What is truth
The Nature of Truth: Is Reality What We Think It Is? What is truth? At first glance, the answer seems obvious—truth is what is real, what is factual, what is undeniable. But as history, philosophy, and even science have shown us, truth is not always so simple. It can be elusive, subjective, and even manipulated.

Aren't Women More Than Just Wives in Punjabi Stories?
When Punjab is remembered, either pictures of gigantic, hulking men willing to fight for their motherland or the popular love stories come to our imagination. Punjabi literature can submerge both extremes of love and war it most delicately. While the literature of the wars is resistance against invaders or powers, love is also highly militant.

A Night of Unforeseen Passions in a Remote Cabin
In the dim glow of a holiday cabin, you awaken to a scene that feels like a dream plucked from the pages of a steamy novel. The candles that once lit the room have dwindled, casting long shadows across the wooden walls. Beside you, the bed creaks as I shift, perched at its edge, peering into the darkness beyond a lattice screen that separates our space from another.

Chapter VII: The Ontology of Silence
From every corner of experience quiet, in its variations, is the sound of existence itself, the sound of absence. Silence has varied qualities. Think about the silence of dawn in the woods where the light of day pierces the top of the trees each moment like God holding its breath a split second longer; unmistakably old silence vibrating with memories of a forming world. Or, consider the silence of the city at sleep, thick with human noise, its asphalt heating up from the day's activity, not yet dissipated, a whole inhabited unconscious simmering like neurons firing in synchronization. Or, think about the silence before storm, a stretch, poised like a bow-and-arrow, the sound of silence true, always an inevitability; and, then there is the silence after-storm the world emerged as if it was hollowed out from a gutting, shaken pure everything is deemed newborn

Busting the Biological Clock Myth: Empowering Women’s Choices
The most well-thought-out advice provided to women of this generation seems to be, "Have a baby when you are ready to raise one." But nobody discusses how to get there. One has to prepare for pregnancy only when one is ready financially, emotionally, and physically, as feminist discourses remind us. But due to your "ticking biological clock," this has to be done in a hurry. There was always pressure on women to bear children.
