Introduction – International Tiger Day is observed annually on July 29 worldwide to raise awareness about the importance and conservation of tigers.

This global day provides an opportunity to promote conservation or protection of forests or natural habitats which helps in enhancing the number of tigers all over the world. Presently, the population of tigers is rapidly decreasing due to the rapid cutting of forests, hunting or poaching of tigers, illegal trading, and loss of habitat.

Resilience – Kaushal Kishore

 

When people see a strong person with rich gleams,

They wonder, “Why no cracks, no shattered dreams?”

But little do they know, the truth behind the might,

Is a heart that’s broken, yet still shines with new light…

.

Through trials and tribulations, we’re made to bend,

Our cracks and scars are stories to amend…

But in the breaking, we find a chance to renew,

To rebuild and rise again, with a spirit anew…

.

Like an egg that cracks, a new life starts to seep,

A seed splits apart, a sapling begins to creep…

From the shattered fragments, a new form emerges,

A stronger, wiser soul, with a heart that never diverges…

.

For in the breaking, we discover our might,

A strength that’s forged, in the darkness of night…

A resilience that’s born, from the pieces we’ve found,

A new life emerges, with a spirit that’s crowned…

.

So let’s embrace the breaks, for in them we see,

Opportunities to craft anew, to set the past free…

To soar from the embers, like a phoenix in flight,

To treasure life’s splendor, and all its promised light…

.

Chinese American Torri Huske wins gold in women’s 100m butterfly – AsAmNews

Chinese American swimmer Torri Huske won gold in the women’s 100 meter butterfly at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Sunday, after missing out on a medal in Tokyo by 1/100 of a second, NPR reports.

Huske, 21, beat out her American teammate Gretchen Walsh, who had set the Olympic record a day earlier, PEOPLE Magazine reports.

The race was tight until the end, and after Huske touched the wall, she turned around in disbelief, realizing she had won.

“You can kind of see out of the corner of your eye, but you never really know for sure,” the Stanford University swimmer said, per PEOPLE Magazine.
