Today in history

Today in History 1993 At 12:18 p.m., a terrorist bomb explodes in a parking garage of the World Trade Center in New York City, leaving a crater 60 feet wide and causing the collapse of several steel-reinforced concrete floors in the vicinity of the blast. Although the terrorist bomb failed to critically damage the main structure of the skyscrapers, six people were killed and more than 1,000 were injured. The World Trade Center itself suffered more than $500 million in damage. After the attack, authorities evacuated 50,000 people from the buildings, hundreds of whom were suffering from smoke inhalation. The evacuation lasted the whole afternoon. The mastermind of the attack–Ramzi Ahmed Yousef–remained at large until February 1995, when he was arrested in Pakistan. He had previously been in the Philippines, and in a computer he left there were found terrorist plans that included a plot to kill Pope John Paul II and a plan to bomb 15 American airliners in 48 hours.  Close to 3,...

TWISTED 🌀 Chapter 3

Twisted 🌀 Chapter 3 "I am Braden Willian. We met at the interview at Keith Jones theatre. I know that it's up to the company's representatives to call you if you have qualified for their auditions. However I would love to see you personally. I have an offer for you. It could help achieve your dreams if you're ready to utilize you. So, if you're interested, come over to the address printed on the card. Let's have a formal discussion". "Hello. Good morning. Are you Miss Audrey?" "Yes I am, good morning. I was given an appointment by Mr Braden. He asked me to come in today". "That's right. Wait a minute. I will inform him that you're here." The whole environment was breathtaking. This was an executive office on the 15th floor of the Dream tower. It was a beautiful sight, the furnitures, the designs on the walls. There were five offices that were visible from where I sat. There was an open office as the receptio...

Twisted 🌀 They began living together again as peacefully as they could. Dylan had lost his job long before, he now worked as a delivery man with a friend from High school days. Aamira knew only that much because her first attempt to ask him about where he was and what he was doing was brushed off with slight irritation. All the same she was happy to have him back. She made sure that Aadarsha called him "daddy". It was rather unfortunate that the leopard never lost its spots. On the 20th of January, everything took a worse bend. Dylan demanded for some money to change his wardrobe because he was looking for a better job. He always had reasons to ask for money ever since he came back. He must have hit rock bottom, he usually would not ask for money from her only from his friends. Aamira had some money but she couldn't disappoint Aadarsha on her birthday the next day. She had promised a big party and she was only halfway into the preparations. "I would try to...

Twisted 🌀 (Chapter 2) "Good morning Tessa." "Hi. Morning Alaina. Good to see you. Someone came to see you and he left  a message". "He??" "Yes a young man came looking for you. Rather an handsome man Alaina". Why did she wink? "Tessa, I don't know what you're thinking. I also have no idea who you talking about." She handed me a business card with a name and a number behind it. That was the message. *Braden Willian* "I don't know,  Alaina,  but I still think One Hour Before is the better movie. I mean it's funny, emotional and it depicts what's going on in reality  though it appears rather fictional. The actors are so professional, so real...." I felt Ace was better because it seemed like the movie was referring to me. Not totally though but a large part of it made the main character just like me. Aadarsha, the heroine was a young adult. Well  she was eighteen. She was quite nice to look at bu...

Twisted chapter 1 No 5. You're up next". Oh God. Not now. I was so terrified, the next person had to tap me. Okay, I can do this,  I can make it through. Oh Mom. Where are you when I need you the most. "Alaina dinner's set". Mum makes too much announcements. 'Alaina, the kids are going to bed' 'Alaina I'm doing the laundry' 'Alaina pizza's here'. I don't want to hear any of that tonight.  Right now, I only want to stuff my mouth with all these chicken and I'd make dessert for myself with the last bowl of ice cream in the freezer. Surprisingly mom didn't repeat her announcement or come upstairs to drag me to dinner. I'm not too sure why but it made me more upset. I felt like she had not been giving me attention, like she had not been there. I bit into the chicken with so much force, that my teeth hurt, i had downed eight wings,  still a number to go. As much as I tried, I couldn't stick around f...

TWISTED (chapter one)

Twisted 🌀 "I guess you're right" "Yes my dear. People will always talk about you, whatever you do. So many times people have talked so bad of my social ways, they call it playfulness. As the first child they expect much more from me. You remember I told you that I had a delay in high school and I had to repeat a class and then my younger brother became my classmate. There's just this look from people like you're a failure already...." "Okay, but really, what's the fun of all the hardwork and success story if there ain't people to talk, it's a normal deal. I just beleive in doing the right thing and being happy. Take the constructive criticism, trash the rest of the talk". " Rox, I'm happy tonight. It feels good to hear your voice. I have so much to do tomorrow and I need to get some sleep. We'll talk later. Goodnight dear". "Right Blair, night night and sweet dreams". " Yeah. Bye. Be good....

Man City vs Chelsea highlights as City win 6-0 and Sergio Aguero nets hat-tick Manchester City demolished Chelsea 6-0 to return to the top of the Premier League table in style at the Etihad. Sergio Aguero recorded the 11th Premier League hat-trick of his career as Manchester City demolished Chelsea with a 6-0 victory at the Etihad Stadium. The Blues blew Maurizio Sarri's side away with four goals in the opening 25 minutes, with City returning to the top of the table and extending their goal difference advantage over Liverpool in the process. Raheem Sterling opened the scoring before Aguero attoned for an earlier miss by adding the second with an outrageous effort from distance on 13 minutes. Aguero soon doubled his tally before Ilkay Gundogan made it four with his own impressive strike from 25 yards. Aguero's hat-trick came from the penalty spot on 55 minutes to tie him level with Alan Shearer on all-time Premier League hat-tricks before Sterling's second of ...

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer becomes the first Manchester United manager to win Premier League Manager of the Month since Sir Alex Ferguson Manchester United caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been named Manager of the Month for January, and the first to win the title since Sir Alex Ferguson‘s departure.

Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford , 21, wins the award for the first time in his career after scoring four goals in five appearances in January, including the winner in United’s 1-0 away win over Tottenham.

Sports News  Liverpool regained top spot in the Premier League by getting back to winning ways as goals from Sadio Mane, Georginio Wijnaldum and Mohamed Salah secured a comfortable 3-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday.  Back-to-back draws against Leicester and West Ham had seen Jurgen Klopp’s men usurped by Manchester City on goal difference in midweek.  But Liverpool took full advantage of their game in hand over the champions to open up a three-point lead and put the pressure back on City when they host Chelsea on Sunday.  Klopp had called on his side to enjoy the “excitement” of what promises to be a thrilling title race rather than being bogged down by the nerves of recent displays as they seek to end a 29-year wait to win the title.

Born blind

Born Blind When your eyes are shut to the light And you rise like a fog in the night When you wish to behold in delight The beauty of the lines in the sky But you could only use your mind To paint what you'd have thought to see Not because you'd like But because you're blind

For love or acceptance

If it ever costs 'a pinni" How does it feel? I mean waiting For so long to meet that right person? Countering all odds Shattering all locks All shackles and noodles Villains and all Fighting with all you ever had, The war between good and bad "She's gonna come, My heaven-sent" Wandering in thoughts of vanity. Then comes the heronine on board Only to question if you were created by God    I guess love Is cheaper than acceptance afterall
