Failure as Experience
In my opinion, we should discourage the use of the word "failure." It has been used so negatively in day-to-day life that it can only demean and demotivate people. Failure essentially means not achieving success in a particular attempt, but it can be better defined as gaining experience. Thomas Edison didn’t fail 999 times before inventing the lightbulb; he learned 999 ways not to make one.
In professional life, failure actually means accumulating experiences. When we start calling failures "experiences," we don't get demotivated or feel down. Instead, we can start again with new insights and renewed enthusiasm. Instead of asking how and why someone failed, we should ask what they learned from the experience and what their next plan is. Failures can be the best lessons and strong foundation stones upon which the palace of success can be built.

Those Amiable Souls
Yes, we are all humans, and we know how to treat people. Even today, there are those who treat others with respect and kindness, even if they haven't received the same in return. As we grow up, we realize what we've been through, but we might not take the time to reflect on how good we are. Whenever someone was dejected, we were there to help them through it. However, when people decide to change, it's not always easy, and the changes they make can sometimes hurt others' feelings. Even a small change in behavior can feel like a knife to the heart. Changes are necessary, but they should be made in a positive way, because what goes around, comes around.
Remember to keep appreciating those who care about you; otherwise, their kindness could turn into resentment. You might regret it one day if you treat people with ill intentions. Treat people well, because one day they might stand up for you. As the saying goes, "the more you give, the more you receive."

Pollution
Pollution is a major problem that occurs when harmful substances get into the air, water, or surrounding environment. It can come from factories, cars, or even from the way we dispose of our trash. Pollution is harmful because it can make people and animals sick, and it can also cause changes in the weather. This is why pollution is such a serious issue.
We can reduce pollution from vehicles by reducing the number of trips we take in our cars, avoiding the burning of leaves, trash, and other materials, and by not using gas-powered lawn or garden equipment. These actions can help lower the amount of pollution we create.

IOT
The Internet of Things (IOT) refers to the network of physical objects that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies, allowing them to connect and exchange data with other devices and systems through the internet. These devices range from ordinary household items to industrial tools. Today, there are more than 7 billion connected IoT devices, and experts expect this number to grow from 10 billion in 2020 to 22 billion by 2025. IoT has become one of the most significant technologies of the 21st century. We can now connect everyday objects like kitchen appliances, cars, thermostats, and baby monitors to the internet via embedded devices. 
With the aid of low-cost computing, the cloud, big data, analytics, and mobile technologies, physical things can share and collect data with minimal human intervention. In this hyperconnected world, digital systems can record, monitor, and adjust each interaction between connected things. While IoT has existed for some time, advancements in cloud computing, machine learning, analytics, connectivity, and low-cost, low-power sensor technologies have made IoT more accessible and practical.

Child Labor: Robbed of Childhood
Pretty dreaming minds. No rights even to dream!!  
Sparky, glittery eyes, Supposed to work without sleep!!  
Soft little fingers, No pens! Only bricks and blood!!  
Too-short tender legs. Shaking hard to reach the estimated wage!!  
No schools, no future for others. No work, no food for you!!  
"Ban child labor," says the society. Who made you poor?  
Being born poor in this society is not your fault.  
But in this poor society, it becomes your fault!
This beautiful poem, written by 'nivi,' made me think about this two-faced society that suppresses children in extremely poor households, forcing them into child labor. Child labor involves compelling children to take on responsibilities typically meant for adults, which robs them of their childhood. It is a common issue in underdeveloped countries. In child labor, children are made to perform tasks in environments that are mentally and physically harmful, depriving them of their fundamental rights. These rights include their opportunity to enjoy their childhood, receive an education, and find peace of mind.

The Puppet Show 
On Saturday, April 20, 2024, a captivating puppet show depicting the classic tale of "The Thirsty Crow" was staged at The Fabindia School. Organized for young learners, the event aimed to entertain while imparting valuable moral lessons.
The children were enthralled as the story unfolded through the skillful manipulation of colorful puppets. They eagerly followed the journey of the clever crow and his quest for water, learning about the importance of determination and resourcefulness.
Laughter and cheers filled the air as the crow's ingenuity led to a solution to his problem. Through this engaging medium, the children not only had fun but also grasped the story's moral lesson: the rewards of hard work and persistence.
The event was a resounding success, leaving a lasting impression on the young audience and reinforcing the significance of moral values in an enjoyable and interactive manner.

 Impact of Social Media on Teenagers 
Social Media has had a significant impact on teenagers, with both positive and negative effects. Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have become major distractions for students. Young boys and girls seem to be excessively addicted to these platforms, spending large amounts of time on them without much purpose. Wise people say that time well utilized is time well spent, but today's youth are primarily wasting time on chatting, messaging, uploading photos, and modifying profiles. Smartphones and 4G connections have exacerbated the situation. Accessing these sites has become so easy that young boys and girls use them almost everywhere and almost all the time.
On the other hand, social networking and media-sharing platforms have greatly improved convenience and efficiency for everyone. There's hardly a field where social networking and media are not being used! Education, industry, finance, defense, teaching, learning, research, medicine, accounting, entertainment, online education, telecommunication, media, and even space exploration all rely on the internet and computers.
Although social media can be a major distraction, it has also brought many benefits, making life and work much easier for everyone.

 Cultural Heritage 
Every day, people around the world celebrate their cultural heritage simply by living their lives in a way that reflects who they are and where they came from. But one day each year is set aside to celebrate the shared history and heritage of the human race. World Heritage Day encourages us to honor all of the world's cultures, raise awareness about important cultural monuments and sites, and emphasize the importance of preserving the world's diverse cultures.

 Life 
Life is like a seed, constantly growing. Every experience, whether good or bad, helps us rise higher. Just as a plant reaches for the sun, we reach for our dreams, overcoming challenges along the way. Growth isn't always easy, but it's essential for progress. Each obstacle we face lifts us to new heights, shaping us into stronger, wiser individuals. Embrace the journey, for in the struggle, we find our truest selves, elevated to greater heights of existence. Life's journey is a staircase; with each step, we ascend, growing taller with every stride.

 Exploring RIMC: A Journey Through Tradition, Discipline, and Leadership 
Visiting the Rashtriya Indian Military College (RIMC) in Dehradun was an enriching experience. As I stepped onto the campus grounds, I sensed the aura of discipline and tradition that permeated the environment.
I participated in the Hugh Catchpole English Debate, which was a wonderful experience. I learned many new things, including how national-level debates are conducted, how to effectively express my arguments and thoughts, and much more. 
During my interactions with the cadets, I got to know about their daily routines, dedication to duty, and the brotherhood among peers. I also had the chance to observe a parade and a drill demonstration, showcasing the precision and discipline instilled in every cadet.
While exploring the campus, I saw historic buildings, memorial halls, and museums that showcased the rich heritage and legacy of RIMC. The stories of alumni who have gone on to serve the nation with honor and valor also inspired me.
Throughout my visit, I gained a deep appreciation for the values of courage, leadership, and service that RIMC imparts to its students. My time at RIMC has left a lasting impression and instilled in me a sense of pride and respect for the institution and its noble mission.
Abhinav Singh Chouhan / XII

My experience at RIMC was ephemeral yet profound. I met people with different perspectives and learned a lot from them. The campus itself was a visual feast; the more I explored, the more I yearned to discover. Debate is a form of discussion more noble than any other, and attending such a prestigious event for debate and discussion was an unparalleled experience. New friendships were formed, and social media accounts were exchanged. Receiving praise from some of the best schools in the country helped me understand where I stood and motivated me to achieve more. I am now more excited about any future debate competitions in my academic journey. I would like to end by saying, “Just take what life throws at you.”
Anshuman Singh / XII

I was at the peak of my excitement when I first entered the gate. It read "Rashtriya Indian Military College," but I saw it as "The Gateway of Opportunities to Serve the Nation." As we walked through the campus, I felt a distinct vibe, a unique aura that set RIMC apart from other institutions. I met many new people and interacted with several excellent teachers. Although I usually struggle to make friends, I made many during this visit. Most of the students I met were older than me, offering me advice on academics, career paths, and, most importantly, life. Meeting new people can be incredibly helpful, and here's why.
When you meet new people, you have to introduce yourself. This process encourages you to reflect on yourself, your evolving mindset, and your changing choices. Through these interactions, I learned that confidence is essential, as is knowledge. While you can't always control who you meet, you can choose to interact with new people, pick up their best qualities, and make them your own. This approach will always benefit you in the long run. Overall, RIMC hit me like a sudden breeze of peace, a coolness that will stay with me forever.
