once upon a time in a farway kingdom there lived a very cruel King his rules were so strict that even the small make was punished by death one day Man in the Kingdom accident broke one of these rules and was promptly arrested by the king's guards after a few days he was brought before the king the king without hesitation sentenced him to death the man was shocked and deeply distressed but he was also very clever Gathering his wits he began to laugh loudly this surprised the king and his ministers they had never seen anyone laugh in such a dire situation they had seen people crying begging lamenting or threatening but laughter was new the king asked him surprisingly why are you laughing did you mishar my words the man replied no my Lord I heard you clearly you have sentenced me to death then why are you laughing the king asked again the man said my Lord I have a remarkable skill I can train horses to fly I was just about to come to your court to tell you about this but meanwhile I did something wrong and now I face your Wrath I laughed at the thought that with my ath the chance for you to have a flying horse will also vanish the king and his ministers were intrigued they consulted among themselves one Minister said I think he's bluffing to escape death have you ever heard of a flying horse another Minister countered who knows just because we have not seen a flying horse does not mean it is impossible all the ministers gave their opinions after hearing them all the King was puzzled yet he was curious he did not want to miss the chance of riding a flying horse he asked the prisoner how long will it take you to train a horse to fly the man replied my Lord it will take a year the king said in a threatening voice and if you fail you will face a very painful death you know that the man agreed and said but I have some conditions my condition is that while I train the horse no one should disturb or watch us it is to prevent your enemies from learning about this and trying to kidnap or kill me also food clothes and other necessities for my family should be provided so that I can focus entirely on my work the king agreed and freed him when the man returned home his wife and children were crying his wife asked him why did you give the king such false hope you know you can't make a horse fly you will just die a miserable death after a year the man smiled and said why do you think that way look what we have gained I was supposed to die today but now I have another year to live with you in that time there are three possibilities that can happen one possibility is I might die in natural death the second possibility is the king who is growing old might die in this period and the third possibility is perhaps I might even learn how to make a horse fly he said smilingly so let us stay hopeful and enjoy our time together without any worry and it happened that 8 months later a neighboring Kingdom attacked on their Kingdom and in the ensuing battle the cruel King was killed with the King's death the man no longer needed to make the horse fly now he was free to live happily even after with his family if we see in our lives we will find mind that hope is incredibly important in our lives the entire world thrives on hope when we go through tough times and face challenges it is hope that helps us keep going and believe that better days are ahead without hope life feels like a dark night with no morning hope gives us the strength to keep fighting and waiting for things to get better those who lose hope for them life becomes like a dark knight that has no ending many people who consider taking drastic steps like suicide often do so because they have lost hope in their lives but we should remember that time is always changing things never Remains the Same just like night turns into day difficult times will eventually give way to good times in this story the man held on to hope for a better future and things eventually improved for him in the same way those who keep hope alive can look forward to a brighter future if we give into our struggle and lose hope it can feel like everything is ending but with hope we can get through our hard time hope gives us a reason to keep waiting for things to improve when we have hope we can imagine a future where we find happiness purpose and peace this Vision can help us endure present hardships and take steps toward a brighter future so never lose hope in your life because just as nightfalls and a new day begins you never know what amazing things the next day might PR therefore stay strong keep your faith and always remain hopeful [Music] [Applause] [Music]

The rhythms of our lives: How music shapes us
Music is not just a collection of sounds; This universal language transcends culture, time and background. Its impact on our lives is profound, affecting our emotions, memories, and even our physical well-being.

Bless Me Father for I Have Sinned
So, here’s me sitting on the 7b bus heading into town. I shouldn’t be on the bus. I don’t want to be on the bus. I should be on a bike, legs pumping like pistons. The freedom of the open road. Direction where the tyres press, as the poet said.
