Ode to our fuckery.
I miss my friends. There was once a crew that mobbed around neighborhoods like fearless cats. Hiding from cop cars under dim streetlamps and playground slides. On a mission to go nowhere fast, we shared smokes and long-necked bottles. We laughed into the moon until we were demanded back to our beds. Dusty sidewalks cratered with our footprints, we grazed back and forth from park to parking lot. Days we were “going to the movies” we spent giggling with florescent vodka stuck to our smiles. “Can I get 10 bucks for the movies mom” “Yeah, okay. What are you guys seeing?” “It’s a scary one, you wouldn’t like it.”

Appeasing the Gods
If someone told you that the only way to stop a volcano from erupting was to throw a couple of virgins inside it, would you believe them? For most people, the answer is a solid no. Today we have enough knowledge of how volcanoes work to know that it does not matter what goes in the volcano. If a volcano is going to erupt there is nothing we can do to stop it from doing so. While we know this today, people living many years ago did not share this knowledge. For them, the threat of an eruption would have been devastating. In order to try and keep this from happening, they relied on the wisdom of their priests. So when the priest told them to throw a couple of virgins into the volcano, they did it without question.

Raamayana - Bala Kaanda
Sarga 2 Having heard the sentences spoken by Naarada, expert in forming sentences, Vaalmiki along with his disciples, felicitated him. Accepting those felicitations, Naarada, the Rushi of Devathaas took leave and went on his way. After about an hour after the departure of the Rushi of the Devathaas, the Muni (Vaalmiki, Muni means the one who practices silence) went to the banks of the river Thamasa (The river Thames which flows in England derives its names from this river) close to the river Ganga. Arriving at Thamasa river along with his disciples and looking at the slush-free waters, the Muni spoke, thus, “Bharadwaaja, this water is free of slush and is pleasant like the mind of a good gentleman. Son, keep the water vessel and give me the bathing cloth. I will bathe in these waters. You too take bath in the waters of the Thamasa river.” As the Mahatma Vaalmiki spoke thus, Bharadwaaja gave the bathing cloth, as directed, to the guru. Receiving the cloth from the hands of his disciple, the one with controlled organs, considered the vista with happiness.

How do you know Ray Bradbury?
Ray Bradbury is a well-known man but at the same time, not a well-known man. Have you heard of The Pedestrian? Probably not, but you have definitely heard his “most popular” book Fahrenheit 451. Contrary to popular belief he has written more than The Pedestrian and Fahrenheit 451, he has actually written and published 30 books, 600 short stories, and multiple; essays, poems, screenplay, and regular plays.

Please Don’t Read This
They say you should face your fears. One of my biggest fears is that someone will read my notebooks and realise that I’m mad, that I can’t write, and that even when I do write, my first drafts are so terrible that I should be shot in the name of literature. So, here it is. Several pages of my notebook. Uncut. The only thing I’ve corrected is the spelling.

However, out at a time when it's truly needed the most. Hmmm, just another typical Monday why not realize that my toe wanted to meet the edge of the nightstand this morning only to deceive me throughout the day and hopefully not during the night.

Liberalism Of Roy
In today's era ,if anybody talks about "feminism" people saw them in a very negative way . We need to understand the true meaning of feminism , it doesn't mean anti-men .People misinterpreted the concept of feminism . It is very liberated idea it is just demands for a equitable society in which every citizen, irrespective of their gender peacefully . people think is as an alien or western to our culture but in reality it is universal . It is just a myth that inequality doesn't exist . But the question is that why we need to put forward a community . Well if we study the history of India we get the answer.

The Unrevealed Knowledge
The Unrevealed Knowledge - Generational Curse What is your understanding of ¨Generational Curse¨? The answer can vary depending on each individual's religious practice or traditions. One might say my great grandmother was cursed by a witch, as a result our entire generation line becomes subject to certain misfortunes such as poverty, sickness and premature deaths, just to name a few.
