You wake up to the sound of an unusual noise coming from outside your window. Intrigued, you peek out and see a figure standing there, unlike anything you've ever encountered before. Write a story about this unexpected visitor and the impact they have on your life. It was raining quite a lot on the 22nd of December, which was unusual during chilly winter months.  I was fast asleep in my bed with a giant white-colored blanket covering my whole body. If someone had seen me, they would have said that I looked like those white silk cocoons. Last night, I was playing games till the hour hand of my bedroom clock struck three. I was tired and feeling sleepy as I was playing probably my 15th multiplayer match. My team had won six or seven games as I recall. It was enough for the day. So we decided to continue the match on next Saturday night.  It was almost noon. I didn't say the time on the clock but I can say for sure. The soft warmth of a winter day made the time obvious. I heard a...

Some people like to live in a small town. Others prefer living in a big city. Describe which place you would like to live in. Why?   Humans have a habit of living together as a community. Some prefer to live in big cities while others prefer living in a small town. Both places have advantages and disadvantages for their settlers. Cities are usually overcrowded and polluted. They also host several important buildings and centers. On the other hand, towns are small inhabited areas that are sparsely populated and located in the exterior areas. In cities, the residents are mostly engaged in non-agricultural jobs like business, state service, finance, and others. Cities are generally said to have better transportation, education, and medical facilities. Cities are located near industrial areas so they are more developed. There are lots of advantages to living in a big, but I still prefer to live in a small town.  Towns are small in size and there are fewer residents living in them,...

  Describe in detail the view from your bedroom window. Does your room overlook a park? A busy street? What are the sights, sounds, and smells that you would typically see, hear, and experience at different times of the day? When do you most enjoy the view? Early in the morning, in the evening, or late at night? A bedroom window is the source of many sights. They can be the scenes of beautiful parks blooming with various flowers or busy streets with honking vehicles disturbing the tranquility and peace of the surroundings. Everyone has a unique experience when they have nothing to do but stare outside the open window. Those who are lucky to enjoy the view of parks from their windows typically like to watch it during the early morning while those having a busy street enjoy the night view when there are fewer vehicles and the air is a little bit cleaner. My bedroom window shows neither a park nor a busy street, but I can still enjoy the pleasant view of flowers in the morning. I can ...

13th February 2024: Made Red Background in Adobe Illustrator As I said in an earlier post, I have been upskilling my digital art-making skills to make new illustrations for my website easily. The illustration shown above is one of the most recent of my art pieces. It is not that good that it can amass appreciation from many people, but it is at least good enough that I thought of posting it on the website.  It took me around 30 minutes to make this background, and I will never use it again. But it was a good memory and it indeed helped me learn a new thing or two. From now on, I will try to make a digital illustration each day and post it here on the site so that I can showcase my terrible artwork with you all.  I have found a new interest in making digital illustrations nowadays and I feel like I am in a completely different space that is separated from our real world. When I am working on drawing a new illustration and unleashing my creativity, it feels like time is passing ...

  Tuesday 13th February 2024 Its 11:27 am on the 13th Febrauary 2024. I am currently sitting on the chair in front of the study table. I have opened my Toposheet book page number 32 and currently solving Map 5: Survey of India Map Sheet No. G43S10 — Eastingd 50-60, Northings 13-23.  My Geography ICSE class 10 board exams are coming near and I have only 1 day gap before the geography exam so I need to work hard.  I also don't have any special preparation for geography, nor do I have any special interest in the subject. I usually get around 70 out of 100 in the subject so I need to work hard for the boards as this subject will be important in gaining marks in social studies which comprises Geography, History, and Civics.  I am not doing much preparation as my friends are doing and also I am still not serious. I do not know how they incite the feeling of seriousness inside me but I will still try hard to study the subjects. I also do not have any particular interest in ...

Russian authorities have sanctioned UK officials, historians, and academics terming them as Russophobic people  Russia today on Monday imposed personal sanctions on 18 UK citizens including top British academics and officials. The reason given for this action by the Russian authorities against the people mentioned was their attempt to portray Russia as a threatening nation and encourage the Ukraine war.  "We are forced to state that Russophobically charged British representatives do not shy away trying to discredit the constitutional system and socio-political processes in our country," Russia's foreign ministry said. "The so-called brain trusts operating on the basis of the largest British and Western educational institutions make a significant contribution to the subversive work of London in the Russian direction." Russia introduced personal sanctions against British Deputy Defence Minister James Cartlidge, Deputy National Security Adviser Sarah MacIntosh and ...

Describe a moment of pure joy or awe you experienced, using your words to paint a picture of the scene and evoke the emotions you felt. Everyone has a moment that gives joy and eternal bliss. Some never forget those moments till the end of their lives while others keep looking for new moments to add to their collection. These moments could be anything like a journey during the summer vacation, a beautiful sunset scene, the ending of a novel, time spent with friends or children, an unimaginable dream, and lots more. The moment that gives me pure joy is none of the above-mentioned, it is very different and unique, yet I can say with confidence beaming through my entire body that my moment is the happiest of them all. It is not the fun of a journey during the hot summers or cold winters, it is not an emotional ending of a novel, and it is neither enjoying a show. It is simple yet so profound that it left a joyful mark on my heart so that I would not even think of ever forgetting it.  ...

A school is a place where children are sent from an early age to gain knowledge and get a fundamental learning of different crafts. He not only gets an education but also learns etiquette and behaviors. Schools are crucial for building responsible individuals and for that reason, they need to regularly implement changes and policies that will be best for the development of the young students.  A school is the best place where the fundamentals in the different fields are taught which will be useful in the future. In modern times, skills-based learning is vital for the successful future of a student.

My first drawing on Sketch.io I have finally done it. I always wanted to start making custom digital illustrations, but I never got to learn how to make digital art. I have done it after so many months. Ever since I started this website, I wanted to make those cool illustrations you can find on other websites, but I was always bad at drawing skills so it always remained a dream. Recently when I was sitting at home and getting bored. I started doing random searches to pass my time. It was at that time that I started thinking of online drawing cools. When I searched for it, sketch.io was the first result and I have to admit that the tool is perfect for beginners like me who probably know nothing about drawing and art. Well, it's a shame that I am saying it after going to Drawing Classes for 8 years. I can draw well on paper but it also has been a long time since I drew something. I will try it out once my exams are over. I just got to know how hard it is to make these digital arts. W...

For the statement "No other subject taught in school is as important as Moral Science." Express your views for or against this statement A school is where the youngsters are taught the fundamentals in every major subject. They are taught Mathematics, Science, English, Computer Science, and regional language - in India Hindi is taught in most schools. Children till primary schools are taught Moral Science, but in higher grades, it needs to be given more or sometimes no attention. The school forgets how this important subject can help the students to become a better person.  Children are enrolled in schools at an early age. They do not know the ethics and behaviours at such an age. Therefore, it is the responsibility of both - schools and the parents - to teach the children these basic yet important lessons. A person without ethics is no better than a non-living rock. Trees also have ethics; every living organism does. Therefore, it becomes crucial to teach the children the eth...

My AI Girlfriend: The story I currently have in mind As you might already know I love writing and I am also a tech-savvy person. This is the reason I created this website. I always wanted to write a book and publish it, but because of my busy student life, it became almost impossible to sit for long hours in a day and get a story done. Stephen King says you should be able to write around 2500 words a day, but when I write for this website - which is also not frequent - I am only able to write 800 words in an article, which is okay for it. I love AI and I also like reading other people's experiences with it. It is so much fun to know about them. I have also thought of a very long experience which I want to show to you all. It will not be a personal experience rather it will be a story told by a character. Plot The story "My AI Girlfriend" revolves around a guy who after several failed attempts gets a girlfriend, but the relationship with that girl is hell for him. He was n...

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman Announced Rs 1 Lakh Crore for Tech-Savvy Youth Millions of innovative tech ideas come up every year that can revolutionize industries and enhance human lives. These ideas emerge with a promise that could change the world if the right people work on it, and importantly, they get financial backing. However, a substantial portion of these ideas fail to make their way into the consumer's hands due to the lack of funding. Despite their potential to reshape the future, many innovative concepts fail to impress investors, thus unable to secure grants for their execution. Addressing the deficit in funding allocated for innovative ideas is a challenge that necessitates our attention and concerted efforts. Keeping that in mind, the Indian Government has taken the initiative to help the young geniuses of the country. In her Union Budget 2024 presentation, today, on February 1, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharman highlighted a promising outlook for the tech-sa...

Changes that you observed in yourself as compared to your childhood Change is an inevitable aspect of life - the law of nature. It is a force that shapes and moulds our lives.

These changes - whether they are subtle or profound - play a pivotal role in defining our identity and shaping how we navigate the world around us.

One of the prominent changes which I went through was to open up to everyone. ...

OpenAI removes the prevention of military use of its tools from Term of Service Many people have been worried about the safety concerns that Artificial Intelligence and modern technologies pose to human society. We have thousands of movies about how AI and humanoid robots take over the world and make humans their slaves. There is also a popular thought experiment dedicated to it. It is known as Roko's basilisk. "Roko's Basilisk is a thought experiment which states that an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence (AI) in the future would be incentivized to create a virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, to incentivize said advancement." These are mere speculation, and at the current period and in the next decade, we will have a technology that will endanger our existence. But, I fear what I just said would be proven wrong if we keep ignoring the necessi...

Beyond Immortality: Chapter 1 Our world is full of problems. People have stress, depression, and anxiety. Some smoke to get temporal relief, some take the help of liquor, while others hold their head and cry quietly as they realize how weak they are and their incapability to change their situation even in the slightest.  But there exists a world, on a different planet far from here. Humans estimated it to be thousands of light years.  This new world is unique. The concept of sadness, fear, or anger is unknown to them. Humans cannot explain the simple psychology of the people of this land. Humans call this land, Paradise and the people, Paradisans. Paradisans are perfect being who lives for eternity, they never die thus, they also don't need to reproduce. Any illness that may be fatal to humans is nothing for them. They are said to have eternal youth and intelligence unparalleled to human comprehension.  According to legends, God when created the universe and thousands of ...
