Waiting After the Rain. Content Warning.
B-24, 2nd Floor Kashmere Gate, Delhi-110006 Date: 18 February 1985 Dearest Riyan, This morning I suddenly woke up at five o'clock. When I opened the window of the room, I saw that it was raining lightly. The cool breeze was cooling both body and mind. The earth, which was thirsty for months, was now quenching its thirst with drops of rain. At that very moment your memories came to my mind.

My love, life had changed
My dear Maria, As I write this to you, the rain taps against our apartment window. It reminds me of the day we first met. Remember that day? We both were running into that crowded Peacock cafe in the village, seeking refuge from the heavy summer storm. You were fumbling with your phone looking for some sort of document, and I was praying that my dying phone last long enough for me to use my ApplePay to buy an espresso. I bumped into you, our eyes met, yours angry and mine in sudden heaven. Despite the masks we still occasionally wore out of habit, I knew you were smiling beyond the evil stare.

A Letter To A Rose
My darling Rose, It has been a few days since I last heard from you. Since then, I have scribbled a few things down in the hope that you have received them. However, I fear that they may be lost or stolen away and in the hands of someone unworthy to read my precious words to you.

To my missing piece.
My Dearest Love, It has been twenty long years since you left this world, and yet, not one day has passed without your memory haunting the chambers of my heart. I sit here tonight, pen trembling in my hand, as I pour out the words that have been trapped within me for a decade. Words I could not speak to you as you lay dying. Words I was forbidden from whispering into your ear as you took your last breath. Words I was denied the chance to say when they kept me from seeing your lifeless body, as if even in death, they sought to sever the bond we shared. But they couldn't. They never could. And they never will.

The Dancing Plague of 1518: When a Town Danced Itself to Death
Prologue: A Town Possessed Imagine a sun-scorched July day in 1518 Strasbourg. The air hums with the clatter of cobblestones underfoot and the murmur of market vendors. Suddenly, a woman named Frau Troffea steps into the square—and begins to dance. Not the joyful jigs of a festival, but a frantic, unending convulsion. Her feet bleed, her breath rasps, yet she cannot stop. Within days, dozens join her. Within weeks, *hundreds*. They dance until their bodies give out. Some collapse and die from exhaustion or stroke. Others simply drop mid-step and hearts burst.

Dominus
I was a gladiator when you found me. I was living in close quarters day after day, smelling the stink of others' unwashed bodies- fighting them for space. Each day we were sent out to struggle for our lives while the nobility watched. We glistened with the fear-sweat of adrenaline as the cheers rolled over us from on high. Our pain was their pleasure. But I don't think it was ever yours. You'd known too much of pain to take pleasure in anyone else’s.

9 million year old shark ancestor fossil found in the desert
9 million year old shark ancestor fossil found in the desert. A recent discovery has left scientists and enthusiasts alike astonished a 9 million year old shark ancestor fossil was found buried beneath layers of scorching desert sand. This revelation challenges our understanding of prehistoric life and raises fascinating questions about how an ocean predator ended up in an arid landscape. While the idea of a shark fossil in the middle of a desert seems almost unbelievable it is a testament to the ever changing nature of our planet. To understand this phenomenon it is essential to look back millions of years when the Earth was vastly different from what we see today. Scientists explain that the very desert where the fossil was found was once submerged beneath a vast ocean. This prehistoric body of water teemed with marine life including sharks before geological and climatic shifts transformed it into the barren land we now see. The fossilized remains of this ancient shark serve as a reminder of a time when this region was part of a thriving underwater ecosystem. One of the key reasons behind such drastic transformations is the movement of tectonic plates. These massive sections of the Earth's crust are constantly shifting albeit at an imperceptibly slow pace. Over millions of years these movements can cause oceans to retreat and landmasses to rise reshaping entire continents. What was once a deep ocean floor eventually became exposed land subject to erosion and the relentless forces of nature.
