Good morning,
Before you attend today's Hackathon on the App (live or recorded) or in the class, I would urge you to kindly brainstorm over this essay topic that was part of our Essay Test series last year - The Role of Art in Society: Reflecting or Shaping Reality? We will be discussing it in the class and I feel it will be useful if you do this small exercise beforehand.

Do listen to this TED Talk on a remarkable study by Harvard University on What Makes a Good Life. It’s one of the longest-running studies on happiness and gives deep insights that can be very handy in essays related to themes/virtues like happiness, interpersonal relationships, compassion, empathy, and emotional well-being.
Last year, in the Essay Crash Course batches, I had shared this study with a hunch that a happiness-based topic might be asked—and it turned out right. The essay topic “There is no path to happiness, happiness is the path” was asked in the exam.
It’s a very insightful talk that brings home a simple truth: good relationships—not wealth or fame—keep us happier and healthier. The idea is not just to remember the content, but to understand the essence and mould it as per the essay topic’s demand. Because ultimately, it's not how much you know, but how well you connect what you know with what the topic is asking.
Do give it a watch—it’s relevant, relatable, and can be used in multiple essay contexts.
New Essay Crash Course coming up from Monday 16th of June. Do visit the App/Website of Civils Catalyst to know more.

This is a summary of the movie The Experiment, which is loosely based on the famous (and infamous) Stanford Prison Experiment that we had discussed during class. It’s a gripping portrayal of how ordinary people can lose their sense of self and morality when given unchecked power.The film raises powerful questions around how power alters behaviour, how peer pressure can silence morality and how systems can drive people to extremes.
Insightful and relevant for essays on power, morality, peer dynamics, leadership, and ethical courage. This experiment was shared in the class last year also with a prediction that power theme related essay could be asked.
