Being the difference I want to see in the world.
As sad as it may be, we live in a world where the rich are getting richer, and the poor live in worse conditions every day.

Shanvi - A strange obsession
This is the story of two completely different personalities:- One is a girl who shoulders immense responsibilities, placing her family's needs above everything else. For her, fulfilling their expectations is her utmost priority. She is serious, focused, and a complete bookworm, immersing herself in stories and literature to escape the harsh realities of life. Love, for her is something that exists only within the pages of books and tales. In real life, she has neither hope for it nor the luxury of wasting time chasing such fleeting emotions. Her world revolves around discipline, practicality and duty, leaving little room for the whims of the heart. But sometimes, life has a way of surprising even the most guarded souls. The other is a man whose life revolves around a single obsession-his business. It's the only thing he takes seriously, the sole focus of his disciplined mind. Beyond that, he is the quintessential playboy, a master at winning over women's hearts only to discord them just as easily. To him, love is a laughable notion, an overrated mythic he has no patience for. His cynicism stems from never having witnessed genuine love in his life. For him, relationships are fleeting and superficial, a distraction at best, and nothing more than a game. Two lives, two extreme - one grounded in duty and dreams the other lost in indulgence and denial - both unaware that life has its own plans, ready to challenge everything they believe. Shanvi Verma X Darshit Oberoi "A story where he crosses every boundary to claim his obsession, his love"

Darkness & Light: The Philosophical Path of an Eclectic Pagan
There is no telling exactly how life will unfold as it will. My journey seems as if it has just begun, but I understand that my journey has already taken many of years for it to unfold as it has to this point. This is only a start to a new path for me to travel. It does not render all previous paths useless, but rather, it only closes the book on one in order to open and unveil a new one in return. It is yet a continuation of a previous story, but the beginning and end of a story in of itself. It only yields itself to the true nature of the story, which is the waving in and out of all stories intertwined with each other with each passing moment. I shall reveal the stories that are hidden and guide the reader to understand the intricate stories revealed in my lifetime, at least one in particular that I find particularly intriguing. It is a story that I have searched for all of my life, and it is a story that is only beginning to take shape. I leave this note in peace. - JonComplete
