How I am preparing to face the world - Tenzin Jambey

Everyone will come across people stronger than them in their lives. The day will come when we must look after our family and ourselves. Nothing is permanent in this world, everyone will have to leave this world behind, but we can have a good, memorable time by preparing ourselves right now to face the world in future.

Like everyone else, I am also preparing myself for the future. No one will do it for me; I will make myself ready for this world. The thought of how my future would look often comes to my mind, but that is the most exciting thought. Everything will turn out fine if I manage to prepare myself.

The outside world is both different and challenging. I am presently studying in a hostel where I am protected and in a safe environment and provided with all the necessities for which I am really thankful. I don't know about the difficulties faced in the outside world. You have to fight tough to get an opportunity, and you might fail when you get it. There will be times when you might be betrayed by your own people, so you must be extra mindful about all such things.

Therefore, I am preparing myself, observing things by interacting with many people, noticing what others think, trying to understand their mentality, being strong and tough and avoiding distractions. As I had mentioned, everyone is different, so my way of preparing myself is also other.

What do I Value the most ? - Anvesha Rana

  Joyful Days and Fun chimes, 

With our loved ones are the best times,

Laughter surrounds us, and smiles spread, 

As family and friends meet.

We may always want to be there, 

With our family and friends,

But Alas! Not how our life wishes. 

But the cycle continues. 

And being the captain hurts,

For wasting time, we can’t afford

And to be lost amid not a good record. 

Time continues, 

Living never stops, 

It does not wait for you,

It goes on. 

But as time passes, 

We ameliorate and improve, 

Unlike stagnant water, we always groove

For we become better with every move. 

I value my loved ones for being with me, 

I love my time, for it is precious, 

I love my Improvements as I move forward, 

I love my life the most.

How Can I Ever Forget You? - Vani Pandey

'Come out and play. The weather is so good outside. You have been sitting there for a long time,' said Lia.

'I just want to sit here and do nothing. And you know I enjoy solitude. I don't want anybody's company,' said Amy.

'But I don't like seeing you all day in one corner. Doesn't your body ache?' Lia asked with curiosity.

'I am pretty used to being like this. Why don't you go hang out with Joe?' asked Amy.

'You know I am your sister, and I still care for you a lot. You expect me to leave you just the way you are,' said Lia. 

'I know that. I just don't want you to waste your time caring for me. You should have forgotten me by now,' said Amy sadly.

'How can I ever do that?' asked Lia.

Just then, Lia's mother- Dory, came into the room.

'Who are you talking to, Lia? Asked Dory.

'No one, mother. Just the toys,' said Lia.

Dory smiles and leaves.

Lia sighs and continues talking to the photo.
