S3E06 Forlorn not Forgotten

One where we obsess over woeful love. V caj.


As, in the song ‘This Time’, that he wrote for the movie August Rush (go watch it, you’re welcome), Jonathan Rhys Meyers crooned,

I've been sitting, watching life pass from the sidelines

Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds

I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind

Would the wind be at my back?

Could I get you off my mind

This time?

S3E04 Roses not Guns

Do not resign yourselves to the world as we know it. As Faiz Ahmed Faiz said, “Chale chalo ki woh manzil abhi nahin aayi; jhoote hain log jo dete hain aasra tum ko — Keep going, for the destination is yet to come; deceitful are they, the ones who promise you refuge.”

There's STILL an apartheid in Palestine, Kashmiris are STILL in lockdown, Yemen is STILL starving, Syrian children STILL have PTSD, people are STILL trafficked in Libya, Afghans are STILL being persecuted, Malians are STILL malnourished, Venezuelans are STILL fleeing their homeland, Iraqis STILL live in fear, the Palestinians and the Lebanese are STILL being robbed of their future, Ethiopians are STILL dying from hunger, the Uyghur genocide is real and STILL ongoing ..and that's not the last of it, while our world leaders are STILL greedy.
