You are a true global citizen.
Your life is not in vain
but a beacon of hope for mankind.
Though you could have indulged
in the pleasures of modern technology,
you chose a different path.
You decided to fight for your country,
to sacrifice your precious life
for your motherland.
I would say
I love that world
in many ways.
When my mind gets disturbed,
storms of sorrow blow,
and unsteadiness engulfs me.
I start my journey towards it.
Like that world journey,
no other journeys give me satisfaction.
The scenes there are beautiful.
Understanding the language of birds,
learning scientific achievements—
any amount of time I travel,
losing myself without thinking
anything in that world.
The best thing about the world is
the time ship
Buying books from old bookshops is
mind-pleasing and enjoyable.
The joy of purchasing from
an old bookshop
is a distinct and unique experience
compared to buying a book
from a new bookstore.
The availability of book selections is
much more limited in a new bookstore.
For example,
you can't find nicely bound
serials with illustrations
that appeared in old magazines
or comics in a new bookstore
like you can in an old one.
Charismatic personalities attract us immediately when we see their faces. Before we consider their positives and negatives, they enter our hearts, much like how, without any apparent reasons based on our unconscious minds' feelings, we are drawn to certain flowers, colors, or birds. JFK (John F. Kennedy) is such a personality in my life.
The first time I saw his charismatic face was on the cover of his biography written in Tamil, published by Vikatan publisher from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. It was displayed at a convenience store at the Jaffna Railway station, and I was with my mother at that time.
The current war between Israel and the Palestinian state, in my view, will bring about a permanent solution to the conflict. In fact, Hamas' attack on Israeli civilians initiated the current war, with the root causes stemming from Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian territory for many decades. During this period, many thousands of people have been killed. Now, the entire world witnesses what is happening in the occupied Palestinian territory.
This is just an opinion of a global citizen. In my view, I think Trump is right. NATO is outdated for the current age. Warsaw no longer exists. Why NATO? It's just a mindset of collective security consciousness. So far, what we have learned from the Russian-Ukrainian war is that NATO is fighting against Russia through Ukraine. Still, Russia has not been defeated. Why can't the war go beyond a certain limit? That limitation is Russia being a nuclear power. Any small nuclear escalation will wipe out a large portion of the globe.
In the beginning, when NATO saw Russia's unexpected losses, it didn't expect them. Thus, it warned Ukraine's leader to safely escape. When NATO saw Russia's losses, it saw an opportunity to weaken Russia, helping Ukraine and imposing sanctions on Russia. So far, this approach has not worked out. What happened is the opposite. Many nations, when they saw the West's sanctions on Russia, thought that one day this would come to them as well. Meanwhile, Russia, China, India, and many other countries saw an opportunity for their economic alliance, BRICS.
Camels never break down
and never get tired seeing deserts,
never get scared witnessing desert storms.
they love traveling long journeys.
Whenever mindstorms blow,
trapped in the whirlpool of memory,
losing boats in the mind-sea,
and swimming,
I think about camels, wishing
I were a camel.
In those moments,
I think about camels
that are tireless
in the long journeys
of turbulence.
Falling leaves, chirping birds,
blue skies, trees, lakes, twinkling stars,
humans...
Who wrote the code of this program
of space-time
where we all function?
This program has bugs
like all other programs,
but it's exceptional
in one aspect:
It allows
its objects
to fix their bugs.
Concrete! Concrete! Concrete!
Walls of innocent white surfaces
that absorb the rays,
radiating flames.
Cement-coated pavements chuckle.
Spaces which lost themselves
in the warm embraces of the
valorous columns.
The hot rays seep through
the layers of air.
I am chained in the empire of solitude.
As a slave or master?
Neither of them,
But as an entirely liberated
and adorable bird singing.
In an unfettered world,
does any ghost of distress exist?
In the world of no laws,
does melancholy exist?
The rays of light,
friends of mine,
shyly hide behind my flying.
Below us, there are Flatlanders.
Visiting their world is my preferred hobby.
Differences in dimensions benefit us,
because of this,
the world of Flatlanders always entrances me.
The reason behind this bliss
is the superiority complex.
It's our weakness as well.
Is it not enough for my bliss or entrancement?
Charlton Heston's portrayal as Moses in 'The Ten Commandments' is the best role of his movie career. The first time I came to know about him was through my dad, who admired Charlton Heston, Garry Cooper, and Antony Quinn. In my childhood, I watched a few films with my dad, including 'The Ten Commandments' and 'Ben-Hur.' He always talked about Cecil B. DeMille, who directed 'The Ten Commandments.' I still remember my dad telling me that Quinn was Cecil B. DeMille's son-in-law.
If you look at history, the struggles of oppressed people often prevail in the end, though at times it may seem otherwise. Sometimes, armed ...
