Autumn

Staring through pure honey, edged with forest green. It held up a deep black hole engulfing its surroundings. Unnoticed by her guests, another season waiting to go away. Fleeting shoes overlooked where upon the colors melted, moving in brilliant swirls of the reddish gold. She is still and viewing. Mixtures of different shades of red danced on her lid. Each lash perfectly in order to the crescent shape of her bushy brows. Her giggles vaporized in the air, she was part of nature and nature part of her. Eyes luminous against her cream-colored skin. Every frown brought upon a cold storm, brutally tearing each leaf from its mother. Every smile lanterned your heart with love and comfort. She smells of baked cookies on her wrist. Flames explode from her untamed hair, redder than blonde. Her curls, a proud mane protected her from the harshness of the wind. Dimples, deep clover holes of imperfection under her eyes, story secrets after secrets. Crystal teeth that made the colour white shy away. Large space between her upper incisor brought colour to her light lips. The sun kissed her skin giving it the most spectacular halo effect. Brightening the constellation sitting against her crinkled nose. She waited with patience for her friend. Looked on the streets, bent behind the trees. But her friend never came so winter dragged little autumn away. Nails dug in hold as the ground gave away. Her hair defeating gravity with force of its own. Going down into the endless blue. Deafening silence came as he drowned her. Soon there was no sound or ripple in wake. People went about their day not flinching at the aghast wind blew and took autumn away.

My MUN UNSC pp

  Committee: Security Council Country: China Topic: Providing Effective Humanitarian Assistance in Conflicts Delegate: Fatima Abdul Mannan   (Topic Background): The world has been stuck in an eerie limbo post the Cold War era. The ever-expanding outbursts of war and unmanageable peacekeeping treaties has dramatically increased the need for humanitarian aid. Civil wars and such conflicts affect around 2 million people according to ICRC. This makes an onset of 68.5 million people being evacuated due to violence and 120 million people in total worldwide depending on humanitarian assistance. The onslaught of such numbers makes it only a conscious decision for intervention of neighboring countries for relief. Yet the dynamics of intervention in international relations has been obstructed on numerous occasions. This hence has given the UNSC setbacks upon maintain peace and security in regimes, especially in the recent course of the pandemic. Based on such turbulences, m...

Critic Piece on The Telegraph's 'If your child is fat then you are a bad parent'

  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/11985974/If-your-child-is-fat-then-you-are-a-bad-parent.html   Dear Ms. Brewer, I recently came upon your article, ‘If your child is fat then you are a bad parent.’ I am writing to outline major flaws in your writing, including your tone, false accusations and the impractical solution you give to solve this problem. It is hard to be believe such a biased piece was published on the well known THE TELEGRAPH. Firstly, you claim that, ‘parents are 100 per cent to blame,’ for raising an overweight child, which is incorrect. It is often that natural problems such as: genetic disorders, puberty and normal hormone imbalances can be the root of obesity in children. These causes are out of parent’s control; hence they cannot be blamed for it. Further on, parents do not tend to ‘force feed,’ their children. It is not sensible to think anyone can be forced fed beyond their capacity unless parents shove food down their children’s throats,...
