Family-themed art is a look into one's living room; it depicts celebration, crises, and the quiet moments of familial interactions.

What Fathers Uniquely Provide
The Error of Treating Parenting Roles as Functionally Identical Modern parenting theory often begins with the assumption that mothers and fathers are largely interchangeable, differing only in style or temperament. From this view, any deficits in one parent can be compensated for by the other through increased emotional effort, sensitivity, or presence. Parenting becomes a question of intention and quantity rather than function and role. This assumption is appealing because it aligns with cultural preferences for symmetry and fairness, but it collapses under closer examination of developmental outcomes.

The Sunday Tradition
Every Sunday, the Thompson family had a tradition. No matter how busy the week had been, they always gathered in the kitchen at noon. Mrs. Thompson cooked her famous roast chicken, while Mr. Thompson set the table, and the children, Emma and Jack, helped with small tasks like peeling vegetables or pouring water. It was a simple routine, but it meant everything to them.

Happiness
In the northern region of India, there was a beautiful and clean village called Tara Pur. This was at a time when the sun’s rising and setting painted the sky in golden hues, the sweet song of the koel bird filled the air, the cooing of pigeons and chirping of sparrows created a lively symphony, and women would carry pots to fetch water from the well. Farmers worked diligently in their fields, and everywhere, lush greenery stretched as far as the eye could see, making it appear as if someone had laid out a green carpet across the village. These simple, natural sights delighted the hearts of the villagers.

Reward
When I entered the house, I saw my wife sitting and crying. “What happened?” I asked. “Today, at his wife’s insistence, he beat the old woman again—so badly…” she broke down into sobs.

The Light That Remembered Us. AI-Generated.
The cold in Chicago didn't just bite; it owned the streets. It was the kind of February wind that whistled through the gaps in the window frames of the high-rise, a constant, low-frequency reminder that the world outside was indifferent to human comfort. Inside Apartment 42B, the air was different. It was clean, filtered, and smelled faintly of the expensive lemon-scented disinfectant used by the cleaning crew that came every Thursday. It was a home, theoretically, but to Clara, it often felt like a gallery where she was one of the exhibits.

Growing up, going to Kabondo was not just an Ordinary trip it was a Special Treat. It was a time to reconnect with my cousins while My Mother bonded with her Siblings. The journey was always kept a secret till the very last minute and every once in awhile I would accompany My Mother Home to Kabondo. She had a way of sneaking in and leaving without telling me. And each time she returned, I would throw a tantrum and refuse to eat as pay back for not being invited on the trip to Kabondo. You see My Mother’s hometown held a special place in Our Lives yet she never spent the night there whenever she visited. Her trips were conducted early mornings and she would returned by evening the same day. I seldom wondered why she didn’t like staying overnight. Maybe she explained it, but it never sinked in until now. Once you lose your parents, going Home nolonger feels the same. To me Kabondo was Heaven yet for My Mother it was Bitter sweet. Each time she left me behind I would cry and plead to go on the next trip but the answer was always No. The few times I was able to go she would conduct a prep-talk a day before the trip. No we cannot spend the night, no you cannot stay behind and no don’t ask your uncles to ask me. Be on your best behavior when we arrive and if you go play outside, stay within close range. And that was the order nothings for many of the trips to Kabondo. No one ever pleaded with her for us to stay longer. Maybe it was her strict demeanor that scared everyone, or maybe they tried and gave up. Either way, the Trips to Kabondo were always short lived. All the uncles, cousins, extended relatives would always meet and gather at Uncle Wilson’s house each time we visited. I sometimes wondered where the rest of them lived, but dared to never ask. Remember I was summoned to be on my best behavior while in Kabondo, and if I disobeyed I would be dispelled from visiting again. I knew not to ask questions in order to continue accompanying Mommy on her trips.

TBK: Building Places Where Stories Begin
In a city that never truly stops moving, where ambition pulses through every avenue and possibility hums beneath the surface, TBK was never meant to be just another real estate development company. From the very beginning, TBK was a promise—a promise that buildings could do more than rise, that neighborhoods could do more than function, and that real estate could feel deeply human.
