Long Castling: The Meaning of the Title

The fifth column covers security issues and political strategies, which became a core of the international media due to the Russo-Georgian conflict.

A voice unheard

She looked out of the window. Her hands clasped firmly on the grills. Black worn-out flakes stuck on her fingers as she tightly held on to the iron railings.

Suicide

Death – a very horrid but truth, such that it is almost impossible to like. The fear of physical pain and misery forms an enclosure around us, so much that we fail to do anything about it and in effect, keep ourselves more engaged in worldly affairs for undying distraction.

Busy

Well nowadays who isn’t, right? Honestly, I don’t think anyone can afford to sit around with their feet up whilst twiddling their thumbs thinking of what to take on next. “Oh my God, I’m sorry I forgot to get back to you because I was sooooo busy “. I mean how often do we not [...]

A Touch of Sugar

If you think you have a touch of sugar think again and think fast because the clock is ticking. Before you know it, you could end up becoming one more diabetes related statistic.

I know I am not supposed to fear the Indian monsoons, but give me a break if I want to feel a bit of trepidation regarding the fury of the weather back in India, then I am allowed to. After all I do not live in bondage. I live in a free country, came from [...]
