🌪️ “When the Rope-Pulled Fan Stopped — and the Winds of Slavery Ceased” 🌪️
🕰️ When the British Came, the Winds of Slavery Began to Blow When the British first set foot on the rich soil of the Indian subcontinent, they didn't just seize its land, gold, and governance. They took control of the very air that flowed in the royal courts and noble mansions of Delhi, Lucknow, Lahore, and Bombay. This is not a metaphor. It is a historical reality that strikes both the mind and the heart.

You stroll down to the corner soda shop, the bell jingles, and you ask the man behind the counter for two scoops of chocolate bliss. He stares back like you just confessed to tax fraud and says, “Kid… you trying to do time?”

Hekate: Guardian of the Threshold, Goddess of Shadows and Sorcery
In the flickering light of ancient torches, standing at the crossroads where choices are made and fates are sealed, Hekate waits. Neither wholly light nor dark, she is the Greek goddess of magic, the moon, necromancy, and transitions. Revered and feared in equal measure, Hekate is a guardian of liminal spaces—the in-between realms of dusk and dawn, life and death, body and spirit.

Inanna (Ishtar): Queen of Heaven and the Dark Divine
Long before the rise of Olympus or the thrones of Valhalla, there reigned a goddess of immense power and contradiction in the ancient cities of Sumer: Inanna, later known as Ishtar by the Akkadians and Babylonians.

The 8-Year-Long Traffic Jam That Stunned the World
In 2015, a traffic jam on the Beijing Highway completely choked a 50-lane road. Back in 1980, a traffic jam on the French Autoroute Highway stretched over 175 kilometers from Paris to Lyon, taking several days to clear.

OPERATION SINDOOR . Content Warning.
On the night of May 6-7, 2025, India launched Operation Sindoor, a meticulously planned military operation targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). This operation was a direct retaliation for the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam terrorist attack, where 26 civilians, including one Nepali national, were killed by the Pakistan-based terrorist group The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). The attack, marked by its deliberate targeting of Hindu men, was the deadliest civilian assault in India since the 2008 Mumbai attacks, prompting a swift and decisive response from the Indian government. Operation Sindoor not only showcased India’s military precision but also marked a significant evolution in its counter-terrorism doctrine, emphasizing preemptive and non-escalatory strikes against terrorist networks.
