Wi-Fi Down for 10 Minutes
It started like any other weekday. I was halfway through an intense TikTok scroll session, with one eye on my laptop screen pretending to "work from home," and the other on my phone watching a cat dramatically refuse to jump into a pool. Life was good. The Wi-Fi was strong. My digital kingdom was functioning perfectly.

Through Their Eyes
Mira sat quietly on the edge of her bed, acceptance letter in hand. The emblem of the prestigious university gleamed in gold at the top of the page. Full tuition wasn’t covered—only partial. She knew her parents would smile and say “we’ll manage,” but she also knew what manage meant in their world.

The Emergency Contact
I was filling out the school form, the usual one that arrives crumpled in a bag, smelling faintly of stress and banana. “Emergency Contact Name,” it said. I wrote mine. Obviously. Because I am The Emergency. Capital T, capital E.

Understanding the Unique Behaviour of an infant
Welcoming a newborn child into the world is a deeply transformative experience for parents and families. From the very first cry to the initial eye contact, each moment is a powerful reminder of the miracle of life. But beyond the tenderness and excitement lies an intricate pattern of behaviors that define the newborn stage. Understanding the behavior of a newborn child is crucial for caregivers and medical professionals, as it lays the foundation for early development, emotional bonding, and psychological health.

A Silent Tear at Midnight
The day was hot. The sun burned everything. Even the air felt heavy. But inside, I felt cold. My grandfather, Papa, was gone.

What My Grandmother Whispered Before She Died Still Haunts Me Today.
When someone is about to die, you expect the parting words to be poetic. Peaceful, perhaps. Last prayers. A simple “I love you.”

Why Some Relationships Don’t Last Long
In the beginning, everything feels perfect. The texts, the calls, the laughs, the smiles — it all seems like a dream. But with time, something changes. Small fights turn into big arguments. Smiles turn into silent nights. You begin to ask yourself, “What happened to us?”
