Modernity Stories

On June 4, a girl was born into a wealthy family. Her parents named her Raya. The girl's full name is Raya Lee Windraven. She happened to be born into a loving aristocratic family. They are also the most powerful magical family in the country called Baneville. But there are five other countries that are currently considered the most powerful in the world. Baneville is a small country, but in the future it will catch up with them all and take first place in the ranking of the most successful countries in the world. At the moment, the leader is the country of Drakevorren. It is the strongest and most developed country in the world. (Both in terms of magic and economy). In order to catch up with it, Rae and her friends will need a lot of magic and resources to raise their country to first place, but it's not that simple. There are also exclusion zones. They are inhabited by the most powerful magicians, who possess all forbidden magic. At the same time, they also have curses that they can easily cast on strangers, which no one could survive. And they can also change their appearance. For example, they can transform into different creatures from all the myths of the world.

This book was written right after the 9/11 attacks that were staged in the two big cities of the United States of America in 2001 and it was explained with verses from the Qur'an, the practices of the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) and examples from Islamic history that Islam denounces terrorism. However, terrorist attacks continued after 9/11, and spread to other countries including Great Britain, Spain, Turkey and France. This prompted politicians, academicians, religious leaders and writers, in other words, all conscientious people all around the world, to look for solutions to terrorism, to understand its causes and to work out the steps that should be taken. When this book was first written in 2002, we explained with evidence that terrorists, and most importantly their leaders, are selfish, cruel and merciless people who, as a result of Darwinist and materialist education they received, see life as a constant struggle where only the fittest survive. Such people came to believe that violence and wars were justified means to their ends. Al Qaeda was very active at that time. Especially in recent years, many new terrorist organisations have emerged and they have used similar Islamic symbolism in their attacks against civilians. This deeply flawed understanding, which is diametrically opposed to Islam, a religion that favours peace over war, life over death, forgiveness over punishment, reconciliation over conflict, legitimizes violence against non-Muslims, and even against Muslims if they have different views or if they don't practice Islam or if they follow a different sect. Surely, this radical mentality is the biggest problem of the world today. Hopefully the money currently being squandered on weapons will be spent on education instead and they will join forces with illuminated, modern, loving and sensible Muslims.

A shallow appearance defied senses, rather than other volatile combustions. As I sliced through the unfolding of it, any grip took me from the passive reality. From my madeleine. A number of my friends has recently been given unexpected love declarations.

this is a story of today's generation and a kids mind due to continual change in life

This title aims to juxtapose the ancient epic's themes of dharma (righteousness) and conflict with the backdrop of today's bustling metropolitan cities and the digital era that India is embracing. The word "Metro" signifies the urban setting, while "Bharata" retains the essence of the original epic. The subtitle "Echoes of Dharma in Digital India" emphasizes the continuation of ancient values and principles in the fast-paced, tech-driven world of today.

The world is in destruction. The time will come, stars, meteoroids, and asteroids will fall here in earth. Stars are going to explode or they will going to supernova, then black hole will be created. The rotation of the Earth in it's orbit will move rapidly. As time pass by, it gets faster and faster, till it disappears in just a single wink of an eye. Earthquake will truly occur. Volcanoes will errupt at the same time. Big tsunamis, as high as mountains will wash up all mankind. Lava that came from the volcanoes and water from tsunamis will collide. All living organisms will die, even the smallest or even the strongest animal in the world. World will definitely change, we musn't wait for that time. So the National Science and Astronomy Organization (NSAO) had decided to stop that time to protect the world. They have thought to pick geniuses in each continent. Using their brain's and with their help they can create a machine that is capable to stop this destruction. Children with the same IQ but have different abilities. Solarista Systemma, from Africa. Moontaria Celesti, from Europe. Skyrie Rombus, from Antarctica. Sunnyrie Raisin, from North America. Eartheanne Luscious, from Australia. Hellam Blaise, from South America and Heavennian Prowess, from Asia. These seven children have one task, and that is to create a high tech machine to protect the world from destruction. These children had teamed up and created a team called, 'Universal Psycho'.

Author's Note: This poem was a part of a collection that I wrote in middle school. It was actually in the same collection as the poem, Pathway of Time. I forgot what type of poem it is because it is not free verse and the wrapping of the lines is intentional. As I read it now, I am struck by all of the dichotomies: fire can be both a destructive and creative force, nature vs modernity and the ways in which humanity is a part of that, chaos and order, and real and supernatural (with the talk of fairies near the end). It is a sort of an "everything and nothing" poem. It has a prose structure, but it is broken up in the middle of the sentences. As you read the poem, think about the dichotomies in yourself and your own life. How are you walking in the forest?

Our Modern world is excruciatingly flawed. This collection of short essays shares a 16-year-old's views on diverse aspects of Modernity, including social media's perverse effect on the self, the importance of nature, the alarming state of public education, or even death. First, you will find yourself confronted with critical revelations, thought-provoking ideas, and acute observations. Then, you will be inspired to develop your own intimate antidote to the many modernity-induced maladies we all suffer from, such as a sense of paralysing emptiness, the cynicism that stems from a deliberate exposure to overwhelming quantities of information, and the frustration of living in monochromatic megalopolises. But, ultimately, it is the "how" that you will remember, for this piece outlines some of the ways in which we can all, as contributors to, and members of, our present-day society, help build a world that favours living full and fulfilling lives whilst transcending the petty and all-too-human things that make up our existences.

Muciongai is a village in Meru, Kenya which has had unique behavior attributed from natural and man made occurrences. Everything seemed to be working well in the long history of the village, until human greed and influence from the outside world penetrated the village and caused a catastrophe of climate devastation. The story highlights the competing interests between generations and the wide diversity of values that see the conquering of traditional values by notions of modernity to the detriment of the village. Reading this book connects many themes together and invites the reader to many imaginations of situations in the book and knowledge on the failures of human nature to coexist, respect and work with nature to his survival advantage.

Alice lost her sight at the age of thirteen. She loves the ocean and the creatures that inhabit the water, but she's only been able to see them once, and the image she captured in her memory haunts her thoughts, resurfacing every time she's near a body of water. #PlanetOrPlastic

As I read through these notes I left behind, I never knew the last moment we were together were never captured. Thus, the threads of fate were finally weaved, as the stoic world nonchalantly severs both men and women, children and adults, the living and the dead. Stand still, and watch it all withered away.

Another pretentious poem that may actually have some meaning if you look hard enough (but not too hard).

When a chance encounter leads to an unforgettable night, Meera and Surya believe they've left it all behind-until fate throws them together in a high-stakes class project. Between clashing ideas, unresolved misunderstandings, and an impromptu road trip, their journey becomes more than just a study of tradition and modernity. As they navigate their tangled history, personal struggles, and the spaces in between, what begins as an uneasy collaboration turns into a poignant exploration of self-discovery, hidden truths, and the fragile threads that connect them.
