A Tonne Of Onions For Revenge

I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.

- William Wordsworth

Let’s Talk About Cricket

Cricket has been a prevalent sport in the subcontinent for a long time. It is something that the locals relate with to a great extent. Be it bowling, or batting, or fielding for a match. Interestingly, Cricket was introduced in this region from the British when they acted as colonizers. The locals picked up the sport and adopted it as if it were their own sport, thereby developing a strong conviction to it. Experts agree that youngsters living in the Weald, a region of thick forests and clear

What are Sports to Society?

We all know what sports are by definition. We have all heard of different games like cricket, basketball, football, hockey, and many more. Other people enjoy watching different sports and some people can be enthusiastic enough to never miss a game.

The definition of a sport goes far beyond knowing the rules of the game. There is a greater con

Military Culture

You might have heard that different cultures exist across different ethnicities, but if you have seen some of the most classical military-based movies like “A few good men”, or otherwise have an interest in military life, then you will know that there is a completely different culture in the Military and although civilians might not be able to understand that culture, it is well practiced in the military.

We’ve heard all kinds of strange stories of revenge, but this is surely the first of its kind. A very heartbroken young woman in China, known as Miss Zhao, decided to seek revenge on her boyfriend who cheated on her by sending him an actual tonne of onions to his house. Why would she do this? Well, this answer is obvious – to make him cry just as much as she did when he cheated on her. She also made sure to send these onions over a very significant day, May 20th, which is known to be the equivalent of Valentine’s Day in China, when her pain was surely at its peak.

Miss Zhao is reported to have gone through her cheating boyfriend’s phone and to have had the shock of her life to discover that he had in fact not only been texting several other girls while they were together, but that he also had already somehow cheated on her. Miss Zhao was completely devastated, crying her heart out and, of course, ending the relationship with him too. While she was at home suffering, he was continuing to enjoy life and go out with other girls, not shedding a tear over her, making her even more aggravated.

This is when she decided to get back at him and get the revenge she felt she deserved, ordering 1,000 kilograms of onions sent to his doorstep with a very clear message stating who they were from, and why they were sent. The delivery man apparently had to unload the bags of onions in several batches, and could barely manage to hold in the tears himself while carrying all those onions. When the cheating ex-boyfriend returned home later, the horrific smell of the onions had already spread throughout the entire building, which caused much more mayhem than just a few tears shed.
