A Think Tank Triumph: Ideas Spark New Horizons

Hey everyone, Safa here! Today, I want to share an unforgettable day at MCC, where I had the chance to join a Think Tank event. A huge shout-out to my amazing professor, Dr. Rufus, for pushing us to go beyond the extra mile.

I had no idea I’d be part of the Think Tank. . The event was fantastic, with students from various departments coming together. The professional vibe at the venue, set the stage for a heated discussion on "Holistic Learning in Camps. I would like to record a memorable experience in my college. The electrifying session we had this evening which started at 3:00 PM and wrapped up by 5:00 pm.  More than 22 brilliant minds participated in the heated discussion.

Our discussions were nothing short of exhilarating. The insights and perspectives shared were as refreshing as a summer rain, nurturing the seeds of new ideas that we planted together.

Many students shared insightful views, and I was thrilled to soak up so much knowledge. One of the student envisioned a magazine and a student exchange program within departments, providing a window into different fields and fostering interdisciplinary learning. They also floated the idea of an academic festival,  Another student pointed out the plethora of existing clubs, emphasizing that it's up to students to dive in and get involved. Yet another voice highlighted the pressing need for more student counselors and equal opportunities for both aided and SFS students , ensuring that every student has access to the support they need. One passionate argument was made for professors to move beyond the traditional academic mold and actively encourage students to participate in competitions and explore their passions, recognizing that education is about more than just books—it's about igniting the fire within.

Here’s what I believe: "Many things may happen around us, many things may happen to us, but what matters is what happens within us." Instead of blaming external factors, we need to stay motivated, just like how we stay hydrated. We should instill a sense of motivation and participate in more events, which will truly shape our perspectives. While some students are academically oriented, everyone has unique talents that make us stand out. We should focus on self-improvement.

Here are three key factors for fostering holistic learning:

Motivation: It is crucial. My professor's encouragement made it possible for us to exchange wonderful ideas.

Engaging Students: It’s challenging for students to step away from gadgets and their comfort zones. However, just like advertisements entice us to buy products, a teaser could encourage students to volunteer.

Creating Inspiring Content: More videos about holistic education can inspire students. Some attend classes only for attendance. Inspiration can ignite them to step out of their comfort zones. Miracles do happen, and it's up to us to choose our path—the path of success or failure.

I would like to drop the highlights of today's session.

A special shoutout to Veena, who, with her creative genius, introduced us to a brand-new genre of writing that we almost christened on the spot.

Lekhaa's experimental techniques with writing deserve a standing ovation. Her boldness in pushing the boundaries of traditional writing is truly commendable.

Krishnapriya and Mikayil's noble initiatives in busking are truly heartwarming. Their efforts to bring art and joy to public spaces are like a breath of fresh air, and they deserve our fullest support and encouragement.

Jerusha’s quotes were the highlights of the evening, resonating with profound wisdom. From Charles Spurgeon’s thought-provoking words, "A world where everything was easy would be a nursery for babies, but not at all a fit place for men, and the poignant reminder that "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men," Jerusha’s selections were a guiding light. 

Let’s continue to ride this wave of inspiration and creativity, shaping the future with our collective brilliance.

Holistic learning is not just a concept; it’s a lifestyle. It encompasses academic, personal, and social growth. Encouragement from teachers, engaging content, and inspiring initiatives can make a significant difference. We all have unique talents, and it’s essential to nurture them. Let’s embrace holistic learning and strive to become well-rounded individuals who can contribute meaningfully to society.

Remember, "It’s not about what happens around us, but what happens within us." Stay motivated, stay inspired, and keep pushing your boundaries

STEPS TO OVERCOME DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND STRESS

 Hey  readers! Hope you are doing great and  you would be eager to read my next blog after a long time . Before, I explore about the topic, I would like to bring to limelight a small poem as an introduction for my topic.  Can’t you hear my silent screams? They are so loud that they echo in my dream. Behind the face that carries a smile, Lies a dark road that goes on mile after mile. My silent screams have been going on for years, But it always falls on so many deaf ears. How can they hear that silent screams in their mind? They can’t hear my thoughts if I keep telling that I am fine. What can I tell them?  These silent screams carry no words. It’s just feeling of sadness and darkness that come in its herds, How can I explain so people understand this? It’s like walking around a suffocating black mist.

Women Equality a Myth or a Reality?

 Hey readers! Hope you are doing great...I am Safa, to elucidate about yet another age-old question, "Women Equality a Myth or a Reality?"  Revered readers, what do you presume it to be a myth or a reality? I would like you to just ponder upon this topic and kindly peruse it.  First, let me bring to limelight, what do you think about the equality of women during the Vedic Period? You may  feel perplexed but the answer is, women during the Vedic Period enjoyed equal and ecstatic status with men in all aspects of life. Works by ancient Indian grammarians such as Patanjali and Katyayana suggest that, women were educated in early vedic period. Women possessed zestful power and personalities . They have ruled over empires ably and effectively. Besides capable administration they were notable poets, scholars, artist and regional leaders .  After reading this I believe, you would feel as if on cloud 9 and yes, you would have felt kinda queer.  However, I feel subp...
