The Origami Art



Recently, this topic has rooted itself,deeply, inside me. The fascination stemmed from my,let's say,addiction of Prison Break.The Origami art is the art of making sculptors out of solely square papers. It was founded in China in 100AD. The Japanese then adopted the art,nurtured it, and made it into a culture.

When origami was first brought to Japan, only the rich practiced the art of folding paper into shapes. The shape creation was a way of adding special meaning to what the paper held on it or in it.

For love notes, origami was doubly special. First, the origami shape itself could represent a message. The selection of color and shape help conveyed the true emotions of the writer. Second, origami is an intricate art. If the love note was intercepted, it would be unlikely that the reader could perfectly refold the shape. So the origami love note was very secure - it could not be read by the wrong person without the recipient knowing it.

The origami crane has a special meaning attached to it.It means, honor and loyalty.It is also used to denote "Familial Obligation". It beholds the primitive emotion that man has for family.

The Others

Just finished watching the fourth episode of season 4 and I noticed a couple of things. The way the episode portrayed the Others was extremely intriguing since the books do not divulge too much information about this icy mystique. In the episode, we first sense that the Others are about to come when we see the poured water freezing in front of Ghost. Whenever the Others appear, the temperature drops or they appear WHEN the temperatures drop. Research about them is scarce, as Samwell Tarly says in book five (small spoiler, sorry!). Whatever the case, they are correlated with a drop in temperatures. If you see water freezing instantly, you better get your dragon steel ready. We then see one of the Other taking the sacrificed baby on a horse to a mountain. This is where things get really interesting. The one riding the horse is the familiar Other. We have seen him before. He was the one leading the attack against the Night's Watch men on Fist of the First Men. But the second Othe...

Many people argue, that it doesn't exist. And, you won't find it in any map.The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle and does not maintain an official file on it.

Quasar, author of "Into the Bermuda Triangle: Pursuing the Truth Behind the World's Greatest Mystery" , later found out 300 mis...

Bangladesh Politics: An Inside Story from a Teenager

I wanted to write about politics for a long time, because you see; my writing instincts, I believe, is inherited from my father, who in turn inherited it from my granddad. My father is a journalist turned into a political analyst, and my grandfather was the first journalist in our district (Narshingdi). I come from a family which is deeply involved in Bangladesh politics, and therefore, I descry it almost every day. And because of this, I have come to ascertain the fact that Bangladesh politics is pathetic. It is ludicrous and devious from the prime objectives of politics itself. It is based upon deceit, connivance, and manipulation. Well, politics all over the world is based upon these, undoubtedly, but what makes BD politics so special is that how the politicians go about doing these stuffs. The way they weave their veil of lies is farcical! And the sad thing is, our citizen are so uber stupid and imbecile that they will gobble down any half-wit lie they are served on a golden pla...
