I went down to the river, I set down on the bank. I tried to think but couldn't, So I jumped in and sank.

I came up once and hollered! I came up twice and cried! If that water hadn't a-been so cold I might've sunk and died.

But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!

I took the elevator Sixteen floors above the ground. I thought about my baby And thought I would jump down.

I stood there and I hollered! I stood there and I cried! If it hadn't a-been so high I might've jumped and died.

But it was High up there! It was high!

So since I'm still here livin', I guess I will live on. I could've died for love-- But for livin' I was born

Though you may hear me holler, And you may see me cry-- I'll be dogged, sweet baby, If you gonna see me die.

Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!

- Langston Hughes

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,

Starting with a ball of very cold beef—not a patty—it is then quickly seared to an incredible crisp in its own fats, creating a perfectly thin small uneven disc that is still juicy and bursting with incredible taste. It most certainly isn’t extremely thick, dare we say, somewhat boring dad-burgers that taste…a touch too… burger-y? There is undoubtedly a place and a time for something on your grill, but it is not now.

These are just so unique in their own way. This smashed burger technique has a tumultuous past. Most people attribute the notorious Shake Shack, which was created in New York City, to the midwestern chain Steak n’ Shake. Other online searches refer to a little Kentucky burger joint called Dairy Cheer, where it is said that they discovered the secret to the best-tasting burgers: breaking the flesh with a bean can. Every burger needs a sauce that is irresistible and makes you dying for more! Sauces cannot be missed as the burger would be as dry as the Sahara Desert otherwise (not really).

The type of beef you use is also extremely important as it can make a night and day difference for you. Make sure that the beef you use has some fat in it and the meet to fat ratio should be 80 to 20. This will ensure that it is crispy enough. We also recommend adding a sauce into your burger’s meat as it will give it the extra rich taste. Although we recommend adding sauces, you can choose to go sauce less as the burger tastes well without any sauce, which gives you the option to go simple, if you want to keep things minimalistic. We definitely recommend adding cheese. Who does not like cheese?
