It is around this time of the year I return to certain movies that are magical, entertaining, self-reminder, and valuable lessons as well.
Last night I watched Christmas Carol based on Charles Dickens’s 1843 classic novella A Christmas Carol. Having read the book while growing up and now watching the movie seems like one of the best adaptions.
The takeaways:
1. We are not going to take away any money with us, so earn well to spend here.
2. Be nice to folks you may not have any idea what they are going through.
3. Everyone is different so don’t judge.
4. Friends are important and so is family.
5. If we can’t be nice all the time but then be nice most of the time.
6. Be compassionate.
That’s all from the cold and snowing Chicago!

I have my deepest regards for the renowned aerospace scientist and the former President of India, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, who once said,
Ihad a sparrow as a pet,
but it flew one day…
then I had a squirrel,
but it ran away too…
then I planted a tree
and they both came back…
– Dr APJ Abdul Kalam
Inspired by this famous quote, our Banta Singh once wrote:
One day I brought chips,
my friends ate and ran away…
the other day I got chicken tikka,
some other friends came,
ate and ran away…
then I got whiskey,
they all came back
with chips and chicken tikka…
-Banta Singh
I read both pieces and got inspired in my own way. I wrote back as under:
Ihad my dad,
he left one day…
I had my mom,
she also left one day…
I had some friends and relatives,

भरोसा तुम पर
इसलिए नहीं किया मैं ने
कि तुम वही करोगे
जो मैं चाहता हूं,
बल्कि इसलिए
कि तुम वही करोगे
जो मेरे लिए सही होगा…
I trust you,
not because
you will do what I want,
but because you will do
what is right for me…

Zelensky and his fellow Ukrainians have reminded Americans of the values and causes we used to admire in ourselves — the ardent hunger for freedom, the deep-rooted respect for equality and human dignity, the willingness to fight against brutal authoritarians who would crush the human face under the heel of their muddy boots. It is as if Ukraine and Zelensky have rekindled a forgotten song, and suddenly everybody has remembered how to sing it.
Zelensky was not subtle about making this point. He said that what Ukraine is fighting for today has echoes in what so many Americans fought for over centuries. I thought of John Adams, Frederick Douglass, Theodore Roosevelt, George Marshall, Fannie Lou Hamer, the many unsung heroes of the Cold War. His words reminded us that America supports Ukraine not only out of national interest — to preserve a stable liberal world order — but also to live out a faith that is essential to this country’s being and identity. The thing that really holds America together is this fervent idea.
Records show James Dunn was convicted twice for defrauding federal government agencies. He registered his school board training, which he described as an alternative to “woke” programs, with the Texas Education Agency this fall.

Over the weeklong period ending Wednesday, the nation’s most populous county recorded 147 deaths — up 37% from the prior week’s tally of 107. Since Oct. 2, there have been 875 COVID-19 deaths reported countywide. L.A. County’s COVID death toll number in the last week is nearly as high as that for all of California from flu in the past two and a half months. Since Oct. 2, 160 flu-related deaths have been reported statewide, including 31 in L.A. County.

“We told girls to have proper hijab but they didn’t and they wore dresses like they are going to a wedding ceremony,” he said. “Girls were studying agriculture and engineering, but this didn’t match Afghan culture. Girls should learn, but not in areas that go against Islam and Afghan honor.”
He added that work was underway to fix these issues, and universities would reopen for women once they were resolved. The Taliban made similar promises about high school access for girls, saying classes would resume for them once “technical issues” around uniforms and transport were sorted out, but girls remain shut out of classrooms.

HISTORY’S FIRST RECORDED AUTHOR WAS a woman named Enheduanna. Born sometime in the latter half of the 23rd century BC, Enheduanna was the high priestess of the ancient Mesopotamian city of Ur. It was a political role as well as a religious one; as the daughter of a powerful king, Enheduanna was no stranger to affairs of the state. In her writing, she wielded her pen for peace, working to unite a fractured kingdom.
