Artist's story poem
Who and what are artists? Do you draw, write, sing or take pictures? Do you use a pen and paper or a computer or do use a paintbrush or sculptors' tool with clay or stone or musicians with their music whatever the style? An artist is one who can show an image in words or show through using various colors or other forms of media like a photograph. Artists are people who see people and things in a different light for how other 'regular' people see things. We share our stories in words as writers and images as artists and photographers and sculptors. We share our ideas and dreams with all who care and want to see and hear our work.

The Blacklist Season 10.
The producers of "The Blacklist" should have let well enough alone. The main cast seem tired and slow, the new additions to the Blacklist team are better than the originals still left in the series.

Exploring Alternatives to Cremation Diamonds: Transparency and Authenticity in Memorializing Loved Ones
Creating a lasting memorial for a loved one has taken a modern twist with the advent of lab diamonds made from ashes. This innovative idea promises a unique way to keep the departed close, encapsulating their essence in a gemstone. However, the Cremation Diamond Fraud Report 2020 by Global Claims Associates sheds light on a critical controversy that looms over this sentimental concept: the transparency and authenticity of the process.

Never Piss Off An Author (You Will End Up in Our Next Work!)
A cliché statement, yes, but true, nonetheless. It comes with the territory of watching this world turn (and burn) before my very eyes as well as your own, I’m sure of it. In my own case, I have felt story upon story begging me to be written as more events unfold, not merely in current events globally, but in the behind the scenes of said events. Never mind how such events may impact my own life—bigger things are at play and must be called out!

Deconstructing Atheism
"Professor John Lennox's Insightful Analysis" The relationship between belief in God and rational evidence Some thinkers argue that we must make a choice between God and science, much like choosing between Henry Ford and Engineering as an explanation for the motor car. In this discussion at the Oxford Union, Professor John Lennox presents a compelling case for God, providing dense content for serious contemplation.

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.

Utopian Optics of DNA Data Storage
Recently, as I was browsing through the list of current members of DNA Data Storage Alliance (DDSA)— a collaborative group composed of various entities from academia, industry, and technology sectors that are working to develop and promote the DNA-based archival technology — a company called Imagene caught my attention. Upon closer inspection, the company was involved in an interesting ceremony in France.
