The Memories

By -

Days pass by. Time waits for none. These are so common words. But, have you ever tried to decrypt it's meaning? Days pass by so calmly, so quietly. I just stare back at the days. Days littered with sprinkles of gold, days filled with mists of happiness, and days that shook me from within.

I'm just looking at the "Timeline" of my small life, watching the moments of joy. You know what, they come in small numbers. Ask God, and he'll reply back, "Oh dear, happiness and sadness is equally balanced". Balanced. Oh no, the monotonous word, "Balance" that I'm fed up of.

When you're in high school, everything around seems to come to a screeching halt, and the only one still efficiently carrying out tasks will be YOU. Yes, you! Look, all these days, in junior section, you have got 85% and above-sort-of marks. Your ribs crack down when you get your terminal sheets in your hand, maybe obtaining a mere 50 outt'a the traditional 80 marks. Seems really bad right? Think the teachers are warring against you? The short answer is NO. As because, you have been careless, all through the year. You suffer, and then point your fingers to others then. No, I'm not trying to criticize you. Just tried a trifle to get you into the right way of life.

Anyways, I'm not into highlighting that topic much. Marks and students- never join these two words to judge people. Dangerous combo, let me tell you. Life feels boring. Probably being in school all day, getting sums with the mathematical logarithms would be of more fun. Seriously, this is not good. It stinks, stinks bad.

The memories fill me up, and make me emotional. See, I amn't really quite an emotional guy, but watching yourself fall down is well, never quite good. Hooking up on Tansen Fiesta- a popular youth group, I can find the stress and anger behind some posts. Posting depends on mood and if you're into reading psychology books that should be easy for you to know who is feeling what and when. I wonder whether the happy face acts as a mask and hides the depression within.

Don't worry, you, who are scrolling through this article! Take precautions if this is the same for you. This is the story of one of my dearest friend. I'm not willing to mention his name as such but I'm shocked with this. You know what, memories.....

Being a Good Class Monitor: The Dummy's Guide!

By -

So students, every year there are two monitors selected from your class, right? I'm writing this article from my past experiences. This is practiced in most schools. All monitors/leaders are generally the "best boy" of the class/school (in discipline), or maybe the highest academic scorer (Well, the criteria does vary from school to school- I have written the common practice) . Observing leaders and captains from various schools, I have come to a conclusion and just decided to publish this article, as a guide. Being a leader is not that easy. One has to be taking the responsibility of his/her whole class, or perhaps, the entire school. Being a leader demands a lot from us. Some random quotes are: “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” -Steve Jobs, Apple co-founder “Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” -John F. Kennedy “The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjust...

Why there aren't any "Good" or "Bad" Terrorism

A Candle Light Vigil in London condemning the Peshawar school attacks/Wikimedia Commons Over the last decade, there has been a exponential rise in the number of terrorism cases. From 26/11 to the Peshawar school attacks, these are horrific acts of shameless and brutal assault on innocent people. As  The Conversation  puts it, "Terrorism is some form of purposive and planned violence that has a political, religious, or ideological motivation. It is intended to coerce or intimidate and is targeted at civilians or government. Legislation prohibiting terrorism ought to have extra-territorial effect". It is an open fact that the ISI and the Pakistani Army has long nurtured extremist organisations. These organizations harbour militants in the name of Jihad, or holy wars. As long as your pet barks at others, it's fine. However, when that pet becomes a rogue stray and bites you back, that's when you suffer. That is precisely what has happened to the Pakistani Army. The...

If you are a teacher, a staff, or a principal of any school, this article is for you. Students take leave for various reasons- fever, holiday picnic, etc. There are some students, who, in the name of these excuses do not attend school, and instead, doze at home. The IIS India team has compiled a list of 'Top 10 reasons Students use for being absent' for you. Don't worry students- there is something called "luck" that determines whether you get caught for using a fake reason! #10 : Let me start with the number 10. The number 10 is a 10 upon 10 if you judge the quality of the excuse, LOL. The reason is-" The last train/bus for reaching school had departed before I reached the station/bus stand " Seems a bit funny, right? Yes, it is. This is "just a bit popular" among students, so this becomes the #10 excuse! #9 : Next comes 9, after 10. The reason number 9 is increasingly becoming popular , as students get more creative and search f...
