  We congratulate the Creative Pen Awards Winners -  1. Dr. Arwa Saifi  Creative piece-  Lessons from Children about Joy and Simplicity Not long ago, I was sitting in a park, watching a little boy chase a butterfly. His laughter filled the air as he ran around in circles, trying his best to catch it. For him, that butterfly was pure magic. No toys, no screens, no distractions - just a moment of joy. And as I sat there, I thought to myself: When was the last time I felt that happy about something so small? Children have a way of reminding us that life doesn’t have to be complicated. Their little actions often hold the biggest lessons. If only we paused to notice, we’d see that they are our best teachers of joy and simplicity. Living in the Moment When a child plays, they are completely lost in it. Give them a colouring book, and the world outside disappears. Take them to a swing, and they’ll laugh with every push as if it’s the best day of their life. Unlike us, they ...

  We are fortunate to have with us Shamna T H, a passionate educator, writer, and resource person. She is a dedicated individual who aims to empower learners through innovative teaching, impactful communication, and personal development. Our Founder & Editor in Chief, Palak Chauhan ma'am, had the opportunity to interview her, and here's a sneak peek from the interview.  Q1. How has your belief that curiosity, creativity, and purpose intersect and shape your teaching philosophy and classroom practices?  Ans 1-  My belief that curiosity, creativity, and purpose intersect has strongly shaped my teaching philosophy. I believe learning should go beyond memorising and should help students discover, think, and connect learning to real life. Curiosity encourages students to ask questions and explore  ideas. Creativity helps them express what they understand in their own way. Purpose helps them understand why learning matters. Because of this,  I focus on creat...

  Thought Lantern is fortunate to portray the write-ups of amazing writers, and we appreciate their presence on this day to celebrate India's Republic Day.  "Freedom in mind, strength in words, pride in our souls. Jai Hind!" Our Republic Day Celebration Writers are -  1. Dr Arwa Saifi  Creative write-up -  Title - Wrapped in Saffron, White, and Green.  Every Republic Day morning feels different. The air carries a quiet calm, and somewhere between the winter chill and the distant echoes of patriotic songs, the tricolour finds its way into our hearts once again. Saffron, white, and green - three colours that are not just seen, but deeply felt. For me, Republic Day is not just about spectacle. It is about pausing, even if briefly, to acknowledge what these colours stand for. Saffron reminds me of courage and sacrifice - the countless unnamed individuals who gave their today for our tomorrow. White speaks of truth, peace, and the moral compass that our nation s...
