Empowering Communication

The Telegram Way

Telegram basically is a messaging app and a cross-platform instant messaging service. It also allows users to send messages, files (even videos), and links; create groups; and also broadcast to a larger audience. 

So, when I was learning about ICT as a communicative tool, the first thing that came to my mind was Telegram is a commonly used communicative tool for us students. Communicative tools refer to applications, apps, and technology that enable easy communication with or without physical barriers. Thus Telegram falls under it, as it has all the features of a communicative tool.

In addition, Telegram has educational benefits for an individual in various ways. It helps a person take a better and increase collaborative learning. This increases the success rate of a person in life as well as academic life, which increases the quality of life (only if we use it in the right way).

To share my thoughts about using Telegram, it is very conventional, first of all. As we all can get access to a Telegram account using the app or website if we have an account, if not, we can create an account. That's also only if we have access to networks such as the internet and Wi-Fi, which becomes a drawback when we have to travel to remote places with network issues. We can use it anywhere, anytime, with or without a physical barrier. It's a two-way process where there is a sender and a receiver, so the sender will send messages in text or voice form or in files, and the receiver can also do the same.

As I mention above, Telegram is a very common or the most preferable communicative tool, especially amongst students. Till now, I have been using Telegram when studying or doing assignments, which is very helpful as it enhances my learning. It has also encouraged collaborative learning while doing group work, as we have to communicate with our friends regarding the assignments. Sometimes we speak or text in the language we are comfortable thus, we all work together to get/achieve a shared learning goal. With this, it provides clarity and coherence when we do assignments; if not, we always have room for discussion and debate. We can also give immediate feedback in Telegram so we don't waste time by meeting face-to-face, which takes time, leaving no room for miscommunication. Subsequently, leading to construction of knowledge through communication in Telegram. 

Subsequently, Telegram as a communicative tool encourages the construction of knowledge, making students responsible for their learning and providing them with an enhanced lifestyle.

About my friend

 A Friend Like No Other


Friendship is one of the most beautiful bonds in life, and I’m lucky to have a friend who makes every moment special. She is more than just a friend—she is like family.

From the first time we met, I knew she was different. She has a way of making people feel comfortable and valued. Whether it’s through her kind words, her contagious laughter, or the way she listens when I need someone to talk to, she always finds a way to brighten my day.

She is strong, smart, and full of life. No challenge is too big for her, and she never backs down from standing up for what’s right. Her positivity is infectious, and even in tough times, she finds a way to see the silver lining.

What I admire most about her is her kindness. She is always ready to help, whether it’s a small act of generosity or simply being there when I need support. She reminds me that true friendship is about understanding, patience, and unconditional support.

Having her as a friend is a blessing, and I am grateful for every memory we create together. No matter where life takes us, I know that our friendship will always remain strong.

Here’s to a lifetime of laughter, adventures, and unforgettable moments.
