“I don’t understand it,” Gregor said, sipping his vodka.
“It means my understanding of many important things has proved incorrect,” Jacob said, watching the Persian country roll by their window.
“Care to elaborate?”
“Not yet, not until I know more. How long to Tehran?”
“A day. Come on, give your comrade a hint.”
Jacob shook his head, “suffice to say, our forefathers were more intrepid than I had imagined. It’s breathtaking. I have to telegraph once we’re in Tehran.”
The train rumbled on.

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.

Indian festival Onam: A Celebration of Culture, Tradition, and Unity
**Onam: A Celebration of Culture, Tradition, and Unity** Onam is not just a festival but a grand celebration deeply rooted in the cultural fabric of Kerala, a southwestern state in India known for its lush landscapes, rich heritage, and vibrant traditions. It marks the homecoming of King Mahabali, a beloved mythical ruler whose reign was considered a golden era of prosperity and equality. This ten-day festival, typically falling in the month of August or September, brings together people of all communities to revel in joyous festivities, culinary delights, colorful decorations, and traditional art forms.
