“No matter what are you looking for, you can find in on…Youtube!” I believe that a somewhat close quote was a part of EBay’s ad campaign; however, an underlying message can be applied to “You tube” as well. The other day while searching for something totally unrelated, I stumbled on a music clip by “Low”, [...]

Each night I began the story again as I had for my entire first year of living in the building called Sundeep, in the neighborhood called Sunnyside, borough called queens, city called New York, country called America.
I was in the America that my childhood friends watched about on television, in between the brownouts, daytime [...]

Quiet honestly, I like “What If…” discussions. A week ago, I was talking with friend of mine about an impact of Allied Forces on the outcome of the WWII. Inevitably for such topic, we came to “What if” scenarios with one major question: What if the United States did not enter the WWII?

Two semesters ago, while browsing through books in a local college bookstore, I stumbled upon a thick book with black cover: “Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001”. I reluctantly reached for it: “Damn it, 720 pages! And two weeks later, [...]
