Truthfulness - Vinisha Choudhary

Truthfulness means the fact of being truth. Truthful people will understand themselves, and know their own strengths and weakness. Be accurate in their descriptions of themselves or others, so that they do not mislead others.

The truthful person is the one that always speaks, uses or professes the truth. It is a value that must be formed very early in children and as any value, it can be worked on all their activities, either at school or at home.

Being truthful makes you a better person as well as a better creature on earth. Truthfulness is essential and it's better to speak the truth and follow the lie. 

Being dishonest will make you lose your honesty and people's trust. The truthful person doesn't have to worry about the truth being revealed.

Truthfulness in public life is accordingly an ethical ideal. Seeking to learn the truth and communicate it accurately to other people are virtues that are necessary to a common form of life characterized by trust, respect and the protection of human dignity.

"THE GREATEST ADVANTAGE OF SPEAKING THE TRUTH IS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID."

हकीकत - खुश राजपुरोहित

कहते हैं वो हमें भींगना नहीं आता

बादल की तरह कभी बरस कर तो देखो

कागज़ की कश्ती एक हम भी बनाएंगे

आंगन से कभी हमारे गुज़र के तो देखो।

कहते हैं वो हमें इठलाना नहीं आता

सर्द हवाओं सी गुज़र कर तो देखो

स्पर्श से तुम्हारे संवर जाऊंगा, मैं

सांसें हमारी कभी छु कर तो देखो।

कहते हैं वो हमें उभरते नहीं आता

सुरज के तरह चमक कर तो देखो

पलकें झुका कर हम सुनते रहेंगे

आंखे उठा कर कुछ कह कर तो देखो।

वो कहते है हम में बचपना नहीं है

बर्फ की तरह बरस कर तो देखो

मासूमियत ज़रा तुम्हें हम भी दिखाएंगे

अपनी गोद का सिरहाना बना कर तो देखो।

भींगना इठलाना हमें भी आता है

तुम मौसम के तरह उभर कर तो देखो

अंदाज हमारा ज़रा हम भी दिखाएंगे

ख्वाबों से हकीकत में कभी आ कर तो देखो।

रोज आते हैं बादल

छेड़ जाता है सूरज,

ये हवाएं भी अपनी सी लगती है

वो छवि जो सपनों में देखीं थीं हमने

वो शायद हकीकत में किसी से तो मिलती है

क्या देखीं होगी उन्होंने भी हमारी छवि

और सपने हमारे और हमारी शिकायतों को लेकर,

चलो अब मिल जाओ कहीं नींदों से परे

सपनों को हकीकत बना कर तो देखो।

मिल जाए कहीं तो जाने ना देंगे

खुद में उन्हें समां लेंगे हम

एक टक हमें बस सुनते रहे वो

और बस हंस कर बातें सुनाते रहे हम

और बस हंस कर बातें सुनाते रहे हम।।

कोरोना को हराना है - हेतल वैष्णव

कोरोना को हराना है

मिलकर कोरोना को हराना है,

घर से हमें कहीं नहीं जाना है,

हाथ किसी से नहीं मिलाना है,

चेहरे पर हाथ नहीं लगाना है,

बार-बार अच्छे से हाथ धोते जाना है,

सेनेटाइज करके देश को स्वच्छ बनाना है,

बचाव ही इलाज है, यह समझाना है,

कोरोना से हमें नहीं घबराना है,

सावधानी रखकर कोरोना को मिटाना है,

देशहित में सभी को यह कदम उठाना है।

Cooking is Love - Kesar Sompura

Cooking is a good hobby which I have. I cook many dishes at home; I also bake cakes of different flavours like chocolate, vanilla strawberry etc.

I can show my creativity through, and I really enjoy cooking. I love to try new dishes. In the beginning, when I didn't know how to make dishes, I started watching dishes from YouTube and tried to make them so. I used to stand with my mother in the kitchen and watch how she cooked. It is a good activity to engage our minds. I love it because cooking gives me a chance to be creative. Cooking is one of the best ways to learn important life skills. I love to mix flavours and taste them. It's fun to cook. I bake a cake on the birthday of my family members.

Kindness and Happiness - Laxman Parmar

Within my 17 years of birthday celebrations, I felt like changing my usual way of celebrating this time. Instead of wasting money on cakes and cold drinks, I went to an ashram in Sheoganj, where I found many aged people with some mental issues. I felt pity for them, but I had the last idea about the reason for their mental issues.

Diverting my mind from the sadness, I decided to give them a short phase of joy. I did my cake cutting and served food to all of them, and was overwhelmed on seeing the joy on their faces as it was perhaps their first time they did the birthday cake cutting with someone.

After all the celebration, I received so many expensive gifts from them in the form of kind blessings, then I had to leave them with a goodbye and some beautiful lifetime memories.

Take Responsibility of Your Actions - Raviraj Singh Sonigara

The pandemic period has forced everyone to stay in their house. Due to this, there is the storage of food materials. So, the price of food materials is also increasing. The poor people cannot buy this expensive food material, their condition is terrible. 

I would like to share an incident that took place with me on 10th March. When I felt bored during the daytime, I came and sat near the window and gazed outside. Suddenly I caught sight of a beggar sitting in the shade. Expressions on his face showed that he was hungry, so I decided to give a food packet and a water bottle to the beggar. After some, sometimes I went outside to give the packet of food and water to the beggar. When the beggar saw me, he tried to cover his face with his clothes and asked me to stand away from him. This thought left me overwhelmed. I put the packet of food and water and watched from my house to see what he was doing. The beggar got up, cleaned the place, washed his hands, took the packet and thanked me. He sat down under the tree and had his food.

I was happy that even he was also showing his responsibility towards his country and maintaining social distancing. I would like to end by quoting, 'The real freedom of any individual can always be measured by the amount of responsibility he must assume for his welfare and security.’

Happiness and Me - Susan Marandi

 "All these kids are icebergs; we only see the tip." -a character in the show Castle.

We all are like icebergs; people only see some qualities and a part of us. But how many of us know our real us, our real side? Very few or none of us know 100% of ourselves, but there is nothing wrong with that. If you don't know what you are passionate about, it's ok. If you don't know what your talent is, it's ok. You at least have to give it a try to show the real you to the world and, most importantly, to yourself. Because that is what gives happiness to you. And that's what really matters.

Something I wonder about. . . . .

What if life is a dream and death is the end of that dream. When you wake up, you realize it was all a dream, and you have another chance to live and correct the mistakes you made in your dream. And have another chance to fulfil every dream of yours. It might be wonderful, right? But this won't happen in real life, so fulfil and achieve every dream of yours in this life and live every moment as if it's never gonna come back.

Courage - Rishabh Sheikh

I believe that one of the solutions to overcome fear is to develop courage. Courage is the mental and emotional preparedness and ability to deal with difficult, challenging, and sometimes seemingly impossible circumstances. 

Courage is a highly prized virtue, and many famous and respected people have spoken or written about it over the year. We probably all have an idea of what we mean by courage or bravery, as it is sometimes known.

I learned that courage is not the absence of fear but the triumph over it. The brave man is not one who does not feel afraid; he is ready to face it.

Don't Judge Me - Rahul Vaishnav

I don't need the army,

I have my sword,

Please don't judge me, 

You are not the lord,

One day I won't have a single but collection of ford,

Your thinking for me won't make me frown,

Your vibes won't let me down,

Beware, I'm coming for my crown.....
