  “This world will never be good,” his son muttered as he walked in, feeling totally frustrated. The father pip ed up , “How could the world be good, son? Who has clouded your perspective?” His son replied that people were just selfish, times were tough, and it felt like everything was conspiring to ruin his future. The father thought for a moment, then recalled how he used to show his son the world through the painted windows of their home when he was young. Taking him over to one of these windows, he asked, “What do you see?” The son responded, “Nothing is clear ! The view is blurred, unfamiliar, and full of odd shapes.” The father then directed him to an unpainted, clear window. “Now, look through this one ! ” The son’s expression softened instantly . “I can see everything now – my city, my friends, familiar places, and everything around us.” “Son,” the father said gently, “it’s not the world that needs to change; it’s the way you view it ! That window represents your atti...

  Ever heard this one? A teacher once showed her husband a student's answer sheet for an assignment about future dreams. One response was a total heartbreaker: "I want to be a mobile phone so my parents will finally look at me." Reading this, the husband asked, "What kind of parents would make their kid feel like that?" With a heavy heart, the teacher replied, "This is our own son's answer sheet." As we get all tangled up in the complexities of AI, the world is shouting: let’s head back to our families! A family isn't just a house; it’s all about relationships, love, and compromise. A study in America shows that crime rates are climbing right alongside family breakups. On the flip side, rock-solid family bonds give kids a massive confidence boost! Take Chess Grandmasters Praggnanandhaa and Vaishali—they give all the credit to their parents, Nagalakshmi and Ramesh Babu, who don't even know how to play chess themselves! Family means more tha...

The ability to write and to think bears witness to life itself. When we lose that, we lose the essence of living. Curiosity about what lies beyond our own horizons drives us forward, fuelling our desire for knowledge, joy, and wonder. Thousands of years ago, primitive humans ventured out from dense forests to riverbanks, establishing civilizations, crossing continents, and seeking new lands filled with promise. Leaving behind the familiar, they migrated through untamed landscapes, driven by an insatiable thirst for understanding, a hunger for meaning, or even a fascination with the unknown stories, places, and marvels they had only heard of. Tourists once travelled the world to collect pepper seeds from Kerala, arriving on the shores of Malabar. Without this spirit of exploration and migration, there would be no knowledge to share, no languages to connect us, no flavours to savour, no cultural exchange to celebrate. Our lands, deprived of diversity, would be dry dunes, barren and limit...

https://radiancenews.com/south-africas-bold-move-for-global-justice-against-israels-actions-in-gaza/ Those advocating for human rights and humanitarian values owe a debt of gratitude to South Africa for bringing to light the genocide and terrorism carried out by Israel in Gaza at the International Court. This has placed America, Israel, and their allies in an uncomfortable position, as they are being scrutinized for their alleged atrocities, including the killing of innocent children and women. South Africa is a nation that does not bow to American domination. It does not have any political or economic allegiance to America. South Africa has dealt a blow to America's narrative that countries subjected to America's economic and military power will remain silent. This country won its freedom through Nelson Mandela's tireless fight against racial discrimination. Today, by taking Israel to the International Court of Justice for human rights violations, South Africa has once aga...
