Dream

-
I dream of the day
I will go home
My hardwork shall pay
The moment I see the open door.

My mother shall be in tears
And I in her lap
She will love me for years
Till it's time to go back.

My father will be the happiest in ages
He will hug me and kiss me
He will express his love in stages
And inspire and bless me.



My siblings will have a hundred stories
Of what happened when I wasn't around.
Together we'll have fruits and berries
That we'll now not fight for.

My mother will cook me the best savouries
My father will not stop till i drop
He will fill my plate with memories
And scold me when i refuse to take any more.

We will huddle together on the sofa
And watch tv and laugh
We will sleep together on the terrace
And wish for nights longer, days half.

May this vacation last a lifetime
May the golden sun never set
May my sleep last some more time
Till my dream is reality one day.

Slang of the day! - Bae

Okay so the word 'bae' has gone all viral on the internet and it was our moral responsibility to tell you the truth. 

 Dear 'Bæ'-users, we MUST tell you that as much as you'd love to shorten even a four lettered word called 'babe' to a 2/3 lettered one, addressing your loved ones by calling them 'bae' is simply gross!


Truth: Bæ/bae is a Danish word for poop. 

So the next time somebody says 'Bae I love u so much', remember, it's a TRAP!

     “With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his."-  George Bernard Shaw              Reading or listening to Shakespeare can be like learning a foreign language. And then some people have trouble finding the "real" or "true" emotion or feeling in the words. It takes time, and everyone is in such a hurry. Well, not everyone. People liked the movie "Shakespeare in Love", but then the language was changed when the "real" characters were talking with each other while not reciting their lines. The main issue may be intellectual accessibility. They are nauseatingly boring to read. And all I learned was that Early Modern English hurt my brain. The most bizarre and probably the coolest of all was Muammar al-Gaddafi on Willy, who was,  Sheikh  Zubayr bin William. Gaddafi came up with this champion in

Black Lives Matter

'There comes a time when silence is betrayal'.   -Martin Luther King .  To where it all started… Let's go back in time to the year 2013- The year 2013 which has made all difference by celebrating the acknowledgment of the existence of black lives, when the never answered injustice in the form of racism was questioned. Black lives matter is the world famous movement which signifies the contribution of the black folks in the society. The movement came to life against the white supremacy because of the deadly oppression and the brutal behaviour faced by the black race community. The movement black lives matter focuses on changing the mindset of racists that there is no black-white, African-American, the only race is Human race. In other words, humanity should be our race and love should be the religion. How digital media played a role? The gruesome death of Trayvon Martin a 17 year old African American who was shot in Sanford, Florida by George Zimmerman who

Feminism: The Way Of Being

  A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men. Gloria Steinem. Feminism not a one way concept, a wide spectrum…       Feminism – an eight-letter word which has shaped the beliefs of all of the human-kind, which has kept the connotation of ‘feminism’ as the advocacy of women’s rights the grounds of the equality of the sexes. Through this piece, I’d like to share my notion about this sentiment, seeking to establish parallel ‘hope’, ‘freedom’, ‘space’, ‘contingency’ and ‘cut’ through a male prospect. The penchant wave formally began in 1848, where about three hundred men and women rallied about for the cause of equality for women. The socio-historical oppression was born when contradiction was seen as the antagonism between both of these sexes on the basis of biological differences, being compared to men, it was believed that women were at a biological disadvantage, as the reproductive function of a woman was considered as a taboo or a so-called han
