The Holiday Cheer

You know, I've either had a family, a job, something has always been in the way.

But now I've sold my house, I've found this place, a large studio, you should see the space and the light.

For the first time in my life I'm going to have a place and the time to create.

No baby, if you're going to create you're going to create whether you work 16 hours a day in a coal mine or you're going to create in a small room with 3 children while you're on welfare.

You're going to create with part of your mind and your body blown away, you're going to create blind crippled demented, you're going to create with a cat crawling up your back while the whole city trembles in earthquakes, bombardment, flood and fire.

Baby, air and light and time and space have nothing to do with it and don't create anything except maybe a longer life to find new excuses for.

- Charles Bukowski

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.

This is the week of the holidays. As Hanukah has begun and Christmas is near, the holiday cheer and spirit is ever so present in the cool crisp air. Although not everyone is ever so blessed with the wintertime snow and cold air, there is something so special about this time of the year that it doesn’t affect much.

As we walk the streets, go shopping in the mall or even go to the local grocery store, it is quite apparent that the holiday time is in full gear. No matter what store one goes into there are always string lights hanging, jolly songs playing and friendly smiles all around.

This, in turn, is what makes the holiday time so enjoyable. People are cheery and for once not grumpy. It is more understandable that the stores are going to be busy and there is going to be a build-up of traffic. Why? Because, people are in town visiting their families, out buying toys or shopping for eight nights of Hanukah.

Even though it is one of the annoyances of the holiday times, no one really cares because when lights are up and the holiday time is here, everything is aye okay in the world and all anyone can do is cheer!
