Wind and I

Sometimes in the wind of change, we find our true direction.  "Words are wind.  George R.R. Martin, A Feast for Crows. Wind  is blowing, I need to keep flowing. Breathing lonely, longing to be seen, This soul has also cognized days like these. Perhaps, this  wind  is of change? I was never from myself, so estranged. Strands of my hair moving with the  wind , Hurting my eyes, like thorns, each moment. Wind  has a soily smell, Maybe it was about to rain, for my heart was already pouring, Or Perhaps, it smelled of starting again. Like a light feather, I float again. I rise again. I rise again! -Ananya Shanker  © 2023 I think it must’ve been the wind, for now, I know that I need to soar high above all. The dreams that matter, the people I love and the wind of change. I shall rise, you shall rise. To anyone in trouble, everything is gonna be fine soon. Thank you for reading!

Left no one to help when that skinny figure could have been easily overpowered by only two or three men/women out of twenty to thirties that crossed by. Satan was successful because each stab was meticulously prepared over a long period of time, and passively allowed by the spineless individuals moving through that partially-lit lane, which looked like it was filled with a lot of people, but not with men and women of conscience, of vigor; instead, those were people who had burned their souls long ago in the pits of desensitization that our modern civilization offers, people who hav...

The Song of Achilles: Fact or Fable

“He is half my soul, as the poets say” A New York Times Bestseller and winner of 2012 Orange Prize for Fiction; the debuting novel of Madeline Miller is a warm and tender retelling of Homer’s Iliad filled with a punch of passion, romance, ambition, death and a good dose of drama.

The plot mainly rotates around the two contrasting heroes who become inseparable as the story progresses towards the...
