Living The Pod Life

James Stanton

When you're up against a trouble, Meet it squarely, face to face; Lift your chin and set your shoulders, Plant your feet and take a brace. When it's vain to try to dodge it, Do the best that you can do; You may fail, but you may conquer, See it through!

Black may be the clouds about you And your future may seem grim, But don't let your nerve desert you; Keep yourself in fighting trim. If the worst is bound to happen, Spite of all that you can do, Running from it will not save you, See it through!

Even hope may seem but futile, When with troubles you're beset, But remember you are facing Just what other men have met. You may fail, but fall still fighting; Don't give up, whate'er you do; Eyes front, head high to the finish. See it through!

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. Regardless of what sport you choose or what level of enthusiasm you show towards the game, it can be agreed that sports hold a specific meaning to society. 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. Most militaries across the world have had their members living in a boarding school,

Many of us struggle with the fact that rent is just far too high to afford. A recent survey has found that those in Los Angeles are highly unsatisfied with the cost of housing.

In turn, many young people are starting to give up on the idea of living in traditional homes and apartments, and are starting to turn to pods. These pods are similar to living in a hostel, and in general, is confined to just a small sleeping area.

Those that have decided to take on the pod life absolutely love it. In fact, so much so, it’s completely shocking, with many even getting the logo of a pod-housing community permanently tattooed onto their bodies. Most commonly – on their necks, making it a real part of their identities.

Although getting a pod related tattoo is rather astonishing, it really should come of no surprise that people in Los Angeles have chosen such a way of living, where prices are sky high, and in many cases, incomes just don’t seem to match up.

Co-working spaces and ride sharing has already become the norm, and perhaps living in pods is on its way there too for young professionals. Let’s just hope the tattoo aspect of it doesn’t become the norm too.
