History lessons in the shadow of Qutub Minar
On February 20,our class went on a heritage walk to the Qutub Minar complex. It was truly a wonderful experience. The ancient buildings contrasted starkly with the modern ones and it was like taking a step back in time. I had thought it would be like an ordinary history class,but I was in for a surprise.

New Delhi: There is no Indian conglomerate that can come within touching distance of Reliance today in terms of net worth, even though brothers Mukesh and Anil Ambani have split the business into their own diversified groups. And for that wealth, they have to thank the vision and risk-taking ability of their father, the late Dhirubhai Ambani.
vishal rathuorPublished 3 years ago in JournalWhat happened to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, once India’s first-choice quick?
In the absence of Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav, the discussions surrounding India’s current pace options have reached fever pitch, especially with a historic win in Melbourne in the bag, and two Tests still to play. While India sort out its current conundrum, it’s difficult to not think about the ones who missed out to injury – Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Ishant was the more obvious candidate but the series could have been Bhuvneshwar’s comeback ticket. Yet, for the umpteenth time, injury came in his way.
pradeep mishraPublished 3 years ago in JournalThe Golden Section of Writing:
The Golden Section of Creativity How do we measure creativity, luck, inspiration? The Golden Section, that well established Golden Ratio of 1.618 symbolized by the Greek φ (Phi) named after Phidias (Φειδίας), considered the greatest sculptors of ancient Greece (Parthenon, Acropolis,Temple of Zeus) can be a useful tool for finding harmony and proportion, breaking from patterns, changing lanes, and exploring the unknown in order to grow in our professions. We know that numbers are not spirit, or living things but a way to convey meaning, place holders or conversion tools to measure and define what is unknown, mysterious, or what we call inspiration. Building on that logic we can apply the Golden Ratio to Creativity: could its source equally be found in between those irrational numbers somewhere between 0-1 or 1.618 and 1.618..9, those infinite numbers of expression? As writers how can we stretch the imagination in a way that (Adler/Wolff, 1960) described geometry “Nothing but the mind can draw a Euclidean circle”. That which is without definition is the destination.
Regina CampbellPublished 3 years ago in JournalMississippi Sapphire
CHAPTER 1: Great Aunts, Nanoo and Tee Tee: Twins Sapphire was a nickname given to me by my great aunt Nanoo in Arcola, Mississippi in 1974. She got the name from a TV show in the 70s. I learned later in life that Sapphire was a an image portrayed by black women in film, shows like Amos and Andy, as a sassy, smart-alec, taking no stuff, stubborn, hateful, or even as they say, "a bitch". Where I lived then was called the Quarters. The Quarters was a row of ten red houses. I was only three years old and I have vivid memory of my early years growing up in Mississippi. I felt that my aunt Nanoo and Tee Tee wanted me to be their guardian even at 3yrs of age. My other aunts, uncles, and cousins lived in the other red row houses in the Quarters. It was a village and I felt comfortable in it and it felt so safe. It was a village of love for me. I remember so much from my childhood in Arcola, Mississippi. My great Aunts, Nanoo and Tee Tee were twin sisters. Tee Tee had chin hairs and we actually thought she was a man but later in life, me and my sisters believed she was to be a butch or dike or something of that nature. They would sit in the living room a lot in their twin black leather huge reclining lazy boy chairs. They owned a floor model TV and it was huge. They'd sit there watching TV all day. I recalled running to their house all the time. I even stepped on that giant bee running from house to house and I got stung too. I pulled out the black flat stinger. I still remember to this day, or I'd step on a fire ant farm and they'd start crawling all over my legs and I'd get bit. I even stepped on an old board with a nail sticking up and got hurt. All this from running house to house. Yes, there was blood, but I was OK. I even remember making mud pies with my sisters. One cup of water mixed with 2 cups of dirt. Then shape the mud pie like a biscuit and put it in the sun to bake. Then we had mud pie. I also found a turtle one day and I kept that turtle as a pet. I was young and I put the turtle in a big rectangular trunk that was full of clothes and guess what? It died. I didn't even know turtles needed water. I just knew I had a pet. Now, going back to my great Aunt Nanoo and Tee Tee house, I remember sitting in front of the TV. I loved watching their floor model TV. I'd sit right in front of the TV as if I was Carol Ann from the movie Poltergeist. They would sit in those black chairs right behind me; watching over me and I felt safe. I love and miss my aunt Nanoo and Tee Tee.

My favorite activity is conjuring characters and creating them on the page for use of literary character depth. I map their attributes. I feel it is necessary to discover their personalities so my readers can uncover their secrets and not so secrets.
