Theme: Sehar

“Even the darkest night will end and the Sun will rise.”
- Victor Hugo

“Sehar,” the first light that breaks the night’s silence, becomes more than just a symbol for its literal translation – “Dawn.” It marks the beginning of an inner awakening, a spark of renewal emerging from darkness. It signifies a metaphorical journey from darkness to light,
representing transformation and the triumph of hope over challenges. Dusk represents the moments of uncertainty, a time when challenges arise, the period of ‘metaphorical’ darkness.

“Sehar” represents resolution, enlightenment, and fresh opportunities. It embodies hope and clarity, the emergence of light after the dark hours of suffering. It underscores a full cycle of experiences, determining growth, resilience, and the pursuit of purpose. It inspires one to see challenges as stepping stones and embrace the idea that darkness is temporary and often
necessary for transformation. The odyssey towards Sehar is not a linear one. The night becomes a symbol for the moments of struggles, efforts, choices, and sacrifices, which often take place to reach the milestone one desires. The darkness presents the battles we face in the form of obstacles, fears, and burdens, all of which demand relentless effort. Every step forward, every decision taken, and every path
left untrodden contributes to the journey. The weight of what is left behind, the regrets, and the unfulfilled dreams, cannot be ignored, as letting go becomes an essential step of achieving what one dreams of. Failures act not as obstacles but instead as stepping stones for coming closer to accomplishments. In the end, the night teaches us that dawn does not come freely; it is earned
through resilience, persistence, and the courage to embrace, rather than detest, the struggles of
the darkness, knowing they lead to the promise of light. Night symbolizes the richness of reflection and resilience gained from facing challenges. It’s the quiet strength found in moments of uncertainty; the lessons etched in shadows. Dawn, on
the other hand, brings renewal, growth, and the hope of new beginnings. But they are not opposites but instead they are deeply intertwined, each shaping and being shaped by the other. Every moment of dusk carries the seed of dawn, just as every light casts its own shadow. This dynamic process reflects how tradition and progress are not adversaries but collaborators in
shaping our shared future. The passage from darkness to light symbolises the spirit of human tenacity and resolve. It
serves as a reminder that every hardship and sacrifice, every setback and anxiety, all of these things mould us into the people we aspire to be. Though the night presents many difficulties, it can be a transforming environment where we face our shortcomings and discover our talents.

A monument to the unbreakable spirit and the unrelenting pursuit of our dreams is the fact that we earn the dawn by accepting the darkness rather than running from it. By embracing the transformative journey from dusk to dawn, Sehar becomes a gentle yet
profound reminder that life’s challenges and uncertainties are integral to its beauty. Every dusk carries within it the promise of dawn, just as every struggle holds the potential for triumph. The arrival of Sehar is a tribute to the enduring spirit of humanity, a celebration of the resilience, persistence, and faith that light will always follow darkness. It inspires us to align ourselves with hope and embrace the endless possibilities that Sehar represents.
