Smile brings the Beauty to our Face

Once, there was a beauty competition for young kids in a school. So, the teacher announced that all students should dress up well and get prepared for the upcoming competition. So all kids tried their best to put up the best dresses and get groomed well. Now, the day of the competition came.

All kids were in their best dresses. They came on the stage one by one and introduced themselves, they were clad in the best of costumes but unfortunately, most of them were not seeming happy and joyful. It seemed the anxiety of competition had taken over them and they were not in the best of spirits. Out of so many of them, only one kid was cheerful, happy, and joyful. She has not only a charming dress but a heart-touching smile which touched the audience and also the judges.

Eventually, she won the competition. The judges announced that it was especially for the beautiful smile coupled with a glamorous outfit that shined upon her face which made them choose her over the rest.

Moral: A smile can create miracles, it makes our face shine with charm and beauty. It brings out the inner beauty of the soul. Smile along with external beauty and grooming makes a perfect personality and makes its way into the hearts of others.

This pushes us out from a static state of existence to a dynamic ever-changing being. We do feel a certain level of discomfort while going through these transitions, but having faith and hope in our hearts does make a great difference.  Let's take a moment to consider the underlying reasons why a change might be uncomfortable. Changes can represent transience and mortality. One significant transition in human existence that we all go through is death. Every change is a small death in itself, whereby the old dies and the new is born. As humans, we have a tendency to cling to life and have attachment to the existing state, I suppose this is one of the root...

Waves, Winds, and Whispers — My Port Blair Story

I travelled to Port Blair with my sister from 28th October to 1st November, 2025. It felt like the perfect time to visit — the weather was pleasantly warm, the skies clear yet gentle, and the sea calm enough to welcome us. Budget-wise too, it was a great decision since it wasn’t the peak tourist season. There was a sense of ease everywhere — in the quiet beaches, in the slow rhythm of the island, and even in our own hearts. This was my first trip with my sister alone, and that made it special from the very beginning. I was excited and curious about what the journey would bring — not just in terms of places to see, but in the bond we would share. My intention was simple: to explore the island together, to laugh, to talk, and in the process, to understand each other a little more deeply. We spent around four nights and five days in Port Blair — a duration that felt just right. More than five days might have felt a bit repetitive since the island doesn’t have a vast number of places to ex...
