A Story of Change A mid-sized tech company in New Delhi was in trouble at a busy corporate headquarters. A big project was going off track because of bad planning and a lack of strong leadership. Deadlines were getting pushed back, and the team's spirits were at an all-time low. Colonel Rajesh Sharma, a retired Indian Army officer who was recently engaged as a project director, is the new leader in charge. He reorganized the team, made communication easier, and set up a clear chain of command. He did all of this with a calm manner and a strategic mind. The project was back on schedule within a few weeks, and the team was doing well under his direction.

r/WritingPrompt The movie was intended to be serious, but...watching the dramatization of your old superhero life, laughing it up with the very same villain rival depicted in the movie, both of you can't help but scoff at the director's choices.

A man who was once the most powerful figure in the world walked away from all of it - no announcement, no explanation - and built a quiet life in a small village. A beautiful wife. Two sharp daughters. A chair by the hearth. For years, nobody found him, and he preferred it that way. Now the world is fracturing at the seams, the student he left behind is destroying cities out of grief, and the Supreme Knight - the most powerful active figure alive - has shown up at his door saying please. He said no. He meant it. Probably. Meanwhile his daughters, armed with nothing but sharp minds and too much curiosity, have started pulling at threads. Their father has no relatives. No history. No past that anyone will speak of plainly. Every answer they find leads to three more questions - and every question leads somewhere their father would very much prefer they didn't go. He retired from the world. The world, apparently, did not get the message. Neither did his children.

Credit to @vienna392 for the cover I have over 50 schleich horses, and around 100 models overall. I'll do amater photography here, with a range of scenery as well. The first few chapters are boring scenery, just remember that it gets better and when this is finished I will probably re-take some pictures. I love comments even more than votes, but if you think it's vote-worthy I'm not complaining (votes are good too, just remember)! If anything I wrote is incorrect, know that it's hard for me to research this so sometimes I will make mistakes. If you don't like a photo, chances are neither do I so just say: "EWWW I hate this it's not AwEsOmE!" and be reassured that I will probably re-take (repeating stuff now, I know) but it may take a while.

Post Hiatus part 2 after the credits roll Jenny gets her own goodbye from Jethro when she's at home alone which leads to a flashback of another goodbye they had while undercover in Paris.
