My Indian Adaptations of Shakespeare’s Plays

-

I read Merchant of Venice in High School for my ICSE board exams and now as an Higher Secondary (ISC Board) student, I am reading Macbeth. I enjoyed reading both these plays and couldn’t resist writing some fiction based on these plays, in modern, Mumbai settings. Here goes:

Macbhai (adapted from Macbeth) in three parts:

Bicycle Stories From Montpellier

-
Image
  I’m in Montpellier, Southern France, for a month, to attend an intensive French language immersion course at the Accent Francais . I have classes five days a week, 3:15 hours a day on Mondays and Fridays and 4:45 hours on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I stay with a landlady who speaks only French. Weekends are mine and yesterday, I rented a bicycle for the day (paying € 15 for the pleasure) and cycled in and around Montpellier for around five hours. I found it very easy to cycle in Montpellier. Though I am used to cycling on the left and out here I have to cycle on the right, I found the going very smooth. There are cycling lanes everywhere and even if there isn’t a cycling path, bicycles are treated like any other vehicle on the road. I followed the traffic signals like every other driver on the road and felt very safe.  I had lunch at an open air restaurant, with my bicycle propped up against a nearby railing. I returned my cycle at 6:30 pm and walked back to my fla...

I am really worried about Sunita Williams

-
Image
Photographs of Sunita Williams, taken on September 24, show her to be in poor shape . She looks noticeably gaunt, with "sunken" cheeks and her facial structure looks pronounced and emaciated. It is cler that Sunita has lost a considerable amount of weight suggesting significant physical deterioration. Images of Sunita taken in October reveal an even thinner frame. What makes this all the more worrying is that Sunita will not be returning to earth for some more months. Sunita and Barry Wilmore went to the International Space Station for a 10-day mission on June 5, 2024. However, the Boeing Starliner spacecraft that was intended to return them to Earth, was deemed unsafe for use and their stay on the ISS had to be extended . Barry and Sunita have now been on the ISS for over six months. Their return is now scheduled for February 2025, when they will be aboard SpaceX’s Crew-9 Dragon capsule. NASA has publicly stated that Williams is in 'good health'. It is unclear if ...

Sunita Williams to return on March 19

Apparently NASA is finalizing plans to bring Williams and Wilmore back to Earth, along with their two space station crewmates, Crew 9 commander Nick Hague and cosmonaut Alexander Gorbunov, around March 19. That's two weeks earlier than their previously announced ETA. This has come about because   the next set of station fliers, known as Crew 10, are expected to be switched to a different Crew Dragon spacecraft (Endeavor) and launched on March 12th . The SpaceX ferry ship meant to make its maiden flight to bring back Williams and Wilmore is taking longer than expected and will not be used to for the March trip. During her stay on the ISS, Sunita broke the record for total spacewalking time by a woman by logging 62 hours and 6 minutes of spacewalk. Williams and Wilmore sauntered outside the ISS to remove degraded radio communications hardware and collect samples that may show whether microorganisms exist on the exterior of the orbiting laboratory. A week ago, Sunita told CBS Evenin...
