Write a story with two students and a teacher as main characters There are many instances in which students have to be admitted to a new school or college long after the semester has begun due to various reasons. The reasons could be relocation to another city, seeking better facilities and education or looking for cheaper options.  Due to the mid-semester admissions, the child has to face several hardships and it significantly impacts their mental health and overall performance. The new surroundings of the school could overwhelm them or they could struggle to get familiar with new classmates or teachers. Many students also struggle to keep up with the class work, complete the syllabus and complete homework. The teaching methods of a particular teacher always differ from others, so new students always find it hard to grasp the important points and key concepts. Something like this happened to me too. It was the last working week before the summer vacation. Our teacher, Mr. Singh an...

  Announcement: Why has nothing been posted on the website in the last 1 month? For the last month, I was engaged in my ICSE Std. 10 Examinations, so I was not able to publish anything on the website.  After that, I was on a short break that lasted just slightly over a week, so I was not able to post anything. During my vacation, I was enjoying some really good anime and after all this time I find myself refreshed and full of new passion to create content for this website. From today dated 28th March, I will post regularly with priority on publishing compulsory posts on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

A Visit to a Plant Nursery and Discovery of My Greatest Friend Part 1 I was not a very good person at socializing with others. It is not like I hate anyone or see them as inferior to me, I just do not know how to talk to others. It was always too much for me to walk up to someone and initiate a conversation. I was always too lazy to accomplish such a simple task. But now it was getting too much out of hand. I was going to turn sixteen this year, I should make a friend. I want to make a friend.  All these years, I just sat quietly in the class. When it was a free period or lunchtime, other normal students would talk to each other, play or have practice matches of chess and other games. I never felt that I was lonely. I had already volunteered myself to the school's student committee. I was already busy enough to keep my grades up. Volunteering took a lot of effort and I was usually given tasks that could be done alone. It felt like fate did not want me to have friends. Now that I th...

Good Day Readers, Announcement 22nd March 2024: Forbidden the use of AI content on the site Today I shall answer a very concerning question that some other readers have raised through the comment section on the site.  It is related to the publication of AI-generated content in huge amounts on the site. I apologize for the publication of content that is directly or indirectly generated by AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Google's Gemini.  The posts concerned were published last year. As you can see too, in the last 4 months, there has been no AI-generated content published. The posts published before were just a test for me to develop some sense and enjoy this new technology as you all already know I have a particular interest in the latest tech.  I assure you that from this day 22nd March 2024, forward there will be directly or indirectly no content will be posted which is written fully or partially by non-human chatbots or other such technologies. I appreciate the time spent ...

Diary 4th April Today was my Physics exam. I had hoped to score full marks, that is 80/80 on the exam, but sadly I will hardly even be able to score 75 on the exam. According to the experts, today's question paper was rated "moderate" in terms of difficulty; I can never argue that. The questions today were so easy. I wish I had looked up some key concepts again. The concepts that came today were not very important, and one would also say these topics would never be asked in exams. They were not directly asked. Instead, the questions made the use of those concepts subtly.  It was 28th February 2024. It was the day of my Geography 2024 ICSE Council Standard 10th Examination. The exam went well; I would not say great. The questions were easy in Geography despite my negligence in studying the subject the previous night. It is not like I had not studied even the slightest. I just had never taken the subject seriously all year. The exam went well and I am hoping around 70/80. T...

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. Students not only need to learn a fixed set of skills, but they also need to learn to learn new things and to customize their skills to fit the work at that time. The world is rapidly changing and traditional learning cannot keep up with it for a long time. The introduction of skill-based learning improves the overall learning experience for the students and makes the study m...

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...

The Moon in Shrinking and it can causes problem in the Artemis mission As Earth's faithful companion for billions of years, the Moon has captivated humanity with its luminous presence and enigmatic allure.

In this article, we embark on a journey to unravel the mysteries of the shrinking Moon, delving into its implications and the fascinating processes driving this lunar transformation. NASA has known it for years. It has been a piece of common knowledge for the general population who care to look up science news.

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. From the moment we enter this world as wide-eyed children to the complex beings we become in adulthood, our journey is marked by a series of transformations. 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. The changes which we go through during our lifetime develop us mentally, physically, and emotionally. It influences our perspectives, personality, and response to the various challenges presented by life. I am no exception to this crucial rule of nature. During my lifetime, I have gone through several changes. Some changes were positives, while others were negatives; some left a massive impact on me, and some were too subtle to notice. One of the prominent changes which I went through was to open up to everyone. ...
