The Magic of Storytelling

        Storytelling is an ancient art that has always captivated us. From fairytales to myths, stories transcend age, culture, and time. They entertain, educate, and even heal. This is beautifully portrayed in the National Award-winning Marathi film ‘Ekda Kay Zala’ by Saleel Kulkarni, where the main character, Kiran, played by Sumeet Raghvan, uses storytelling to inspire and educate his son and students, showing just how powerful a story can be—especially in tough times.      Now, let’s face it—kids love stories. And why wouldn’t they? Stories are like magic carpets that take them away to far-off lands where anything is possible. They can be knights battling dragons, astronauts exploring new planets, or even talking animals learning life lessons. Just think of how a simple story about a little mouse outwitting a sneaky fox can sneak in lessons about bravery and cleverness!      But what about children who struggle to sit still or focus? You can get creative! Use puppets, symbols, or e

Future of artificial intelligence

 Artificial intelligence is making changes in the world around us; still, its future contains much more surprises. The more we implement the use of AI into different spheres of our lives, the more interesting it becomes to find out what is waiting ahead. Let's take a look at some of the fascinating developments and possibilities AI holds for the future.  Smarter and More Human-like AI From natural language understanding to image recognition, AI has come a long way in replicating human capabilities. It won't be long until AI becomes even more advanced. Just imagine this: virtual assistants who do not understand only what you say but your emotions and context, too. New advances may open up avenues for even more natural ways of interacting with technology.  AI in Healthcare The most promising area of AI application is in healthcare. Today, AI systems help doctors all over the world to understand diagnose diseases more precisely and develop treatment plans tailored to the individ

Ghost towns and abandoned cities

"Nature reclaims what humans abandon, leaving behind a haunting beauty that echoes with stories untold." India has many incredible stories about ghost places and abandoned cities. I feel very curious in exploring such places and their back story. They all have fascinating glimpses of history.      Let me start with the one I have experienced this year in Rajasthan. Rajasthan is considered to have the greatest number of ghost towns and cities. Kuldhara village, Jaisalmer: In the 19 th century, villagers of Kuldhara were forced to leave their homes due to the cruel and brutal rule of the local Diwan, Salim Singh. This cryptic place is believed to be cursed by the villagers that that no one can inhabit it again. God did not want us to visit Kuldhara and so, we tried going there thrice but couldn’t because of some reasons. My experience was interesting but full of difficulties. I had the interest to explore and hence I did it. Few more such sites are Bhangarh fort (in the list of

Future of AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is on a trajectory to reshape our world in remarkable ways. As we look to the future, here are a few key developments to watch: 1. Smarter Collaboration: AI will increasingly work alongside humans, enhancing decision-making and creativity. Imagine AI tools that help you brainstorm ideas, analyse data, or solve complex problems more efficiently. 2. Revolutionizing Healthcare: AI promises to personalize medicine by tailoring treatments to individual patients. It’ll help doctors diagnose diseases earlier and predict health issues before they arise, making healthcare more effective and accessible. 3. Autonomous Systems: From self-driving cars to robots that can perform intricate tasks, AI will drive advancements in automation across industries. These technologies will boost efficiency and safety while reducing the need for manual labor. 4. Ethical Considerations: As AI becomes more integrated into our lives, ethical concerns like data privacy and algorithmic bi

Friends- A real treasure

 During our lifetime, we meet a lot of people and develop a lot of relationship, but only a few of them last forever. One such relationship is “ friendship ! ” As someone rightly said ‘ Friends are the family you choose. ‘ You may not always feel comfortable opening up or expressing your feelings with your family . At such time, friends come to your rescue. Friends are the one you feel at ease, sharing all your thoughts with , without the fear of being judgmental. They care for your well being . They are trustworthy and care about your feelings . They accept you as you are at the same time being, correct you when you go wrong. They are compassionate and forgive even when it’s your fault. True friends not only motivate you when you are down but also inspire you to achieve your true potential. The friendship of lord Krishna and Sudhama is a perfect example of true friendship. We need to value true friends, treasure and cherish their friendship are rare. Written by :- Labbdhi Gidiya -ICSE

Academics over Fitness

 Friends, we have noticed in our daily routine that several people advice multiple things. For example, a school teacher tells the children tips or facts related to academics, whereas a sports teacher may advice the children something related to sports. This is common and students might get confused by this.      I always thought that academics is better than fitness and it is. Most of the elders at my home and some of my cousins always ask me about my latest results at school. Only some of the people talk to me about sports and fitness. Yes, I know that fitness is also important because it helps our body charge and makes an active mood. People also say that studies are boring. Yes, I do feel like that but, their celebration is a lot of fun. The results make us proud. This phrase below is heard by every student in the world.       If there is no pen, no study. No study, no trophy. No trophy, no college. No college, no job. No job, no money, and no money, nothing.  But what if I make so
