Written Traces

  For millions of years, Jews have been discriminated against, for their religion and ethnicity. (It was a Jew who betrayed Jesus Christ and it was the Jews who crucified Him) During the World Wars, their predicament reached its peak, especially with the Nazi holocaust of Jews in WWII. The Balfour Declaration  In 1917, during WWI, the Allies member UK, promised the Jews who were stranded all over the world, a National Home of their own in Palestine, if they fought for the Allies. Palestine was then occupied by the Arabs as it came under the Ottoman Empire. This promise came to be known as "The Balfour Declaration".  The Allies came victorious in WWI and the Ottoman Empire collapsed.  After that Palestine came under the control of the UK and the UK started migrating the Jews all over the world into Palestine as promised in The Balfour Declaration.  This didn't go well with the Arabs in Palestine along with all the Arab Countries surrounding Palestine.  Durin...

It was about to get 9.30 AM and I had all woken up, waiting for my mother to come and brush my teeth. After the brush, she would have my robe changed, feed me my meal, and get ready for school. She always kept my daily routine as her last chore before she could finally set off for her service as a schoolteacher. As I was lying down waiting for her to come, I could not help but think about the whole 10 AM situation and how different it used to be three years earlier. There was a time when me and my mother would both get ourselves ready for school. She would drop me at my preschool on her way. That was the time when she would not have to do my daily chores for me.

As a result, I was left bedridden at the tender age of seven.  I think about it all the time. The 10 AM situation. It used to be my favorite part of the day because this...

For the past few weeks, I have been reading incessantly. And the thing that got me hooked was spooky short stories.  I have engrossed myself so deeply in those stories that spooky dreams have haunted me too. However, these stories and consequent happenings have intrigued me with one thing.  And that is whether I could write a spooky story myself or not. So with that uncertainty in mind, I have tried my imagination to write about a strange event that happened in the life of David Coquette. So without further ado, my dear readers I'll give you the story named  Flight No. AA2981 The fall break is about to get over and John has to go back to San Francisco where he lives with his mother. David isn't happy, because it is the only time of the year when he gets to spend time with his son after he and his wife Amanda got estranged.  However, Flight No. AA2981 of Aviation Airlines has already been booked for two. A day after, Amanda, John's mom, comes to pick John up. With a h...

When it comes to knowing about international Organizations, chances are there that you might fall into the dreadful G-hole. Don't get me wrong but there are so many G's of countries that I hardly remember the number much less remember the objective and functions of them.  This is one of the many conundrums I have in my life. So this why I thought of finally addressing this conundrum before they could form another group of countries for crying out loud.  So with this note let us begin with, G4 COUNTRIES Group of four countries Formed in 2005 The objective is to get a permanent membership in UN Security Council Countries include India, Japan, Brazil, and Germany G6 COUNTRIES Group of six industrially developed countries with the largest economies formed during the 70s Countries include USA, UK, Japan, France, Italy & Germany Met annually to discuss political and economic matters Canada joined the group in 1976 making it G7 countries or a group of seven countries In 1999 Rus...
