Passage 2 : Chocolate Chacha 

"I have been selling chocolates outside this college for the last 40 years. At first, it was a necessity, but now it's the source of my happiness. I don't need to work anymore, I can sit back and enjoy my retirement, but selling chocolates to these lovely children gives me a reason to live. They laugh with me, they share jokes, they fondly call me 'Chocolate Chacha'. Each day, I try to get the best and rare chocolates for them, just to see that smile on their face, just to hear them say "Thank you, Chocolate Chacha!"

'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.

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 wh...

     “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...

PC versus Consoles! A debate rocking the gaming community since ages! Let’s have a go at it. Bear in mind what you read further shall be “RAW”. As RAW as uncooked meat! RAW with the arrogance of a PC Gamer who looks down upon the Console peasants as inferior beings. Because it shall be portraying how stupid and ignorant console gamers are. How crappy consoles are! How valid and apt the terms “Console Peasants” and “PC Master Race” are! Now if you are a console peasant reading this, be ready to have an epiphany about your stupidity. I am a true blue blood PC gamer and “I’ma be shuttin’ yu console gamurz up”. I was in 4 th grade when I purchased my first gaming console. The PS2! Yes I was naïve back then. Pardon me for this sin that I committed because ever since, I am trying to get rid of the taint this act of mine had inflicted upon me. Having broken my controller within a month of having purchased the console, I have had that waste of money locked in my cupboard ever si...
