Modernity Stories

It was a nice but small and remote village, situated just below the feet of the great Himalaya, untouched and spoilt by both vices and virtues of outside modern world, and the village itself was self-reliant and autarky with a very closely knitted community. It has its own set of rules, cultures and traditions; descendents from two main founding fathers lived together on each side of the river; and they did survive entirely on their own self-harnessed skills, well-thought-out rules and sheer ingenuity with a bit of luck. It did actually flourish by its own for more than hundred years without any helps or interventions from the outside and that itself was a miracle in its own merit. JJ was a naïve, self-centered and a spoilt son of the village chief, his family had been ruling the village for the last four generations and he was destined to be the next village chief after his father. Despite the seriousness and importance of his future role, the last thing he had in mind was to worry about his future responsibility, and somehow ended up wasting his entire youth by doing nothing good or useful at all. Baadal was a kind, disciplined and a very beautiful young woman; she was the only daughter of the first family from the other side of the river, and was married to JJ as prearranged when they reached adulthood. She was also a strong, intelligent and a very responsible person; she always did her best to fulfill her duties; and no matter what life had thrown at her, she took it on the chin and tried to carry on living with dignity.

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.

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.

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?

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.

A woman stuck in a marriage she can't stand snaps when filling the dishwasher one evening and decides to track down the man who designed it.

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.

this the story of a boy who had undergone many changes due to sudden changes in life.. and an innocent soul being in depression...

This is a slam poem I am writing for a class. If you would read and comment about something I should add (because this should be more than two minutes long and I'm about 20 seconds short hehe) that would be great. Thanks so much :) All rights reserved, please be original with things you write :)

In the heart of Rajasthan, where royal legacy meets modern ambition, Abhimanyu Rajwanshi and Siya Rathore are about to embark on a journey neither expected. Forced into an arranged marriage for the sake of their families, they carry the weight of heritage on their shoulders. Unbeknownst to them, their shared past holds the key to unlocking a love that was lost but not forgotten. As they navigate the pressures of royal life, family expectations, and their own internal struggles, dark secrets begin to emerge, threatening not just their bond but the foundations of the powerful Rajwanshi and Rathore dynasties. Abhimanyu Rajwanshi and Siya Rathore, two heirs to Rajasthan's most prestigious royal families, are bound together in a seemingly perfect arranged marriage. Yet, beneath the surface of tradition, hidden secrets and long-lost love threaten to unravel their worlds. Forced into a union neither fully understands, they must navigate the intricacies of family loyalty, societal expectations, and the shadows of their past. Little do they know, their destinies were intertwined long before they even met. As they inch closer to unveiling the truth, love blossoms amidst mystery, danger, and the allure of royal power. But will they discover the true bond that ties them together, or will the past pull them apart forever?

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

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.
