The power of the right to act, speak or think
as one wants and the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved
An example of the freedom part came in my life.
In 2020 there was no freedom because there was a lockdown, and because of the lockdown, there was no possibility to go out and do whatever we wanted, so that time, there was no freedom.

Ms Aishwarya Kalia Ahuja TGT English Ahlcon Public School I am an experienced English teacher. Alongside teaching, I enjoy writing. I've also authored research papers and published poems. I've a keen interest in research which is always leveraged in analyzing learners' language needs. COURAGEMy stories were dealt with mock and fun Sneers, taunts, sarcasm were all I won. All smiles I was in To not let anyone hear my lyrics. I showed Courage every time No matter what the atmosphere is! I needn't put on my armour and show my strength A clear conscience doesn't exhibit its defence. My silence would yell my feats They'd soon regret their mistreat. I'll smile in my lyrics No matter what the atmosphere is! Wheel of time would turn soon. They will dance to my tunes What if I ace up my sleeve In how much time they'd retrieve? All smiles I was in To not let anyone hear my lyrics I showed Courage every time No matter what the atmosphere is! |
Then along came Van Cough, the crazy painter. He was a strange guy who travelled all about, happily painting with his brush. It would be more accurate to say that he moved his brush about as if to paint; because he never put any paint on his brush, and neither did he use canvas or paper. He painted the air, and that's why they called him Can Gough. So, when he said he wanted to paint the colourless tiger, everyone had a good laugh. When entering the tiger's cage, he began whispering in the animal's ear and moving his dry brush up and down the tiger's body. And to everyone's surprise, the tiger's skin started to take on colour, and these were the most vivid colours any tiger had ever had. Van Cough spent a long time whispering to the animal and making slight adjustments to his painting. The result was stunning.
Everyone wanted to know what the painter's secret was. He explained to them that his brush was only good for painting real life and that to do that, he needed no colours. He had managed to paint the tiger using a phrase he kept whispering in its ear: "In just a few days, you will be free again, you shall see." And seeing how sad the tiger had been in his captivity and how joyful the tiger now seemed at the prospect of freedom, the zoo authorities transported him to the forest and set him free, where never again would he lose his colour.
Freedom for me is art. I can do art whenever I want. It's like I am inhaling the colours and exhaling them on the canvas.
I know finding out mistakes is easier and catchy to talk about. I faced this problem myself! Although I have a lot to appreciate, I used to find what I didn't have. I have worked on that mistake and have stopped complaining and enjoying what I have. It's a little tricky but the moment you think about the things you have - a home, good clothes, education which most people might not even have you feeling happy and grateful for what you have.
Hey! how old can he be...was the first thought that came to mind when I saw a hooded three feet nothing walking down the road that cold foggy morning. My frantic eyes searched for an adult. Should I stop? Should I report the matter at the police post around the corner? Should I just wait there for a while?
This is no time for someone so young to be on this lonely stretch of road. I looked for a turn to go back. The rearview mirror adjusted as far as the eye could see, I slowed down. Suddenly, he was nowhere to be seen!
Headlines flashed before me...I had to help. I turned and stepped on the gas. Everything sinister than I had ever heard of or read about came rushing by, only to come to a grinding halt. There he was, my little hooded runaway, nestling a pup under his jacket, returning the puppy to its mother. All of them, cocooned world of their own! After all, goodness still exists in this world.

In the reading session on 9/1/2022, I understood that compassion is essential for success.
Take the example of Princess Diana. Princess Diana had been involved in hundreds of charity events. She learnt sign language for the deaf and actively participated in the British Deaf Association. Also, she supported the Royal Marsden Hospital and became the president of Great Ormond Street Hospital for sick children. She was against those who afflicted AIDS and leprosy.
Sadly she died in 1997. Her works of compassion are always to be remembered. We should be compassionate and help those around us.
Based on the chapter Compassion from Is Your Child Ready To Face The World by Dr Anupam Sibal.
As some of us might know, compassion is the feeling of caring for someone. It is to feel for someone, understand one's sense and perform a kind gesture. That little gesture can change someone's life!
All of us are born with compassion and empathy. It is our choice to continue that or go on the wrong path. It might be difficult as most people tend to go on the wrong way.
Take the example of Mother Teresa-
At the age of twelve, Mother Teresa decided to become a nun. She saw the poverty in the world and decided to help the poor. She helped those who needed it the most.
It's similar to Princess Diana. Although she faced several obstacles, she helped several people. She talked about those who didn't care.
It doesn't matter how big or small your act is, but compassion is essential.
It is said that no one is born courageous, but one can develop a habit to be it. When I was 2 yrs old, I had a phobia of playing on swings, slides at the playground. My Mom started taking me to the garden regularly, where other kids of my age group used to play on slides very confidently and quickly; my mother encouraged me to do the same, but my little heart got filled with fear by the thought of climbing a slide. But, one day, I developed courage and mounted on the slide slowly with my mother’s help and then experienced its joy. I had conquered my fear forever. If I had not taken that small courageous action on that day, I would have missed all the fun and joy of playing with my peers in the playground.
One should have confidence in themselves; courage automatically follows. Whenever you face a problem, think for some time, and then find a solution and solve it.
Every season has a beautiful reason.
Every problem has a meaningful message.
All we need is a fresh vision.
