Before and After
The coffee cup fell at exactly 9:47 AM on a Tuesday. I know this because I was staring at the digital clock on my computer screen, counting down the minutes until my performance review with Mr. Henderson.

The ‘9-9-6 Work Schedule’ Could Be Coming To Your Workplace Soon
AI startups are glorifying exhaustion for the sake of productivity, implementing the “9-9-6 work schedule” in an attempt to “win the AI race," according to recent reports. Tekendra Parmar, writing in last month’s Inc., says, “In a bid to outpace Chinese rivals, some AI startups are adopting that country’s grueling “9-9-6 work schedule.” But the future of work might actually lie in working less, not more.” Parmar adds that the “9-9-6 work schedule” could actually hurt instead of help productivity.

The First Dream
The room was wrapped in hushed tones—soft as moonlight and warm as a lullaby. A nightlight pulsed faintly in the corner, casting golden halos on the crib rails. And there, bundled in a swaddle stitched with little stars, slept the newborn. Only three days into the world, she had yet to see the petals of a rose, the blue of a sky, or the shimmer of tears.

Father’s Day Feature: What Makes a Dad the Best Ever?
The question seems simple enough: What makes a dad the best ever? Ask a child, and you’ll hear answers like “He gives me snacks,” or “He fixes my bike,” or, most adorably, “He makes the monsters go away.” But dig a little deeper—talk to grown children, single fathers, adoptive dads, or sons who have become fathers themselves—and you uncover a mosaic of stories stitched together by something far deeper: presence, sacrifice, vulnerability, and yes, unconditional love.
