Deep within myself I know I’m a warrior, a strong woman worth saving.
In my heart, I’ve believed like a religious person that I’m strong and brave.
I know how resilient I can be.
I know how many battles I’ve fought and won with my head held high. Continue Reading
They dress generation Z in the clothes of ‘Future Leaders,’
But teach them to be perpetual followers.
Their ways are one and second to none. Continue Reading
I would have loved to watch and listen to educational conversations around the Referendum options, but all the discussions have been smeared with political sentiments. Hence, I will just tell you why I what I think of each proposed amendment to the Constitution of the country we all claim to love:
