Navigating the Storm: The Timeless Debate on India's Uniform Civil Code
William Carlos famously said, "Time is a storm in which we are all lost." This quote fits with the timing and situation with which the Uniform Civil Code has been brought up into the limelight. It seemed an impetuous and nimble idea to prompt a heated discussion about UCC. The tenor of various religious leaders and politicians changed when the "Law Commission of India" announced to enlighten itself with the advice of all people of India regarding UCC.

Justice or Discrimination
In the new year, the castigation of Indian laws vis-a-vis the laws that try to alleviate the circumstances by commiserating with women has increased. The enlightenment of this discrimination, as referred to by some people, is taking a fillip among the masses, especially in youth through socio-legal influencers such as Amish Aggarwala. There is nothing wrong with it but reverberating the same point makes the whole idea of amending the laws for better equality defunct as the people prima facie abominate the whole apparatus of the judicial system with a knee-jerk reaction. And this surely creaks the people’s trust in our independent judiciary which has made many precedents of ensuring equality.

The Emergency Problem of the Abortion Issue
It’s 2024. We shouldn’t be where we are, discussing the abortion issue this late in the game. We are allowing politics to manipulate an aspect of women’s health that they shouldn’t wish to have, deciding what happens to them, their bodies, and now, their lives in an emergency situation.

Upon closer inspection, the company was involved in an interesting ceremony in France.

'Lady in the Water' Ventures into the Mythopoeia Genre
It began with a pool. Imagine the black sky, the crickets singing, and you’re about to snuggle into your bed until you hear little splashes in your pool. You look out your window and realize how deep and inconspicuous your pool is at night. You get startled because something just moved in the water, in a panic you rush downstairs to your front door; by the time you’ve reached the pool you see nothing there, nothing but a lock of hair floating in the water. M. Night Shyamalan created this bedtime story for his daughters just by looking at his pool, little did he know this bedtime story would be retold in a motion picture.

The Process of Dyeing; Symbolism Within Shades.
The Process of Dyeing; Symbolism Within Shades. Written By; Akil K. To dye is to give color, or perhaps shade in the case of white and black. Dyeing changes, the article imbues it with symbolic power and dissolves the fibers of conformity. Since that which has been dyed becomes individual from the mass produced. Living a new life entirely, dying to its original form, and likeness, appearing to be an entirely new fabric.

These are the most annoying characters on Desperate Housewives
It's always good to re-watch an old series, especially when it feels like you are watching it again for the first time. The TV show Desperate Housewives was very popular in the 2000's, and I watched it as a kid, not really understanding what was going on. But now as an adult, you do catch on with what's going on and also have an opinion about everything.

What is Love?
What is Love? Is love an emotion that is easy yet hard to show? Is it a feeling that just comes out? Love is what it is and can be shown in anyway that one may show it. Love of all persons, places, things and ideas, and this is not a grammar lesson (haha!). Love is a chance just to share how one feels at a particular moment in one's living life. I guess there could be some out there that could share false feelings of this emotion, but I think that is rare for we all know that we are all loved and being cared for by one overwhelming identity that we all feel love for and that he loves us even if at times of hardships. Love is everywhere.

What is Christmas?
What is Christmas? Christmas to me is a season of hope and love. To be honest when I was younger it was a time of receiving for it was hard to be a giver when as a child you did not have much to (spend) on others. It was not till I was much older that giving became more important for some reason I did not want to be forgotten by family and friends. You do not have to give a big present as long as you give from the heart. I would at times just to receive a special card especially if it was homemade. I like homemade items. Well back to What is Christmas and the season of giving and what it means to me?
