"As much as I appreciate the information , the timeline and even his opinion. The extreme glorification of Bengal and bashing of INC is becoming a bit boring. Don't get me wrong, I truly believe Bengal played humongous role but to completely keep on nullifying INC role and super highlighting the negative (and then not acknowledging that the reaction to INC led to nationalism movement) is very annoying." — Jun 27, 2026 02:39PM

"Did I expect this?No.I wanted to know how she thinks.A woman who captures nuances so beautifully, does not dwell in grayness at all and maybe that makes me lonely.
She also seems mum about the gossip of her love interest.It is amusing to see how she makes her life,her brothers and her parents life open book but shrouds her lovers into secrecy(only the part related to her is shown).In this way, she is like me." — Jul 24, 2026 09:38AM

"So we know were we are. In an absurd village, people are confused, some are slimy on top of that. 2 people presumed dead (who acted very slavish in the office and hero in here are back)." — Feb 18, 2026 06:26AM

There was one little child, probably three years old, just big enough to walk through the sand. The Indians had gone ahead, and this little child was behind following after them. The little fellow was perfectly naked, travelling on the

A holocaust we have all failed. I completely agree to the writer's point of view that sometimes, the magnitude of the massacre is so great that we lose the human touch and only think of it in terms of numbers. How that very thought robs the tragedy of its justice.
“Whether you want to or not. But the place you return to is always slightly different from the place you left. That’s the rule. It can never be exactly the same.”

“The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.”

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”

“Given the shortage of women in California during these early years of white settlement, “a likely young girl” might cost almost double that of a boy, because, as the Marysville Appeal phrased it, girls served the double duty “of labor and of lust.”
