April is when I play video games as an ode to my gamertag's birthday. This year, I decided to delve into a game called Stardew Valley . It’s an indie farming game where you inherit a farm from your grandpa and decide to leave behind your concrete-jungle life to embrace country living. You move to Pelican Town, where you meet many people, and can even date and marry one of them. Farming, fishing, mining, and animal husbandry are the main activities that will occupy most of your time. The game is structured around four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. I’ve just finished spring, started summer, and I’m hooked! What fascinates me the most is that the entire game was created by one person.

It has been over 24 hours since the atrocious terrorist attack in the state of Jammu & Kashmir. The innocent victims were segregated based on their religion, and shot on point blank if they weren't muslims. Heart still sinks thinking about the heinous crime, and there's a lot of anger to avenge the deaths of its citizens within the country. Many little children lost their fathers, many newlyweds lost their husbands, and what for? All in the name of your god? I recently saw a podcast of Khan sir, he's a youtuber-teacher from Patna, Bihar. He made a valid point saying that these idiots use the name of their god before carrying such detestable crime. Is it right to defame your god like this? Which god would want you to take away and murder his creation, that too in his name? I pray for the innocent victims of this terrorist act, and may their families get the strength to bear the loss of their loved ones. Om Shanti. Jai Hind.
