How I Pity A Blank Page - Reveda Bhat

So, I love art.

There’s this thing I hate in my sketchbook, and that’s a page left blank after I’ve moved ahead to the others by drawing something on them.

I feel like a blank page symbolizes an emotion not spilt, a colour not splashed, a treasure not discovered and a mystery not unfolded!

Actually, I’m someone who doesn’t keep anything I want to express to myself, so either I spill it out, or I draw.

Plus, a blank page in my sketchbook is a part of my life that seems insignificant when no moment, no minute and no day is!

So, whenever it’s like that, I go back to the pages to fill them in with the colours of my life, to the days to fill them with memories and bring them back. Getting a happy memory back brings a smile to my face, while when it’s a sad one, you can find the deep sorrow reflected in my sketches.

Either way, add just the colourful ones below.

Sayonara!

To smile every day - Rishona Chopra

I feel happy today,
An aim to smile every day.
It's a unique ray of hope,
That gives me a new scope.
To do something good,
I misunderstood,
The word happiness.
I thought there was a reason for this smile.
But all this while.
I was wrong to think,
That happiness could shrink.
It was something even more special,
That came from within and was sentimental.
I couldn't possibly want something more,
 But to be happier than before.

Teachnology: The necessary evil - Rishona Chopra

Technology is nowadays very advanced and provides us with all sorts of facilities. It is up to date and does all the work we can do, if not better. Many robots have also been developed that can do everything we can. They can talk and work the same way we do. On the other hand, this is a big problem and gives rise to unemployment. People are being replaced by machines. In factories, the same work people used to do is now done by machines. We can see this in one great work of literature - Charlie and The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. Charlie's father used to work in a factory, but soon his work was replaced by a machine. His work was the only source of income for the family, and we see how it affected his family a lot.

Why? Because robots took over their jobs. Also, robots are costly and cannot be afforded by everyone. This creates a more substantial divide between the poor and the rich. The small jobs we used to do ourselves are now being done by robots. This results in laziness and takes away our creativity to think and work. The jobs that look small and effortless mean a lot to the person who does them. That small job that Charlie's father used to do was. Even in our homes, the helpers who used to clean the house are replaced by robots. So many people are suffering because of the invention of robots. Think about those who have no income source to feed their family. Robots cannot feel as we humans do. Teachers have their unique way of teaching with feelings and understanding the student. Doctors have a unique touch with the patient; robots cannot replace these people because they are not as capable as we are. The most significant difference is that we are blessed with feelings so that we can understand each other, feel each other and instil values like empathy and kindness. If robots are replaced by humans, how will the world work? We, humans, were sent on Earth to work and do something good, but when all work is done by robots, then what is the point of us humans living? Why should we make such gadgets that do nothing but harm us?

What if our source of life disappered - Yashraj Sharma

 

George R.R. Martin rightly said that "Once the sun has set, no candle can replace it."

If our source of life, the Sun, were to disappear, humans would have no way to survive. You might have imagined that day, but what would happen if it happened? Our fate would be sealed. Seriously, what would happen on Earth? We would not notice anything until after eight minutes. There would not be any change in the temperature because our atmosphere and oceans have stored enough heat to last us a few weeks, but after that, things will start to get freezing. The ocean's surface would freeze over in two months, and humans would slowly disappear across the globe. As a result, there would be a lot of human carcasses lying around freely, as no one could bury the bodies properly, and they would rot away.

Let's now talk about what would cause mass disturbances in the solar system. The Earth's tilt would gradually increase because there would be no gravitational pull from the Sun. It would take longer to set it to a fixed tilt again.

The next question will come to us: will Earth stop moving?

The answer is no. Earth would continue to move at its original speed, just not on the path it used to. The planet would drift into interstellar space along with every other planet in our solar system. The entire world would be in a state of panic and worry. But we needn't worry about this happening anytime soon because the Sun cannot disappear and still has a long life to live!

Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied - Oshi Singh

Justice hurried is justice buried, but at the same time, justice delayed is justice denied. Time is not timeless; therefore, everything should be done and completed in a particular period now, be it your procrastinated homework or a case filed by your grandfather in 1962. According to the Union Minister of Law & Justice, Kiren Rijiju informed the Rajya Sabha on 2 August 2022 that there are around 71,411 pending cases only in the Supreme court, out of which about 42,000 patients are waiting for their judgment to be passed for over a decade. We are not even talking about the lower courts right now!  

It is still beyond the imagination of an ordinary man that the famous Mumbai Bomb Blast Case of 1993 is still partially undisposed! The mood question still remains. Is it OK for a person to waste precious time in litigation waiting indefinitely for justice to happen? Is it OK for the victims to wait to see the culprits face the music of justice? Is it fair for the innocents to see the light of day after a very long and unreasonable period only to find that the sad memories still haunt them? The court might remove the charges, but in society's eye, they'll always be remembered as the ones who went behind bars. Is this really justice? 

As per the Indian Constitution, Article 21 clearly states that the right to a speedy trial is a fundamental right given to all accused, and if denied, they can approach the Supreme Court. Although there are many great things about the Indian Judiciary, this is one of its major downfalls. Justice getting delayed makes the country lack on its way to development and makes people lose faith in the judicial system and humanity. It can also encourage the affected people to take the law into their own hands. If the delay continues, the judicial system will collapse, and one of the most essential pillars of democracy may have to bite the dust. 

To establish the rule of law more efficiently and effectively, the government, as well as the people of the country, should make more efforts to correct the delay by insisting on speedy disposal and getting the Indian Judiciary on track. The government can build more courts, hire more staff members and judges and enforce time-bound disposal while the people can protest, so the mute and inefficient government takes note of it. The people can also try solving minor matters among themselves instead of going to court every time.  

Justice is a compelling word. It may not mean the same for everyone, but it should always be served to everyone. It is no less than a basic necessity. After all, Martin Luther King Jr. rightly said that "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly."

Quality @ My Good School

Quality @ My Good School

My Good School Season 9, Episode 8.

Quality is defined as the standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind; the degree of excellence of something. But why is it important? Tune in to discover the enigma of quality.

Join Anvesha and Simar as they are back with a podcast this month. We welcome you to My Good School Show Episode 9, where passion meets education, and it is quality this time. Tune into this fruitful conversation where our friend Arav unfurls his stories. Join us in the celebration of Quality at My Good School and make it even more fun!

Paraphrased from The Little Book Of Values by Julie Duckworth
Quality • noun (pl. qualities) 1 the degree of excellence of something as measured against other similar things. 2 general distinctions. Three distinctive attributes or characteristics.

Children say Quality is: • Working together to get quality work in your books • Making sure you’ve got a great team • Achieving quality can make yourself and others feel good inside • It’s about not giving up on yourself; you need to believe that you can do it • You need quality to care for the world • Your teachers want you to have high standards and quality work. They plan good lessons so you can always do your best • If we think we can, we will do well. We say in our heads and out loud, ‘I can and I will.' Our thoughts need to be of high quality; there is no room for negative words • We need friends of good quality in our lives. The sort of friends who will stand by you when everything is down.
