Under the Mango Tree
When Chika’s parents died in a sudden car crash, he was just seven years old — too young to grasp the full weight of loss. One moment he was laughing at the mangoes falling from the sky during a heavy storm; the next, he was an orphan standing before his father’s elder brother, Uncle Okechukwu, and his wife, Mama Nnenna.

"From Rivers to Empires: A Journey Through Early Human Civilizations"
Around 5,000 years ago, humanity entered a transformative era marked by the rise of the world’s first civilizations. In Mesopotamia, the Sumerians built cities, developed cuneiform writing, and created literature like the Epic of Gilgamesh. Egypt unified under its first pharaoh and began building pyramids along the Nile. In the Indus Valley, advanced urban centers with plumbing and trade networks thrived, while early Chinese cultures like Longshan laid the groundwork for dynasties to come. Europe saw the construction of megaliths like Stonehenge, and in the Americas, Caral emerged as the earliest known city. Across regions, people developed farming, bronze tools, writing systems, and religious practices that shaped their societies. Despite differences, these ancient cultures shared a spirit of innovation and laid the foundations of the modern world. Their achievements in governance, technology, art, and belief systems continue to influence human civilization today.

The Triumph of Self-Belief..
In a small village nestled at the edge of the countryside, there lived a young boy named Sohan. His family was poor, and their humble house stood on the outskirts of the village. From a young age, Sohan understood that if he wanted to achieve something in life, he would have to work hard. Despite his circumstances, he held onto a single dream: to show the world that no matter where you come from, you can make a difference.Growing up, Sohan wasn’t an outgoing child. He was quiet and reserved, preferring the company of books to the bustling noise of the playground. School was a challenge for him. He often struggled to keep up with his peers, and many of his teachers would quietly doubt his potential. They would say things like, “People like you don’t become successful. You're just too ordinary.”These words, however, did not deter Sohan. He knew that success wasn't defined by the family you were born into or the circumstances you faced. It was about believing in yourself and pushing forward no matter how hard the road seemed. He started to make a promise to himself every day: he would never give up. Even though he wasn't the best student, he made sure he gave his best effort every single time. He spent long nights studying by the dim light of a lantern while the rest of the village slept.One day, when Sohan was in his final year of school, the principal of the village school made an announcement that a well-known businessman, Mr. Karim, would be visiting the village to attend a local event. Sohan, who had heard of Mr. Karim's success, was both nervous and excited. This was an opportunity to prove to himself, if no one else, that he could do something remarkable.However, Sohan had doubts. He had always been told that people from his background could never achieve anything significant. The fear of rejection haunted him. Still, there was something deep inside him urging him to take that chance. He decided to attend the event and, if possible, speak to Mr. Karim. He didn’t know exactly how, but he would find a way to make an impression.The day of the event arrived. Sohan donned his best clothes, which weren’t much, but they were the best he had. He stood at the back of the crowd, feeling out of place among the well-dressed people. Mr. Karim, a man known for his achievements, was giving a speech about entrepreneurship, perseverance, and the importance of self-belief.Sohan listened intently, his heart racing. The more he heard, the more inspired he felt. As Mr. Karim finished his speech, Sohan’s hand shot up. “Excuse me, sir,” he called out nervously.Mr. Karim paused, noticing the shy boy at the back. “Yes, young man, what’s your question?”Sohan stood up, his voice trembling slightly, but with a determination that he hadn’t known he had before. “Sir, I come from a poor family, and I’ve always been told that people like me can never achieve great things. But I believe that if I work hard enough, I can prove them wrong. How can I make something of myself?”The room fell silent. Mr. Karim looked at Sohan with a mixture of surprise and admiration. After a brief pause, he smiled and said, “Your question shows more about you than you realize. It shows that you have the courage to believe in yourself, and that is the first step toward success. Keep believing, keep working hard, and the opportunities will come to you.”Sohan felt a wave of relief wash over him. Mr. Karim’s words were simple, but they meant everything. The realization that success wasn’t about where you came from, but how much you were willing to give, struck him like a thunderbolt.The event concluded, and as people began to leave, Sohan approached Mr. Karim. He introduced himself again and thanked him for his kind words. Mr. Karim, who had been struck by Sohan’s determination, saw potential in him. “Come to my office tomorrow,” he said. “I’ll offer you an internship. It’s a small start, but everyone has to start somewhere.”For the first time in his life, Sohan felt the weight of his dreams starting to lift. He couldn’t believe it. This was the break he had been waiting for.Sohan worked hard during his internship. He showed up early, stayed late, and never stopped learning. He asked questions, offered suggestions, and did whatever was asked of him. Slowly but surely, he started gaining respect from his colleagues. His dedication didn’t go unnoticed.Months passed, and Mr. Karim noticed Sohan’s growth. He saw that the young boy wasn’t just working for a paycheck; he was working with passion, purpose, and a belief that he could make a difference. One day, Mr. Karim called him into his office.“You’ve done well, Sohan,” he said. “I’ve seen you grow. I’ve seen your commitment and your drive. It’s time to give you more responsibility.”That moment marked the beginning of Sohan’s professional career. Over the next few years, Sohan became an invaluable member of the company. He continued to rise through the ranks, driven not by the fear of failure, but by his unshakable belief that he could succeed. Eventually, Sohan started his own business, using the lessons he had learned and the network he had built.Years later, Sohan returned to his village, not as the quiet, uncertain boy who had once doubted himself, but as a successful businessman. He had achieved his dreams, but more importantly, he had learned the power of self-belief.Sohan didn’t forget where he came from. He returned to the village to give back, setting up a scholarship fund to help young students who, like him, were told that their dreams were out of reach. He spoke at schools, sharing his story, and telling.. students that success is not about the circumstances you are born into, but the choices you make and the effort you put in.Sohan’s story became an inspiration, not just in his village, but to everyone who heard it. He was living proof that hard work, perseverance, and belief in yourself could break through any obstacle, no matter how big.And as he stood under the same tree where he had once sat as a boy, dreaming of a better future, he smiled. The dream had not only been his; it had become a dream for others too...

"Beneath the Quiet Sky"
When Meera woke up, the morning sun had hardly had time to stretch across the cracked rooftops. Her eyes opened before the village stirred and before the rooster crowed. The wind, which crept through the gaps in the tin roof, whispered of another long day ahead while the cold still clung to the floor.
