Dear Someone
From No One
Dear Someone,
I called today
You didn't pick up the phone
I held open the door
You grunted
I smiled
You looked the other way
I let you in front of me in line
You were there before me anyway
I reached out my hand
You sidestepped me
I asked for a minute
You didn't have a second
I drove you home
You slammed the door
I fed you
You spit it out, sent it back
I handed you a tissue
You cried
I shut my eyes
Yours opened
Love,
No one

If India and Pakistan went nuclear, what would be the impact?
Tensions in Kashmir, fueled by the repeal of Article 370, lead to increased violence and Pakistan's involvement in supporting militant groups. China sees an opportunity to establish supremacy at the Line of Actual Control (LAC). 🗳️🔥 Pakistan and China launch a two-front attack on India, with Pakistan invading from the west and China from the east. India, prepared for this scenario, goes on the offensive against Pakistan while defending the LAC. 👊🇮🇳 Despite initial setbacks, India pushes back against Pakistan using its superior military strength. China, realizing the situation is not in its favor, withdraws support, leaving Pakistan alone. 🏃♂️🇨🇳 Faced with a losing conventional war, Pakistan's military leadership convinces interim Prime Minister Anwar ul Haq Kakar to prepare for a nuclear strike against India. ☢️💣 Pakistan's options for launching nuclear weapons are limited due to India's naval presence and air superiority. The Shaheen 2 medium-range ballistic missile becomes Pakistan's primary choice. 🚀 India detects Pakistan's nuclear preparations and readies its missile defense systems, including the Pradyumna Ballistic Missile Interceptor (PAD) and Ashwin Ballistic Missile Interceptor (AAD). 🕵️♂️🛡️ As a last resort, Pakistan launches a nuclear attack targeting New Delhi and other strategic locations along the India-Pakistan border. India's missile defense systems intercept many of the missiles, but some still reach their targets. ☢️💥 In retaliation, India launches a devastating nuclear counterattack, targeting Pakistan's major cities and military installations. Pakistan's leadership is wiped out, and its nuclear launch sites are destroyed. 😠💀 The nuclear exchange leaves both countries devastated, with millions of casualties and widespread destruction. India, though severely impacted, retains more of its command structure and military capabilities. 🏴☠️🤐 In the aftermath, India focuses on securing Kashmir, reinforcing its defenses against China, and managing the diplomatic consequences of the nuclear war. 🔒💼

Tales of the Aurora Borealis
Who knew a solar storm could be so beautiful? Purples, reds, and greens shimmering in our skies like dancing ribbons. Hypnotic and enchanting, the Northern Lights have had us humans in complete awe for centuries. Which got me thinking, what did our ancestors think of the Aurora Borealis?
