A Note from the Editorial Board
Dear Readers,
Our school is alive in all the obvious ways, but these
pieces carve out the quieter corners: the half thoughts that
linger after class, the ache that does not have a name yet,
the small, stubborn jokes we tell ourselves to keep going.
Poetry and prose, yes, but mostly proof that we are paying
attention.
Here it is - another quiet landing of voices that somehow
refused to stay silent. The pages you are going through are
built from late night drafts, crossed out lines, and the kind
of courage it takes submit something when you are not
entirely sure the words are ready.
I am proud of every contributor who trusted us with their
work, and prouder still of the brilliant community that
keeps making space for it. You are reading the evidence
that we are still thinking, still feeling, still writing it
down.
Thank you for meeting us here.
Chaudhry Muhammad Raayed
(Chief Editor)
As Sub-Editor, it has been a privilege to assist in shaping
this year’s publication. This magazine would not exist
without the dedication of the writers and the effort of the
editorial team who worked tirelessly to ensure that every
piece reflects the quality and spirit of our school. I hope
that as you read through these pages, you appreciate the
creativity, thought, and effort that has gone into each
contribution.
Abdullah Bin Rehan
(Sub-Editor)
Producing this edition has been a collaborative effort, and
I would like to thank all the writers, editors, designers, and
staff advisors who dedicated their time and effort to
bringing it together. Their enthusiasm and commitment
are truly commendable. Serving as Sub-Editor for this
publication has been a meaningful opportunity to support
the editorial process and to contribute the final design of
this publication. I am grateful to have played a part in
helping bring these voices together in one collection.
