Never Piss Off An Author (You Will End Up in Our Next Work!)

Never mind how such events may impact my own life—bigger things are at play and must be called out!

William Carlos famously said, "Time is a storm in which we are all lost." This quote fits with the timing and situation with which the Uniform Civil Code has been brought up into the limelight.

Bhavishya GoswamiPublished 4 months ago in CritiqueJustice or Discrimination
In the new year, the castigation of Indian laws vis-a-vis the laws that try to alleviate the circumstances by commiserating with women has increased. The enlightenment of this discrimination, as referred to by some people, is taking a fillip among the masses, especially in youth through socio-legal influencers such as Amish Aggarwala.

It began with a pool. Imagine the black sky, the crickets singing, and you’re about to snuggle into your bed until you hear little splashes in your pool. You look out your window and realize how deep and inconspicuous your pool is at night. You get startled because something just moved in the water, in a panic you rush downstairs to your front door; by the time you’ve reached the pool you see nothing there, nothing but a lock of hair floating in the water. M. Night Shyamalan created this bedtime story for his daughters just by looking at his pool, little did he know this bedtime story would be retold in a motion picture.
