Potato, egg and coffee beans A little boy named John lives in a beautiful home with his parents. One day, his father finds him crying and asks if something is wrong. John says meekly, “I have so many problems in life,” and talks about his ‘problems’. John’s father patiently listens to him. Then he brings a bowl and places a potato, an egg and some coffee beans in it. He asks John to touch and feel the ingredients in the bowl, and tell what he feels about them. John describes how he feels about each of them on touching. The father smiles and asks John to place them all in three different bowls and pour water in them. He then boils them all. After a few minutes, the father turns off the stove and places all the bowls on the counter to cool them down. When they have cooled down, John’s father asks him to touch them once again and feel the egg, potato, and coffee beans. John has a different answer this time. And he says, the potato’s skin is easier to peel as it has turned very soft, the egg has hardened, and there is a fresh coffee aroma coming from the beans. Listening to John, his father smiles and tells him how the potato, egg, and coffee beans reacted to adverse situations. The potato has become soft, the egg turned very strong, and the coffee beans have changed their form completely during their testing time in the boiling water. Moral Of The Story: Problems are a part of life. How we react to them makes us a better individual.

The Need for Youth Participation in Politics Fresh Perspectives and Innovation Traditional political leadership in India has been dominated by seasoned leaders with vast experience. While their wisdom is invaluable, they often operate within conventional frameworks, which may not be equipped to handle modern challenges. Young leaders bring innovative solutions, technological expertise, and modern governance models, enabling dynamic and data-driven policymaking. Addressing India’s Socio-Economic Challenges Climate Change: Young leaders can advocate for green policies, renewable energy initiatives, and climate adaptation measures to ensure a sustainable future. Education & Employment: Youth-driven governance can prioritize quality education, skill development, and entrepreneurship to tackle unemployment and underemployment. Digital Revolution: Youth engagement can help India leverage artificial intelligence, automation, and blockchain for transparent and efficient governance. Strengthening Democratic Institutions Young people can revive democratic values, enhance accountability, and curb political corruption by leveraging social media and citizen engagement platforms. A politically aware and active youth population ensures that democracy remains vibrant and responsive to public needs.   Challenges to Youth Participation in Politics Political Dynasties and Elitism Indian politics has historically been dominated by dynastic families, where opportunities for grassroots and merit-based leadership remain limited. Many young aspirants struggle to gain access to political platforms without familial or financial backing. Lack of Mentorship and Political Training While enthusiasm is high, youth often lack formal training in governance, policy analysis, and political administration. Existing political parties provide limited mentorship, leaving young leaders to navigate the system without proper guidance. Financial and Electoral Barriers Contesting elections requires substantial financial resources, making it difficult for first-generation politicians to compete with established leaders. Criminalization of politics, coupled with money and muscle power, often discourages educated youth from entering public service. Tokenism vs. Real Participation Many political parties include youth leaders for symbolic representation, without giving them decision-making authority. This superficial inclusion does little to change governance structures or empower young politicians. India stands at a pivotal moment in history, where decisions made today will shape the nation’s trajectory for decades to come.   The words of Swami Vivekananda remain ever-relevant: “Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached.”   The future of Bharat as a beacon of democracy, innovation, and inclusivity depends on the collective will of its youth. Let us envision a Bharat where youth lead the charge toward a brighter future—where politics is not a profession but a mission, and where governance is driven by purpose, vision, and integrity.

Jevons Paradox It states that when a resource becomes more efficient and cheaper to use, overall consumption increases instead of decreasing. Theory & Origin: Proposed by William Stanley Jevons in 1865, observing that improved coal efficiency led to higher coal consumption instead of savings. Factors Influencing Jevons Paradox: Cost Reduction: Lower usage costs drive higher demand. Increased Accessibility: Efficiency makes resources more widespread. Economic Growth: Higher productivity spurs industrial expansion. Elastic Demand: When demand is highly responsive to price changes, consumption rises sharply. Significance in AI & Energy: Artificial Intelligence: Efficient AI chips may increase AI model adoption instead of reducing chip demand. Energy Efficiency: More efficient technologies can lead to higher total energy consumption due to increased use. Policy Implications: Governments must combine efficiency with regulatory measures (taxes, quotas) to avoid resource overuse. USE IN ESSAY

## story of Serena Williams Don’t Lose Focus At the age of 3, Serena and her family relocated to Compton, California. Surrounded by drugs, gangs, and poverty, Serena and Venus learned how to play tennis on courts with potholes and broken glass. Compton gang sorrounded the tenis court drinking, dealing drugs, smoking weed and watching the sisters be coached by their father. This kind of distraction helped Serena have laser-like focus, especially during tough matches where she is unmatched in staying strong and being able to find a way to win. One of the life lessons that no matter our environment, we are able to overcome if we don’t lose focus.

✍️The Right Place ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ A mother and a baby camel were lying around under a tree. Then the baby camel asked, “Why do camels have humps?” The mother camel considered this and said, “We are desert animals so we have the humps to store water so we can survive with very little water.” The baby camel thought for a moment then said, “Ok…why are our legs long and our feet rounded?” The mama replied, “They are meant for walking in the desert.” The baby paused. After a beat, the camel asked, “Why are our eyelashes long? Sometimes they get in my way.” The mama responded, “Those long thick eyelashes protect your eyes from the desert sand when it blows in the wind. The baby thought and thought. Then he said, “I see. So the hump is to store water when we are in the desert, the legs are for walking through the desert and these eye lashes protect my eyes from the desert then why in the Zoo?” The Lesson: Skills and abilities are only useful if you are in the right place at the right time. Otherwise they go to waste.
