Reset the clock… Again

The Mind of Brosephus

1. Mass shooting.

2. Sadness and grief.

3. Thoughts and prayers.

4. NRA fearmongering.

5. Nothing.

6. Repeat steps 1-5.

It’s not like we don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s not like we don’t know it will happen again. The only thing we can’t pinpoint is the exact time and location of the next mass shooting. America has a gun problem, and we are like the world’s crackhead when it comes to gun violence. We have people who refuse to acknowledge we have a fatal addiction that kills, and that refusal is killing tens of thousands of Americans every year.

This particular topic is personal for a number of reasons. First, I’ve been at places where someone decided to shoot, one time even being close enough to the shooter to know he was shooting a revolver and seeing the sparks coming from the barrel. I’ve seen a person with…

Imaginations are more important than knowledge!

My experience

We all make fantasies. Everything that appears to be true today has started with fantasies. We can imagine everything. However, the barriers of thinking in these corridors are not reduced. Many ideas are still buried deep inside. Sometimes we are not encouraged, sometimes the situation is not right. Sometimes we get so caught up in the routine that we do not allow our imagination to roam freely. Sometimes what we think becomes right there. And this is what we forget. We think on obstacles and go on stumbling. Knowledge is limited and imagination can cover the whole world. While knowledge engages the conscious world, the imagination dives into the vast ocean of the subconscious mind.

Friendship and Religion

Shayan's Sphere

Well I never thought of writing such an article by my own. Actually, just the day before yesterday, one of my poet friend from All Poetry asked me to give my views regarding Friendship and Religion. Is it a necessary fact that two hearts can be mate only and only if they have synonymous religious ideologies? She asked the same question to some other poets. Well I don’t know how the other poets replied, but at least this is what I exactly wrote to her….

First of all thanks for giving me the opportunity to express my views over such a consequential topic. However, I want to clear it first that decently I’ve never thought over such a theme before. And it is equally true that I personally don’t pen on friendship much. Most of the so called friends in today’s world are not far to be compared with shadows…

Durch die Hochtäler der Anden in Peru

I stayed in Lima for a week and roamed the city with the beautiful old colonial houses in the center, especially on the Plaza de Armas: the beautiful cathedral, the archbishop’s palace and the seat of the government president. The bronze fountain from 1650 on the square was also worth seeing.

Senioren um die Welt

Von Guayaquil/Ecuador kommend war mein nächstes Ziel Peru. Um in Lima landen zu können, musste das Flugzeug zuerst eine dichte Wolkendecke durchdringen, die fast während des ganzen Winters über der Küste lag und keinen Sonnenstrahl durchließ. Es war Garua-Zeit, Zeit des Küstennebels, und es war – jedenfalls vor über 50 Jahren – sehr selten, dass man im Winter ein Stückchen blauen Himmel sah. Wenn man nur 30 km landeinwärts fuhr, hörte die Dunstschicht auf. Daher nahmen viele Leute, die damals in Lima beschäftigt waren, gerne den weiteren Fahrweg auf sich und bauten oder mieteten sich ein Haus in den Bergen.

Sportul scuză mijloacele

The village, rebuilt in the 12th century by the Lombards from Piacenza, is crouching somewhat fearfully, because of the many whims of fate

ore de drum

Piazza Armerina, 2014

Permisiunea de a se arăta în public îmbrăcate oricât de sumar ar dori le era acordată, în antichitatea romană, doar zeițelor, sub forma unor grațioase plăsmuiri. Plebeele trebuiau să aibă un motiv bine întemeiat.

Despre mentalități, temple, vile și familii mă voi lămuri pornind într-un circuit sicilian de zece zile în care componenta arheologică intersectează traseele baroc și gastronomic.

Zăresc de la mare distanță așezarea în care se află obiectivul căutat.

Satul, reconstruit în secolul 12 de către lombarzii veniți din Piacenza, se ghemuiește oarecum temător, din cauza multelor capricii ale soartei,

în jurul unui complex din secolul 14 format din două turnuri și o catedrală semeață.

Pentru moment, mă mulțumesc să escaladez doar cu privirea culmile delușorului,

din drumul către Villa Romana del Casale, ținta pasionaților de arheologie, înscrisă în patrimoniul mondial UNESCO.

Toate încăperile vilei au podeaua acoperită cu mozaic conservat în stare desăvârșită grație…

We are something else while climbing stairs, something else while descending!!

My experience

We are something else while climbing stairs, something else while descending. Stairs do not change, just struggle and success change us. On getting beat up, they are immediately filled with anger, they break down and success is drugged. Life tests man’s strength in two ways, either gives everything to him or does not give anything.

Recipe : French Beans aur Aloo ki Sabzi

Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA

I live in a society that is predominantly strictly vegetarian. In fact many of them consume only ‘satvik’ food, which means more restrictions. So, no onions and garlic too. I have a friend in the neighbourhood and decided to make her something with whatever I had at home. I had a lot of french beans and normally, I just combine beans with carrots. But, I was itching to come up with something unique. I love flirting with food. So I thought – how about them potatoes? And viola, this dish was born. It is just sooooooo delicious. I can’t believe I didn’t come up with this brilliant concoction sooner. Anyway, my friend was not available that day so I didn’t even have to share. Worked out great, eh? 😉 Seriously, you missed this, girl!

Ingredients: (I made a huge quantity that would be sufficient for 6 servings)

  • 7 medium potatoes
