Aren't Women More Than Just Wives in Punjabi Stories?
When Punjab is remembered, either pictures of gigantic, hulking men willing to fight for their motherland or the popular love stories come to our imagination. Punjabi literature can submerge both extremes of love and war it most delicately. While the literature of the wars is resistance against invaders or powers, love is also highly militant.

Word of the Day: 具合がよい
I am feeling so much better now compared to the past couple of days. I took a Tylenol PM and it seemed to straighten out everything for me. Working on the lesson plan seems sort of dismal since I didn't establish a goal or something to work on with my student, but I am sure he'll just appreciate the working in the book.

Word of the day: 病院
I am getting ready for my appointment today at 12pm for a procedure. I don't really want to mention what kind since it is kind of embarrassing but I am noticing that I am having a lot more energy than I did for the past couple of days.

What It's Like Having Dyscalculia
In elementary school, when we started learning our times tables is about when we started to notice that math was going to be an issue for me. I could not remember any of my times tables. I sat there and looked at the flashcards for HOURS, and still, I retained none of it. My parents were frustrated, it was the mid 1990s, and I was a girl with undiagnosed autism. There was NO WAY I was getting the help I needed then, because a lot wasn't known about dyscalculia, and it's an extremely rare thing. Dyslexia is far more common. Sometimes I wonder why I couldn't have just gotten a little dyslexia instead, you know? But I know people with that too, and I wouldn't want to struggle that way either. Anyway, one of the most horrifying and traumatic experiences I can tell you about me and math is that first hurdle I had to jump through, with times tables.

Stranger in the Moonlight
Chapter 1: The Encounter The small coastal town of Seabreeze had always been serene, a place where time seemed to stand still. The calming sounds of the waves crashing on the shore and the soft rustle of palm trees swayed by the gentle breeze created an atmosphere that was perfect for reflection and romance. It was here that Mark Thompson, a handsome yet troubled man in his thirties, found himself after a string of failed relationships and personal hardships that had left scars on his heart.

The Early Church in Jerusalem
Introduction: A Glimpse into the Past Dear reader, as we turn the pages of ecclesiastical history, we encounter the early church in Jerusalem, a community of believers whose way of life has sparked both admiration and debate throughout the centuries. Is this church the archetype that all future congregations should strive to emulate? Is it the dream church, a utopian vision of unity and devotion? Or is it simply a chapter in the grand narrative of Christianity, significant but not a template for all times?

Can Neoliberalism & Feminism Intertwine?
You may have seen neoliberal feminism at work in the business world if you hadn't previously. You've heard, maybe, something about "defeating stereotypes" or "feminine leadership" being strategies for making women achieve their "unfulfilled potential." Women need to empower themselves most of all, as claimed by supporters of the movement. Differences are believed to stem from individual, and not institutional, factors. To better assist you with an understanding of the promises made by neoliberal feminism. Being a feminist has turned into a source of pride and cultural capital for film and music stars. The word has become ubiquitous on social media and the mainstream media.

Word of the day: 懐かしい
Yesterday I cried quite a bit but it was good tears, I was thinking of Jahon and how we both really fucked up our situation. We both were just high all the time and it was pretty toxic, but I do still feel connected to him too, spiritually. But I feel like it is such a far past for me, or my current circumstances are so odd. I don't know what to expect from anything anymore.

Busting the Biological Clock Myth: Empowering Women’s Choices
The most well-thought-out advice provided to women of this generation seems to be, "Have a baby when you are ready to raise one." But nobody discusses how to get there. One has to prepare for pregnancy only when one is ready financially, emotionally, and physically, as feminist discourses remind us. But due to your "ticking biological clock," this has to be done in a hurry. There was always pressure on women to bear children.
