Muḥarram is the first month of the Islamic calendar. It is one of the four sacred months of the year when warfare is forbidden. It is held to be the second holiest month after Ramadan.
The tenth day of Muharram is known as Ashura. Better known as part of the Mourning of Muharram, Shi’i Muslims mourn the tragedy of Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī’s family, and Sunni Muslims practice fasting on Ashura.
Muslims mourn the martyrdom of Ḥusayn and his family, honoring the martyrs by prayer and abstinence from joyous events. Shiʿi Muslims eat as little as possible on the Ashura; however, this is not seen as fasting. Alevis fast twelve days, each day for one of the Twelve Imams of Shiʿa Islam, to commemorate and mourn the Imams, as if a very close relative has passed away. Some (excluding children, elderly or sick) don’t eat or drink until zawal (afternoon) as…

Wake up and go,
do what you do,
laugh like a fool,
try to play cool.
Go through the day,
no time to play,
emotions sway,
in disarray.
Hold a brave face,
keep it in place,
another chase,
an unknown race.
Good afternoon,
never too soon,
horrible swoon,
howl at the moon.
Another night,
turn off the light,
thoughts hold too tight,
slumber picks fight.Wake up and go,
love what you do,
a happy fool,
naturally cool.
Go through this day,
make time to play,
emotions sway,
enjoy sun rays.
Bright smiling face,
that stays in place,
no need to chase,
effortless race.
Good afternoon,
time flies too soon,
internal swoon,
hello full moon.
A better night,
peaceful and light,
hold pillow tight,
slumber wins fight.[…]

My grandpa dissuaded us from getting on these rickshaws, as it felt cruel to have a human pull your weight. By refraining, we deprived the rickshaw-puller of his income. But there is no end to certain ethical dilemmas.
Then, came the cycle-rickshaw which was also a novelty for us. We had none of those in the metropolitan city of Bombay where we lived.
I often wondered why the seat is tilted forward, making it difficult to maintain balance. Probably, it made the cycle-rickshaw driver’s task easy.
Can we tilt the seats forward, whenever we impose our burden on less-privileged beings?

The first aid training program aims to train people and equip them with hands-on skills to save a life. So that they become skilled first-responders when there is an emergency; not remain mere onlookers.
Studies reveal that Bystanders can be of great help during medical emergencies especially CARDIAC ARREST. It is a life-threatening event when every second matters.
Just by giving basic aid like CPR, the chance of revival can be increased by threefold.
Hence, it is crucial to train people about the BASIC FIRST AID, CPR and use of AED. This workforce can save the lives of people in malls, offices, hotels, streets, theaters, schools, colleges and every place that can’t be imagined.
The term “Service to mankind is service to God” means that selfless service for the cause of humanity is as important as worshiping God. Love of mankind is, in Vivekananda’s opinion, the worship of God. This is the gist of all worship is to be pure and to do well to others.

World Emoji Day is an annual unofficial holiday occurring on 17 July, intended to celebrate emoji; in the years since the earliest observance, it has become a popular date to make product or other announcements and releases relating to emoji.
World Emoji Day is “the brainchild of Jeremy Burge” according to CNBC which stated that the “London-based founder of Emojipedia created it” in 2014.
The New York Times reported that Burge created this on 17 July “based on the way the calendar emoji is shown on iPhones”. For the first World Emoji Day, Burge told The Independent “there were no formal plans put in place” other than choosing the date. The Washington Post suggested in 2018 that readers use this day to “communicate with only emoji”.
NBC reported that the day was Twitter’s top trending item on 17 July in 2015. In 2016, Google changed the appearance of Unicode character…

behold those with their irenic nature
with a softness about them
affecting the generations to come
our home needs saved
by people who are the treasures
undoing the damage of beasts
they hold the harshness at bay
soothing the cries of man’s doing
demanding right over wrong
they are the teachers of love
gifting kindness and healing wounds
making us whole again
I hope to help more people be aware of domestic violence and how the effects of it can persist for many years. The first post on this topic:

Rumi, a famous Persian philosopher from the 13th century, once aptly penned: “The wound is where the light enters you.” I wonder what kind of pain he experienced to understand wounds and healing so well.
I loved the man I married. From the observations of others and from my own early experiences (7 years of dating him) I know he loved me. But his health and emotional unrest caused him to go where I could not help him.
The truth is: I was a victim of emotional, mental, physical, and domestic abuse/violence. Even writing it makes me cringe. I do not like to admit that I was a victim because “victim” sounds…
