Alas, the one commonality in each and every one of these problems is the people, poli

A Small Place Jamaica Kincaid’s novel A Small Place was a very fascinating read on the author’s journey through the post-colonial Antiguan society. Although I personally found that the book was quite a dry-read and not entirely appealing to me, the story that Kincaid tells has a true message that talks a lot about the role of tourism on her country, and on the corruption of big business that pre

A Spring Day I awoke early on the first Saturday in May as the first rays of the sun were coming over the eastern horizon. I could hear the steady drizzle of the gentle spring rain, as it dripped from the eves of the house and the twittering of the birds as they talked to each other as they courted their mates and were busily building nests.

There is a problem that is getting bigger. It is one that willing governments are trying to fight, but it is one that will take changes in our thinking, in our attitudes, in our hearts for anything effective to happen.
