Where the Grass Grows Tall
In the heart of a quiet valley, where the wind whispered secrets through tall grass and wildflowers bloomed without asking, lived a gentle brown cow named Kamala. She had strong hooves, a warm gaze, and a heart full of quiet wisdom. For years, she had grazed the green meadow, shared stories with the breeze, and watched the sky shift from pink dawns to silver dusks.

Chasing Daylight
The first time Mira held her son, the morning sun was rising—soft and golden, slipping quietly through the hospital window. She named him Surya, the Sanskrit word for "sun," not only because he was born at dawn but because even then, she sensed he would outshine every shadow in her life.

The Inkwell Horizon

A Nation that eats its own flesh
Does any civilization consume its own meat? Cannibalism—the act of consuming human flesh—has existed in various cultures across the world throughout history. In most modern societies, it is considered taboo to eat "one's own meat," or members of the same community or species. However, there were civilizations where cannibalism had ritual, spiritual, or survival significance. We can appreciate the complexity of human behavior, belief systems, and survival instincts across time and culture by comprehending these practices. It is essential to approach this issue with respect and objectivity. In many cases, cannibalism has been misunderstood, misrepresented, or exaggerated, especially during colonial periods when Western explorers and missionaries often demonized indigenous practices. Nonetheless, there are well-documented cases of cannibalism in history that serve as anthropological insights into how diverse societies viewed life, death, power, and the human body.
