ON THE morning of September 11, 2001, the sky over New York was cloudless, a postcard-perfect day.

- JAISON WILSON @Pathanamthitta

For Sujo John, who had arrived in the United States barely seven months prior with dreams of making it big, it was like any other workday. The young accountant executive, with roots in Tiruvalla, was seated on the 81st floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Looking at the Statue of Liberty from his office room, Sujo's thoughts immersed in the new life in the US.

Just a few blocks away, his wife Mini—four months pregnant—was on her way to her office on the 71st floor of the South Tower.

Its essential features focus on personalised learning, efficiency, and holistic development. Founded in Austin, Texas, the Alpha School challenges the conventional modelwhere students endure lengthy lectures across fragmented subjects-by reallocating time to AI-powered learning and essential life skills. This for-profit private institution is crafting footprints in other cities. It also plans potential charter school integrations for broader access.

So You Think You are an Empath?

In this epoch of information overload, we watch a thousand crises unfold every day, where the sacred mixes with the profane at top speed, where the latest war updates are followed in quick succession by clips on how to wear a mekhela chador the proper way, how to make naan on an overturned tawa, what Ji Chang Wook said at the Gucci launch.
