This is not a story about being saved. It's about surviving invisibility. And learning to stay.

Homework has always been a cornerstone of learning, meant to build discipline and reinforce classroom lessons. But in today's fast-paced academic world, STEM homework - filled with complex equations, coding tasks, and experiments - is quietly turning into a mental health hazard for many students. Imagine a child staring at a math problem for hours, their mind racing with confusion, pressure mounting with every tick of the clock. What began as a learning exercise becomes a source of anxiety. STEM, meant to inspire curiosity, instead breeds fear of failure. The stress behind STEM homework runs deep - from overwhelming complexity and tight deadlines to lack of parental support at home. Students often feel trapped between expectations and exhaustion, leading to burnout, frustration, and a loss of interest in learning. Over time, this pressure can harm not just performance but confidence and creativity. Parents and teachers can make a huge difference by focusing on quality over quantity. Clear instructions, flexible timelines, and access to support tools like videos or online tutors can help. Encouraging short breaks, collaborative projects, and a growth mindset - where mistakes are seen as part of learning - makes STEM more approachable and enjoyable. Innovative methods like hands-on experiments, project-based learning, and gamified STEM activities can transform homework into discovery. When learning feels like exploration, not evaluation, students rediscover the joy of science and problem-solving. At Makers' Muse, we design STEM programs that build confidence, curiosity, and creativity - without the pressure. Explore our workshops for Classes 1-12 and help your child experience the brighter side of STEM learning.

Sometimes the thing you're running from is the thing you want most. A school trip. A recorded half-confession. Two rivals who might be something more. "Did you mean it when you said you liked me?" academic rivals to lovers • clean romance • confession scene

A story of patience, pain and a love that never needed a proper meeting to be real. Mishka was in 8th standard, Manan in 10th-two strangers carrying broken pieces of themselves. She feared men, haunted by past trauma. He had given up on love, burned by betrayal. They didn't meet like lovers do. Just brief glances, phone chats, one-minute moments across 5.5 long years. No dates. No hugs. Only hope. Their love was doubted, questioned, threatened. Manan juggled an 8-hour job by day and CS studies by night, eventually cracking his cs exams. Exhausted, overwhelmed-but never giving up. Mishka, after completing her 12th, jumped straight into an internship-balancing exhaustion and ambition. Her hard work paid off. She got into Capital City University and later secured her dream job at Googlenet as a Data Science Engineer. After 12 years, they didn't just survive. They tied the knot-with hearts full of scars but stronger than ever. This is not a fairy tale. This is real. This is them. Unseen, but still theirs. ❤️ Can love survive time, silence and the world-without ever truly meeting?
