International Women’s Day

This stone slab is from Yale University. If you zoom into the picture you will see a series of numbers engrained in a spiral. The digits indicate the number of female students enrolled in Yale since inception.  For a good number of years, it remained at 0, then around the early 20th century you can see female student enrollment in the low three-digit number, slowly creeping its way up. Last year there were 5225 females enrolled into Yale. 

On the occasion of international women's day, I thought of sharing this intriguing piece of information. May we all thrive to do our part and celebrate women's contribution to this beautiful world we live in.

Is it Love?

It doesn’t matter how indifferent love may become, it never conspires to take avenge, and if it does, it wasn’t love.

and the love we swore by
is lying defeated in the squalor of nothingness,
yet the smiles shine
