes from how much we love ourselves and then , from the fact that we should treat others the way we would like to be treated.

Creating a loving , healthy and warm environment around is not a very big deal. It only takes a pinch of kindness and a table spoon of empathy. The youth can try to cultivate in themselves the basic values of humanity and love for another. Because when we start trying to build a better world, we should know that the world has already taken a big step towards being better.

Therefore, empathy has a much bigger role in developing a healthy society than we can fathom.

And on that note let us all promise ourselves to be a better youth for a better , healthier and kinder society.

THE BURNING HOUSE

Loving you was not the toughest part , but it felt like living in a burning house.

I stayed I choked .. departing from you wasn't an act of betrayal..
but an act of survival.

The burning house was not the issue
if we were together..but I was there all alone ..

And the strangest part was, you know that I was there ..
but no hand reached me to help.

My prayers, my blessings and my love
all perished with me inside that house.

Therefore, for the act of survival..
I am leaving the house ..

Mrs. Deepa Dey

You are more....

Beneath the books and silent stares,
Behind the grades and classroom chairs,
A mind may tremble, tired and worn—
A heart may ache, a soul feels torn.

The weight of dreams, the fear to fail,
The voice that whispers, “You're too frail,”
Can drown the joy of learning's light
And turn bright days to sleepless nights.

But pause, dear student—take a breath,
Your worth is not your score or test.
You are not numbers, ranks, or praise,
You are a sun in cloudy haze.

It’s brave to cry, to speak, to share,
To say out loud, “I need some care.”
The strongest hearts are those that feel
And know its human wounds must heal.

So rest when tired, don’t run the race
At someone else’s hurried pace.
There’s more to life than just a grade—
You’re more than all the marks you’ve made.

Let kindness be your quiet guide,
With friends or help close by your side.
You’re not alone, though storms may swell—
There's strength in asking, “Are you well?”

Small Things Matter

When days grow heavy with work and noise,
And worries steal away simple joys,
I pause a while beneath the sky
and watch the clouds go drifting by
A quiet moment,calm and free,
can clear mind so easity.
The smallest things we often miss
May hold the key to simple bliss.

We shape our lives by what we do,
By words we speak and dreams pursue.
By jelping hands and hearts that care,
by kindness offered everywhere.
A bright world begins to start,
with little changes in the hearty.

KARGIL VIJAY DIWAS

Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated across India every year on July 26 to honor the historic victory of the Indian Armed Forces in the 1999 Kargil War. Named after the successful military action "Operation Vijay," this day marks the occasion when Indian soldiers successfully reclaimed the strategic mountain peaks in the Kargil district of Ladakh from Pakistani infiltrators who had secretly crossed the Line of Control (LoC).

The conflict began in May 1999 and was fought under extraordinarily difficult conditions. Pakistani troops occupied high-altitude positions like Tiger Hill and Tololing, looking down at the vital Srinagar-Leh Highway. Despite facing freezing sub-zero temperatures, steep cliffs, and relentless enemy fire, the Indian Army, strongly supported by the Indian Air Force's "Operation Safed Sagar," fought bravely for nearly 60 days.By July 26, 1999, India successfully evicted the intruders and recaptured all occupied territories. This victory came at a heavy cost, as 527 brave Indian soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice for the country. Heroes like Captain Vikram Batra and Captain Manoj Kumar Pandey were awarded the Param Vir Chakra for their legendary courage.

Today, Kargil Vijay Diwas stands as a powerful symbol of national pride, unity, and patriotism. The nation pays tribute to the fallen martyrs at the Kargil War Memorial in Dras and the National War Memorial in New Delhi, inspiring every citizen to value and protect the nation's freedom.

INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP DAY

"Friends are the families we choose for ourselves"

As we overcome the complexities of modern life -- whether it's dealing with harsh days or celebrating personal triumphs --the bond we forge with our friends continue to be a source of joy , strength and comfort.

Friendship, especially among young people, carries a profound power. It can cross languages, beliefs, traditions that might otherwise divide us. It invites us to listen before we judge, to stay when it's easier to walk away.

Humans are social creatures who create one of the most beautiful bond in their life - friendship. It has its root on trust, laughter, support that becomes unforgettable memories that remain etched in our hearts forvever. The support we receive from genuine friends is ineffable.Their presence and support during both joyful and difficult transform the rough road of life.

So, in this year's observance of International Day Of Friendship, let us appreciate the people who stand by us and make even ordinary days special with their presence.

Flag Adoption Day

When we think of a country , what comes first in our mind? It is often the country's flag. Our country has a very interesting history when it comes to the adoption of the National Flag. On 22nd July 1947 the constituent assembly adopted our Tiranga. Henceforth , it had been proclaimed the Flag Adoption Day. But before it came to exist as we see it today, the National Flag went through a series of trials and changes.

The Calcutta Flag of 1906 , featured red ,yellow , and green stripes with eight lotuses , a sun, a crescent moon and the Vande Mataram inscribed in the centre. In 1907 , a similar flag was unfurled by Madam Bhikaji Cama but it represented the seven stars. A new design was presented during the Home Rule by Annie Besant and Lokmanya Tilak. However , it featured five red and four green alternating horizontal stripes, seven stars, a crescent moon, and the British Union Jack in the corner.

In 1921 The Bezwada Flag was designed by Pingali Venkayya and presented to Mahatma Gandhi; it featured red and green bands for the primary religious communities, with a Charkha. In 1931 came the Swaraj Flag which the Indian National Congress formally adopted — a tricolour featuring saffron, white, and green horizontal stripes, with Gandhi's spinning wheel placed in the center.

In 1947 the country saw the Tiranga , the Constituent Assembly modified the 1931 design by replacing the spinning wheel with the 24-spoke Ashoka Chakra, completing the evolution into the current national flag.

This is the Indian National Flag that we see today , the one that we proudly claim as a symbol of our nation at international standards. Independence Day brings with it a different ambience. The pride that courses through our veins as we see the flag being unfurled is truly unmatched. But , as an honest citizen and a real Indian , this pride should be constant and not simply a decoration for special occasions. Yes , we celebrate independence on one day , but we live it everyday. And so should the pride and patriotism live!

National Doctor's Day – The Call to Care

The profession of medical practitioners has lingered on from centuries ago, curing illnesses, supporting recovery and saving individuals from death’s doors.

Numerous new findings in the medical field have led to more sophisticated manners of handling various diseases and the possibility of curing previously incurable, high mortality illnesses is on the rise.

To recognise and appreciate the efforts of such marvellous people who have strived to help individuals and communities, an entire day has been dedicated to them known as 'National Doctor's Day'. It is celebrated throughout the nation on the 1st of July every year in memory of the death and birth anniversary of Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, renowned physician and the First Chief Minister of West Bengal.

This day is not only to appreciate the role doctors play in maintaining not only individual health and public wellbeing by helping with early diagnosis, treating acute and chronic diseases, guiding preventive health check-ups, supporting patients through difficult health decisions, promoting awareness about healthy habits, etc., but to also remember that they too need respect, safe working environments, emotional support, and balanced systems that allow them to provide the best care.

All professionals in the medical field work hard and pour in their blood, sweat and tears into maintaining the healthcare system where all people have access to it, but it is not to be forgotten that they are still human and are prone to different ailments just as we are, the ones they care for.

And as such, let us ask one final question –

“Who heals the healers? “

CA Day – Celebrating the Pillars of Financial Integrity

CA Day is celebrated every year on 1 July in India to mark the foundation day of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). Chartered Accountants play an important role in the financial and economic development of the country.

At first glance, the profession of a Chartered Accountant may appear to be all about numbers, calculations and financial statements. But behind these numbers lies a much greater responsibility. Chartered Accountants help businesses maintain accurate financial records, manage taxation, conduct audits and make sound financial decisions. Their work demands not only professional knowledge but also honesty, precision and integrity.

In a growing economy like India, businesses and organisations deal with increasingly complex financial activities. This makes the role of CAs especially significant. They help ensure that financial information is reliable and that organisations follow the necessary rules and regulations. In doing so, they contribute to greater transparency and trust in the business environment.

More importantly, the profession teaches us the value of responsibility and ethical conduct. Chartered Accountant is not only responsible for handling financial information but also for maintaining the trust placed in them. Their work can influence businesses, organisations and even the wider economy.

As we celebrate CA Day, we recognise the dedication of Chartered Accountants and their contribution to the nation’s financial system. It is a day to appreciate a profession that works quietly behind the scenes, helping businesses remain accountable and economies function smoothly.

নারী কথাটা যতটাই সহজ, এর অর্থ অনেক গভীর। নারী কথার ব্যুৎপত্তিগত অর্থ হল ‘স্ত্রী’ অথবা ‘মহিলা’। তবে আমার মতে নারী কথার অর্থ হল সেই টান, যে টান প্রত্যেকটি সন্তান তার মাতৃগর্ভে অনুভব করে। এই টান এমন একটি জিনিস যেটা পৃথিবীর সকল টান বা আকর্ষণকে হার মানায়। নারী যে কিনা পৃথিবীতে প্রথম ভূমিষ্ঠ হবার পর থেকেই তার পরিবারকে নিজের টানে বেঁধে রাখে। আবার সেই নারীকে শিশু বয়স থেকেই বড়োরা অনুভব করান অন্য এক অচেনা বাড়ির টান, যা কিনা তার ভবিষ্যৎ হবে। আমাদের সমাজ, আমাদের পরিবেশ, আর আমাদের পরিবার সব সময় নারীকে স্মরন করিয়ে দেয় তোমাকে কিছু করতে হলে, জীবনে বড়ো হতে গেলে, বাঁচতে হলে একজন পুরুষের প্রয়োজন। বাস্তব ক্ষেত্রে এই কথা একেবারেই ভুল। একটি ছোট গাছ যেমন বড়ো হবার জন্য কারো উপর নির্ভর করে না, নিজের খাবার, নিজের চাহিদা নিজেই মেটাতে পারে তেমনি একটি মেয়ে বেঁচে থাকার জন্য কোন পুরুষের উপর নির্ভর করে না। বরং বলা চলে পুরুষরাই নারীর উপর নির্ভরশীল। আমি এখনে পুরুষ ও নারীর মধ্যে পার্থক্য দেখাতে চাইনি। তবে একথা সত্যি বেশিরভাগ পুরুষই নারীর উপর নির্ভর করে। যেমন বলা চলে প্রথম জীবনে একটি পুরুষ তার মায়ের ওপর নির্ভর করে, বড়ো হলে দিদি বা বোনের ওপর নির্ভর করে, যৌবন বয়সে প্রিয়তমার উপর নির্ভর করে, বার্ধক্য বয়সে নিজের স্ত্রীর উপর নির্ভর করে।

তাহলে সত্যিই কী একটি নারীর বড়ো হবার জন্য, বাঁচার জন্য পুরুষের প্রয়োজন আছে ? সমাজ কিন্তু আজও পুরুষতান্ত্রিক হয়েই থেকেছে। তবে পুরুষতান্ত্রিক সমাজে নারীরা একেবারেই সুরক্ষিত না। যদিও সব পুরুষ এক নয় কিছু ব্যতিক্রমী পুরুষ রয়েছে বটেই। তবে বেশিরভাগ পুরুষের হাতেই আজ নারীরা অসুরক্ষিত, অত্যাচারিত, অবহেলিত, নির্যাতিত। সবশেষে এ কথাই বলব প্রতিটি বাড়ি নারী ছাড়া শূন্য। যে বাড়িতে নারী নেই তারাই বোঝে নারীর প্রকৃত মূল্য।

The Tech vs. Value Dilemma

Everyday living is being made comfortable and complicated at the same time. With the advancement of new technologies, life has become much easier and comfortable. From monitoring of health to the idle checking of bank balances, everything seems to have just settled on the tips of our fingers. We can access information of billions of gigabytes in a matter of seconds and we can connect to individuals living across the globe in no time, but there is the shadow of uncertainty looming in the far horizon. We are unsure about our own technological developments. This unprecedented technological upgradation might make our civilisation reach the never-attained zenith or it might lead to its demise. It's almost like a gambit with uncertain probabilities in a game where change is the only constant.

Certainty and uncertainty go hand in hand. There is always a certain uncertainty in life. In order to balance the world, we have to keep moving forward. Only time will witness where our civilisation is headed. We just need to cherish our small successes and we evolve constantly.

The world around us is coming closer but at the same time families are driving apart. The international disputes create much more repercussions than the on-going tensions within the domestic boundaries. Like we have witnessed the acute shortage of LPG cylinders during the recent months, but we hardly came to understand the causes and consequences of many of the internal disputes within the country. Keeping these things in mind, the Education System rightly promises the overall development of the student. Developing the skill-set of the student and Increasing their employability have become obsolete objectives in this time of ever developing technology. As we now talk about it, technology has already become one notch smarter and has made one leap forward. Rather, if we can develop in the students the simple values of life like compassion, empathy, truthfulness, loyalty and all encompassing - Humanity, this development can be actually worthwhile and can simultaneously compete with the development of technology.

Likewise, the formal Education System is (partially) incomplete without the teachers. In this age of AI, time has become of utmost importance. If technology can be rightly utilised in the classroom for inclusive education, in substitution of manual grading with computerised assistance, replacing the standardised lesson preparation with technologically efficient lessons, then the time which is spared can be utilised in developing the core human values in the students, which is actually the need of the hour.

We cannot compete with generative technology with the mere development of skill-set and employability of our upcoming generation but we can actually make a difference in making our future generation more human. Like when we roughly define Sustainable Development - meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the needs of the future generation, we just should not limit ourselves to material development but also the development of human values. The rate at which human values are degrading and the moral decay of society is progressing, we might put our future generations in jeopardy. As we know that the future of the upcoming generation is guided by the Educational system and nurtured by the curriculum followed by the schools, what can be more effective than starting this ‘instilling human values in humans’ from the school level itself?

There is already an exponential trajectory of technological development, what the human civilisation needs now is to learn how to become more human. We can only surpass technological advancement with the advancement of our human values.

International Chess Day is celebrated every year on July 20th to mark the founding of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) in 1924. Proposed by UNESCO in 1966 and officially recognized by the United Nations in 2019, it honors the game's power to unite people and promote fairness.

Playing chess helps children build vital life skills by improving critical thinking, focus, memory, and problem-solving. It teaches kids how to plan ahead, stay calm under pressure, and handle both winning and losing with good sportsmanship.

A Healthy Body and a Healthy Mind - Harmonize to create a Healthy Soul

Ritishaa Angel Khati

[School Journalist]

Being Healthy and in Harmony

In today's busy and competitive world, being healthy and living in harmony are essential for leading a successful and fulfilling life. Health is not only about being physically fit but also about maintaining mental and emotional well-being. Harmony refers to living peacefully with oneself, with others, and with the environment. Together, they help individuals achieve balance, happiness, and personal growth.

For students, health and harmony play a particularly important role. A healthy student is more energetic, focused, and capable of performing well in academics and extracurricular activities. Maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, getting sufficient sleep, and managing stress are important habits that contribute to better concentration and overall well-being. In an age where students face academic pressure and social challenges, taking care of mental health is equally important.

Harmony is equally important in every stage of life. It encourages people to build positive relationships based on respect, understanding, and cooperation. Whether at home, school, or in society, harmonious interactions create an atmosphere of trust and mutual support. Students, too, benefit greatly from harmonious relationships with their teachers, classmates, friends, and family members, as these relationships contribute to their emotional growth and confidence.

Furthermore, harmony extends beyond human relationships to our connection with nature. Human well-being is closely linked to the health of the environment. By conserving natural resources, reducing pollution, and adopting sustainable practices, we can create a healthier world for present and future generations. When individuals live in harmony with nature, they contribute to the well-being of the society as a whole.

In conclusion, being healthy and living in harmony are essential for a balanced and meaningful life. A healthy body, a peaceful mind, and harmonious relationships enable individuals to overcome challenges, achieve their goals, and contribute positively to society. By embracing these values, we can create a happier, healthier, and more harmonious world.

Decoding Teenage Mood Swings

Adolescence is the transitional stage between childhood and adulthood, marked by numerous biological and psychological changes. This phase of life being commonly termed as ‘teenage years’.

The maturation of reproductive organs causes hormonal fluctuations often leading to heightened sensitivity to emotions. This coupled with the development of the prefrontal cortex and other parts of the brain, becomes the perfect amalgamation for the development of ‘mood swings’ in teenagers.

Mood swings are sudden and intense changes in ones emotional state which most teenagers experience. Although mood swings are usually caused by hormonal fluctuations and brain development, some of the other factors could be – social pressure, improper rest and academic stress among others.

Some of the signs of an individual experiencing mood swings are:

• Increased risk-taking behaviour

•Lack of interest

•Withdrawal and isolation

•Increased irritability

•Emotional volatility

Mood swings while normal, still require external aid for the teenagers to navigate through.

Some of the ways parents can help could be by:

• Openly communicating with their children regarding their feelings

• Validating their feelings and not dismissing them

• Seeking professional help, if needed.

We, as teenagers can also help ourselves to navigate through such emotional turmoil while also going through changes in our bodies.

Besides proper sleep, exercising regularly and staying away from stressful triggers in real life and social media, we can try:

•Recognising triggers either by writing them down or talking with people whom we trust

• Listening to an upbeat playlist, brisk walking, running or using soothing items to calm us down

• Trying out different coping mechanisms like journaling, communicating, drawing, painting or dancing.

At the end of the day, we, as teenagers are the only ones who can truly understand the depths of our emotions. We need to learn how to self regulate the emotions and mood swings.

Harmony begins with good health

Health is not merely the absence of illness; it is a state of physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Likewise, harmony means living in balance with ourselves, with others, and with our surroundings. Together, they form the foundation of a meaningful and fulfilling life.

A healthy lifestyle includes nutritious food, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and proper hygiene. Equally important is maintaining a calm mind through positive thinking, self-discipline, and healthy relationships. When our body and mind work in harmony, we become more productive, confident, and resilient in facing life's challenges.

Furthermore, living in harmony encourages kindness, cooperation, and respect for nature and society. By adopting balanced habits and nurturing inner peace, we not only improve our own well-being but also contribute positively to the community. Indeed, being healthy and in harmony is the key to a happier and more successful life.

A healthy heart in harmony.

We chase our dreams from dawn till night,
Yet peace has always been in sight.
Health is more than strength we show;
It's love and kindness that help us grow.
A child's bright laugh, an elder's smile,
Can make life's burdens fade awhile.
Harmony blooms where hearts unite, Turning darkness into light.
A gentle word, a helping hand,
Can heal more than we understand.
When we care for Earth and one another,
Every stranger feels like a brother.
The greatest wealth will always be— A healthy heart in harmony.

A healthy mind leads to a wealthy life. Wealth here not only relates to money but the improvement in mind peace and body strength. When we will be at our greatest health then only we can achieve our goals. A healthy body also improves work capacity and day to day routine.

Many people focus on achieving goals blinded by success that they forget about their own vessel that keeps them alive.

Health is more important than the absence ofillness. Not only a physical but mental and emotional state too. A person may be physically fit but mentally unstable and emotionally drained. These obstacles might concern his daily chores and livelihood. A healthy person takes care of his body by taking a balanced diet, getting sufficient sleep and exercising. Being away from chaotic and busy life also helps in keeping mental peace.

In conclusion, being healthy and in harmony should be the sole purpose of our lite betore success. When physical,mental and social health will be content, we can move torward in our lite. A calm mind leads to a better future.

BALANCE,WELLNESS AND HARMONY

Being healthy and in harmony is all about finding a balance in life that nourishes both your physical and mental well-being. It's not just about hitting the gym or eating salads, though those are definitely part of it! True health encompasses a holistic approach, where your body, mind, and spirit are all working together. Think of it like a well-tuned instrument - each part needs to be in sync for the music to sound beautiful. When you're feeling healthy and in harmony, you have more energy, your mood is brighter, and you're better equipped to handle life's challenges.

Achieving this state involves conscious choices and consistent effort. On the physical front, this means fueling your body with nutritious foods, getting enough sleep, and engaging in regular movement that you enjoy. It's about listening to what your body needs and responding with care. Mentally, it involves managing stress, practicing mindfulness or meditation, and nurturing positive relationships. It's also about setting boundaries and making time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation, allowing your mind to find peace amidst the hustle.

Ultimately, being healthy and in harmony is a continuous journey, not a destination. It's about cultivating a lifestyle that supports your overall well-being, allowing you to live a more vibrant, fulfilling, and balanced life. It's about recognizing that your physical health, mental clarity, and emotional peace are interconnected, and by tending to each, you create a powerful synergy that benefits every aspect of your existence.

ORGANISED CHAOS

My life often feels like organised chaos. On one side, there are timetables, gym sessions, classes, exams, and goals. On the other, there are doubts, failures, distractions, and dreams that refuse to stay quiet. To an outsider, it may seem messy, but every piece has its place.

“The storm inside me never learned to rest,

Yet somehow it still guides me to my best.”

Chaos is not always destruction. Sometimes it is growth happening faster than understanding. Every difficult workout, every late-night study session, and every setback adds another piece to the puzzle. Progress rarely arrives in a straight line. It stumbles, falls, and rises again.

“I built my wings from countless tries,

Not from victories, but from goodbyes.”

As students, we often believe that successful people have everything figured out. The truth is different. They simply learn how to move forward despite uncertainty. Organisation gives direction, while chaos provides the challenges that build character.

For me, organised chaos is the balance between discipline and ambition. It is waking up with a plan while accepting that life may rewrite parts of it. The goal is not to eliminate chaos but to learn from it. After all, stars are born from cosmic disorder, and sometimes the brightest futures emerge from the messiest journeys.

Healthy Body... In Harmony

A healthy body is the foundation of a happy and successful life. When our body is healthy, our mind stays active, positive, and focused. The theme "Healthy Body... In Harmony" reminds us that true well-being comes from maintaining balance between our physical, mental, and emotional health.

In today's fast-paced world, many students spend long hours on mobile phones, computers, and television. This often leads to unhealthy habits such as lack of exercise, poor eating patterns, and insufficient sleep. To keep our body in harmony, we must adopt a healthy lifestyle. Eating nutritious food, drinking enough water, exercising regularly, and getting proper rest are essential for good health.

Physical fitness is not only about being strong; it is also about feeling energetic and confident. Activities such as walking, cycling, yoga, and sports help improve our fitness and reduce stress. At the same time, maintaining a positive mindset, practicing kindness, and spending quality time with family and friends contribute to emotional harmony.

A healthy body and a peaceful mind work together like the two wings of a bird. If one is neglected, the other suffers. Therefore, we should strive to maintain balance in every aspect of our lives. Small daily habits can create a big difference in our overall well-being.

As students and future citizens, it is our responsibility to take care of our health and inspire others to do the same. Let us make healthy choices every day and create a life filled with energy, happiness, and harmony. After all, a healthy body in harmony is the key to a brighter future.

Hobbies for the Soul

In a world that constantly urges us to move faster, achieve more, and stay connected every second of the day, hobbies often seem like simple pastimes. However, some hobbies offer much more than entertainment—they nourish the soul. They are the activities that bring peace to our minds, joy to our hearts, and meaning to our everyday lives.

A hobby for the soul is not about winning competitions or gaining recognition. It is about finding a space where we can simply be ourselves. For some, it may be painting a sunset, writing poems in a notebook, tending to a small garden, or playing a musical instrument. For others, it could be reading books, taking long walks, or capturing moments through photography. These activities allow us to

step away from the noise of the world and reconnect with our inner selves.

What makes soul-nourishing hobbies special is that they help us express emotions that words often cannot. A melody can speak of feelings we struggle to explain. A sketch can reveal thoughts hidden deep within us. Even caring for plants teaches patience, hope, and the quiet satisfaction of watching something grow. Such hobbies remind us that happiness is often found in small, meaningful moments rather than grand achievements.

For students, hobbies can be especially valuable. Academic pressure, examinations, and future uncertainties can sometimes feel overwhelming. Engaging in a hobby provides a healthy escape and helps reduce stress. It improves concentration, boosts creativity, and offers a sense of balance.

More importantly, it allows students to discover passions and talents that may not be reflected in their report cards.

In today's digital age, where much of our attention is captured by screens, hobbies for the soul encourage us to slow down and be present. They teach us to appreciate beauty, practice mindfulness, and cultivate gratitude. They remind us that life is not only about reaching destinations

but also about enjoying the journey. Ultimately, hobbies for the soul are gifts we give ourselves. They are not about being the best; they are about finding joy, peace, and fulfilment in the experience itself. In nurturing these interests, we

nurture our well-being, creativity, and sense of purpose. A person may forget many achievements over time, but the joy found in doing what they truly love remains a lasting treasure.

THE EARTH NEEDS US NOW MORE THAN EVER

Some days, the weather is so hot that it becomes difficult to step outside. On other days, it suddenly starts raining heavily. Even during the monsoon season, places like Siliguri often experience bright sunshine instead of regular rainfall. Sometimes, even when the sun is not shining, the humidity is so high that people start sweating heavily even while sitting indoors.

At the same time, many European countries are facing record-breaking temperatures, severe heatwaves, and wildfires. These unusual weather conditions are clear signs that climate change and global warming are affecting our planet. To spread awareness and encourage people to protect nature, World Environment Day is celebrated every year on 5th June.

It is a global initiative led by the United Nations that encourages people to take action for a cleaner and healthier environment. Every year, it is celebrated with a different theme. The 2026 theme is "Climate Action," reminding us that the time to protect our planet is now.

We can all help by planting more trees, reducing the use of plastic, saving water and electricity, recycling waste, using public transport whenever possible, and keeping our surroundings clean. Small efforts made by millions of people can bring a big change.

World Environment Day is not just a day to celebrate nature. It reminds us that the future of our planet depends on the choices we make today. If each one of us takes responsibility, we can build a greener, cleaner, and healthier Earth for future generations.

ENVIRONMENT DAY

Every year 5th June is celebrated as World Environment Day to remind us of our collective responsibility to protect and preserve nature. Since Young minds are the torchbearers of the future, they are at the ideal stage to instill the seeds of environmental awareness at a stage when they are eager to learn and, more importantly, to act.

On this occasion, the students celebrated Environment Day by participating in various activities. The junior students showcased their creativity through the ‘Best Out of Waste’ activity, transforming discarded materials into creative masterpieces, while the senior students expressed their concern for the environment through poster-making competitions.

These activities helped instill a sense of responsibility and encouraged students to contribute towards the protection and preservation of the environment.

Eye Camp - Prevent Screen Hazard

"Clear vision is not just a gift, it's a responsibility to protect through conscious care" ~ WAYNE

In the contemporary world, where distance from digital devices is almost impossible, students spend long hours scrolling at home, watching TV, attending digital classes, and using screens at school. While technology has made learning easier, excessive screen time can lead to eye strain, headaches, and other vision-related problems. Understanding these negative effects of digitalisation on students’ lives, the school organized an eye camp for its students to promote awareness about eye health and ensure that they can continue learning with clear vision.

The camp provided students with eye check-ups and valuable guidance from health professionals on maintaining good eyesight and adopting healthy screen habits. The initiative is taken to remind everyone of the importance of taking care for one’s eyes in today’s digital age and to encourage students to take simple steps to protect their vision for the future.

Where My Joy Begins

Joy is the sunlight after rain,

A happy song, a dancing train.

It lives in smiles, in games, in cheers,

In moments shared with those we hold dear.

Joy is the laugh of little friends,

A feeling that never truly ends.

It blooms like flowers in the spring,

And makes the heart dance, jump, and sing.

Sometimes joy is soft and small,

Like hearing someone kindly call.

Sometimes it shines big and bright,

Like stars that sparkle in the night.

So keep your joy and let it grow,

Through every high and every low.

For joy can light up the darkest day,

And gently chase the clouds away.

Joy is closer than we think.

Joy is not something we wait for, it is something we notice. It lives in the small moments we usually pass by — the warmth of sunlight, a gentle breeze, someone remembering our name. When life feels heavy, joy does not disappear. It just waits for us to look up.

Joy heals in soft ways.

Joy does not shout. It comes softly, like the calm after a busy day. It reminds us that even when

things feel hard and lonely, there is still something good left in the world. A single moment of joy can give us strength we did not know we had.

Joy lives in people, not things.

True joy is not found in money or success. It is found in the people who make us feel safe, valued, and understood.

Be Happy!

Be happy in the moment as this moment is your life. Happiness is something we all search for in different ways. Some people find happiness by helping others, while some find it by spending time with their loved ones.

Life is full of both happy and sad moments. If you win all the time, you may never learn from your mistakes. Even the smallest things can bring happiness. The simple secret of life is to stay happy and make others happy too.

Sometimes, we need sad moments to understand the value of joyful moments. So always try to smile, enjoy the little things, and spend time with the people who make you happy.

The Joy of Giving and Sharing

What is the joy of giving and sharing?

The joy of giving is created by God .

It is natural and enlightens us from within.

When we give something, the receiver becomes happy.

Seeing their smile makes us happy too .

While it is good to receive, it is even better to give.

Give a little if you cannot give a lot.

We feed our body when it is hungry, but the food for our soul is giving and sharing.

This is the true joy of giving and sharing.

Joy

Joy is often mistaken for a loud, exuberant shout of victory, but it is a deep, internal vibration that resonates through the chaos of daily life. While happiness often acts as a reaction to external success—like a celebration after a long week of work—joy is an independent force that can surface in the most unexpected and quiet moments. This emotion does not require a perfect environment to exist; in fact, its most profound power lies in its ability to bloom even during periods of struggle or boredom. Scientifically, joy acts as a biological reset, releasing a specific cocktail of neurotransmitters that clears the mind, effectively acting as a constant chase of big achievements and instead develops a sensitivity to the “glimmers” of the everyday. By choosing to notice these small, vibrant pulses of life, we can transform the ordinary into something sacred, proving that the capacity for wonder is perhaps our most resilient human trait.

A World of Silent Stories

Between the shelves of silent stories,

It drifts the boundless reveries

Filled with joyful series of fantasies,

Where you explore the galaxies

Where the wonderful tale-

Makes everything fail,

And the magic spell, tells the destiny.

A place of fresh new pages,

Where the book never ages,

Where every heart cam learn and enjoy,

In the library of endless joy.

A happy seed

A tiny seed of happy light

can make a gloomy day bright,

It's in the taste of morning tea,

a lazy wind that whistles through a tree.

It's not found in stores

It's found in chores and doors,

In sudden laugh in the clouds high,

in the golden sun laughing

in the sky .

So let it grow and stay.

and water it by guiding your way

Joy is not a heavy thing,

It's your heart who just wants to sing!

What’s in a Room?

What’s in a room
With a warm corner?
A fireplace, and
Tea, I say.

What’s in a room,
Lit up by sunlight?
Science of Brownian
Motion, I say.

What’s in a room
Housing aging stories?
Harry Potter and
Star Wars, I say?

What’s in a room
Of dusty books?
An aroma, a magic
Fragrance, I say?

What's in a room
called Library?
Everlasting joy
For me, I say.

কবিগুরু রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর

রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর ছিলেন বাংলা সাহিত্য, সংগীত, শিল্প ও দর্শনের এক অনন্য প্রতিভা | তিনি শুধু একজন কবি নন, ছিলেন একজন দার্শনিক, শিক্ষাবিদ, উপন্যাসিক ও মানবতাবাদী চিন্তক | ১৮৬১ সালের ৭ইমে কলকাতার জোড়াসাঁকো ঠাকুরবাড়িতে তার জন্ম হয়|তার রচিত “গীতাঞ্জলি” কাব্যগ্রন্থের জন্য ১৯১৩ সালে তিনি সাহিত্যে নোবেল পুরস্কার লাভ করেন।

রবীন্দ্রনাথের সাহিত্য মানুষের মন, প্রকৃতি, প্রেম, স্বাধীনতা ও মানবতার গভীর অনুভূতিকে স্পর্শ করে | তার লেখায় যেমন কোমলতা আছে, তেমনি আছে প্রতিবাদ ও আত্মমর্যাদার দৃঢ় আহ্বান। তিনি বিশ্বাস করতেন যে শিক্ষা কেবল বইয়ের মধ্যে সীমাবদ্ধ নয়; প্রকৃতি ও সৃজনশীলতার মধ্য দিয়ে মানুষ সত্যিকারের জ্ঞান লাভ করে | এই ভাবনা থেকেই তিনি প্রতিষ্ঠা করেন বিশ্বভারতী বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় |

রবীন্দ্রনাথ মানুষের স্বাধীন চিন্তা, ভালোবাসা এবং মানবতার কথা গভীরভাবে তুলে ধরেছেন তার লেখায় | তার সৃষ্ট গান আজ “রবীন্দ্র সংগীত” নামে সমগ্র বাঙালির হৃদয়ে বেঁচে আছে |

তিনি লিখেছিলেন —-

“চিত্ত যেথা ভয়শূন্য, উচ্চ যেথা শির |”

এই পংক্তিতে তিনি এমন এক সমাজের স্বপ্ন দেখিয়েছেন, যেখানে মানুষ ভয় হীন ভাবে সত্য ও জ্ঞানের পথে চলবে |

আবার তার বিখ্যাত আহ্বান —-

“যদি তোর ডাক শুনে কেউ না আসে তবে একলা চলো রে |”

এই লাইন আমাদের সাহস, আত্মবিশ্বাস এবং নিজের পথে এগিয়ে চলার অনুপ্রেরণা দেয় |

রবীন্দ্রনাথের মানবতাবাদী চিন্তার প্রকাশ ঘটে এই উক্তিতে—-

“মানুষের প্রতি বিশ্বাস হারানো পাপ |”

তার সাহিত্য আজও মানুষের মনকে স্পর্শ করে, নতুন করে ভাবতে শেখায় এবং জীবনের সৌন্দর্য উপলব্ধি করতে সাহায্য করে | তাই রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর শুধু বাংলার নন, তিনি বিশ্ব মানবতার এক চিরন্তন আলোকবর্তিকা |

রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর বাংলা সাহিত্য ও সংস্কৃতির আকাশে এক উজ্জ্বল নক্ষত্র। তিনি শুধু কবি নন, ছিলেন গল্পকার, নাট্যকার, সুরকার, দার্শনিক ও শিক্ষাবিদ। ১৮৬১ সালের ৭ই মে কলকাতার জোড়াসাঁকোর ঠাকুরবাড়িতে তাঁর জন্ম। ছোটবেলা থেকেই তাঁর সাহিত্যচর্চার প্রতি আগ্রহ ছিল, যা পরবর্তীকালে তাঁকে বিশ্বসাহিত্যের অন্যতম শ্রেষ্ঠ ব্যক্তিত্বে পরিণত করে।

রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুরের সাহিত্যকর্মের বিস্তৃতি অপরিসীম। তাঁর রচিত “গীতাঞ্জলি” কাব্যগ্রন্থের জন্য ১৯১৩ সালে তিনি নোবেল পুরস্কার লাভ করেন—যা ছিল এশিয়ার প্রথম নোবেল সম্মান। তাঁর কবিতা, গান ও গল্পে মানবতা, প্রকৃতি, প্রেম ও দেশপ্রেমের গভীর অনুভূতি ফুটে ওঠে। “জন গণ মন” ভারতের জাতীয় সঙ্গীত এবং “আমার সোনার বাংলা” বাংলাদেশের জাতীয় সঙ্গীত—উভয়ই তাঁর সৃষ্টি।

শিক্ষাক্ষেত্রেও তাঁর অবদান অনস্বীকার্য। তিনি শান্তিনিকেতনে প্রতিষ্ঠা করেন। বিশ্বভারতী বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় যেখানে প্রকৃতির কোলে মুক্ত শিক্ষার পরিবেশ গড়ে তোলা হয়। তাঁর শিক্ষা দর্শন ছিল সৃজনশীলতা, মানবিকতা ও স্বাধীন চিন্তার উপর ভিত্তি করে।

রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুরের জীবন ও কর্ম আজও আমাদের প্রেরণা জোগায়। তাঁর চিন্তা-ভাবনা আমাদের শেখায় কীভাবে মানুষকে ভালোবাসতে হয়, প্রকৃতির সঙ্গে মিশে থাকতে হয় এবং সত্যের পথে এগিয়ে যেতে হয়। তাই তিনি আজও সমানভাবে প্রাসঙ্গিক—আমাদের হৃদয়ে, আমাদের সংস্কৃতিতে, আমাদের জীবনে।

আমাদের বিদ্যালয়ে রবীন্দ্রজয়ন্তী দিনটিকে খুব জাঁকজমকের সঙ্গে পালন করা হয়। শিক্ষার্থীরা এবং শিক্ষক-শিক্ষিকারা সকলেই এই অনুষ্ঠানে অংশগ্রহণ করেন। অনুষ্ঠানের প্রধান আকর্ষণ হলো বিভিন্ন সাংস্কৃতিক পরিবেশনা। ছাত্র-ছাত্রীরা রবীন্দ্রসঙ্গীত গেয়ে শোনায়, তাঁর লেখা কবিতা আবৃত্তি করে এবং নৃত্য পরিবেশন করে। এইসব পরিবেশনার মাধ্যমে রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর-এর সাহিত্য ও সৃষ্টিশীলতার সৌন্দর্য ফুটে ওঠে।

आनंद: पल को जीने का नाम

By ~ Jyotika Pradhan
[Assistant Teacher]

आनंद का मतलब ढूंढ़ना नहीं,
बल्कि महसूस करना है।
यह नई साइकिल या महँगे फ़ोन में नहीं छिपा;
यह छोटी-छोटी बातों में बसता है।

सुबह स्कूल जाते समय दोस्त के साथ हँसना,
टिफिन साझा करना,
या कठिन सवाल हल करने के बाद
मिलने वाली वह संतुष्टि –
यही असली आनंद है।

आनंद कक्षा में सीखने का जुनून है,
खेल के मैदान में हारने पर भी टीम भावना है,
और दूसरों की मदद करने से मिलने वाली
वह खुशी है जो सबसे बड़ी है।

बस इतना याद रखें –
आनंद रुकने का नाम नहीं, पल को जीने का नाम है।

From Toys to Tears

The world was once a quiet song,
soft winds, gentle skies,
people held each other's pain
like prayers that never die.

But now the air feels heavier,
not from smoke alone;
it carries silent screams
of hearts turned as cold as stone.

Cities rise with shining pride,
countries roar with might,
but somewhere in that blinding glow
we lost what made us right.

A spark of anger, small at first,
grew louder than the truth,
and ego wore a crown so high
it strangled simple youth.

Wars aren't born from empty lands,
they grow inside our chest;
when "I" becomes much louder than "we",
the need to heal and rest.

A shortage here, a hunger there,
a mother's anxious cry—
not just from fate or broken earth,
but choices we deny.

We built the walls, we lit the flames,
we watered the damaged ground,
yet blame the sky, the times, the world,
but deep inside, we know how strange.

We fight for land we'll never keep,
for power that won't stay,
forgetting we are travellers
just passing on our way.

If only hearts could bow a little,
if pride could learn to bend,
this broken world might slowly heal
and wounds begin to mend.

But till then,
the loudest wars won't be outside;
they'll echo from within,
and ego writes destruction's call
how we win…

Social Media: Teenagers’ Best Friend or Biggest Distraction?

God has given us life on this beautiful Earth to live happily, enjoy every moment, help others, and make the world a better place. We can spread happiness, kindness, and cleanliness and make everyone feel that our world is a wonderful place to live in. But are we really doing so? Why are we unable to bring about such positive changes? One reason is our increasing dependence on social media.

Today, social media has become an important part of our lives. Many people spend a large amount of their time using mobile phones and social networking sites. We use social media to search for information, learn new skills, watch videos, and communicate with others. However, spending too much time on social media can distract us from our studies, family, friends, and nature.

Teenagers are especially affected by social media. Instead of spending quality time with family and friends or focusing on their studies, many teenagers spend hours online. This can affect their academic performance, confidence, and relationships. Some teenagers may also compare themselves with others on social media, which can make them feel unhappy or insecure.

In the past, people did not have mobile phones and social media. They spent their free time playing outdoor games, planting trees, making new friends, reading books, and learning new things. They enjoyed real-life experiences and did not depend on screens for entertainment.

However, social media also has some advantages. It helps us stay connected with friends and family, learn about current events, and access educational content. Therefore, social media itself is not bad; the problem arises when we use it excessively.

In conclusion, social media can be both a best friend and a biggest distraction for teenagers. It depends on how we use it. We should use social media wisely and in moderation. Let us be aware of its effects, spend more time with family and friends, focus on our studies, and work towards making our Earth a better place to live.

The Power of 24 hours

If teenagers ruled the world for a single day, we would bring new ideas and fresh perspective to problems like generation gaps,equality safety old and modern thinking.

The first thing I would like to change in schools is discrimination between girls and boys. In my opinion, no one should feel shy about talking to teachers, including male teachers, about periods because it is a common thing that happens to the female.

Next, I would focus on environment safety. Many girls and women feel unsafe going out of their homes at night because of the negative environment outside. Women's and girls' safety is highly important.

I would also like to change the mindset of the older generations. Thoughts like "girls are not allowed to go out after 8:00 PM or at night" and "girls should not study" are still prevalent in society. These thoughts make girls feel weak and dependent instead of independent.

Finally, in technology, many websites and apps are dangerous. They can even change people's mindsets from positive to negative.

Ravi’s Device: Twenty-Four Hours of Freedom

Once upon a time, there was a group of teenagers who were slightly mischievous students, except for one who was highly intelligent. While everyone else thought about what it would be like to rule the school, the intelligent student, named Ravi, was thinking about ruling the world in a positive way.

One day, Ravi’s father called the whole group to their house to show them a wonderful creation. Ravi's father was a brilliant scientist who had invented a device that could make them the rulers of the world, but only for a single day.

All of Ravi's friends were incredibly excited to use the device. However, his father decided that only one person should be trusted with it to prevent any misuse. He handed it to Ravi because Ravi was the smart leader of the group.

Everybody started cheering for Ravi to press the button, and he did. Instantly, the group was transported to the school. Everyone looked at them in surprise, clapping and chanting, "You are the king!" Ravi and his friends then began to explore the hidden corners of the school. They went straight to the computer lab first because they wanted to play games, and they had a lot of fun.

Now it begins," they thought. Technology quickly changed their behavior because they spent most of their time playing digital games. Inside the computer and gaming labs, they played video games, but they also enjoyed physical games like football, basketball, ludo, and carrom board.

The school environment completely changed because there were no studies—only fun and games. They used the smart boards primarily to watch entertaining videos on YouTube before heading out to explore the school grounds again.

However, society inside the school soon became undisciplined. Since they were the rulers, the teenagers started taking whatever they wanted from the school canteen and tuck shop without paying. They even made prank calls to their parents, jokingly telling them that they were studying hard and behaving perfectly.

But their absolute freedom soon came to an end. The one-day time limit expired, and the device turned off. They felt a wave of sadness that the fun was over, but they also felt a sense of relief and happiness. Looking around at the messy school, they finally realized the chaotic consequences of what they had done.

Awareness is your first line of defense;

Stay alert, stay safe

A Stranger Awareness Programme was conducted on 26th May 2026 for the students of Classes 1 to 4. The programme began with a morning assembly, followed by an informative skit presented by the teachers. The skit aimed to create awareness among children about the importance of being cautious around strangers. The skit helped the children understand the risks of trusting strangers and the importance of following safety guidelines.

The programme continued with a meaningful poem recitation and an inspiring speech by the teachers on stranger awareness. A quiz session was also conducted, where students enthusiastically participated and answered questions related to personal safety. To make the programme more engaging, small games and interactive activities were organised throughout, keeping the children involved and excited.The programme concluded with a vote of thanks by the teachers. The students enjoyed the session and gained valuable knowledge about staying safe and making wise decisions when dealing with strangers.

Badge Pinning Ceremony : Investing Future Leaders

A Badge-Pinning Ceremony was organised for the academic session 2026–2027, during which class monitors were formally appointed and adorned with badges. The ceremony marked the beginning of their leadership journey and entrusted them with the responsibility of guiding and supporting their peers.

Leadership is an essential quality, and school serves as an ideal platform for students to develop and nurture this skill. A true leader is not merely someone who directs others but one who works alongside team members, inspires them, and leads by example.

The newly appointed class leaders took an oath to discharge their duties with sincerity,patience, dedication, and commitment. They pledged to guide their classmates responsibly and serve as torchbearers of discipline, cooperation, and academic excellence throughout the session.

"The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow up."

A Visit to a Tea Factory

Hebron School recently organized an educational visit to a tea factory located in Aambari, Thakurganj. It was a very informative and enjoyable experience for all of us. We got the opportunity to learn about the complete process of tea manufacturing and understand how tea reaches our homes after passing through several stages of production.

As we entered the factory, we were amazed by its huge size and well-organized structure. Inside the factory, there were six large cement slabs on which freshly collected tea leaves were stored. The factory manager explained to us that each slab contained nearly 4,000 kilograms of fresh tea leaves brought from nearby tea gardens in pickup vans. The fresh aroma of tea leaves filled the atmosphere and made the environment feel refreshing and pleasant.

The manager also explained the difference between the leaves used for CTC tea and green tea. The leaves used for CTC tea were bigger, darker green, and comparatively rough, whereas the leaves used for green tea or leaf tea were smaller, softer, and light green in colour. We learned that the quality and price of tea depend greatly on the quantity of soft leaves present in the collection. For example, if 100 grams of tea leaves contain 40 grams of soft light-green leaves, the tea becomes more expensive because it produces better-quality green tea. On the other hand, if only 20 grams of soft leaves are present, the tea becomes comparatively cheaper.

After this introduction, we entered the section where CTC tea was manufactured. We saw four huge machines that were used to cut, tear, and crush the tea leaves, which is why this tea is called CTC tea. The machines were extremely large and advanced, and we were surprised to learn that each machine cost around 40 to 45 lakh rupees.

Next, we visited another chamber where the manager told us that a large machine was used to separate different grades of CTC tea. The processed tea was divided into various categories such as OP, BOP, BOPSM, BP, PF, Dust, and CTC according to size, quality, taste, and colour. Among these grades, BP was considered the best in terms of taste and price, while OP (Orange Pekoe) was the most expensive. The workers and the manager explained how each type has a different market value and is used for different purposes.

After that, we entered a very large hall where all the different varieties of tea were packed into huge bags for transportation and sale. The hall was filled with the rich fragrance of tea, and it gave us a real understanding of the scale of tea production in our country.

The factory staff were very kind and cooperative throughout the visit. At the end of the tour, we were served delicious milk tea and biscuits, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We also took photographs with the factory manager and other staff members. As a token of gratitude, we presented them with a thank-you card for giving us such a wonderful and educational experience.

Overall, the visit to the tea factory was highly informative and memorable. It helped us gain practical knowledge about tea processing, teamwork, machinery, and the hard work involved in producing tea. This visit will always remain a special learning experience for us.

Hebron School celebrated Yellow Day with great enthusiasm and excitement on 27th May for the kindergarten students. The event was organized to help children recognize and appreciate the colour yellow through various fun-filled activities.

The little ones came to school dressed in bright yellow outfits, making the campus look vibrant and cheerful. Their colourful attire made them look cute, smart, and full of energy. The day began with great excitement as the children proudly displayed their yellow-themed accessories and props.

Students brought attractive yellow-coloured cutouts such as mangoes, sunflowers, bananas, and stars. They confidently spoke a few words about their cutouts, helping them develop their communication skills and self-confidence.

Adding to the excitement, the children also brought yellow-coloured food items in their tiffin boxes, such as mangoes, bananas, corn, and other delicious snacks. This activity helped them identify yellow objects in their daily lives and made learning more enjoyable and practical.

Through various interactive activities, the children learned that the colour yellow symbolizes happiness, brightness, positivity, and warmth. The teachers appreciated the enthusiastic participation of both students and parents in making the celebration a grand success.

The Yellow Day celebration was a joyful and memorable experience for everyone. It combined learning with fun and helped the young learners strengthen their understanding of colours while creating wonderful memories.

The Final Beginning

This April didn’t feel like a beginning. It felt like a quiet reminder that every “first” we’re living right now is actually happening for the last time and somehow, that makes everything feel heavier and more beautiful at the same time.

In Class 11, April was just April. New books, new class—that’s it. But now, in class 12, even the most normal day feels different. We walk into the same classrooms, stand in the same assembly, sit on the same benches but somewhere inside, we know this won’t last. And maybe that’s why we’ve started noticing things we never cared about before. The sunlight falling across the board in the first period. The sound of the marker as the teacher writes. The path from the school gate to the classroom that we’ve walked without thinking. Nothing has changed, but it all feels important now.

Even lunch breaks feel different. Sitting with the same group, sharing food, laughing over random things it’s all so normal, yet it feels like something we’ll miss the most. No one says it, but somewhere we all know these small moments won’t come back in the same way. Maybe that’s what this April is. Not just a new start, but a quiet ending hiding inside it. Because next year, there won’t be a “first day of school” for us anymore. And somehow, that thought doesn’t feel real yet.

So maybe this April isn’t about holding on, but about noticing. Living these ordinary days while they’re still ours, before they quietly turn into memories, and we don’t even realise when it was the last time.

A Little Hope Goes a Long Way

Hope is not always something big or strong. Sometimes, it is just a small feeling inside us that tells us to keep going, even when things seem unclear. Even when things are not okay, it stays somewhere in the background, quietly reminding us that things can change with time. As Desmond Tutu once said, “Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.”

Life can be confusing and stressful, especially when things don’t go the way we expect them to. There are days when we feel tired, disappointed, or even completely lost. In those moments, hope doesn’t fix everything or make problems disappear, but it helps us get through. It gives us the strength to face situations and believe that maybe tomorrow can be a little better than today.

Hope can be found in simple things—a friend checking on you, a small success, or even just getting through a bad day without giving up. These small moments matter more than we think and slowly make a difference. Even when hope feels weak, it never completely disappears. It stays inside us and, over time, helps us try again. Maybe that’s what hope really is—a simple reason to keep going forward.

Ritisha Angel Khati
[School Journalist]

A Little Hope Everyday

For students, hope is often found not in big moments, but in the quiet decision to keep going even when things feel difficult.

It appears in small moments, like sitting with a difficult chapter and choosing to try again instead of giving up. Not every lesson is understood immediately, and that can be frustrating. But hope is what pushes students to keep reading, keep practicing, and believe that understanding will come with effort.

There are days when everything feels under control, and there are days filled with stress, especially around exams. Even then, students continue to study. Not because success is guaranteed, but because there is a belief that hard work will lead to improvement. That belief is a practical form of hope.

Hope also shapes how students look at the future. Most students don’t have everything figured out, and that uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Still, they imagine a better version of their lives ahead. That imagination gives meaning to their daily efforts, even the boring and difficult ones.

In friendships, hope plays a quiet but important role. Misunderstandings and conflicts are part of school life, but hope encourages students to fix things instead of walking away. It builds the idea that relationships can improve with honesty and effort.

Failure is another place where hope becomes important. Low marks or missed opportunities can feel discouraging, but hope helps students move forward. It shifts their thinking from focusing only on what went wrong to considering what can be improved next time.

Teachers and parents often strengthen this hope. Simple encouragement—like telling a student they can do better—can make a real difference. It helps students see that progress matters more than perfection.

For students, hope is not about expecting everything to go right. It is about believing that challenges can be faced and that effort is meaningful. It is present in everyday actions like finishing assignments, asking questions, practicing again after mistakes.

In the life of a student, hope is like a light that never goes out, guiding them through their hardest days, growing stronger with every step they take, and reminding them that something brighter is always waiting ahead.

Silent Struggles: The Hidden Battles of Students

Behind school uniforms, laughter in corridors, and social media smiles, many students are silently fighting battles that often go unnoticed. Today’s students are not just dealing with textbooks and exams—they are facing intense peer pressure, anxiety, self-doubt, and the constant need to prove themselves.

Peer pressure has become one of the biggest challenges. The desire to fit in, to be accepted, often pushes students to act against their true selves. Whether it is about appearance, academic performance, or lifestyle choices, many feel forced to match unrealistic standards. In trying to become someone else, they slowly begin to lose who they truly are.

Alongside this, anxiety has quietly taken root in student life. The pressure to score high marks, meet expectations, and plan a “perfect future” can feel overwhelming. Even a small mistake can feel like a failure. Nights that should be spent resting turn into hours of overthinking, fear, and self-doubt. The mind becomes a battlefield where confidence and insecurity constantly clash.

Social media adds another layer to this struggle. It creates a world where everyone seems perfect—perfect marks, perfect looks, perfect lives. Students compare their reality with someone else’s highlight reel and begin to feel “not enough.” But what they often forget is that perfection online is rarely the truth.

Yet, in the middle of all these struggles, there is hope. Every student carries strength within them, even if they don’t always see it. It is okay to feel lost sometimes. It is okay to not have everything figured out. Growth is not about being perfect; it is about moving forward despite the fear. Real courage lies in being yourself in a world that constantly tries to change you.

Remember, your worth is not defined by marks, opinions, or comparisons. You are more than a result sheet, more than a single failure, more than what others think of you. Every small step you take matters.

Every effort you make counts.

So instead of asking, “Am I good enough?”—maybe it’s time to ask:

Are we being too harsh on ourselves?

Are we chasing approval instead of happiness?

Are we forgetting that we are human, not machines?

And most importantly—are we truly living, or just trying to meet expectations?

4th of April

The stars stood still, the moon leaned low,

To watch a tiny heartbeat grow.

A cry rang out — so soft, so clear,

The world just paused to hold and hear.

Her mother smiled, her father cried,

The wind grew warm, the clouds grew wide.

And in that breath, both calm and wild,

The universe whispered — there goes our child.

But somewhere then, beneath that sky,

A string was tied — from her to I.

Not loud, not seen — but softly spun,

The quiet thread that makes us one.

SEEDS OF HOPE

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” — Margaret Mead

The climate crisis is one of the biggest challenges our generation face. Rising temperatures, melting glaciers, extreme weather events, and loss of biodiversity is no longer distant concern—they are realities we are already experiencing. It is easy to feel overwhelmed and even hopeless when we think about the scale of the problem. However, even in the midst of this crsis, there is seeds of hope quietly taking root across the world

Hope can be seen in the growing awareness among people, especially young individuals, who are raising their voices for the planet. Students activists, and communities are coming together to demand change, reminding leaders that the future of the Earth cannot be ignored. This collective effort show that change is possible when people unite with a common purpose

Another seed of hope lie in innovation. Scientists and engineers are constantly developing sustainable solutions—renewable energy sources like solar and wind power eco-friendly alternatives to plastic, and new methods of conserving natural resources. These advancement proves that human creativity can play a powerful role in protecting the environment

At the same time hope is also present in small, everyday actions. Choosing to reduce waste, saving electricity, planting trees, or spreading awareness may seems like minor efforts, but together it create a meaningul impact. Just like seeds growing into forests, this actions contribute to a larger movement for change

Life rarely goes exactly as planned, and the climate crisis is a reminder of that. There are moments when everything feels uncertain—when solutions seems far away and the future appears unclear. In such times, hope become more than just a feeling; it becomes a necessity. It reminds us that even in difficult situations, change is possible.

In a world that often moves too fast and demands too much, hope remind us to slow down and take responsibility. It teaches us that progress does not always have to be big. Even the smallest efforts, the quietest decisions, and the unseen struggles is shaping something meaningful for our planet. When we choose hope, we choose to believe that our present actions will lead to a better tomorrow

Ultimately, hope is not just something we hold onto—it is something we live by. It is reflected in our actions, our mindset, and the way we treat our environment each day. By nurturing hope within ourself and sharing it with others, we create a ripple effect that goes far beyond our own lives. And in doing so, we don’t just wait for a better future—we begin to build it.

Hope Within

Not in temples,
Nor in churches,
Not in oceans or stars,
Shall you find it outside.

Search for hope if you will—
It appears on its own,
Within your heart.

Hope for a Greener Tomorrow

Hope for a greener tomorrow is not a distant dream—it is a responsibility placed quietly in our hands today. The earth does not ask for grand promises; it asks for small, consistent actions. Yet, we often ignore its silent cries—the drying rivers, the fading forests, the choking air.

For students, this hope begins with awareness. It grows when we choose differently, even in the smallest ways. A single step may seem insignificant, but change has always begun with one.

“A seed today, a forest tomorrow,

A mindful step can heal the sorrow.”

Nature gives endlessly, yet demands balance. But human greed has tipped that balance, turning abundance into scarcity. A greener tomorrow will not come from waiting—it will come from doing. From reducing waste, conserving resources, and respecting the world we live in.

There will be challenges. Change is never easy, especially when habits are deeply rooted. But hope lies in persistence—in choosing what is right over what is convenient.

“When skies turn grey and rivers dry,

Hope still lives if we try.”

A greener tomorrow is not built by a few; it is created by many. And it begins with one question every student must ask: What am I doing today to protect my tomorrow?

SAVE EARTH

In this modern era of rapid technological advancement, protecting our natural resources has become essential. It is the responsibility of every individual to ensure that development occurs in a sustainable manner, with due consideration for the conservation of resources and biodiversity. The Earth is our motherland, and therefore, we must act responsibly to preserve and protect it.

Nowadays, greenery is gradually disappearing from forests and across the planet. Pollution continues to rise, leading to the deterioration of essential resources such as air and water. It is high time we begin conserving the environment for future generations and focus on sustainable development. This can start with simple yet effective steps such as reducing waste, reusing materials, and recycling resources.

Furthermore, spreading awareness among people about environmental protection is crucial. Citizens must act responsibly, but at the same time, the government also plays a vital role. Authorities should actively promote afforestation, prevent illegal mining, and implement strict regulations to control pollution caused by both individuals and industries. Regular monitoring is necessary to ensure that these rules are properly enforced.

We must always remember that our actions should not harm our mother Earth. Even small efforts can lead to significant positive changes. Planting more trees, managing waste responsibly, and educating others about environmental conservation are simple actions that can make a big difference. Change should begin at an individual level and gradually influence society as a whole.

Although people are generally aware of what is beneficial or harmful to the environment, many fail to act responsibly. To become accountable citizens, we must take initiative and speak up against harmful practices. If anyone—whether individuals or authorities—engages in activities that damage the environment, we should question and oppose such actions.

In recent years, deforestation has increased significantly, sometimes even with the support of corrupt officials. However, if citizens unite, raise their voices, and protest against such wrongdoing, meaningful change can be achieved.

In conclusion, the Earth does not belong solely to humans but to all living beings, including future generations. Therefore, it is our duty to protect and restore its natural beauty. We must act responsibly and never compromise when it comes to safeguarding our planet. Even the smallest steps can create a significant impact, and together, we can build a healthier and greener future.

The air was misty and foggy, with no sign of any other life form. Quite then, I was sitting at the park’s bench as usual. The date read on my watch was April 2025, although the actual year was 2047. The manufacturers had stopped making such watches in the 2030s; however, antiques like this amused a collector like me.

A common question might arise in your mind—how is it freezing cold in the middle of April? The simple answer to that would be that, long ago in the year 2037, India had implemented climate modulators that could alter weather conditions according to the needs of crops.

Sitting alone at night is no longer considered dangerous, since the rate of crimes has reduced to almost two percent since the year 2028, when crimes were at their peak in India. People now live peacefully in their houses, as almost all facilities are delivered through robotic gadgets. Traffic, which was once at its zenith, is no longer a problem. Still, I miss the days when honking continuously used to be a part of city life.

This year marks the hundredth Independence Day of our nation. However, the newer generations have long forgotten the great revolutionaries who built our motherland with their sweat and blood. Statues of the freedom fighters still stand, though hardly anyone stops to look at them. The importance of history has gradually been omitted from textbooks.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that books are no longer present in physical form, since schools have fully implemented digital studies.

Festivals, too, have changed drastically. The celebration of extravagant and huge-scale festivals was once India’s cup of tea. However, ever since the harmful effects of noise and chemical pollution were understood, the excitement and craze for such celebrations have gradually diminished. Festivals are now celebrated only in a very confined and controlled manner.

Innovation, as they say, comes at a cost.

Just like a coin has two sides, every phase has its own pros and cons. Innovation has indeed made life easier, but it has also cost us our excitement, our emotions, and our connection with the old ways of living. Alienation is one of the major consequences that has silently affected the people of India.

Despite all this, I still carry a hope within me—that one day people might get bored of these robotic gadgets, step out of their glass rooms, and live life the way it was once lived in the 2020s.

As for me, I would gladly choose to live the rest of my life exactly as it was in 2026.

Heal The Earth

Save The Earth: "Earth is our home, and we must protect it."

We have all likely heard this slogan at some point, whether in passing or during a serious debate. While various rallies, programs, and awareness campaigns are conducted by government and non-government organizations for the environment, a critical question arises: do we truly fulfill our duties as responsible citizens? Partially yes, but mostly no.

Earth is home to approximately 400,000 species of flora and 600,000 species of fauna. Among them, humans are considered the most intelligent; despite this, we often act irresponsibly and carelessly.

Mother Nature provides everything we need for survival. However, we take these gifts for granted. Our greed for more will eventually lead to our downfall. Human activities—such as polluting the land, water, and atmosphere—are destroying the natural habitats of countless organisms.

The wastage of resources will lead to a future where wars occur due to the scarcity of once-abundant supplies. The water we drink and the food we eat are slowly depleting across the globe, yet many remain blind to this truth, either through ignorance or by active denial of its existence.

It is, however, not too late. We still have a chance to fight back and slow the damage we have caused. We must begin taking immediate action through sustainable development and the protection of natural habitats and organisms.

Survival does not mean just our own, but the survival of every life form on Earth. Therefore, it is a must that we hold ourselves accountable for our actions and take small steps toward the betterment of our planet before it is too late to turn back.

INDIA in 2047

With the advent of industrialization and rapid technological development, India in 2047 has the potential to become a prosperous and fully developed nation. Advancements in information technology and science have already made it easier to fulfill even our basic needs. Communication has become faster, connections stronger, and the sharing of ideas more seamless than ever before. If this progress continues, India can achieve great heights and establish itself as a global leader.

However, several challenges still persist. Issues such as caste and gender inequality, discrimination, and crimes like domestic violence and abuse continue to affect society. Although the dominance of men over women is expected to decline, real change will require greater awareness and education. People must learn to respect diversity, accept different perspectives, and treat one another with dignity and equality.

Environmental concerns, especially pollution, also threaten the nation’s growth. Reducing pollution and adopting sustainable practices must become a priority. At the same time, unity among citizens is essential. True national integration should not be limited to celebrations on special occasions but reflected in everyday life and behavior. A nation becomes truly developed only when the mindset of its people evolves in a positive and inclusive direction.

While it is inspiring to envision such a future, it is important to remember that progress depends on action. Dreams of eliminating poverty, creating better job opportunities, and improving quality of life will only become reality through collective effort and responsible choices.

“A nation grows not just by plans we make,
But by the efforts and steps we take.”

The government, too, plays a crucial role by investing in the youth, as they are the architects of tomorrow. Providing quality education, opportunities, and guidance will empower them to build a stronger nation.

“2047 is not just a year to see,
It is the future we build collectively."

DREAM AND LOVE

Humans do not only dream at night, they also dream with open eyes under the open sky. Maximum people dream about having their own BMW cars, big houses, and a luxurious life. But my dream is quite different.

When I was in kindergarten, I used to dream about having gaudy stationery items more than my friends. But as time passed, I realized that dreams are not about comparison or showing others. If we compare ourselves, we will always live in stress, anxiety, and peer pressure.

Slowly, I understood that dreams should always be steady. My dream is that no matter what changes will take place in my life, I will always stay strong and hold my roots. But if all we ever dream about money, future, and travelling all over the world, then who will dare to dream about peace, calmness, and true independence.

I know I will achieve my dreams if I stay focused and consistent - Not just by dreaming big, but by working daily without resistance.

“Dreams are not what we see with at night,

Dreams are what push us daily to fight.”

Firstly, I always dream of being strong, independent, and hardworking.

Secondly, I want to help those children who are willing to study but cannot afford to due to economic hardship.

Furthermore, I want to build my own school in a village — a government school equipped with all the facilities of a private school.

Above all , I believe dreams are not about being perfect. They are about rising again after falling, staying away from wrong influences, and embracing a constant readiness to explore the unknown.

“Not about shining for the world to see,

But becoming the best version of me.”

Dreaming is good for the mind and the soul - it teaches us discipline, manners, and focus. There is no specific age to dream — people of all ages can dream and every dream has the power to change lives.
