                                                                                                                                            We stand as one, year by year.

        FROM THE HEARTS OF THE PAST TO THE HANDS OF THE FUTURE-                                                                            Samika Khanna & Neil Agrawal
        COMPASSIONATE COMMUNITIES!
        As  we  write  this,  thinking  about  the  future,  we  find  ourselves  reflecting  on  what  it  truly  means  to  be  part  of  a
        compassionate community. It is more than just a group of people, it is a shared commitment to care, support, and
        uplift one another. It is built on kindness, strengthened by understanding, and sustained through inclusivity. In such
        a community, connections deepen, resilience grows, and a more harmonious world takes shape.
        Communities surround us in countless ways, both big and small. Take, for instance, something we experience every
        day, the Preamble that plays each morning at school. It is more than just words; it is a reminder of our Indian roots,
        traditions, and heritage, grounding us in a shared identity. We see the strength of community in our own 9B class, a
        family that has grown together over twelve joyful years, with each new member enriching our journey. And beyond
        the classroom, we witnessed the true power of unity during Annual Day, when DAIS and NMAJS came together to
        create a breathtaking, unforgettable production.                                                                                                                                                         PHSE TIME
        Further more, every year, the streets of India come alive with the glow of Diwali
        and  countless  other  festivals.  From  Kashmir  to  Kanyakumari,  communities
        unite  in  celebration,  bound  by  the  warmth  of  tradition,  togetherness,  and
        shared  happiness.  But  beyond  these  familiar  gatherings  lies  the  largest
        community  of  all,  humanity  itself.  No  matter  where  we  come  from,  we  are
        connected  by  our  emotions,  our  hopes,  and  our  stories.  It  is  through
        understanding, empathy, and support that we build a world where kindness is
        our common language and compassion is the force that binds us together.
        Yet, as we write this, the world faces conflicts and crises that threaten to divide
        us. Greed, power, and politics often drown out empathy and love. We owe it to
        each other, to our planet, and to ourselves to protect what makes us human. So,
        future  us,  how  are  we  strengthening  our  communities?  Are  we  lifting  others
        up? Are we choosing kindness over indifference, unity over division?
        Let  us  promise  to  never  forget  that  a  compassionate  community  is  not  built
        overnight,  it  is  nurtured  through  small  acts  of  care,  empathy,  and
        understanding. If you're reading this, remember: the power to create a better
        future lies in our hands.
        With hope and belief,
        Us, Today
