The Dumbest Man In The Senate Has Suspicions — Mock Paper Scissors

“And my third point…” Ron Johnson, the Louie Gohmert of the Senate, is adding a new item to his Wikipedia entry: Vaccine Conspiracist. It takes a special kind of crackpot to suggest that the gubmint has some sort of evil plan in wanting to vaccinate as many people as possible against the Trump-Virus, and RoJo […]

A call for stronger, fairer health systems

Ensuring that those populations most marginalized among us are able to access vaccines against COVID-19 is not only a moral imperative but also vital for our collective health and well-being. As a global community, we have the ability to increase vaccine reach among displaced populations and to leverage investments in the rollout of vaccines against COVID-19 to strengthen health infrastructure for all, while meaningfully including displaced communities in the process. As the world confronts one of the most formidable public-health challenges in recent history, how we respond today will determine not only the course of this pandemic but also who benefits from public-health advances for years to come. We may further entrench the inequities and distrust experienced by refugees and displaced populations around the world, or, by recognizing and confronting these inequities, we can build stronger, fairer health systems that are better prepared to respond to COVID-19 and future health emergencies.

Alphabet soup for the soul – “Q” — Words from Walden

Q is for Question “Question everything. Learn something. Answer nothing.” -Euripides– Question everything. Question your thoughts. Question your beliefs. Question the Universe and then do it again. This is how you will find out who you are. Question your values, your purpose and your reason for doing the things you do. Ask other people questions […]

Moving Minutes

Bio-Blogger

Dear moving minutes

Look at my blinking eyes

Moving faster than your’s

In sync with your magical moves

In deep love with you ofcourse

Wait for a while before you decrease

Each minute my love for you increases

Feel my love and our togetherness

I love the way you treat me and tease

You are my yesterday, today and tomorrow’s source

Never ever try to part off by force

You are my precious charming “Prince”

I am blessed to have you and love you loads

Above the clouds, I am on my way to thank God for his blesses

I feel jealous people around watches

Let’s meet up in a paradise dreams

Let our love reflect in the beauty of butterflies

Romace in the flame of rainbow colors

Dance on the floor of darkest clouds

Rinse in the rain of purest flows

My dear moving minutes, don’t you love me??…

Let’s Spread our Sparkles!

Saania's diary - reflections, learnings, sparkles

Here is a poem about letting out our inner sparkles! (And today is my birthday!🎂)

Let’s spread our sparkles
Wherever we are
Like the effulgent moon
And the scintillating star

The world isn’t fair
It doesn’t always listen
But let us be grateful
For the life we’re given

The daunting diseases
The cataclysmic wars
Take hundreds of lives
But we still have ours

The ability to wake up
The opportunity to live,
To start another day with
The power to dream big

It’s easy to hate,
To be a scoundrel and a snide
Let’s retrieve the kindness
Found deep inside

Let’s flash our lights
When it’s so dark
For it’s time for us
To ignite our spark

The anger we spew
The fears we feel
The problems around us
Only love can heal

We refuse to be kind
And unfurl love along the way
But when we open our eyes…

Leopard On The Terrace

Weekend Stories by Trishikh

At 3:00 AM every morning Gopal Gaitonde would diligently answer to natures call. He believed the nocturnal hour was the ultimate to empty one’s internals of faecal waste. On missing this specific moment, his bowels would go bonkers for the rest of the day. Failing the sacred potty hour meant a day of total commotion for Gopal, one could say.

Gaitonde was a security guard at the Govardhan Vatika Housing Complex, a massive gated apartment community in the western suburbs of Mumbai city, located right on the edge of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, better known as the SGNP among the locals of the region.

The reserve forest shared its borders with the Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary in Palghar district and Yeoor Range in Thane district of the Maharashtra state. Spread across an area of 103 square kilometres and sandwiched between the eastern and western suburbs of the Mumbai metropolitan covering…

Palestinian media reported that 78 Palestinians were injured and 15 of them were treated in hospitals. About 20 Israeli police officers and at least 16 Israeli civilians were hurt as well.
