I would recommend Project Hail Mary to readers who enjoy science fiction, mystery and space adventures. The story follows Ryland Grace, a science teacher who wakes up alone on a spaceship with no memory of who he is or why he is there. As the story progresses, he slowly uncovers the truth about his mission and what could happen to Earth if he fails.

Drawn Wrong
She didn’t understand why it happened, only that it never stopped. The doctors called it a “break from shared reality”. They gave it a name — one she stopped repeating after the third appointment because names made it feel real in a way she couldn’t survive.
It began with drawings that didn’t match memory. A chair she sketched appeared in her room the next morning, except it was slightly wrong. The legs were too long. The shadow pointed the wrong way.
The Alchemist of Uncertainty
Look at them. Dr. Aris — the man who won a Nobel for essentially rediscovering that gravity still works — is currently holding court in the breakroom. I can hear the cadence of his laughter from here. It’s that specific, honking sound a man makes when he’s convinced he’s the smartest person in a room full of sycophants. They’re probably discussing my latest paper. Or, as Aris called it in the faculty lounge, “the most expensive piece of science fiction ever printed on university letterhead.”
I finally got what I wanted
“I finally got what I wanted,” that’s exactly what Ayushi said in the very beginning.
Ayushi was an exchange 7th grader in Bandra. From the very start of school, she was labelled as an average dork. No matter how hard she tried, she would always become the unfitted piece of the fancy puzzle. She was nothing but a shadow in the corridors of the prison she never imagined.
A healthy mind is the foundation of a meaningful life
Imagine waking up every morning to a storm you cannot escape. Or carrying a backpack that gets heavier every day. Well, the backpack is your brain, and its load is your mental health.
But what is mental health? Mental health is our psychological, emotional and social well-being. It is a crucial part of our development as it influences every aspect of your life, from decision-making to stress management.

The engines fired up,
The lights went out.
In the dark,
The protesters stood…
Small, but not silent.
Standing Still, Yet Changing
The day I turned thirteen, I didn’t wake up feeling different. No magical transformation, no sudden clarity. Just the same messy room, the same anxiety about an upcoming exam, and the same feeling of being stuck between wanting independence and needing help. That’s the thing about being a teenager: you’re expected to have it all figured out, but most days, you’re just trying to figure out who you are between one breath and the next.
Fire, chaos, angst, happiness, anger: a teen’s got it all swirling inside at once. But more than anyone else, a teenager often doesn’t know how to handle it.

Ghost Poem
Yesterday I met a ghost.
Instead of my head,
It wanted to sleep in my bed.
But with that,
He wanted a 0.7 lead.
First, when I saw that ghost,
I thought he’d make me toast.
Book Review – Kuhu Learns To Deal With Life
Kuhu Learns to Deal with Life is a fun and relatable story to read. I liked how the book shows that even younger children face many struggles in life, such as joining a new school, getting bullied, feeling left out because of siblings, and even dealing with an evil PE teacher. The story is about Kuhu experiencing all these situations and learning and growing from them.
