Ethnic identity probably is needed to provide a sense of belonging, self esteem, pride and oneness but in a so called “secular” union like ours, there isn’t a dearth of people with a vicious mind to use the same oneness to cultivate animosity and factionalism.

She clenched her fists and screamed her lungs out as she was lifted and held in mid-air. Then someone crooned in her ears and she wailed even louder and eventually fell asleep.
And that is how she spent the first day of her life!
Unlike his wife, he had just started maneuvering into the world of internet. Few unintentional clicks and that is how he ended up checking his wife’s inbox . He clenched his fists as he read an unread email addressed to his wife from ‘cooldude17’ who had poured his heart in the mail.

- For the first time, the entire dish I cooked had to be thrown away without even a morsel being consumed. Not that I’m a great cook, but I’m not that bad either. Milestone, indeed. More on it later, hopefully.
