Modernity Stories

I used to move through things without really stopping. Days came and went, and I let them. It was easier that way. Nothing asked too much of me, and I didn't ask much back. If something slipped away, I told myself it was fine. Most things are. Somewhere along the way, though, I started noticing how quiet moments linger longer than they should. How certain thoughts don't disappear just because you ignore them. How even small things leave behind a shape when they're gone. I don't think I changed all at once. I'm still much the same. But, it was more like slowing down without meaning to. Letting my eyes rest on things for an extra second. Feeling something soften, just a little, before moving on. And I just wonder, when something small disappears from your days, do you feel it leave?

Las señales son obvias. Las advertencias son muchas. Pero él no se da cuenta.

In the heart of the city, Silken Whispers remained a beacon of dreams, where every bride found not just a dress, but the embodiment of her unique love story-a story whispered in silk, adorned with love, and bound by the threads of tradition.

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.

Witnessing How the Western Civilisation Comes to Its End

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.

On the night she turns sixteen, Anya Teakwood-an Omega who can quiet storms by breathing softer-feels the Moon look back. In one breath her skin remembers winter, her eyes bloom emerald, and the goddess Isolde rises inside her like tide. New Vassaria is a modern kingdom where crowns are worn in boardrooms and wars are waged with ledgers. Six years ago, an "accident" remade the line of succession. Since then, Regent Mara Vass has ruled with immaculate control; Silas Grimm, Alpha of the Nightward, hunts power in shadow; and heir Kade Vass has been forged into a weapon polite enough to pass in daylight. The night Kade follows a storm to Anya's porch, the mate bond strikes like soldered lightning-and the old vow that keeps the city in balance wakes hungry. With a beta bodyguard who is steadier than myth (Rowan) and a witch‑archivist who turns memory into law (Priya), Anya steps into an under‑library that sings and a marketplace that can be made to pray. To expose a murder dressed as gravity and to restore a broken covenant, she must turn shareholder meetings into liturgy, teach cameras to witness, and choose between spectacle that burns and repair that lasts. Kade must choose love over dynasty's cruelty; Mara must choose counsel over control; and the city must learn to keep receipts out loud. Part supernatural romance, part corporate war, Isolde Becoming is a story of softness as discipline and power as stewardship-not possession. If you like fated‑mates chemistry with consent, goddesses in skyscrapers, and revolutions that start with a clerk's stamp, step into New Vassaria.

But in Canada, the child was taken by others - not by war, but by those who call themselves fighters for "new morality."

Not as a refugee. But as a force. As a Witch. From pain - a curse was born. From loss - justice. From ashes - vengeance. And everyone who touched her child, Everyone who silently watched, Everyone who shouted about tolerance without hearing the pain - will feel her word. Her fire. Her tear. For a mother's revenge is the most terrible.

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.
