Daughter of the Kites

 This is the story of a daughter who loves her freedom and independence. She's at her threshold of her teenagehood and she's rebellion of a kind. In this storm the father and the mother are at the crossroads of how to deal with such a storm.


The daughter and her good name is Julia and Julia is fond of mobile phones and bikes.Her aim is to earn a fortune by working as a management consultant.She has a very good idea about academically how to get there.

She's often confused about the right path. And here comes the mother and especially father who thinks that what is the right path for Julia ?

Julia is a free spirit and thinks her mother and the father is a bit of a annoyance.

Her father Raja lives on a rental income and mother Shaheen is an accomplished housewife.The family is like an every other middle class family.Both Raja and Shaheen struggle to meet their ends every month.Julia has first class dreams and she has a roadmap to fulfill her dreams.

Sometimes Julia goes off hand with her goals.She is not self reliant and often banks on the families savings as fund to propell her in carreer goals.Julia being the only child and the only daughter in the family is quite loved and well taken care off.

Julia believes that teenage life is to enjoy to the maximum and studies and work comes secondary or she thinks that she can manage both quite optimally.Life is certainly needs to be celebrated but there are rules of engagement without which one cannot excel in life, studies and work.

Julia is short of believing that mother and father are eternal companions and any pain to Julia is a heartache to their parents.

Its been long time since the family had enjoyed meals together.Its been long since they said their prayers together.The family is on collision course with the reality of a harsh winter for which they were never prepared.

Everyone loves everyone in the family but there's no connect and this connect is referred to as a kite in this short story. God bless

Godspeed.

The Holi in Gaza is making me very anxious. I pray for peace and humanitarian assistance to reach everyone who needs them. Volunteers from across the world and from every corner of the planet is anxious too to render their services to mankind beyond the fear of death. Journalists from all nationalities across different media outlets are reporting from ground zero, also putting their lives at risk. Diplomats from different corners of the world are trying to engage in means and forms so as to make a contribution to the crisis. Diplomacy is very limited and direct so as to achieve definite goals every single day. Big time diplomacy is yet to show results in a much more tangible way, nothing yet. Gaza , if not permanent ceasefire, needs a temporary ceasefire, I think Israel is smart enough to figure out Hammas regrouping . But ceasefire is absolutely necessary for those innocent who are at the margins of life and death. Both Israeli and Palestinian lives are precious and peace is at the co

China India Tango

After months of small shows.The time of a big show has finally struck between the relationship of the 2 fastest growing economies who are also close door neighbours. India and China has again locked horns on the issue of nomenclature of some 30 regions which the Chinese contest as part of their territory and are currently in Arunachal Pradesh of the Indian side of her territory. China seems to be a more aggressive partner to the tango while India maintaining a much more balanced posture to the tango. I heard the spokesperson of the Chinese Defence Ministry saying where does Arunachal Pradesh comes from? Well we now know where the recent nomenclatures are coming from?  Well so far the fight is limited to hand to hand and some has been very deadly I must say. On the ground it's peace from both sides. Let's see what is in store after the Indian Polls. Apart from minor to major skirmishes on the border, I don't think both the nation's got that appetite for war. Thankyou and

 The MEA is headed by Foreign Minister Subramaniam Jaishankar also known as S.Jaishankar. He is very intelligent and well read. He has authored two books while being the foreign minister 1) Why India Matters and the second one is 2) Why Bharat Matters. Both are a good read and reflections of MEA S. Jaishankar. His decision of importing Russian oil during the Ukraine War highlights governments concern for India 's Energy Security. Then showing the mirror to Europe was far overdue. He outlined India's need to be non-aligned and devoid of external pressures and that's how QUAD came into force. He reiterated that India has its own view of the world and India will pursue that goal no matter how much is the resistance to do so. On Pakistan, he stated India's stance that Pakistan is the epicenter of terrorism and any talks with the neighbouring country can happen only in the atmosphere of peace 🕊️ and tranquility. Talks and terror cannot go hand in hand. Although it seems, In
