Navigating the Storm: The Timeless Debate on India's Uniform Civil Code
William Carlos famously said, "Time is a storm in which we are all lost." This quote fits with the timing and situation with which the Uniform Civil Code has been brought up into the limelight. It seemed an impetuous and nimble idea to prompt a heated discussion about UCC. The tenor of various religious leaders and politicians changed when the "Law Commission of India" announced to enlighten itself with the advice of all people of India regarding UCC.

Justice or Discrimination
In the new year, the castigation of Indian laws vis-a-vis the laws that try to alleviate the circumstances by commiserating with women has increased. The enlightenment of this discrimination, as referred to by some people, is taking a fillip among the masses, especially in youth through socio-legal influencers such as Amish Aggarwala. There is nothing wrong with it but reverberating the same point makes the whole idea of amending the laws for better equality defunct as the people prima facie abominate the whole apparatus of the judicial system with a knee-jerk reaction. And this surely creaks the people’s trust in our independent judiciary which has made many precedents of ensuring equality.

Two Female Coming-of-Agers
If you've ever so much as glanced over my writing on Vocal, you'll agree there's quite a good deal of coming-of-age in there. However, you'll probably also agree it seems to be written exclusively from a male perspective. The following plea for feedback was prompted by my friend Staringale, who read and gave me some very kind comments on one of the few exceptions to the above rule. This in turn started me thinking about the general absence of female coming-of-age tales within my body of work.

Happy New Year!!!!
It is hard to believe that another year is coming to an end and new one is beginning. It just seems that 2023 just started and now 2024 is starting. What does a new year mean to you? It is a chance to make a new you or a chance to show others who you are.

Stephen Seagull is Bad
'Stephen Seagull is Bad' is a children's picture book written by Dawn Lippiatt. Stephen Seagull teaches what is good and bad. Dawn Lippiatt has written this book about a seagull named Stephen to live up to what his father seems to think how a seagull should behave. Stephen wants to make his father proud. Will he do it? Dawn has written a picture book that is quite descriptive in and on various behaviors exhibited by the main character of Stephen Seagull. The artwork seems to give me the impression of watercolors or even the use of pastels to give the readers the sense of a seaside environment and how seagulls live and act around others. The use of boldface words for emphasizing various words was a good technical device for young readers to understand the story. It could also be a good story to share about various cultures just by seeing some of the human characters and how they look.
