Keith Donnelly

Don't look for the flaws as you go through life; And even when you find them, It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind And look for the virtue behind them. For the cloudiest night has a hint of light Somewhere in its shadows hiding; It is better by far to hunt for a star, Than the spots on the sun abiding.

The current of life runs ever away To the bosom of God's great ocean. Don't set your force ‘gainst the river's course And think to alter its motion. Don't waste a curse on the universe – Remember it lived before you. Don't butt at the storm with your puny form, But bend and let it go o'er you.

The world will never adjust itself To suit your whims to the letter. Some things must go wrong your whole life long, And the sooner you know it the better. It is folly to fight with the Infinite, And go under at last in the wrestle; The wiser man shapes into God's plan As water shapes into a vessel.

- Ella Wheeler Wilcox

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.

Anthropologie, the popular and trendy American homeware retailer has recently been scrutinized on social media for selling birch twigs at a rather hefty price of forty two dollars.

Their package of twenty birch twigs comes out to an entire two dollars a stick. These sticks could very easily be found yourself on the street, free of charge.

Antropologie has officially named these birch twigs ‘Decorative Birch Bundle’ and was apparently added to their store for those looking to add a rustic look to their homes. However, their new addition did nothing but cause incredible outrage on the internet.

Photos of the birch twigs tied together with two pieces of brown strings was shared all over social media, with people making some hilarious and angry jokes about the company’s failed effort.

Some people even went to the Anthropologie product page in order to comically mock the Decorative Birch Bundle by leaving overly positive reviews and comments about the product.

The homeware store also offered the option for those that couldn’t afford the sticks to pay it in four payments of ten dollars and fifty cents.

Somehow, the Decorative Birch Bundle has been removed from Anthropologie’s website, and we doubt that it’s because it was sold out.
