The Silent Choir
They called him the Mute Miracle. No one remembered his name—only his presence. A calm figure who walked through broken villages with a satchel of herbs and a soul full of song. But no one had ever heard his voice. Only a low hum, like a lullaby echoing from another world. When he placed his hands on wounds, the pain lessened. When he closed his eyes, the restless slept.

Ashes of the Burned
When Aelia's village was reduced to ash by the Unitist Seekers, all that remained was silence—and her. The fire that consumed her home did not touch her skin, but it scarred her soul. Justice was preached as flames devoured her past. The Seekers called it divine cleansing. She called it annihilation.

The Moon’s Chosen
The first time Kiran sleepwalked into the forest, he awoke beneath a silver-lit sky with no memory of how he got there. Before him stood an ancient shrine, half-sunken in earth, its marble kissed by moonlight and vine. He should have been afraid. But he wasn’t.

Inheritance: The Lost Prayer
The ruins of the monastery always whispered, but no one listened anymore. Toma did. He had grown up on their edges, sleeping under shattered stone arches and moss-covered saints whose faces time had erased. The villagers called him "beynaam" — the nameless. No parents, no lineage, just a boy who wandered too close to sacred ground.

Gemini 2.5’s Deep Think Mode: Can Google’s AI Outsmart Humans Now?
A Brainier AI Steps Up Ever flunk a math test so bad you wanted to hide under your desk? Yeah, me too. Now imagine an AI that could not only ace that test but explain why you bombed it, then whip up a study guide faster than you can say “calculus is evil.” That’s the vibe with Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, especially its new Deep Think mode, unveiled at Google I/O 2025. This isn’t your average chatbot spitting out quick answers. It’s like a nerdy Sherlock on steroids, pausing to ponder multiple solutions before dropping a response that’s scarily spot-on. But can it really outsmart humans? Or is this just Google hyping up another tech toy? Let’s dig into what Deep Think does, how it’s flexing its brain, and whether it’s ready to dunk on our puny human minds—or if it’s got some growing pains.

The Death of Search as We Know It: How AI Mode Is Rewriting the Rules
Goodbye, Blue Links—Hello, AI Brain Remember the days of typing “best pizza near me” into Google and scrolling through a dozen blue links, hoping one wasn’t a dud? Yeah, those days are on life support. Google’s AI Mode, rolled out to all U.S. users in May 2025, is flipping search upside down, turning it from a list of links into a chatty, mind-reading assistant that knows you. It’s like swapping a library card catalog for a psychic librarian who’s read your diary. Unveiled at Google I/O 2025, AI Mode uses Gemini 2.5 to deliver conversational answers, personalized results, and deep-dive reports, all while pulling from your Gmail, Calendar, and past searches. But is this the future we want? Or are we trading convenience for privacy and a fractured web? Let’s unpack how AI Mode is rewriting search’s rules—and what it means for society, from our daily habits to the businesses fighting to be seen.

I Read 100 Self-Help Books and I’m Giving You Their Secrets
My Quest for a Better Me Five years ago, I was a mess. My desk was a chaos of unpaid bills, my dreams of writing a novel were buried under excuses, and my mornings started with a groan and a snooze button. I wasn’t failing, but I wasn’t thriving either—just drifting, like a boat with no rudder.

I’m packing all that wisdom into this guide, a gift from my journey to yours, with three big lessons to light your path. Ready to grab it? Let’s roll! 😄

The Secret Map We Found to Save Our Marriage
Rain was smacking the windshield like it had a personal grudge, and we were stuck in traffic, the kind that makes you wanna scream into a pillow. My spouse and I were just sitting there, quiet as strangers, the radio spitting out some sticky pop song that sounded like it was mocking us. We weren’t fighting, but man, the vibe was heavy—like we’d forgotten how to be us. Then, out of the blue, they chuckled, all soft and nostalgic, and said, “Hey, remember that time we got lost on that road trip and ended up laughing like idiots in the middle of nowhere?” That memory—us, dumb and happy, fumbling with a torn gas station map under a flickering flashlight—hit me like a rogue wave. It wasn’t just a funny story; it was the “map” we’d scribbled for our marriage, the one we’d let get buried under laundry and late-night emails. That soggy car ride, with the smell of wet jackets and stale coffee, turned into the moment we decided to dig it out.
