The Marks of Success and the Hidden Quest for Peace

The declaration of the CBSE Class 10 results in 2026 marks a pivotal moment for millions, often treated as the ultimate verdict on a student’s potential and future. Families celebrate high percentages as a guarantee of security, yet this raises a vital question: can a digital marksheet truly shield a person from the deeper anxieties and uncertainties of life?
