आईना / Mirror  – Kaushal Kishore

 

 

आईना तो सभी देखते हैं रोज आईना,

लेकिन नहीं देखते, जो चाहिए देखना…

वह सच तो कोई दूसरा ही दिखाता है, 

आईना बनकर जब वह पास आता है…

🪞 🪞 🪞

Everyone looks daily in the mirror’s gleam,

But they don’t see what they should deem…

It’s someone else who reveals what’s true,

Acting as the mirror, drawing close to you…

♫ The Power of Love ♫ (Redux) | Filosofa’s Word

An early scene in the film has Marty McFly and his band The Pinheads auditioning for the high school dance. Lewis has an uncredited cameo in this scene, where he plays a teacher who is judging the auditions. The group plays the beginning of “The Power of Love,” but before Marty can sing a note, Lewis cuts them off, telling them, “I’m afraid you’re just too darn loud.”

De las flores y plantas de tu jardín – Santiago Galicia Rojon Serrallonga

De las flores y plantas de tu jardín, no encuentro ninguna porque todas han muerto, unas por extrañarte tanto y otras por la ausencia de tus manos amorosas que mucho les dieron cada día, al amanecer y durante las tardes, cuando aliviabas su sed y mencionabas sus nombres con gran emoción. Cada una llevaba, en sus colores, tu alegría y tu sonrisa, lo mismo en la primavera de nuestras vidas, en tu jardín inmenso de la casa solariega, que en el espacio más pequeño, en los años postreros de tu existencia, cuando el invierno asomaba a tu ventana. Caminaban las horas y los días, y los pétalos, las hojas y los tallos exhalaban perfumes y suspiros, mientras los acariciaba el viento y las gotas de lluvia deslizaban en sus texturas. La vida flotaba en tu jardín, entre árboles, plantas y flores, donde las abejas sustraían el dulce elíxir de la naturaleza, los colibríes decoraban el paisaje, las mariposas sumaban su policromía y las aves cantaban y volaban, libres y plenas. Vivías en armonía, con equilibrio, en total plenitud, contenta por la fortuna de estar al lado de mi padre y de nosotros, tus hijos, y también morías porque las manecillas corrían imperturbables, ausentes de apegos e indiferentes a todo. Ya no están tus flores. No encuentro tus plantas. No veo los eucaliptos y los pinos, ni tampoco la granada y la higuera. Tal vez el concreto devoró tu jardín al cubrir los poros de la naturaleza y asfixiar la vida que crecía y regalaba colores y fragancias, o quizá utilicé sus materiales con la intención de construir un poema para ti, o acaso los tallos, las hojas, los troncos y los pétalos se fundieron con el objetivo de formar un sendero, una ruta, un camino a los rincones del paraíso. De tu viejo jardín, donde ahora gravitan la soledad y el ingrato vacío, solo quedan los recuerdos y los suspiros de tu bella existencia, una vida que ahora palpita en el infinito y percibo en cada flor, planta y árbol que descubro durante mi caminata por el mundo.

Jamelle Bouie: JD Vance Should Resign in Shame! | Diane Ravitch’s blog

Despite the debunking of the story about Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs, despite the story becoming a national joke, JD Vance continues to peddle it. Vance is a senator from Ohio, meaning that he is hurling insults at people he supposedly represents.

Jamelle Bouie is a regular columnist for the New York Times.

If Senator JD Vance of Ohio had a moral compass, a shred of decency or a belief in anything other than his own ambition and will-to-power, he would resign his Senate seat effective immediately, leave the presidential race and retire from public life, following a mournful apology for his ethical transgressions.

As it stands, Vance has done none of the above, which is why he is still, as of today, using his position in the United States Senate and on the Republican Party presidential ticket to spread lies and smears against his own constituents in Springfield — Haitian immigrants who have settled there to make a new life for themselves.

The main impact of those lies and smears — which began Monday when Vance told his followers on X that “reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country,” and continued Tuesday when Donald Trump told an audience of 67 million people that “they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats” — has been to terrorize the entire Springfield community.

On Thursday, bomb threats led to the evacuation of two elementary schools, city hall and the state motor vehicle agency’s local facility. The mayor has received threats to his office, and local families fear for the safety of their children. Several Springfield residents, including Nathan Clark — father of Aiden Clark, the 11-year-old killed when his school bus was struck by a minivan driven by a Haitian immigrant — have pleaded with Trump and Vance to end their attacks and leave the community in peace…
