As the new academic year dawns upon Bethany Ashram High School, Cherukulanji, we are excited to welcome our new students with a unique and enlightening gift - an LED bulb.

That special voiceđź’•

 The Magic of a Special Voice There's a unique kind of happiness that washes over you when your phone rings and the caller ID shows the name of a closed one or family member. It starts as a warm glow in your chest and spreads, filling you with joy and comfort. Hearing a special voice can transform an ordinary day into something special. The sound of their laughter, the way they say your name, and the shared stories bring a sense of connection that no text message can match. It's like a little visit from home, no matter where you are. Nithin ✍️ 

Keep Going: Rome Wasn't Built in a Day

Feeling tired of trying, of pushing forward and facing setbacks, is something we all experience at some point. Life can be challenging, and the road to success is often paved with obstacles. But remember, persistence is key. The phrase "Rome wasn't built in a day" reminds us that significant achievements take time and effort. When you feel overwhelmed, it's important to take a step back and appreciate how far you've come. Every small effort, every attempt, and every failure is a building block towards your ultimate goal. Success is not about never falling; it's about rising every time you fall. Each setback is a lesson, each challenge an opportunity to grow stronger and more resilient. Think of the great city of Rome. It stands as a testament to the power of persistence and gradual progress. The ancient Romans faced numerous difficulties, yet they continued to build, brick by brick, day by day. Their dedication and unwavering spirit are what created a marvel t

Transform Your Life: Stop Wishing, Start Doing

Image
Life can be tough, especially when you’re going through some of the worst days, like dealing with betrayal. It feels like the ground has been pulled out from under you, and it’s hard to see a way forward. But there’s a powerful quote that can help guide you through these dark times: "Stop wishing, then start doing and take command of your life." This quote is more than just words; it’s a call to action that can help you reclaim your strength and rebuild your life. When we face heartbreak, especially from being cheated on, it’s easy to fall into the trap of wishing things were different. We wish we could go back in time, wish we hadn’t trusted the wrong person, or wish we could magically feel better. But wishing doesn’t change anything. It keeps us stuck in the past, unable to move forward. The first step towards healing is to stop wishing and start focusing on what you can do to improve your situation. This means acknowledging your pain but also recognizing your power to chan

"Embracing the Beautiful Disorder of Love"

Image
Love is often seen as a force that brings harmony, yet there's an undeniable truth in the saying, "Where there is love, there is disorder." Love, in its purest form, disrupts the ordinary, shakes up routines, and challenges our perceptions. It's a beautiful chaos that redefines our lives, making us reevaluate what truly matters. Disorder in love manifests in countless ways. It can turn our well-planned schedules upside down, making us prioritize moments of connection over rigid timetables. Love encourages spontaneity, urging us to embrace the unexpected and find joy in the unpredictable. This disorder is not destructive but transformative, pushing us out of our comfort zones and into a space where we can grow and thrive. Despite the disorder it brings, love has an extraordinary power to overcome challenges. When faced with life's difficulties, love provides a solid foundation of support and understanding. It motivates us to face adversities with courage and resili

Shaping Creative Minds: How Teachers Can Inspire Design Thinking in Students

Image
In today’s rapidly changing world, the ability to think creatively and solve problems is more important than ever. As teachers, we have a unique opportunity to cultivate these skills in our students, transforming them into innovative design thinkers. Here are some effective ways to nurture creativity and problem-solving abilities in the classroom. First, encourage curiosity and questioning. Design thinking starts with understanding a problem deeply, and this requires asking the right questions. Create an environment where students feel safe to ask questions and explore new ideas without fear of judgment. Use open-ended questions that prompt them to think critically and consider different perspectives. By fostering a culture of curiosity, you help students develop the habit of looking beyond the obvious. Next, promote hands-on learning and experimentation. Design thinking involves a cycle of prototyping, testing, and refining ideas. Provide students with opportunities to eng
