            Today I went to Manas Joyti Das Old Age Home to spend my time with these beloved people. It consisted about almost 64 members and all were females. The first thing that struck me was the tranquility that enveloped the premises. The gentle rustle of leaves, the distant laughter of residents, and the serene ambiance painted a picture of solace amidst life's tumultuous journey.

INTERACTING THE KIDS DESPERATE TO LEARN THE NEW IDEAS          Science fairs have long been a platform for students to explore the wonders of scientific inquiry, ignite their curiosity, and showcase their creative and analytical skills. However, for underprivileged students, such opportunities can be scarce.  In a community where resources are limited and educational opportunities are few, a group of enthusiastic students decided to take matters into their own hands.
