My thoughts on teachers day

I don’t hold treasures made of gold,
But stories new and lessons old.
Each day I share a little light,
Hoping to guide a mind just right.
Sometimes strict, sometimes kind,
Always your growth is on my mind.
I cheer your wins, 
I feel your fall,
Your journey forward is worth it all.
If in your heart m³ŕþùññy words take root,
That is my prize, 
my sweetest fruit.
For every smile, each “now I see,”
Is the gift my students give to me.

Learning to Be Okay with Being Disliked

Learning to Be Okay with Being Disliked It’s uncomfortable to realise someone doesn’t like you. Even as adults, a part of us still wants to be understood, accepted, approved of. So when we feel disliked, the mind rushes to fix, explain, apologise. But here’s the quiet truth: being disliked is not a sign that you’re doing life wrong. It’s simply proof that you’re human — and so is everyone else. People interpret you through their own histories, insecurities, and expectations. Sometimes you’ll resonate with them. Sometimes you won’t. Learning to be okay with this isn’t about becoming tougher or colder. It’s about shifting your focus inward. Are you acting from your values? Are you speaking honestly? Are you being the version of yourself you respect? If yes, then you’re already on the right path — whether or not everyone applauds. The freedom comes when you stop trying to manage others’ opinions and start honouring your own truth. Not everyone will like you, but the people who matter will...

 I don’t light diyas for tradition alone. I light them because some days my chest feels like an unlit street, and I need proof that small flames still exist. I clean not just the house — I scrub the corners of old grudges, wash the dust off tired friendships, and give them a place back at my table. I share sweets to remind myself and others that life has not gone completely bitter, even if some months tasted like iron. I pray — not for money or miracles — but that I may wake tomorrow a little kinder than I was yesterday. And when the fireworks end and the town falls quiet, I hold one truth like a warm cup in my hands: we celebrate not because life is perfect, but because we still have the courage to hope in spite of it.                                                               -Sangeeta

Why Emotional Intelligence Should Be Taught in Schools

 Why Emotional Intelligence Should Be Taught in Schools  We all know school is packed with lessons — math, science, history, languages… the list goes on. But there’s one skill that rarely gets the spotlight, even though it’s essential for life: emotional intelligence (EI). Simply put, emotional intelligence is the ability to understand your own feelings, manage them wisely, and connect with the emotions of others. And honestly, it’s a skill that can make a huge difference in both school and life. School Beyond Books We spend years memorizing formulas, historical dates, and grammar rules, but how often do we learn how to handle stress before exams, manage friendship drama, or deal with disappointment? Emotional intelligence helps with all of this. It teaches students how to stay calm under pressure, think before reacting, and communicate in ways that actually help instead of hurt. Understanding Yourself Everything starts with self-awareness. When you can identify what you’re fe...
