this is a letter intended for high school students everywhere. Maybe this applies to you and maybe not. Maybe you read it and think back to your high school days and realize, “that was so me.” Maybe not. Either way, read this with an open mind, an open heart, and minimal eye rolling please. Because I’m telling you the secrets behind me being a highschool student; all the deep dark truths behind my methods and strictness that you might not realize. I’m speaking to you frankly because I know you’re equipped to take a real assessment of yourself after being confronted from a place of care. In fact, school isn’t even your great challenge, can you believe it? Life is. You know, that “life” that exists beyond the brick walls of our school, the one that is going to throw you way more curve balls than the drama you immerse yourself in? There are more important issues that wait for you, far greater than feeling tempted to cut corners, cheat, or maybe even lie to turn in a 10 point homework...

Adolescence and emotion. Why there is more emotional intensity to manage during adolescence. Adolescence can be a highly emotionally charged time of life. The loss of childhood is so painful, the developmental challenges are so daunting, the vulnerability from insecurity is so great, the demands of growth are so many, the conflicts over independence are so frustrating, and the experience of growing older is so exciting. During this more intense period of growth, it is helpful for parents (through example and instruction) to help their adolescent learn to manage emotions in ways that work well and not badly for all concerned, always remembering that now is later. The adolescent is just an adult in training, and the tools for emotional management learned with parents will be carried forward into significant relationships later on. "I learned to shut up about my feelings living with my parents, and now in marriage my wife complains I refuse to open up with her." It's ea...

Forgotten words of a cynic                              By: suman All my reveries are vanished. They are blindly took off in the wind. As just like the destination on a curving path , is not finished. No one is praising. No one is kissing. Everyone is pretend to be sighing. Again tired and worn out from a another useless day. Every drop of tears slipped on my cheeks. I was treated as like a useless freak. Every possible judgement was done. Now it's being clueless to anyone. Having no longer wish to live. In this world of broken promises. Where loved ones lives in lies, and slowly fadeway and diminish. I  just want to be dead. No, not a penny time to be misguided. And hope, there is some short heaven over the rainbows, lie down in Meadows. There is nothing left in this place. All my dream are harshly snatched and awfully dist...

Ever you really Admired?                            : Suman                             Ever you really Admired how is it like to be as a unfamiliar? Like a fish out of water Like a teardrop in a loud laughter Impatiently sought out your deep anger Like love in a heart of a hater! Is it quite practically Improper ? Ever you really Admired how is it like to feel miserable? Like a drop in the insane ocean Like a needle in a large haystack Lost in frazile dilemma ... that you don't know white from black! Like walking straight to a destination When you know there is no way to go back! Ever you really Admired how is it like to feel so confused? That you don't know , when you're treated nicely And when you are abus...

मेरे नाखुदा मेरे राह पर, मेरे रहनुमा मेरे हमसफ़र, लग जा सहे तू अज़ीज़ तक, तू कंहा गया मुझे छोड़ कर। मेरे शीशेही दिल को तोड कर, तू कंहा गया मुझे छोड़ कर, My Lord, My eternal companion on the road. You were so dear to my heart, Why did you leave me ? Why did you break my heart made of glass ? Where d...

You know this letter is for you and I want to tell you one thing – you aren’t alone! I have been there myself. I loved people who did not love me back. I sent double texts and didn’t receive any. I gave people second chances even when they didn’t deserve one. I let people walk all over me and still allowed them to come back into my life. I have been in your shoes! I have loved boys who didn’t deserve my love. I thought that if I loved them enough, they would eventually love me back. Boys who made me think something was wrong with me. Boys who made me change myself to their liking. But darling, please don’t do this to yourself. You will find someone who will love you for you. And that person will not only love you, he will respect you and your decisions. Wait for him! I had also diligently stalked  that girl ’s Instagram and then cried myself to sleep. For various reasons – I wasn’t pretty enough, my face wasn’t s...

"मैं एक अकेला और चार दीवार"                                            _सुमन मैं  एक अकेला और चार दीवार ,      कुछ गहरी यादें , उन सपनों के पार । मै बैठा किसी कोने में ,      तुम गुमशुदा सी उस सरहद पार । तुम चंचल कोमल उस न्यार की भांति ,       मै डमरू भोलेबाबा की सिंगार । तुम निराश उस पथिक की तरह       मैं शीतल छांव एक बरगद झाड़ । वो गांव की गलियां , खेत की हरियाली ,     मुझे पुकारे मेरे ख्यालों में । सायद  ना देख पाउं मुन्ना मुन्नी को     उन बगीचे और खेत खलिहानों में । मै फिर भी बड़ा जिद्दी हूं ,     उन पलों से खुशियां पाने को । जो पल औझल हो चुके हैं ,      उन्हें जेंहैैं से वापस लाने को । मात...

Friends from our  childhood  or  adolescence are special, no matter how much time has elapsed between visits. These compelling connections are the result of shared roots during the formative years. Our childhood friends and teenage sweethearts experienced with us all the wonderful, horrible, boring, and embarrassing moments that helped to make us who we are today. Yet, when children are young,  parents  may regard these relationships as insignificant. If the family must move to a new community and the children's close friends must be left behind, so what? They will make new friends, the parents assure them. But, is a friend as interchangeable as a new toy for an old one, or is there more to  friendship  than that? Why are we so elated to rediscover long lost friends in our adult years if, as some parents believe, they were so dispensable to us as children? Even more belittled by many parents is a teenager's (or preteen's)  love  for a b...

My entry into a college after I had completed my school education was an important event in my life. I felt very much excited on the very first day. I found that there is a great difference between school and college life. The world of the school is narrow and limited. The world of the college is large. Teachers in a school are strict and use the rod to beat the boys very frequently. College teachers are like elder brothers. Most of the teachers in a college live in the world of ideas and books. We have students of all kinds in a college. They discuss the current affairs, art, cinema and sports. Some of them neglect text books but they do not miss the daily newspaper or the running commentary of a cricket match going on in some part of the world. Some of them would even engage the teachers in class in a political topic and discuss it fully. There is a lot of freedom in the collage in the school I was busy from the first period to the last. But in the collage I attend classes for ...

One of the most debated topics in competitions and group discussions is Indian Culture Vs Western Culture. They are diametrically opposite to each other. As a coin has two sides, both cultures all have some merits and demerits.  Indian culture  is a mix of diversities in customs, rituals, traditions, language, etc., that varies from region to region within the country. It is one of the oldest and a combination of various cultures. On the other hand,  Western culture , it is quite advanced and open. The norms, beliefs, values, traditions, customs and practices are greatly inspired by European culture. Moreover, Western Culture includes British culture, French culture, Spanish culture .
