pregnant. What now. Imagine standing on the edge of a vast, uncharted ocean.You're excited yet filled with uncertainty. This is how many will feel when they find out they're pregnant. Thrilled for the new life ahead, yet unprepared and oblivious to the tidal wave of change that is to come.It's almost like sitting an exam on a subject that you've never been taught and no amount of study will ever prepare you enough for. However, in this exam, if you get a question wrong, it could be a matter of life or death ...

Let's start with a scene that might seem oddly familiar. You're sitting at your computer. You've got 10 to 20 tabs open.I'm talking news articles, emails, a half-finish YouTube video, your bank account, and maybe even a recipe for dinner. You know, the ones you'll never actually make. Your computer starts lagging.It's frustrating. So, you slam your fist on the desk and go, "Oh." As you might have guessed, this isn't just about your computer. There's so much noise in the world, so many issues demanding our a ...

I'm Swamini Shapurkar from grade 9 Bila International School and today I want to share my journey with music.When I was six, my mom put me into a music class and trust me I was terrible.
