My Derailments With Truth

'My Derailments With Truth' is a gut busting journey of Ravina Shekhar, a beauty-with-brains civil servant in the Department of Railway. Riding on a turbine fuelled truth traction, she runs her course full throttle in the high speed corridors of power and the fuzzy fractured tracks of hierarchy. She attempts to apply her 'chopping logic' in train operations, but the shrieking superiors mock her intelligence simply because she could 'conceive' like men. She conscientiously works with her colleagues and juniors to ensure highest standards in public service, but the roughhouse rule keepers point fingers at her incorruptibility just because she could speak up despite being at the bottom of the pyramid. The recurring derailments on her professional front fail to put her down as she resurgently revitalizes her resolve to march on fearlessly by sobbing gushingly in the darkness of the night. Karma precedes kismet is a philosophy she understands. It keeps her going. It keeps her thinking. But the turn of events on her personal living bring her to the junction where the derailment zone starts off. Till all such time she had constantly rubbished the phenomena of true love but when she lumpishly tries her hand at finding inner peace she is scandalised at herself. A fleeting fatuous peep into her own imagery throws up the image of an obtainable soul mate. She is excited at the prospect and hopes to convert it into a relationship. But the understated over-particular societal incitements irrationalize her progressive and polished parents, and she is impetuously married off. BFFs Aadhira and Radha Mam face similar derailments in their life paths, despite being partners in crime on the philosophy construct. Was kismet preloading karma?…

Our reporter Gill gives us a whistle-stop tour of the history of Ordsall Hall, a large former manor house in Lancashire and tells us how and why you should make a visit today.A group of school children are playing on the lawn as I make my way from the car park through the colourful gardens to this fine Tudor building that sits on the edge of the Ordsall estate and is a short walk from the Exchange Quay Metrolink station. It's good to know that young people are enjoying this lovely place. Ordsall Hall and I are old friends. The Ordsall A Cappella Singers , a choir I belong to, used to rehearse here before it was refurbished in 2011. The University of Salford where I used to be a lecturer holds events here, including the assessment of one of their Drama modules where student put on a theatrical performance in the Great Hall. Today I talk to Jennifer Holland, Commercial Manager, Salford Museum and Galleries. She tells me much about the hall. Ordsall Hall is Salford's oldest building and dates back to 1177. Its most interesting period of history however was in the last 300 years when it had a less grand but vivid history. In 1814, it was rented by a local cotton merchant Joseph Ryder, who shared the home with Richard Alsop, an innkeeper.It was then taken over by the Mather Family, who were cowkeepers. It then became the home of the Markendale Family, a local middle class family of Butchers who leased the property from the Egertons of Tatton. After that in 1872 it became a studio for local pre-Raphaelite Frederick Shields who wrote to John Ruskin that it was "the happiest refuge I have ever nested in". It then became a working men's club in 1875 for Haworth's Mill. The Great Hall became a gymnasiumA writer Abdifatah Hassan Roble…

I grew up in Orlando East, during the era of institutionalized racism and enforced tribal segregation by law, that gave rise to hostilities, gangsterism, enhanced tribalism and segregation among blacks, especially in the townships.Since I'm Sotho, we were allocated a predominantly Sotho speaking area which was ruled by its own gangsters called the Top 7, sharing borders with its rivals the Beez, predominantly living towards the north of Orlando east, the Vultures towards the west, the Kwaitos dominating the centre,the Vikings in Mlamlankunzi, the Kelly' s and the Bunzen sharing the south eastern borders of Orlando East close to Orlando train station which made it their default "warzone" where they had fights with their "Okapis"....And Ma-juta from Naledi and Ma-hazel from Mzimhlophe who were main rivals like Orlando Pirates and Kaiser Chiefs, had their branches throughout Soweto, and used local trains as their "playgrounds"/"war zones" as well.These violent and notorious gangs, were feared by most people and used to terrorize the neighbourhood and had regular "wars" with rival gangs, but I didn't care too much about my surroundings busy living under the"radar" believing that what was happening around me, won't affect me. Little did I know was going to happen next... On my way to my school I had to travel by train from Naledi train station, for about an hour or more to my scbool Matjeni primary that was situated in Orlando East, were I made some friends and it seemed they were having a lot more fun than me.Every-day I met them while I went to scbool, they were doing what they loved best, they were smoking marijuana and surfing trains. I observed them for a few days, not going to school for a number of days, just having fun until I got cold feet going back to school.Little did I know that I was becoming a member of a notorious gangster group...the x 5 from Naledi...Published on December 20, 2017 10:22 • 120 views • Tags: the-azanian / extract…

We stood together hand-by-hand. We watched sunsets together, acted mischievously together, and of course we joked and teased each other. Sometimes our fun had no limits to the point where we got arrested together. Those were the times of our lives, well not until the day that broke our strong connection. Our friendship shattered like old pieces of glass. But we'll bond, maybe soon or maybe notThis story contains:-Mental illnesses-Self harming-Violence-Sad scenesContains cuteness and fluffNO SMUT…
