(4) Myanmar police deserters seek asylum in India – YouTube

Thousands of people fleeing violence in Myanmar have crossed into neighbouring India’s north-eastern state of Mizoram. Among them are police officers who defied orders to shoot their fellow citizens protesting the country’s military coup. They now live in hiding and fear for the safety of their families back home. Although locals and authorities in the state of Mizoram have sympathy for the refugees, with whom they share close ethnic ties, India’s federal government wants to stem the tide of those coming in. Our correspondents report.

Wondering Wednesdays, Baby Acres, and Human Rights as Equity

Good basis and start for this upcoming book!

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This post  goes on to begin the rough draft of my current non-fiction WiP, Baby Acres: A possible Vision for Making Society Suck Less, in 60 Years.   (Thanks, once again, to JYP and Tammy for the title ideas!!)  The overall goal has been to lay out a roadmap for a fully inclusive society for all of us, so, I am turning, this week, to the introductory chapter, Chapter 0, of the book, in the hope that All HumanKind  will eventually have each person’s basic needs  met.  This book lays out one possible path for getting to that point.

The Palanquin

Weekend Stories by Trishikh

“Hun Huna re, Hun Huna… Hun Huna re, Hun Huna… Palki choooleyyy gogon toooleeeyyy (The Palanquin mooovesss under the skkkyyy),” rhythmically chanted the fast-moving group of twelve. A torchbearer bearer in front and one in the back provided the only lights casting dancing shadows of the men and a swinging wooden box amidst them on the pitch-black surroundings in the dead of night, cutting through the wild and scary belly of the Chilapata forest in the mystical northeastern lands of India’s West Bengal state.

The dense forest, rich in wildlife situated in the Dooars region of Alipurduar district forms an ancient elephant corridor between the present-day Jaldapara National Park and the Buxa Tiger Reserve. Back in the fifth century Anno Domini of the Julina calendar the area was home to the largest Rhinoceros populations, which has dwindled much in the modern-day. Leopards, however, have managed to thrive and still continue…

We have a tendency to look outside of ourselves for solutions, not knowing that the reservoir of all knowledge resides within us. We are co-creators in this Universe, we can give life to our vision of the world we want to live in. We can do it, we must do it for the sake of Earth’s survival.

Covid vaccine will be mandatory for some college students

The list of colleges and universities planning to require students be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 is growing.

Already, Cornell University, Rutgers University, Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, and St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas, have said vaccinations will be mandatory for students before returning to campus in the fall.

“Medical and religious exemptions will be accommodated, but the expectation will be that our campuses and classrooms will overwhelmingly consist of vaccinated individuals, greatly reducing the risk of infection for all,” Cornell President Martha Pollack and Provost Michael Kotlikoff said in a statement.

More institutions are likely to follow, according to Lynn Pasquerella, president of the Association of American Colleges and Universities.

What Will People Say?

Shayan's Sphere

How many times have you stopped yourself from doing something only by pondering how people will react to your actions? How many times out of fear of someone else’s criticism and condemnations have you abandoned your own dreams in which you believe more than your own self? And indeed how many times someone’s else perspective or perception made you to question over your own identity as well as your own potentiality? Too many times to count, isn’t it?

If you make a lot of money people will question over your honesty. If you don’t make money they’ll doubt on your capabilities. If you spend money on yourself they’ll call it show off. If you don’t they’ll call you miser. If you do good in an exam people will say you know nothing other than books. If you don’t they’ll call you indolent. No matter what you do, haters will always…
