About kerakaali

“When I take you to the Valley, you’ll see the blue hills on the left and the blue hills on the right, the rainbow and the vineyards under the rainbow late in the rainy season, and maybe you’ll say, “There it is, that’s it!” But I’ll say. “A little farther.” We’ll go on, I hope, and you’ll see the roofs of the little towns and the hillsides yellow with wild oats, a buzzard soaring and a woman singing by the shadows of a creek in the dry season, and maybe you’ll say, “Let’s stop here, this is it!” But I’ll say, “A little farther yet.” We’ll go on, and you’ll hear the quail calling on the mountain by the springs of the river, and looking back you’ll see the river running downward through the wild hills behind, below, and you’ll say, “Isn’t that the Valley?” And all I will be able to say is “Drink this water of the spring, rest here awhile, we have a long way yet to go and I can’t go without you.”

    Everyday I'm more inclined to believe that it's about equal. You've heard of single issue voters yes?

    You're assuming people are following protocol. Humans undergo lapses in judgement multiple times a day and are just as forgetful. Just the other day, I found myself having scratche…

    I came in expecting a quick skim but was captivated by the narrative until the end. A truly fantastic bit of writing. Thanks for the share.

    Depends on the dorm, but in some older dormitories there might be maybe one full size kitchen for student use allotted to the entire building.

    I wonder if part of an issue is the generation gap? For older readers, I imagine that they're much more familiar with CNN referring to the Cable News Network. Whereas for younger r…

    Well, one needs to make the leap of faith somewhere . Though if someone was faking their logs, I'm pretty sure it's possibly to see that there's something fishy going on. At the en…

    Well, I'd postulate the origins lie even deeper. Years of male brain-focused research in psychology and neuroscience have not done this misconception any favours. It's only just re…

    I think it's too hopeful to learn the ins and outs of a language through an app alone. As you mentioned, Duolingo is a tool and very rarely does one tool fit all use cases. I see D…

    Are these mutually exclusive ideas? I feel there's overlap between them. Acting based on emotional pull can also reduce cognitive overhead compared to the expensive process of maki…
