Rewinding back to our school days, filled with fun and joy, where we grew up without much pressure about tomorrow. The one unpleasant phase of our school days would be the days of examinations. I still remember the mornings of our board exam days. We had to move to another school near ours, where students from various other schools gathered. The last few minutes before the examination depict a memorable scene that still flashes back in my mind. Students wearing different colored uniforms but sharing the same serious expressions. We rushed with anxiety, recalling what we had learned earlier, running here and there, raising dust like smoke, creating the effect of a battleground. Suddenly, when the bell rang, the acceleration dropped to zero as we all entered the exam hall, leaving behind our study materials but carrying the anxiety within. Now, it's again a remarkable moment where, for a minute, the exam hall turns into a prayer hall. Combined prayers are raised, with all of them sha

  There is no handwork or effort to create a shadow. They come in every size and shape based on the object or person that is reflected. Shadows are not standalone entities, they need a solid object or living being along with a reflection source, the light. While going through some interesting facts about shadows, there is proof that shadows are evidence that light travels in a straight line.  Several fascinating straight structures in the world gained attention. One among them is The Straight Line Project which has parallel insights. Neom Project also known as 'The Line' is accounted to be the future of urban living initiated by the Saudi Arabian Government. The area stretches across 170 km in a straight line in the desert valley. It is estimated to accommodate 9 million people. It promises to tackle the challenges of urban life today and implement innovative ways for relaxed urban living. The line project shines as a light that attracts several businesses to invest in it.

  Baltimore Bridge, the 3rd longest bridge in the world collapsed within less than 3 seconds on March 26,2023. This was placed as the highlighted news in the media for the final week of March. That's a massive container ship, Dalli that hit one of the piers of the gigantic bridge. It was reported that the ship faced a complete blackout when the collision was about to happen. The video recording of the happening reveals that, though the lights were back when the ship hit the bridge, the crew lost focus. In 1025 BC, the History Book of Israel records an interesting character, a small shepherd boy who once went to the battlefield to see his brothers who had been serving in the King's army. While he was searching for his brothers in the crowd, suddenly his focus turned to an enemy from the opposing nation a 6 feet man who hails that no one can defeat him. Everyone in the army is afraid of the giant and none is ready to stand in front of him. But the young shepherd boy moved to the

   Have you ever had shackles on your hands? Have you ever chained your hands with another person so that you can't move on your own, can't run, eat, or even join your own hands to experience yourself?  A few days back, I got to go to my college. I was supposed to take a town bus to reach the destination. On my way, there was a railway crossing. Vehicles stop in their way for the train to pass by. None is ready to face a crash, right? There was a large crowd of people with the horn sound of vehicles beeping all around. Looking out of the window, I could see a few people crossing the road. They were pairs, in which one was not free to move or take directions. They had shackles on their hands that were being held by the policeman standing next to them.  Lifting my eyes, I could notice a jail building behind them. Since the town was not that familiar to me, I was not aware of jail being there. It seemed like there was a shift in place for the prisoners. As it took a few more minut
