എൻ്റെ അമ്മ

അമ്മയോളൊമൊന്നില്ല ഭൂമിയിൽ സ്നേഹത്തിൻ നിറകുടമെന്നമ്മ
ഹൃദയം കൊണ്ടന്നെ അദ്യം സ്നേഹിച്ചതെന്നമ്മ
അദ്യ ചുവടുകൾക്ക് താങ്ങായതെന്നമ്മ
അദ്യാക്ഷര നുകരുന്നു തന്നതെന്നമ്മ
രാവും പകലും കൂട്ടായി ഉണ്ടെന്നമ്മ
ഭൂമിയിലെ മാലാഖയാണമ്മ
എന്നിക്കായ് ത്യാഗങ്ങൾ സഹിച്ചതെന്നമ്മ
അമ്മ നോവിൻ പകരമൊന്നില്ല
ഭൂമിയിൽ
തിർവ്വചിക്കാൻ കഴിയാക്കത്തൊരീണ മാണെന്നമ്മ

Smile

Smiling is one of the simplest and most powerful expressions that humans possess. It's a universal language that transcends cultures, languages, and geographical boundaries, conveying happiness, warmth, and friendliness. A smile has the incredible ability to brighten up someone's day, establish connections, and create a lasting impression.

The impact of a smile extends beyond social interactions. Research has shown that smiling can have profound effects on our physical and mental well-being. When we smile, our brain releases endorphins, also known as "feel-good" hormones, which improve our mood and reduce stress levels. This phenomenon is often referred to as "facial feedback theory." Essentially, our facial expressions influence our emotions, and smiling tricks our brain into feeling happier.

Moreover, smiling has been linked to numerous physical health benefits. Studies have found that smiling can lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, and even reduce pain. The physical act of smiling relaxes facial muscles, reducing tension and promoting relaxation.

In conclusion, a smile is much more than just a facial expression. It's a powerful tool that can transform our lives and the lives of those around us. So, let's spread joy and positivity by sharing our smiles generously.

The Power Of Kindness

In a world that sometimes feels overwhelming, kindness can be a powerful force for good. While it may seem like just a simple gesture, a kind word or action can have a ripple effect that spreads far beyond the moment. Whether it's helping a friend, supporting a classmate, or simply offering a smile to someone who looks down, kindness has the ability to brighten someone's day—and possibly change their lives

Kindness is often overlooked, but its impact on both individuals and communities is immense. Studies have shown that acts of kindness release chemicals in the brain like oxytocin and serotonin, which make both the giver and the receiver feel happier and more connected. This is why we feel a sense of joy when we do something good for others, whether it’s helping someone carry their books or complimenting them on a job well done.

Kindness also helps to create a more positive school environment. When students are kind to one another, it leads to stronger friendships and a greater sense of belonging. This can reduce bullying and help everyone feel more included, which is especially important in creating a supportive school community.

The Impact of Climate Change

Climate change is a big issue for our planet. It makes temperatures rise, which leads to more heatwaves and extreme weather, like droughts and floods. When ice at the poles melts, sea levels go up, putting animals and coastal areas in danger.

Many plants and animals find it hard to survive as their homes change, which can lead to fewer species. Climate change also affects our health by increasing air pollution and threatening our food and water supplies.

To help fight climate change, we all need to take action. Simple things like saving energy and using clean energy can make a difference. By working together, we can protect our planet for the future.

Shaheen Mistri, founder of Teach for India

The social activist and Teach For India founder speaks about her vision of reshaping the entire education system into a holistic syllabus that not only maximises the potential of each child but also organically instils empathy.
Upon receiving an invitation to hear Shaheen Mistri deliver one of two keynote addresses at the Leaps of Knowledge 2018 conference at JW Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur, I did what anyone would and looked her up online. Cue crippling self-admonishment and sombre questioning of my life’s purpose, a common side-effect of a job that puts you in touch with some of the brightest minds and biggest hearts out there.

The Mumbai-born social activist founded the Akanksha Centre in 1991 as a college student to provide education for children who roamed the streets. The volunteer-based project eventually evolved into the Akanksha Foundation, a non-profit organisation that uses award-winning innovative methodology in after-school tutoring and has reached 6,500 children in Mumbai and Pune to date.

And Mistri’s ambition has only grown since, if ambition is the right word. Can ambition truly be selfless? For that seems to be a central trait in the way she grapples with India’s education system, one she believes is entrenched in rigid, myopic thinking and expressed in outdated syllabi and unequal access. Her relentless efforts led to her founding Teach For India in 2008, employing the proven Teach For America model to engage highly qualified graduates and young professionals in the education of students in rural or disadvantaged communities.

THE SPIRIT OF THE GAME

In fields of green where dreams take flight,
Beneath the sun, in the fading light,
Athletes strive with hearts ablaze,
Chasing glory through sweat and praise.

The whistle blows, the crowd's alive,
With every pass, the hopes revive,
A dance of skill, a test of might,
Together we rise, united in fight.

Victory's sweet, but loss will teach,
In every game, new heights we reach,
Through joy and pain, we find our place,
In the spirit of the game, we embrace.

-Marvan Abdul Rasheed(10A)

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go

Life is a barren field Frozen with snow.
