Historical
Night At The Thakur Dalan
The sights and sounds surrounding your sensory nerves as you traverse into a Durga Pujo* mandap* can easily flabbergast you. So many things that go on simultaneously, and as you make your way through the happy cacophony, the cheerful hullabaloo of people, their smiles, the thread of energy that each one of them possesses at that very moment, and manages to share the same with everyone who visits Maa Durga*, is beyond anything that you'll ever feel. You'll slowly and slowly give in to the divine feeling, your brain, and your heart shall seep in everything, every single detail around and you'll enter a zone of your own, a meditative, a zen feeling, where everything else doesn't matter for some moments, it's only you, and the goddess, as you bow your heads in prayer, for a minuscule second or more, the overpowering sounds seem to fade, fade into the distant horizon, and it's only your soul, in front of the goddess, and the chants of prayer that you utter, eyes closed, pin drop silence, you feel there's a certain wave of cosmic and divine energy playing around you, your human senses aren't able to fathom what it is, where it is coming from, where shall it go after some time, nothing. You just keep praying, and after a moment, the sounds slowly return back, and things are normal.

Backwoods Healing
George stood beside the line of stones as the moon glowed overhead. The dirt road through the cemetery was partially illuminated and the men gathered each had lanterns before them. The doctor’s assistant held a torch, his face grim as he stared at the earth where the grass would not grow.

Controlling your tongue
Controlling your tongue: When asked what the most difficult thing about being a human is, Aristotle responded with 'managing one's tongue.' Most people have a difficult time describing what they mean by that. They know that speaking is difficult, but they don't know how to control their words. Nobody ever mastered managing his or her tongue- except… gods and kings. No regular person has to master the art of self-restraint. Instead, we learn how to use our tongues to express ourselves in appropriate ways.

why health is so important for humans
Why health is so important for humans Health Life: The two are connected. If we are sick, we feel terrible, we have limited mobility, and our cognitive function declines. However, if we are feeling good, we are able to move around easily, our cognitive abilities increase, and we become healthier. Our bodies begin functioning at their best capacity. Health is the foundation of success; without health, nothing else matters.

Encounter
People flick through the day's papers in the morning, either to escape the pestering of onlookers or to find something to talk about during the day. So, not surprisingly, no one remembers now - not even in their dreams - the incident that once got people talking about Uriarte and Duncan. We've experienced and forgotten a lot since that year. Both legends are now dead, and the bystanders who witnessed the events have sworn to keep their mouths shut. I, too, raised my hand and swore not to mention a single detail of the incident for nine to ten years. But word got out, and the more it spread, the worse it got.
