Did You Ever Love Me? Book Review: Can Rithvik singh turn heartbreak into a homecoming?

Did You Ever Love Me? by Rithvik Singh is a tender contemporary poetry collection about love, heartbreak, longing, self worth and learning to let go. Its greatest strength is emotional accessibility: Singh writes directly to readers who feel intensely and care deeply. The collection offers comfort without pretending heartbreak is simple, though its simplicity may occasionally feel familiar to seasoned poetry readers. Did you Ever Love Me? Have you ever loved someone so completely that, after they left, you were left wondering whether they had ever understood what they had been given? Not merely whether they loved you, but whether they ever noticed how much you loved them, how much patience you offered, how many small things you remembered, or how often you chose to stay when leaving might have been easier. There is a particular loneliness in that question because it rarely arrives at a dramatic moment. More often, it finds you while you are doing something completely ordinary. Yo...

How to choose best girl child name for your daughter?



 The newborn baby girl must be given unique girl child name to distinguish her from others. It is true that there is great deal of excitement amongst family members, aunts-uncles, friends, grandparents and well-wishers who all sit together and argue and agree upon different girl child name to give best name to their newborn family member.
It is true that we stumble upon as many names as there are stars in sky while searching for best girl child name. The girl’s child name depends upon family likings, trends of that present scenario and societal compulsions. Globalization has brought great mixing of cultures and thus orthodox society has now become liberal and accepting names from various corners of globe. Now-a-days, we can see names crossing boundaries of nations and making their home in unusual places.
So if you are also looking some unique girl child name? Here is a list. Write them down on slips of paper and jumble it up in jar and finally take your pick. There are names like pearl, Julia, Jordan, Sabrina, Emily, Sarah, Diamond, Nicole, Samantha, Amber, Jade, Jenna, Rebecca, Maria. If you are from India, you can choose names like Aashna, Ambar, Nikunj, Riya, Mannat, Naina, Aishwarya, Riddhi, Siya etc.  If the preference is for rivers, then you can name her Indu after the mighty Indus or Kaveri, Narmada or Ganga. These rivers belong to planet earth and are not the monopoly of any one nation.
Shakespeare laughs at the idea of giving unique baby girl’s name. According to him, “no matter what name you call a rose- a rose is a rose and will smell as sweet.”
But it is also true that by giving unique name to your baby, you hope to inculcate certain values in your baby which name carries- the value that will adhere to the person till its last breath.

Satyameva Jayate - Free speech

More than 40 people have died in the riots that have followed the killing of Swami Lakshmanananda in Kandhamal in Orissa. 5 people were killed and 47 injured in Mumbai when Jerry Falwell made some comments saying that the Prophet of Islam was a violent man and a terrorist. 12 people had died in Mumbai in anti-rushdie riots. There are more instances I can point out, but these stand out because of the scale and because of how related India is to last two people. Mr. Falwell runs a Christian ministry in US and Salman Rushdie, although ethically an Indian, had migrated to Pakistan and was a citizen of UK at that time. Of all riots that took place all over the world following the statement by Jerry Falwell and against Salman Rushdie, India was the only place with causalities. Orissa has been a hotbed of communal tensions between Hindus and Christians for a while now. India is the largest democracy which is more than 60 years old. Why then are we so undemocratic in our conduct? I will not sa...
