Passage 8 :Earning a Future.


"It has been 15 years since I have started working in this profession. It is strenuous task to wake up at 5 in the morning and prepare the entire day's meal for my children. I also somehow manage to complete my household chores before leaving for work. I try reaching at my workplace on time. But more often than not, I end up being late for the job and receive a pretty good firing from my boss. I try to explain the importance of the food that I prepare for my children to him but he never understands and threatens to fire me. I don't like this at times but I have to endure the wrath in order to fulfill the hunger pangs of my family. After collecting waste from the allotted apartments I have to segregate it with my own hands. Sometimes we are not given proper gloves to work with as well. I know it is hazardous to work in such conditions but it is my destiny-- I suppose. At the end of the day my employers still try to cut down my wages. But I have a family to feed. For their sake I must go on. It hurts me but it's okay, now I'm used to it. I have no expectations apart from a little more respect and equality towards us as a community. Maybe if I work hard today, my children won't have to work in such conditions tomorrow..."

     “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

The Mentalist

The Mentalist is a very interesting show about a man named Patrick Jean, a former psychic who has the ability to "read" peoples minds . He uses these same skills to work with the FBI, and helps them catch criminals. In return he also wants their aid in catching the person who killed his wife and daughter. The peculiar thing about this show is the wa y he use s h is ability to think in absurd ways helps him solve crimes. Putting himself in the shoes of the criminal and predicting the criminal's next move, as well as using a "mind palace" to store all important facts and  evidence of the case, are just a few of the things that he does. Patrick's ability to think in the most absurd fashion and come up with the most crazy reasons as to how a person can be caught or proven guilty is interesting. This is also probably the reason why the show has a very repetitive story line. In which the sequence of events happen i

'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
