  Dungeons of Doom Waking up to a nightmare, I feel myself breathing. My bare chest feels so cold, Something inside is beating. My eyes witness the horror, as The last pinch of hope dies. The signs of sheer mortality, The Devil, it clearly implies. My hands try to grapple for The remaining rays of light. All I can catch are cold sparks, Too feeble for the night. The path is paved with pebbles, All grey, black and white. I glance at the horizon, The doom laughs at twilight. I prepare myself for sacrifice, So the Devil may have my all. But lo, the tables turn again, Yet once, I witness my fall. A final sprint of desperation, Only to meet death at the shore. The abyss swallows me again, Even more profound than it was before.

 A Hope Built Out From a Logo Narendra Modi, the prime minister, just announced the website, theme, and logo for India's G20 presidency. India's national flag colours served as the inspiration for the G20 logo's colour scheme. The lotus, India's national flower, and the planet Earth are placed side by side. Below the G20 logo is the word "Bharat" written in the Devanagari script. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, which translates to "One Earth, One Family, One Future," is the motto of India's G20 presidency and was inspired by Maha Upanishad. Vasudha (Earth), Iva (Is), and Kutumbakam are mentioned (family). One of the Upanishad's shlokas, Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, states that only the narrow-minded may claim, "This individual is mine, and this one is not." For those who behave honourably, the universe is one big family (those who realise the Supreme Truth). The logo and theme create a compelling narrative for India's G20 Presidency, which aim...

 Was there a connivance in Imran's case? An attempt to murder the life of a former cricket player who became a politician would be like lighting a match close to Pakistan's tinderbox. An incident of intentional political violence at a public demonstration would undoubtedly worsen the situation in the aftermath of Imran Khan's removal as prime minister last April by a medley of opposing forces, including political rivals of the Sharif-Bhutto clans. Imran, who is already viewed as a hero for being a victim of the military's intrusive involvement in Pakistani politics, is sure to earn further support as nationwide rallies that started with the goal of forcing early elections to gather traction. Though he was avowedly their favourite throughout his rise to the position of prime minister, opportunistic politicians who may have capitalized on Imran's falling out with the Army are now sure to face the strain. There will be many conspiracy theories surrounding the incident ...

NETWORK (1976) Network, a caustic multiple Oscar contender, is frequently cited as the film that foresaw the rise of "junk TV." Despite being promoted as satire, it wasn't a laugh-out-loud spoof like Scary Movie but a severe and mature broadside that aimed to shock and upset instead. Given the 21st-century tube landscape of voyeuristic Reality programs, sleazy music-video channels, surprising news, and circus-freak daytime conversation, some of its specifics aren't even that far-fetched nowadays. Children who watch The Jerry Springer Show when they get home from school might be perplexed by all the excitement. But Network, written by one of the greatest screenwriters of early TV drama, Paddy Chayefsky, boils with righteous rage and features particularly derogatory language. By the middle of the 1970s, he was dissatisfied with what he was witnessing, and the story is set in the post-Watergate era of the darkest cynicism, domestic terrorism, horrors committed in other c...
