Book Review by Dr. Deepikha Barathan.

 We welcome you all to the Book Review Series !!!
Enjoy one of the best book reviews by us as we present them before you. 

We thank ma'am for sharing her review with us. 

One book that inspired me is "Where the Forest Meets the Stars" by Glendy Vanderah.The novel talks about three characters: Jo Teale, Gabriel Nash, and Ursa. Jo is an ornithologist and does research. She is accompanied by Gabriel Nash and Ursa. The relationship between the three members is beautifully narrated in the novel. Ursa is a mysterious character and has been dislocated from the home. The three members have trauma. Jo lost her parents, and Gabriel lost his parents. Ursa's parents are toxic. It is through Jo, that Ursa gets proper care, love, and shelter. The chapter wherein Ursa is admitted in hospital is an example of the love showered on her by Jo. Gabriel and No are in a relationship. They take a lot of effort to handover ursa to her parents. They spend all their time in the Kidney property in the Forest. The background is a serene beauty. The novel ends with the disclosure of Ursa's belonging. Do give it a read, the novel is worth it!

Dussehra: The Victory That Lives Within.

Image
 Every year, as the evening sky glows with the burning effigies of Ravana, Meghnath, and Kumbhkaran, we celebrate the triumph of good over evil. But beyond the fireworks and festivities, Dussehra is more than a historical event - it is a mirror that reflects our inner battles.  Ravana, with his ten heads, was not just a king. His ten heads represented anger, arrogance, lust, jealousy, attachment, hatred, ego, selfishness, and injustice - these demons still reside in us silently. Lord Rama's victory was not only a triumph on the battlefield but also an eternal lesson: no matter how powerful or deeply rooted the demon is, it can never outshine righteousness and truth.  In today's fast-paced world, the relevance of Dussehra has not only grown, but we are also facing battles on social media, against corruption around us, against inequalities, and, most importantly, against the weaknesses within us.  It is easy to cheer when the towering figure of Ravana collapses into fl...

  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...
