Thought of the Day

Dream is not that which you see while sleeping, it is something that does not let you sleep. (By Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, former President of India and scientist)

Meaning: A dream is not a wish you make at night; it is a goal that keeps working inside you even when you are awake. If something truly matters to you, it will push you to study a little longer, practise a little harder and try one more time after failure. Choose a goal that wakes you up with energy, and let that energy guide your daily effort.

Following the news is a small daily habit that quietly shapes how a student thinks. When you read about a cyclone warning, an election count or a record cricket knock, you learn to check facts, ask why something happened and see how one decision can affect lakhs of people. That habit of asking careful questions makes you a better student today and a more responsible citizen tomorrow.
