The Illusionist 2010
Will a girl revive zest in a long, drab life of an obscure magician? A senile illusionist finds himself in an era where everyone seems mad of rock and roll, fashion, and gadgets, ergo, magic ceases to amuse. Often performing on a scanty audience, he finds himself jobless in the cities,

Cultural Gap
I salute diplomats. Perhaps they have the longest patience. They must. Just thinking of the great differences between tribes, cultures, traditions.. they need to overcome these to perform their jobs well. I’m enervated pleasing multiple wishes. I’m plain tired of pretending I can do everything when I apparently can’t. I’ve been consistently convincing myself of this line: “Grumbling…

Why Empower Women

Into the very woof of existence she weaves the shreds of her own being. Woman’s soul colors, forms, molds, modifies, endows the soul of humanity. It is so. It must be…

Mowing
By: Robert Frost There was never a sound beside the wood but one, And that was my long scythe whispering to the ground. What was it it whispered? I knew not well myself; Perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun, Something, perhaps, about the lack of sound– And that was why it…

How to Talk Right
Is there really a right way of talking? Can we actually know how to listen and respond accurately? Is there a hope our conversations won’t end up frustratingly empty, banal, or worse yet, useless? Paul Grice proposed four maxims by which we can gauge conversations. Before you frown or get cynical, give his maxims a…
