Samiksha  Verma 9th grade.

March arrives quietly, carrying the last whispers of autumn in its gentle breeze. The coolness that once lingered in the mornings slowly fades, making way for the growing warmth of summer. Day by day, the sun lingers a little longer, and the air feels lighter, brighter, and full of movement. Sweaters begin to disappear from wardrobes, replaced by airy fabrics and lighter colors that reflect the changing mood of the season. Cafés spill onto sidewalks, parks fill with conversat

Parv Dasani 9 years The journey of knowledge, the magic of books, and the wisdom they provide. I got the most of my knowledge, from inside the pages of a book When I did not read, to settle me, a lot of time it took Before, I did nothing except to read a story When I was bored, I’d just read an exciting mystery To me, books are really efficient They’re just another way of studying anything important From books, you don’t only get knowledge, you also get entertained So when yo

Harinath EI Library Team   EI Outlook Editor , Linkedin Profile , Blog Long after careers are built and lives are settled, the memory of board exams continues to visit many high achievers — usually beginning with the same sentence: “If only…” When you sit across the table from people who are widely considered successful and invite them to revisit their journeys, an interesting pattern emerges.

Samiksha  Verma 8th grade. A mirror reveals more than one reflection—innocence and shadow, truth and disguise—inviting us to question which face we show, which we hide, and which quietly defines who we are. A mirror held, a story told, Of faces seen, both new and old. They say we're true, just one to view, But whispers hint, there might be two. A simple soul, an open book, A single face, a gentle look. No hidden depths, no mask to wear, Just honesty, beyond compare. Is it a g

Sanskriti Bhargava HFSI, XI grade Writing, EI Kids Conner Editor The bittersweet lie is that effort is always noticed. People are expected to meet high standards, and for a while, this belief feels comforting. Expectations are mistaken for faith, and hard work seems like a shield against judgment. The sweetness fades when a mistake is made. One error is enough to change how someone is seen. The hours of effort are forgotten, and consistency is replaced by criticism. What rema

Riddhi Gulhane 11 years A cute introspection, the places she went, emotions, and the person I became. As all of you know 2025 has come to an end. It has been such an eventful year that I am titling 2025 as "The eventful year". But if you ask me personally I would title 2025 as “The rocky road“ because we went to many road trips.
