The Utopian Concept of Gender Equity
There is a thin line of disparity between self-respect and arrogance that most people err in their lifetimes and cannot distinguish when the time arrives. I wonder how Indian society finds it appalling for women to be assertive and bold in their stance as they try to voice out their opinions on what they believe in. While I respect our culture of virtue, values and morality, it is baffling how patriarchal our society is, as it still perceives women through the fragile glass lens of being demure, nurturing, soft and family-oriented while she is working and expects her to be silent in her stance when men of the house are talking.

Vampire Stories appeal to gothic romantics
I just finished reading a Top Story written by Angel Hepworth, a negative review of the "Twilight" movie based on Stephanie Meyers books. I did not read any of those books, but I was a passionate fan of the movie series and watched the films more than once. After reading the points made by Hepworth in her review, I feel like I may be in the minority (although that does seem awkward considering how successful the books and movies were) when I say that I still love those movies. I read all of the negative feedback, but I just couldn't make myself agree. The only thing I could say in my defense as a fan of the Twilight saga, is that it's like creamed corn. I love creamed corn, especially in entertainment.

THE CHAOS AND HUMAN SHIELDS IN LIBYA
The death of Muammar Gaddafi in October 2011 marked one of the darkest chapters in Libya’s modern history. Gaddafi, who had ruled Libya for 42 years, was captured by opposition fighters, beaten, and killed in the chaos of his final stand in Sirte. His death came after months of NATO-backed uprisings against his rule. What followed his brutal end was a descent into a darkness that Libya had not known before, as a power vacuum engulfed the country.

The Darkness
I’m thinking of starting a novel, but I could really use some help brainstorming ideas and themes. Here’s a quick summary of what I have in mind. If you have any suggestions on how to take this story further, I’d love to hear them! It’s going to be a sci-fi adventure about a professor who’s on a quest to uncover the secrets of the universe. But guess what? He’s not alone! A dark force is trying to show him what the universe really means, and it’s not going to be easy. He’ll have to face an ancient battle to learn the lessons he needs to find the answers he’s been searching for. A hidden world exists within our own, controlling our every move without our knowledge. Peter Edwards, a university professor, stumbles upon this alternate universe on accident during one of his late-night studies in his lab. While attempting to prove the universe is merely a cosmic accident, he senses a powerful force speaking to him. Late nights in his lab, conducting experiments and researching, led to Peter experiencing unsettling feelings. As he leaves, he catches glimpses of movement where no one should be. Shadows seem to shift and follow him. The hairs on the back of his neck stand up as if he's under intense scrutiny. There seemed to be a whole realm out there that disagreed with his entire existence. As the novel develops, Peter finds himself being sucked into another reality that only he can see. Where everyone sees a shadow or a statue, Peter sees the force behind life. The stone soldiers give him a salute as he passes it on the street. A lion’s roar causes his research paper to scatter to the floor when he finally thinks he is making progress. His research was being fought. His whole life seemed to be in a spiral. Peter confides in his wife about what is happening at work, but she is convinced he is going mad. She is terrified and begs Peter to go see a counselor and get some help. However, Peter is a stubborn man and does not wish to seek out help. His curiosity gets the best of him, and he is forced to investigate what these visions mean. Could there be something to what he is hearing and seeing? Is there more to life than his research and studies?

WIP - Neverchangeable
The Premise: I've been struggling with this story for close to a year now. It was inspired by a customer who told me a story about his friend doing something illegal, even though he'd just become a father. The customer shook his head and said, "People never change. Not really."

This is going to hurt, okay?
Childhood. A soft caress of your warm blanket, a sweet touch of innonence and clean hands. She was a pretty girl skipping in her backyard while the smell of homemade cake wafted by the opened kitchen doors. The vanilla and chocolate scent swung in the air like someone created magical waves using a magical wand. Same like in the girl's favorite disney movies. "Get in here sweety, it's windy out there" The girl stopped skipping and answered back to her mother, "In a minute mom! I think its finally gonna rain!" She looked at the sky shielding her eyes from the wind just as a rain drop landed on her nose. She smiled and sat down in the grass, placing her skipping rope beside her.
