HORROR GAMES - PHASE 3

-

The ladder looks shaky but it's worth a shot. You've seen too many horror flicks and know better than to mess around with scary babies. You see a faint yellow light at the top of the ladder. Encouraged, you scramble to the top, only to see a gruesome scene. The room is filled with torture equipment and there are mangled skeletons - victims of the torture - lying about the floor. 


You almost puke. An old bulb was the source of the yellow light. Beside the bulb, there was a strange box-like structure jutting down from the roof. Among the torture devices, a curious whip with 9 sharp claw-like edges intrigues you. You had read about this - the infamous Cat o' Nine Tails whip.But it's lying entangled with a rotten skeleton and you're not sure if you want to touch it. What should you do?

     “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...

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 ...

Celebrating Nature

Somewhere amidst the gleeful pyrotechnics and the vibrant revelries, Mother Nature stands neglected and beat. Even as our leaders are signing conventions to save the planet, we're indulging in festivities that are constantly scarring our environment. So what can we do about it? Quite a lot, actually. One attractive solution is to encourage and participate in festivals that are aimed at appreciating and caring for nature. One such festival that has gained global recognition is the Hanami festival of Japan. Every spring, parks across the island nation transform as the Cherry Blossom (Sakura) trees begin to bloom with their iconic pink flowers. Locals and tourists alike throng to Sakura-viewing hot spots in April to imbibe the enchanting atmosphere propagated by the trees in full bloom. The parks are packed with picnic mats as entire communities get together for 'Hanami parties'. The blossoms last for only a couple of weeks so locals often spend entire day...
