 Happiness... In the depths of our soul, a flame ignites, A dance of happiness, pure and bright. With pride as our shield, we stand tall, Excitement dances, ignite our soul, As passions flourish, creativity unfold. Value your worth, breaking down every wall. For within us lies a unique power, A small packet of joy whose aura fragnences every hour. Have to celebrate ourselves, with love so deep, Music of happiness, our soul shall keep. With down to earth attitude and longing for something, should make ourselves high. Yes, Happiness and self-acceptance, forever nearby. -Sauvik Prasad

Out of the major seasons in India, Autumn is the most appealing & charming, and one would never deny this unless he is color blind. Autumn is exceptionally known for its fall and cool breeze. The magnificent, highly spirited leaves all around the ground surround us with their radiating vibrance, and we, on our part, want to get caged inside the soothing and relaxing walls of rosy leaves. Deciduous trees shed their leaves as if the mother was embellishing her little one by giving away her ornaments. People would have blessed and hugged autumn with their open hearts if autumn had been a human. I am saying this because the autumn season is the best-suited season for every living being. Everyone enjoys it to the fullest, from infants to kids, from adul

Life in rural areas   Far away from hustle and bustle, there are places where people still prefer living in the simplest way that disconnects them from all the distractions of the urban areas. The greenery of the rural suburbs is the ultimate beauty of the villages which sets them apart from other inhabitable places. Not only are the rural neighbourhoods quieter and more picturesque, but they also provide a better and improved quality of life. It has also been found that being more connected to the countryside can have a very positive impact on wellbeing, helping to improve the quality of life as the residents have nature and wildlife all around them. Wildlife is more frequently found in rural areas than in cities because of the absence of people and buildings.     The view of the herd of cattles grazing over the fields, the fishes swimming in the distinct ponds having lotuses protruding from the surface of
