The Utopian Concept of Gender Equity
There is a thin line of disparity between self-respect and arrogance that most people err in their lifetimes and cannot distinguish when the time arrives. I wonder how Indian society finds it appalling for women to be assertive and bold in their stance as they try to voice out their opinions on what they believe in. While I respect our culture of virtue, values and morality, it is baffling how patriarchal our society is, as it still perceives women through the fragile glass lens of being demure, nurturing, soft and family-oriented while she is working and expects her to be silent in her stance when men of the house are talking.

Vampire Stories appeal to gothic romantics
I just finished reading a Top Story written by Angel Hepworth, a negative review of the "Twilight" movie based on Stephanie Meyers books. I did not read any of those books, but I was a passionate fan of the movie series and watched the films more than once. After reading the points made by Hepworth in her review, I feel like I may be in the minority (although that does seem awkward considering how successful the books and movies were) when I say that I still love those movies. I read all of the negative feedback, but I just couldn't make myself agree. The only thing I could say in my defense as a fan of the Twilight saga, is that it's like creamed corn. I love creamed corn, especially in entertainment.

LOST IN THE CITY
In a place once known as a beacon of opportunity, where dreams were supposed to take root and flourish, a thick shadow now lay over the city. Its tall buildings loomed like silent judges over weary citizens, and its bustling streets pulsed with an air of decay rather than hope. Here, the city had become a kingdom of corrupt demagogues and nepotism, a place where power traded hands in darkened rooms and favored the already powerful, while the common people struggled in the cracks left between.
