Check out these 5 useful tips for a blissful career!
A beautiful poem full of intense emotions! 'I am a warzone/My people are hungry/My animals are just a bag of bone/The stray dog never knows why today/No leftovers are thrown.'
I am a warzone I became one, for a ruthless tyrant Got irked by another Now my sons and daughters pursuing college Cannot walk any further
The infant yowls and yowls for milk His mother has none to spare If they, patrolling on the streets, hear They’ll snatch and hide him somewhere Like they did to the neighbour’s kid yesterday I can see the parents beseechingly pray
The young man desperately begs His master to give him some chore He says, I’ll clean your house, mow your lawn or clean your floor I beg you to give me my pay So my family will live another day
I am a warzone Rich condescending megalomaniacs Fight for control over me I’m only scared, Look at how they ravaged their territory
I am a warzone My people are hungry My animals are just a bag of bone The stray dog never knows why today No leftovers are thrown
The fish and birds and cats And all the life in the forests The plants and trees and butterflies Don’t know where their future rests
My future a question My present an elegy I am a warzone I don’t know how long I’ll be.

From all news reports, clearly, Aftab Poonawalla seems to be a psychopath, and It was a well-strategized story of domestic violence, abuse, subjugation, and a well-planned murder.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, gaslighting, murder, and abetting violence, and may be triggering to survivors.
One case has gripped the nation and I do not need to mention which. My problem is with how the news reflects a victim’s character. The disrespect we show to someone who was long abused and lives no more is appalling. The disservice we do to her through spoken and written words lies in the sensationalizing of the entire case.
How do you spot a crazy human? They do not have two horns and red eyes. They may have no empathy but will show it to lure the victim, just like a child abuser lures a child with candy. Their grooming styles may vary but it is mostly about creating an untrue sense of safety and security around the victim. They present themselves as this effortless savior, an ultimate generous destination for a mentally and emotionally vulnerable person.
Fathers play a crucial role in nurturing and raising children, so why isn't paternity leave considered essential?
Some time ago, Bollywood couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt were in the news, yet again. An entertainment website, Bollywood Hungama, reported that the expectant father, Ranbir, wished to take paternity leave to spend time with his baby when it arrived.
The website claimed that the actor would not be signing new films for the time being. He would take care of the child, while his wife Alia would return to work at the earliest.
One would think the internet would laud this sweet and thoughtful gesture. Instead, Ranbir got trolled for his decision to be a stay-at-home dad. Netizens made fun of him; they claimed that it was because he had no offers in the pipeline, and Alia was far more successful than him. Others claimed that it was the right decision – his recent films (other than Brahmastra) had bombed, and it was time he reflected on his roles.
