The Evening Star Proto-Star Interview Today this interview is about my favorite Indian Person. I have known many people from India but this lady is one of her own special kind because our bond is based on literature. She is young and so full of talent. She joined us on Meraki in early days and played her role as a great manager and we have worked through thick and thin to make it work in the first year. I get to know this person and I have learned a lot from her. Read her interview and learn how she made an impact.

I don ’ t know about the women though as I don ’ t know the voices inside their heads. They are warriors inside the voices of my head but this story is not about that but is about how hard it is to be in man ’ s world. Everyone asks me why I don ’ t get married all the time nowadays.

This is all the pressure that I take on a daily basis and it is messing me up. I know what they are saying is right but I don ’ t know how to achieve that work. I have tried doing jobs, five of them and t...

The Big Bang Theory A story for the kids The Big Bang Theory A story for the kids Once upon a time, when the universe was still growing and there were only a few tiny towns scattered across space, there was a special little village called Red Rocks. It was a very pretty place, with sparkling lakes and big open fields of green grass. But the most amazing part of Red Rocks was Mt. Slacko! It was a gigantic mountain with a glowing Lava Lake right inside. All the kids in Red Rocks loved to play and explore around Mt. Slacko. They would climb up to the top and look down at the bubbling lava inside the mountain. They would run through the fields around the mountain and play games of tag and hide-and-seek. In Red Rocks there lived a teenage boy Moon. He was a bright student and always willing to lend a helping hand. Moon's girlfriend Star was also a bright student and they both came from humble middle-class families, but they were determined to be scholars someday. Living in the ...
