They are sitting on the same side of the table, scanning the menus. 'Do you see the man with her?' He is much older, plump and dark, with a moustache. Look at her.' I casually glance to the right. She says, 'There is a girl wearing brown on your right. 'I've just oiled it.' She woke up only fifteen minutes ago. ![]() Her hair is up and in a ponytail behind her head she apologizes for it. Her chest looks tanned actually it has been reddened from playing Holi the previous day. She is wearing a red Ralph Lauren tank top, jeans and platform shoes a lacy black bra peeps out from the straps of the top. Monalisa walks into the coffee shop of the Sea Princess in Juhu a few days later, and as she comes toward me every head turns to look at her, the men with lust, the women with hate. She pushes away the money- the first time a bar girl has ever refused my money-writes down her number on a piece of paper, and gives it to me. ![]() I lean forward, a hundred-rupee note in my hand, and tell her I am writing a script with Vinod and would like to talk to her. 'If she were from Malabar Hill, she'd be at the top of the film world,' he says. But Monalisa's dancing rises out of the heat of her own body she learned dancing by watching herself in the mirror. ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments The maddest obsession series order![]() Nowhere in Christian's plans had he ever prepared for Gianna. She hates him-his stone-cold demeanor, his arrogance and too-perceptive eye-but over the years, even as their games consist of insulting each other's looks and intelligence, she begins to live to play with him. One winter night and their lives intertwine. With a proclivity for order and the number three, he's never been tempted to veer off course. Christian Allister has always followed the life plan he'd envisioned in his youth, beneath the harsh lights of a frigid, damp cell. In the New York underworld, others know him as a hustler, a killer, his nature as cold as the heart of ice in his chest. Most see a paragon of morality a special agent upholding the law. Little do most know it's just a sparkly disguise, there to hide one panic attack at a time. She laughs too loudly, eats without decorum, and mixes up most sayings in the book. ![]() ![]() Her dresses are too tight, her heels too tall. ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments Challenge Accepted by Amanda Abram![]() Logan’s choice only compounds problems for him, especially when it comes to Emma, who he finds himself helping, despite everything he stands for telling him he shouldn’t. Grace is not the kind of person one wants to be involved with, but more importantly, not the type of person one wants to cross. While Logan’s reasoning for lying on the test doesn’t hold much water – that he wanted to give his girlfriend a reason to break up with him if he wasn’t compatible with her – his decision is a good one. They get on each other’s last nerve, and this is only exacerbated by the fact that Logan cheats on a charity compatibility test and winds up with Emma as his supposed “perfect match.” ![]() ![]() Logan, her next door neighbor, who also happens to be her father’s best friend’s son, is more like her nemesis. Yet, despite all of the stories that say otherwise, that does not mean it is a match made in heaven with the boy next door. Her writing style perfectly captures teenage life, from the steadfast friendships to the certainty that one knows what is right for oneself without necessarily seeing the bigger picture.Ībrams’ main character, Emma, is literally the girl next door. ![]() Readers will find ‘Challenge Accepted’ by Amanda Abram hard to put down. ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments Edna st vincent millay renascence![]() ![]() This resulted in quite a bit of controversy. ![]() “Renascence” was considered the finest poem in the collection, but ultimately won only fourth place. It was accepted and included in the collection. Her mother encouraged her to enter the poem in a contest sponsored by The Lyric Year, an annual volume of poetry. Edna has already been writing - and even publishing - poetry while in her teens. The backstory of the poem’s publication sets the stage for what would be an eventful and dramatic life. The poem considers human suffering and death, and after a refreshing rain, the narrator is once again able to experience joy, the rebirth of life - thus the title, “Renascence.” Battle in Camden, Maine, which now has a plaque in the spot that inspired its lines. The poem was written on the summit of Mt. The narrator of the poem is writing from a mountaintop from which she observes the broad vista observation becomes a mystical experience. ![]() The overarching theme is the connection of the individual to nature. The 214-line lyric poem consists of rhymed couplets. You can find an excellent analysis of it on Poetry Foundation. Though it was published when she was just nineteen, it held up as one of the best poems in her canon. Vincent Millay (1892 – 1950) is the 1912 poem that put this iconic American poet on the literary map. ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments Stephen king finders keepers book![]() ![]() Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another crime. ![]() Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books, but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a career in advertising. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn't published a book for decades. ""Wake up, genius." So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. ![]() "A masterful, intensely suspenseful novel about a reader whose obsession with a reclusive writer goes far too far-a book about the power of storytelling, starring the same trio of unlikely and winning heroes King introduced in Mr. ![]() ![]() ![]() Jim’s first book, Why Do We Gotta Do This Stuff, Mr. Jim is the author, most recently, of Why Teach?

Experts have since pointed out that the full extent of data collection extends far beyond period-tracking apps. Many women soon after expressed concern over fertility and period-tracking apps, fearing that the data they share could be used to incriminate them.

His words resonate differently over a decade later, where tech giants find themselves at yet another crossroads. In response to concerns about Google’s privacy violations, then-CEO Eric Schmidt declared in 2009 that “if you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.” While blunt, Schmidt made explicit what was already widely understood in tech industry circles - there is immense value in seeing, tracking, and knowing all. ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments Equilibrium by Katey Hawthorne![]() ![]()
