As twilight approached, the sky grew a color of mauve. It was just a pleasant distraction for the darkness that was to consume the peace giving sky. In a distance the warrior sat in a sit up position chanting his daily hymns, he had taken a wow of silence, it was a bargain in exchange for a gift of foresight- but which would come at a time not of his picking. He picked...
There was something so peculiar about it that I could not get my eyes off it once I chose to look at it for a very small while. It had something captivating, or so I felt. I remember now, it was a gift, an old gift, a cherishable one, a beautiful one. It had a story tagged to it; I so much remember everything now. It was gifted by a college friend. And today when I’m...
The whole world seemed so distant all of a sudden, as if it had ceased to exist altogether. My otherwise always-filled-with-thoughts mind had become silent, as if no other thought seemed imperative right now.

Whenever we talk about the world’s highest mountain, Mt. Everest, the first thing that pops into our head is Tenzing Norgay, one of the first of the two individuals to have reached the summit of Zhumulangma Peak (Chinese name). But he was not the first person to have climbed this ‘goddess of the sky’. Long before, this mountain had been climbed by George Herbert...
Great highland bagpipe, the spirit of an indulgent single malt (my favorite being Glenfiddich), beautiful scenic overview, highlands lowlands, and inlays, a rich and sumptuous cuisine and football. Well that’s mostly of Scotland what we know, but interestingly enough it has a lot more to offer. Being one of the smaller parts of the Great Britain, Scotland has managed...
Recently, a new twist was observed in the economy with the inflation rising to unexpected and unplanned levels. This rise is something even the top economists didn’t see coming their way with retail price inflation rising to 5.3% as seen in the month of April.
