How to Shift Your Mindset and Stop Fear of the Evil Eye
Recently, there has been much banter and controversy on social networks over this concept called Evil Eye, as if this thing exists and that some people's bad vibes or bad wishes have so much to do with our lives. Without much empirical research or scientific evidence being put forward on its basis, opinions widely vary on this aspect of life. I believe that the concept of the evil eye is based on cultural and superstitious thinking, that is, those who feel envious of your success or inner light may wish you harm or cast curses, which can eventually bring about misfortune or a decline in the blessings already in your life.

The Most Hated Figure in Major League Baseball. Content Warning.
When you think of who the most despised player in Major League Baseball history was, which name comes to mind? Roger Clemens? Barry Bonds? Jose Canseco? This former MLB player that I'll be talking about in this story is a name that you may or may not be familiar with. He's former Atlanta Braves relief pitcher John Rocker. Rocker was born on October 17, 1974, meaning that as of 2024, he's 50 years old. He played for four different teams: the aforementioned Braves, the Cleveland Indians (now Guardians), Texas Rangers, and Tampa Bay Devil Rays (now known as simply the Tampa Bay Rays).

Life Lessons from Middle-earth
I still remember the first time I watched "The Lord of the Rings." I was just a kid, curled up in a chair that felt way too big for me, a bowl of popcorn balanced on my lap, and my eyes glued to the screen. I had no idea then that this story would etch itself into my soul, becoming more than just a film. Because, let’s face it—what is Tolkien’s epic, really? A fairy tale? A lesson in morality? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a mirror reflecting the brightest and darkest parts of ourselves.

As society transformed itself from the primitiveness of civilisation to embracing the wave of evolution with technology and modernity in the way they presented themselves and the mindsets they held, the outlook of the workplace has seen its metamorphosis from being completely patriarchal and male-dominated to being gender inclusive and welcoming diversity all over the world.

Why Do Women Need Control Over Their Bodies? Understanding Abortion Laws in India
The issue of abortion has consistently sparked considerable debate and conversation. Some individuals advocate for the rights of mothers or pregnant women to choose to continue with the pregnancy or terminate it; conversely, others believe that a foetus is more than just a mere collection of cells, viewing it as a living entity with its own life, deserving of individual rights and freedoms separate from those of the pregnant woman. A notable instance when personal freedoms were at risk was when women's access to safe abortion services was jeopardized. For many years, until 1971, India deemed abortion criminal and referred to it as “intentionally causing miscarriage.” Voluntary abortion, except in cases where the pregnant woman's life was endangered, could result in a punishment of up to three years in prison, a monetary fine, or both.

The Carpenter's Kid. Content Warning.
