Takhte & Search Years co-organises ‘Story Writing Writeshop’ for Young Minds at Kalasthali

Published

on

Writing empowers our thoughts, voice and makes impressions. It can be for self or others. It is such that our expressions in the milieu can bring a revolution in people’s minds. Writing has entered and settled both in our personal and professional world with its diverse styles and forms. Easily demarcated, it can be realistic or fictional. An influential writer is aware of the nuanced insights of the writing and evolves with time.

Under the art of writing comes story writing. Stories can be six words, 30 words, 500 or more. Critical is that the readers can connect with it, and if more fortunate, it seeps into the mind forever.

Writing a short story is testing litmus as one has time and space constraints. But it challenges one’s imagination. Additionally, building a gripping plot, outstanding characters, and witty cum satirical dialogues hone on.

Takhte Writers & Publishers along with Search Years co-organises ‘Story Writing Writeshop’ for young minds aspiring to become writers with intensifying Writing Quotient. The writeshops will involve physical participation giving room to interaction and social networking. It will be held at Kalasthali, the abode to creative pursuits, at Palam Vihar, Gurgaon. Easily accessible by the residents of Gurgaon and nearby areas

The goal and objectives include-

Goal

  • To instruct young minds to become confident and capable as story writers

Objectives

  • To understand and practice the writing process involved in producing the factual/fictional narrative
  • To gain accurate knowledge about the story writing elements
  • To be able to entertain, evoke and energise with stories

The Writeshopwill undoubtedly help build confidence and get acquainted with the tools in writing stories. The task is fervour loaded as it will enable the young writer to imagine vividly and help bring in tandem the much-needed elements needed for shaping the short story.

The Writeshop will have a focused approach, covering the following-

  • Introduction and Icebreaker

As in a short time, we cannot inject techniques of the English language and imagination powers. But enough mentoring support will be provided to accomplish the writing task).

Walkathon on World Mental Health Day: “Zero Net Hour – Being Mindful”

Published

on

World Mental Health Day, observed globally on October 10, was established to raise awareness about mental health issues and to mobilise collective efforts in support of mental well-being. The day serves as a powerful reminder to challenge stigma, promote resilience, and unite people across the world in advancing mental health for all.

In alignment with this vision, Ojass Takhte Trust has launched the project “Mindfulness: The Real Me vs. The Screen Me – Understanding Our Digital Selves”, designed for children, youth, and communities.

In India today, millions of children and young people are facing the consequences of excessive screen and social media use. Studies show that children under five spend an average of 2.2 hours daily on screens—double the recommended safe limit—while even infants under two years are exposed for over an hour daily, despite guidelines advising zero screen time. Among older children and adolescents, screen dependence is even more pronounced, with many spending up to seven hours a day on social media, gaming, and smartphones.

This overexposure has serious implications—physically, it contributes to obesity, eye strain, and sleep disruption; psychologically, it delays cognitive and language development in younger children and increases risks of anxiety, depression, attention problems, and digital addiction among youth. The urgent need is for parents, educators, and policymakers to establish balanced screen-time practices, encourage outdoor and offline engagement, and create environments that nurture holistic well-being in the digital age.

To mark World Mental Health Day, Ojass Takhte Trust organized a Walkathon in Palam Vihar, Gurugram, to spread awareness on the theme “Zero Net Hour – Being Mindful.”

The event was flagged off by Shri Pardeep Kumar (Padam), Councillor, Ward 4, Gurugram, and witnessed enthusiastic participation from youth volunteers of The NorthCap University, representing Gen Z—the responsible citizens and changemakers of tomorrow.

Carrying banners and posters with powerful messages, the volunteers walked to inspire people to disconnect from screens and reconnect with the real world, promoting mindfulness, balance, and better mental health.
