A Very Personal Journal
The past six years I've relied most on my Aunt Lia, who was the only person there for me when I got out of jail. She saw that my soul was amputated and she did her best to revive me. I looked for work, but I was mostly homeless with the exception of her allowing me to stay at her place or my husband (now ex) allowing me to stay at his place. Every trauma I've ever experienced has been twisting inside my soul for the past six years as I've tried to reclaim myself and my life. I still feel like I've done nothing and can do nothing even after all of my efforts for six years. I have nothing to show for my survival of the trauma and nothing to show for my survival of any incident where I was victimized --- except for my exceptional proverbial "violin" playing which has become cumbersome to those who helped the most (specifically Aunt Lia and my ex George). Yet for all their help, I know without an ounce of a doubt, that my lack of having anything else to share but a violin song is not because of lack of effort, or goodness, or "positive thinking". I know this without an ounce of doubt. It it simply because I had more enemies than friends. Perhaps I wore out the patience and kindness and generousity of the two most helpful friends I had (Lia and George), but when I have nothing but my violin song to play, what are my options? The only option I see at all, is to find new friends.

Manu Bhaker - the beacon of hope for women in the gendered narrative of Indian sports
Manu Bhaker - the beacon of hope for women in the gendered narrative of Indian sports When a woman empowers herself in the endeavours of what she is excellent at, the ripple effect of her success serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration to millions of other women who aspire to accomplish their dreams. The road to success in sports for a woman in India is filled with narratives of disparity, prejudice, harassment and societal shunning. While many fall prey to injustice in their odyssey towards their goals, I find ecstasy and bliss in celebrating Manu Bhaker’s journey to secure a bronze medal in the Olympics. In this article, I examine the current status of Indian women in sports through the lens of the legendary victory of Manu Bhaker.

The Things We Learn From TV Programs
Introduction I watch a lot of television and some of my favourite series are ones that drop in interesting facts as part of the stories that they tell. One of my favourites is "Elementary" with Lucy Liu and Johnny Lee Miller. I watched the whole series and then restarted from the beginning and still thoroughly enjoy it and I may rewatch it when I am finished.

Of Ether Bridges Built
What Is The Meaning Of This? A Preface This is another "story" for the graveyard, basically. It is a mish-mash of unrealized wholes which may or may not paint a shared, let alone ragtag, significance. Honestly, you can blame the 600 word minimum for submissions for it. Some things simply don't need all that much space to speak. That's all that needs to be said, really, no "pun" or otherwise intended. The point simply stands in practice; in principle; at attention. For what it's worth, I hope you enjoy it. Even the minutest parts of it all. Thank you for your continued support, no matter how "formed". - Z

Should I write an autobiography?
I wrote poems, stories, and editorials at www.allpoetry.com from 2010 to yesterday. Today for some reason the website doesn't want to load up. Would I be devastated if the website disappeared and I was unable to locate all of my writing for the past 14 years? A bit. But as a writer, it just keeps flowing and often I'm redundant so "new and improved" is really just recycled ideas with a fresher voice and a sharpened skill. It's all good whatever happens, but I'm wondering today if I should really try to put an autobiography book together.

Echoes of a Distant Star. AI-Generated.
The Birth of a Star and Its Echoes Stars are born in the cold, dense regions of interstellar space known as molecular clouds. These clouds, composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, collapse under their own gravity, initiating nuclear fusion at their cores. This process generates intense heat and light, which we perceive as the birth of a star. However, the light from these young stars doesn't just travel in a straight line; it interacts with surrounding matter, creating echoes that propagate through space.
