In addition, the political conditions in the Arab world are very grimdue to the recent unrest in Egypt, Libya and Yemen. Although this is a serious issue, no solutions have been provided,in the near future, for many of these countries.Moreover, there is a political fear of countries acquiring the new satanic might, nuclear power, as it allows them to ex their territorial superiority against their own neighbours! The above situations show how humans immense greed has completely crippled our world. However, luckily, there are still many people whom somehow have realized this grave situation; consequently, they have reected it in charted activities across the globe. For instance,there are conferences on restoring the environment, negotiations on bilateral relations and initiatives on stabilising the present terrestrial life. Well, if remedial actions are not taken immediately our world will sink down and all humans will suffer. Let the rst lessons begin at the familys front doors as millions of children crave for love and care. Moreover, let parents spend more time with their children and less time in their race to reach the top authorial positions! Let the younger generation be prevailed once more with axiomatic virtues, preached time and again by all messengers of God.

A friend
Sweet as nectar, Calm as the sea, Thats exactly how a friend should be! Free as a pigeon, Yet, busy as a bee, Thats exactly how a friend should be! Standing nearby, To encourage me, Thats exactly how a friend should be! All my miseries, Only my friend can see, A friend really means so much to me! SHILPA SRINIVASAN

She concludes saying, everyone is creative in his own way, and for those who have not discovered their talents, go and nd them.
Desiderate
Dirt clung to his ngernails as he made his way over the moist soil. He knew he was dying, simply because he was thirsty! He didnt have a drink for almost a week. Well, he reected wryly, as he had been kept imprisoned by his ungrateful master because he happened to fall in love at his job. Finally, he had escaped. And ages later, he had managed to nd a town, yet he couldnt nd relief. Damn, he rasped, as a chuckle came out more like a hacking cough. But of course, who could be more dammed than he, who had performed such unspeakable evils? There was a rustle in the bushes. Terried, he climbed up a tree,
awaiting the worst. Oh, it was only a girl carrying a bucket full of water from the nearby well. He licked his chapped, dry lips he was so thirsty, so very thirsty! He could see the cool water from the bucket splashing onto the grass. He was hesitant. The girl was so much like her, his love. The same golden hair, the same color of eyesthen his heart was hardened. She had died, hadnt she? His master had seen to that. He didnt want redemption anymore. And with that last thought, he leapt at the girl and put an end to her screams. He bit her warm, eshy neck and drank in the one thing that could douse the ames in his throat - rich, red blood.
