LEARNING IS LIFE

Bhagavad Gita's timeless life lesson of mastery over mind: A poem The mind, tells Gita, a friend, a foe we know, Unchecked, it wreaks a havoc in our breast. Like wild horses, it will swiftly go, Leaving us in turmoil, finding no rest. But calm it down, with steady gaze and thought, Through discipline, a quiet path we find. With mindful steps, the battles we have fought, Begin to cease, leaving peace behind. Through meditation, stillness we embrace, A gentle strength, a spirit calm and bold. Emotions soften, finding their true place, A story of resilience to be told. So train your mind, its power to control, And find true peace within your very sou

 Bane of specialization and boon of holistic learning: A Poem When fields get so narrow and deep, Your thoughts start to slumber and sleep. With one single view, And biases true, Your knowledge, it's hard now to keep. But learning both wide and so grand, Lets visions expand through the land. With minds open wide, And nothing to hide, True wisdom you'll surely command. Kishore's (2026) poem contrasts the limitations of narrow specialization with the advantages of integrated, whole-brain education. It emphasizes that holistic learning fosters spiritual and emotional intelligence by bridging the sciences with the arts. Reference  Kishore, L. (2026,. May 30)..

  FLOP EXAM SYSTEM'S FLOP ON-SCREEM-MARKING The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) introduced On-Screen Marking - OSM. - a digital evaluation system where physical answer books are scanned and evaluated by teachers on computers instead of checking paper booklets manually. It was touted that OSM will improve efficiency, accuracy, and transparency in public exams However, the students and parents raised concerns over discrepancies and unexpected low marks in subjects like Physics and Mathematics. All kinds of glitches were revealed during the re-evaluation and verification processes. TWO LIMERICKS 1. WHAT WAS TOUTED The old ways were messy and slow, Where students' worries would grow. But OSM's design, Makes results align, And truth in each score will flow. 2. WHAT HAPPENED With OSM, marks no more true, Lots of confusion for me and you. Physics, math's fright, Now shine ever bright, And glitches all the more in view.

  Here is a quintain (a five-line poem) capturing the essence of the Gita's teachings on detachment and modern well-being through 'Nishkam Karma' Precept: Quintain Amidst the noise of modern strain, When outcomes fuel an anxious heart, We learn to let the fruits remain, And master true detachment's art; In mindful effort, peace we gain. THE GITA VERSE “कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्तेमाफलेषुकदाचन। माकर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मातेसङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥” (Bhagavad Gita 2.47) citations Detached action teaching of the Gita resonates with modern stress management, mindfulness, and positive psychology frameworks. In an era of high professional burnout, academic competition, and global mental health crises, the Gita’s principle of detachment provides a pathway to resilience and balance. It encourages individuals to focus on effort and process rather than outcomes, reducing anxiety and fostering psychological well-being — values deeply relevant to health professionals, educators, and global organizations...

  Acceptance and meditative self-awareness set us free: A poem Through clear, witness acceptance, all strife ends, We stop futile fight 'n let the struggling cease; The energy for healing now descends, And right-directed action brings us peace. Meditate to create a sacred grace, Still fleeting mind and let the silence fall, And in that quiet, meditative space, We hear the constant noise that dims us all. We see how thoughts can stir an angry sea, Yet from these patterns we can step apart; From fear and insecurity set free, A quiet distance anchors in the heart. This deep awareness stills the rushing tide, And leaves us freedom where we once had cried

Amnesty International Day is celebrated every year on May 28, commemorating the founding of the organization in 1961. This global movement aims to shed light on human rights issues around the world, promote gender justice, and organize the yearly "Write for Rights" campaign. On this day, a detailed annual report is released, documenting human rights violations, abuses of power, and government hostility in different regions.

This crackdown and the subsequent halt of operations stem from sev...
