To cage one's own heart willingly...

I hear a kind of sorrow in that idea, someone so attuned to others that they disappear from their own care. Here’s a poem around that feeling: There lives a soul who reads the ache In trembling smiles that others fake, Who hears the grief in laughter’s sound, And kneels where silent wounds are found. A keeper of unspoken fears, A witness soft to hidden tears, They gather storms from weary skies And hold them gently, asking, “Why?” How strange, how pitiful the art, To know each fracture of a heart, Yet turn no lantern to one’s own, And make of sorrow flesh and bone. For they will calm another’s sea, Whilst drowning where none care to see; Will stitch the wounds on stranger’s skin, Yet leave their own to ache within. They understand too much, perhaps, The grief between affection’s gaps, The trembling guilt, the sharpened shame, The quiet hurt with no true name. And so they bend, and so they stay, To light the dark in others’ way; Till kindness, noble though it seems, Consumes the keeper ...

Update: First, second-year degree students in Telangana to be promoted to next year

The decision was taken by the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) in view of the lockdown.

HYDERABAD: The students who are in the first and second year of their conventional degree courses would be promoted to next year automatically regardless of whether they would pass the examinations, which would be held after the lockdown ends.

But the final-year degree students would have to take the examinations and they would graduate depending on their performance.  The decision was taken by the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) in view of the lockdown.

According to TSCHE sources, the students of the first and second-year non-professional, conventional three-year degree course need to secure at least 50 per cent of the credits to be promoted to the next year. But this would not be necessary this year owing to the COVID-19 outbreak. The sources said with regard to professional courses like MBA and engineering, consultations with the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD) were on.

The dates for both conventional degree and other Common Entrance Tests (CET), including Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (EAMCET), and Engineering Common Entrance Test (ECET), would be decided after the lockdown ends, the sources said.
