IN THE WARMTH OF MY SHELL


I have raced through life, always walking forward but thinking backward of the day, when I came into a world which was made up of trees with lavender blossoms, orange trees which shed their fruit, the glowing redness of the apples and the plums in their luxurious ripeness, the blue valleys with the cool breeze blowing on my face and the pleasant sunshine. I stood near the window looking out into the garden with pride. I was safe inside a shell, blissfully unaware that it would break open any moment.
Life has changed over the years .The shell broke open leaving me cold and exposed in a world that threatened my very existence. I crawled out of my shell but the predators were all around-hovering at a distance. Sensing the danger I decided to crawl back into the safety of my shell. But soon realized that the shell was no more. Now it is freezing. I search for warmth that I may never find.

THE VOICE OF INDIA

"This House believes that Britain owes reparations to its former colonies ". "A speech that launched four million views,unleashing affirmative thoughts, in the minds of friend and foe;where ‘likes’ were strewn copiously, as leaves after a storm;when the world woke up to listen, to the clarion call at Oxford; the call for action and reparations." The speech went viral;the Indian social media rose up to applaud Dr. Tharoor and his skill to take on the British, while questioning the wisdom of their indescribable crimes.On hearing this speech, the majority of Indians spoke in a single voice, the voice of a magnanimous Nation! The motion for which he argued in the affirmative was: “This house believes Britain owes reparations to her former colonies.” Each of the statements he made was compelling. His argument was coated in wit. His rhetoric unsurpassed. With his uncommon gift of eloquence he crushed claims that colon...

WHO WOULD'NT WANT A WIFE .....IN INDIA...

And yet as Judy Brady says in " Why I Want a Wife"-- "My God, who wouldn't want a wife?"-In India "…I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs.I want a wife who will keep my house clean...I want a wife who cooks the meals, a wife who is a good cook.I want a wife who will plan the menus,do the necessary grocery shopping, prepare the meals, serve them pleasantly,and then do the cleaning up...  ….. I want a wife who is sensitive to my sexual needs, a wife who makes love passionately and eagerly when I feel like it, a wife who makes sure that I am satisfied. And, of course, I want a wife who will not demand sexual attention when I am not in the mood for it. I want a wife who assumes the complete responsibility for birth control, because I do not want more children. I want a wife who will remain sexually faithful to me so that I do not have to clutter up my intellectual life with jealousies. And I want a wife who understands that my sexual ...

LOUIS HILLARY PARK - WOLF'S RUN ( Amazon Review )

WOLF'S RUN is one of the finest books in English Literature. The theme of the book is historical yet contemporary. The brutal violence of 1969, perpetrated by the Ku Klux Klan is not one which can be confined to the limited framework of the 1960's but transcends time and place to evolve into the 21st century, with the new name tag--"terrorist organizations." The book signals change and hope for all the communities and nations in the world, if they would abolish hatred and work to unite into a single entity, based on tolerance and love. Louis Hillary Park's debut novel WOLF'S RUN should unquestionably be listed for the Booker Prize.
