Life from the eyes of trees

Through the eyes of trees, life is slow and timeless. They witness seasons, creatures, and changes in the world around them, feeling each sunrise and sunset. Rooted in place, they grow steadily, adapting quietly, watching humans rush by. Trees endure, connected to the earth, resilient, and part of a story far beyond a single lifetime.

How would Cinnamon feel if he meet his birth parents?

At the time of meeting his birth parents, Cinnamon would have been filled with a lot of emotions and at the same time having a lot of questions about their identities. This would have been a very emotional meeting. Also Cinnamon will start feeling a sense of completion after meeting his birth parents as he will get the answers to all the questions he has had within him for a long time and the feeling of loneliness and depression he was tolerating may also diminished by meeting his birth parents and may start feeling soothing.

Do Dreams Show Our Future?

Dreams are the whispers of our future, gently guiding us towards the possibilities yet to unfold.
I have been pondering this quote since the start of my adolescence. The reason I am thinking about it may be late, as my dreams in childhood were just fantasies. An Island with a big castle made of rocks, above the clouds, an orchard full of roses, wearing a ball gown. - Gaurangi 9th

It reflects on the significance of dreams, suggesting that they are more than just experiences during sleep. The text emphasizes that dreams are moments of life that help us understand ourselves better. It also touches on the idea of travelling through time, both technologically and philosophically, indicating that dreams can inspire and shape our reality. - Ibadat 6th

The chapter discusses a theme from the Jataka tales, specifically mentioning King Pasenadi and his dreams. This chapter explains that these dreams symbolize future moral and social decline, but the Buddha reassures the king that these events will not occur in his lifetime. It also includes motivational reflections, emphasizing the importance of believing in the beauty of dreams and the power within oneself to make dreams a reality. - Aadya 6th

It explores the idea that dreams are thoughts held within our subconscious mind, likening them to movies with a twist. The chapter suggests that decoding dreams is like interpreting encrypted messages sent from our brain, posing questions about what our subconscious mind wants us to know and what we can learn from our dreams about our emotions and ourselves. - Sanskriti 6th

Friendship - Priyanshu Adha

Today I will share what friendship means to me. Friendship is a small word, but it has the whole world in itself only. That’s why this relationship must be pure, and the whole relationship is based on simply trust. It is the most precious gift of life. Friends are those who help you, enjoy with you, understand you. We know many people in our life, but not all are friends. Friendship is the most valuable relationship in the life of a person.

Real friendship is the relationship of two or more trusting each other and not expecting anything in return. Friendship is the way of being lovable and trust each other. We must preserve it throughout our lifetime.

Kindness and Happiness - Laxman Parmar

Within my 17 years of birthday celebrations, I felt like changing my usual way of celebrating this time. Instead of wasting money on cakes and cold drinks, I went to an ashram in Sheoganj, where I found many aged people with some mental issues. I felt pity for them, but I had the last idea about the reason for their mental issues.

Diverting my mind from the sadness, I decided to give them a short phase of joy. I did my cake cutting and served food to all of them, and was overwhelmed on seeing the joy on their faces as it was perhaps their first time they did the birthday cake cutting with someone.

After all the celebration, I received so many expensive gifts from them in the form of kind blessings, then I had to leave them with a goodbye and some beautiful lifetime memories.
