Letter to Anne Shirley

Dear Anne with an E

Date : 1st October 2026

I'm drafting this letter to tell you that how you made my childhood wonderful. I didn't know about much until I read yours Anne of Green Gables.
I love how you found magic in every mundane things. You named lakes, and trees and how you loved to play with your Blossom friend Diana Berry. Do you remember, when Diana's mother broke your friendship because of that Raspberry Cordial and Diana was also being super greedy for that drink. But later things were back to normal after you nursed Diana's baby sibling.
Apart from your kind, loving and interesting personality, who can forget your anger for Gilbert Blythe. Poor fellow! He teased you for your red hair and you hit the slate on his head. Funny and chaotic you were. After that you didn't talk with him even when you were closed to drowning while playing "Lady of Shallot".
I love to read about you, but I still hate that you were so harsh and rigid for your beauty. You didn't like your hair colour and so you dyed it green. Another funny incident.
Thank you for adding that pinch of drama in my childhood. Honestly I miss that but still I name trees and try to find magic but I'm now I am in my early 20s. So it is a tradition to read you a once a in a year especially during October as you says

"I'm so glad to live in a world where there are octobers."

The Indian Paradox : Democracy, Communism and National Identity

On the 10th October 2008, the historic deal was signed between India and the USA. A landmark occasion as India began to be recognised as a nuclear weapon state, a privilege that enabled gain access to critical technologies. The core of agreement focuses on the non proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The deal opens the door for import of Uranium which further leads to peaceful and civilian use of nuclear energy. The deal also strengthens the future image of India at international level. However, being democratic country with a political instability as a feature of Manmohan Singh's government took a unique turn. Criticism was expressed in parliament but the irony is that the opposition party led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji supported the deal but coalition parties threatened the cabinet for withdrawing the support. In my opinion,this is a common situation but the issue that concerns me most is the fact that primary opposition came from communist party also known as "le...

The Great Depression

Th ere is lots to write about American events and among them is the Great Depression', that took place in the United States of America during the 1930s. The long and widespread depression of the 20th century was started in 1929 and lasted till the late 1930s. This economic turmoil was started after the fall of stock prices began in early September 1929 and this turmoil became worldwide news on 29th October 1929 when the stock market was crashing , this day is known as Black Tuesday.

Climate Change: a great crises that we will defeat.

“Climate change is a terrible problem, and it needs to be solved. It deserves to be a huge priority.”-Bill Gates, Founder of Microsoft. Do you experience intense heat more often than your parents and grandparents? It must be a ‘NO’. During those days heat was not severe and if we analyze the scenario 20 years ago, people were able to live without air conditioners. But why are we experiencing this weather pattern? Well, this is persuaded by human activities that cause climate change. As per as United Nations, climate change is regarded as one of the greatest crises in the world. Planet Earth emits certain amount of carbon but its natural mechanism regulates overall temperature. But these things began to take dramatic turn when humans began to hinder over earth mechanism. With the advent of industrial revolution, humans were researching on striving for new technologies that provoked higher economic growth.
