The Geography Of Becoming
Emigrate. That’s My Advice to You. I want to tell you a story — not of one person, but of many, stitched together into a single voice. The voice of every quiet departure, every tear shed at midnight beside a packed suitcase, every young man or woman who once stood at the edge of the only world they’d known and chose to step into another. Don’t hesitate to emigrate if you ever get the chance — even a fraction of it. Don’t wait for permission. Don’t wait until you have everything figured out. The life you're meant to live might not be here. And chances don’t knock twice. Don’t look back, no matter the pull of nostalgia or the weight of family expectations. Love can wait. Guilt will fade. But time — time will not return. Here, people walk with heavy eyes and hollow smiles. They’re strangers on the inside. You greet them every day, but you never really meet them. How can you, when they don’t even know who they are anymore? I knew a boy named Idris — quiet, always sick, like the walls of his house had soaked the joy right out of him. His mother said he had a nervous stomach, something he inherited from his grandfather. But I knew better. He was being digested by this place. Every headline, every neighbor’s gaze, every rejection, every fake smile — it wore him down. By twenty-three, he had panic attacks daily. By twenty-five, he’d stopped dreaming. Then one day, he left. Took the smallest scholarship offered to a small university in the cold north of Europe. Everyone warned him: “You’ll freeze. You’ll be alone. You’ll come running back.” But he didn’t. Two years later, he came back for a visit. He looked… different. His eyes had light in them. His laugh came freely, not like something he had to remember how to do. His skin had color again, like someone had breathed life back into him. When I asked about his old illnesses, he smiled wide and said, “They didn’t cross the border with me.” That’s what I want for you — to be someone whose light returns. People will try to anchor you with stories of loyalty, of roots, of patriotism. They’ll tell you this country is your mother. That it raised you, that it fed you. But you’ll come to learn something: not every mother is kind. Not every home is safe. Sometimes, it is in another land that we find the version of ourselves we were always meant to be. Whatever you think is enough reason to stay — your family, your memories, your childhood street — don’t let your heart trick you. Don’t let nostalgia dress up pain in warm colors. It wasn’t beautiful. It was merely familiar. And familiarity is not the same as love. I’ve seen men in their forties emigrate and become new again — their blood pressure dropped, their voices deepened with calm, their shoulders finally free of the invisible hands always pulling them down. They weren't running away. They were returning to themselves. This country — it’s no longer a soft embrace. It’s a rival you don’t want to destroy, but one you need to walk away from. Not because you hate it, but because you love yourself enough to seek oxygen. If you leave, do it quietly. Don’t consult the fearful. Don’t announce it to people who will call your courage betrayal. Just leave. And when you go, don’t stop to stand on a hill and gaze at your village whispering, “My memories. My family. My pain. My ghosts.” They will not come with you. And remember that one dog — the one that barked at you every day, as if to say, “You don’t belong here either.” Believe him. There is no real difference between you and him. You’re both caged, restless, misunderstood. Only he cannot speak his grief in your language. Emigrate. Don’t make peace with a place that treats you like a burden. Every tree can turn green again, even when it’s uprooted — if you plant it in clean soil, far from poisoned roots, far from traitors’ piss and empty slogans. Emigrate. That’s my advice to you. Not because I think you’ll have an easy life — but because you’ll have a chance. A real one.

A Moment of Calm at the Farm with a drowning wasp ! . Top Story - July 2025.
A pig slept on warm hay, as if the world stood no chance against its slumber. Its back was turned towards me. His safety was never questioned. But who am I, and should I ever be trusted? It doesn’t matter because that pig had a safe home and would never be evicted. Eaten, but never evicted.

How I Made $100 in 3 Days Just Sharing Links — No Followers Needed
I wasn’t looking to get rich. I just wanted to earn something, anything, online — even if it was just $5 or $10. I had no website, no social media following, and not even a laptop. Just my phone, some free time, and a lot of curiosity. Three days later, I had made $104.62 by doing something I didn’t even know was possible: sharing product links. No, this isn’t one of those fake screenshots or “watch ads and earn” scams. This is real affiliate marketing, and I did it without a blog, without YouTube, and without spending a single rupee. Here’s the full story — and how you can do it too, starting today. --- 💡 The Discovery — What Sparked It All It started when I was scrolling through Pinterest and saw a post: > “Earn with Amazon by just sharing links — no website needed.” I clicked. The post explained how Amazon’s affiliate program lets you earn money when someone clicks your link and buys anything — not just the product you shared. That was the lightbulb moment. I didn’t need followers. I just needed the right strategy and places to post. --- 🛠️ Step 1: Signed Up for Amazon Associates (Free & Fast) I created an Amazon Associates account. It took about 15 minutes. > 🔗 https://affiliate-program.amazon.com After signup, I was given access to a tool where I could create special links for any Amazon product. If someone clicked on my link and bought anything, I would earn a small commission. ✅ No investment required ✅ No followers or traffic needed initially --- 🔍 Step 2: Picked Trending Products Instead of sharing random things, I searched for products people were already looking for — trending gadgets, affordable kitchen tools, or viral TikTok items. I chose 3 things: 1. A mini portable blender 2. A phone holder for desks 3. A neck massager (that had thousands of reviews) Each item was under $25 and had good ratings. --- 📲 Step 3: Found 3 Platforms Where People Needed These Products Here’s where the real magic happened. I didn’t post links on my personal profile or spam people. I used platforms where people were already asking questions or looking for recommendations. 1. Pinterest I created simple images using Canva (free) — with text like: > “This $20 Blender is Going Viral — Here’s Where to Get It” I linked each image to my Amazon affiliate link. ✅ Tip: Use Pinterest business account (free) so you can track clicks. 2. Facebook Groups I joined groups like: Amazon Finds Gift Ideas Best Products Under $30 In these groups, I would comment helpful suggestions like: > “I got this neck massager recently — it’s amazing! Here’s the link if anyone wants it.” No spamming. Just helpful replies. People clicked. 3. Reddit I searched subreddits like r/BuyItForLife or r/AmazonDeals. I answered questions like: > “What’s a good gift for mom under $30?” And I replied: > “I found this neck massager on Amazon — got it for my mom, she loved it.” (insert link) Boom. Clicks started coming in. --- 💰 Step 4: First Earnings — I Couldn't Believe It After two days, I logged in and saw this: > Total Clicks: 88 Items Ordered: 6 Earnings: $48.17 I thought it was a glitch. But nope — it was real. By the end of Day 3, I hit $104.62. And here's the fun part — some of those people didn’t even buy the exact product I linked. But since they clicked my link, I earned commission on anything they purchased within 24 hours. --- 📈 Why This Worked — Even Without Followers I went where the buyers already were I provided value, not spam I picked cheap, useful, trending products I didn’t rely on likes or shares --- 🔄 What I Would Do Differently Now Start using shortened links (like bit.ly or Geniuslink) to track better Focus on niche Pinterest boards (e.g. “Best Gifts for Dads”) Build a small email list using free tools like ConvertKit (optional) --- 🧠 Lessons Learned ✅ You don’t need followers to earn ✅ You don’t need a website to start ✅ You just need the right product, right place, and a smart way to share --- ✅ Want to Try This Yourself? Here’s How You Can Start Today: 1. Sign up for Amazon Affiliate Program (free) 2. Pick 2-3 trending products 3. Make basic pins with Canva (free) 4. Share in Pinterest, Reddit, Facebook Groups 5. Track results, and scale what works --- 💬 Final Words: If I Can, So Can You I’m not a tech expert. I’m not a content creator. I’m just someone who got tired of searching “how to make money online” and finally decided to try something — and it worked. If you’ve read this far, this is your sign. You don’t need a website. You don’t need to be an influencer. You just need to start.

I’m Going to Stop Buying Books
I never thought in a million years I would announce my decision to stop buying books. The realization finally hit me yesterday, when I bought three books in a brand-new bookstore I had been wanting to check out for a long time. Even though the books were cheap, it was $14 in total.

Why Every Tech Company Needs a Public Policy and External Affairs Leader—Now
We are living through a shift in how companies compete, grow, and survive. Innovation alone no longer guarantees market access. Regulation, stakeholder influence, markets changes, public funding, and public trust play just as critical a role especially for technology companies and mid-sized firms trying to scale.
