To be a beam of light by Sanjana Saji Nair



                      When the world says give up,  hope whispers......try it one more time. We tend to believe that in this too often dim world, love and hope ceased to exist making it even much dull. Society always Lee's at us and forms a cloud over our head which drains away our morale. But there is always a someone who bring hope to the tormented mind and stimulate them to persuade their goal. Here Luz Long had lay hold of a beam of light within him which he shone on Jessie Owens when he tripped on his path. With a smile of reassurance he wiped out all of the tension that was there between him and Owens. More than a fierce opponent, he acted as a friendly fellow competitor and drove him out of the crisis he was facing at that moment. 

                     When we possess a ray of hope within ourselves, it's light penetrates the darkness that engulfs us. For this we need to fill our inner self with these qualities because it is impossible to pour from an empty cup. Self-empowerment is an essential factor when it comes to influencing others. To be truly empowered means we have the ability inside ourselves to know what is really best for us, thus being able to highlight our attributes. Among everything hope is the greatest treasure we can ever find for ourselves, and it is the most precious gifts we can give to someone else. Hope provides us with motivation to persevere. It calls us to dream dreams of significance and influence. It begs us to work diligently with optimism and promise. 

               It is always said to surround ourselves with people who speak confidence in our life and to nurture healthy relationship with them so it's better for us to become as optimistic like that and believe in true potentials. Being our true self and still being able to cheer for the ones in need of a hand is what encouragement is about. They say good people are like candles, they burn themselves to give others light. Luz Long in a way sacrificed his first position for Owens by giving him more confidence. We should learn to be a light of hope in the darkest moments of someone's life; it is what gives life its deepest significance.

MIRROR - By Fathima Heena Hasmi

The only time that she remembered herself was when she saw her reflection in the ‘mirror’. She remembered her happy childhood days when she used to play with her barbie doll and shared her thoughts with it. But during each stage of her growth the society started to judge her. They found mistakes in everything that she did. There were the society’s influence behind each and everything that she did. She did her best to be an ideal teen, but no one noticed her efforts except her parents. And then she decided “let the world say whatever they want”! And then she realised that, the first thing to do to stay happy is that to stop thinking what others say about her. The realisations that she made were: it’s okay to be imperfect, it’s okay to be independent, it’s okay to choose a different subject to study, it’s okay to choose her career by herself, it’s okay to travel alone, it’s okay to hangout with her loved ones, it’s okay to dress-up the way she wants, it’s okay to be skinny/chubby, it’s o

Little Things - By Liya Bobby

In today’s fast paced world, I believe we tend to forget to live for ourselves. We are pushed and forced to run with the pace, and so we do. But honestly if we think, what are we going to gain for pushing our lives like this? Are we seizing the day? Are we making it count? Are we living it to the fullest? Every night before you go to bed, is there something special your mind alerts you, that you could have done? Or even you should do in the future? I’ll tell you, that is your heart’s desire, which is something you should chase after. The world has been running at its fast pace chasing money, fame and comfort for long and it is not under our control. What we can do is to make a choice, a choice to run a little behind and enjoy what our Earth has offered to us while we can. Let us abandon our grudges and hate and focus on positivity and spreading love because life is too short to hold grudges against our foe.  We should take time to look at the serene blue sky, observe the green leaves a

A Life in the Sunshine by Nandanalakshmi M

The great bursts of leaves, its nascent luster  Along with the embellished blue azure; It emanates those evocations again and again  world I always aspired as a permanent fixture. Those days were never cognate to my dispatched bustles,  Just something with a life, full of gaieties. A blistering and blissful summer, which induces infinite remembrances beyond any bounds. My grandparents waited impatiently for my arrival with the whole house and garden being ready and stabilised;  And when I reached, I saw a flare in those eyes, Out of an intense serenity when the most awaited guest comes. We mention summer to be a riot time, or  An extraordinary daylight savings time But for me, it was all secured to heal the wounds  By the occult power of nature for mending minds I enjoyed those delightfully rich desserts grandma made  And taught my grandpa those sensational Snapchats! I had days to restore my childhood with cousins,  With cat’s cradle, peekaboo and hopscotches. We explored the tailor-
