Sajid's Life Story.....

My name is Sajid Mollah, and I come from a humble yet resilient background. I was raised in Saligram, a remote village nestled in the Nadia district of West Bengal, India. The economic condition of my family was not ideal, but we made do. Growing up, I harbored a deep love for writing, which I inherited from my father and grandfather. Although my grandfather was illiterate, he was renowned in our village for his storytelling and oral compositions. The stories I heard about his talent filled me with inspiration, even though I never had the chance to meet him.

I spent my early years writing poetry and stories, diving into the world of fiction with a passion. This creative pursuit continued relentlessly throughout my studies, up until I completed my graduation. However, after leaving my village to prepare for civil service exam in the city of Calcutta, my life took a significant turn. Fiction began to fade into the background as I became engrossed in the subjects of the civil services syllabus, particularly Indian economy and polity.The more I studied these subjects, the more I became captivated by public finance. My fascination with economics grew so strong that I enrolled in NSOU for a degree in economics, further deepening my understanding of this vital field. It was during this time that I realized something profound: fiction, though beautiful and artistic, could not create the tangible change I sought. My desire to contribute to the welfare of society and mankind had to be realized through non-fiction writing, rooted in research and reality."The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well." This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson resonates with me deeply. My life's purpose is no longer about crafting stories of imaginary worlds but about bringing forth the real issues affecting the majority of people on this planet.

Now, I devote myself to research, particularly in public finance, and my mission is to shed light on the economic struggles faced by 99% of society. Governments, in my view, are shaping policies that disproportionately benefit the wealthiest 1%, leaving the vast majority of people in suffering and deprivation. Through my research and writing, I hope to change that. I believe that by bringing these injustices to light, I can help guide the public towards economic prosperity and societal well-being.My words are not limited to the borders of India. I write for the world, for every human being who struggles under the weight of economic hardship. I see my work as a global effort to improve the lives of the many who are neglected by those in power.

Fiction once held my heart, but now it is facts, analysis, and truth that drive me forward. As I look ahead, I see a path illuminated by knowledge, and I am committed to walking it for the benefit of all.

This journey has shaped me profoundly, and although the story of my life is far too long to fit into a few pages, I have shared these reflections from the bottom of my heart.

Voici Bahar Khorshidi.

Cette jeune femme iranienne de 23 ans a été jetée vivante par la fenêtre de son domicile par les milices de la République islamique d’Iran. Elle a été assassinée par ces fanatiques juste pour avoir participé aux protestations « Femmes, vie, liberté ». Toujours le même silence indigne des pseudo-féministes, alors que l’indignation devrait être mondiale. Le traitement des femmes en Iran par le régime des mollahs est l’une des hontes du XXIème siècle. La communauté internationale doit se réveiller immédiatement !

Soutien total à ces femmes héroïques et courageuses qui se battent chaque jour pour leur liberté.

 Rassemblement unitaire place de Fontenoy à Paris pour commémorer le pogrom du 7 octobre 2023 en Israël. Discours, musique. Triste anniversaire.

Une grande majorité de spectateurs étaient membres de la communauté juive de France, mais il y avait aussi des iraniens exilés qui brandissaient à coté de drapeaux israéliens des drapeaux de l'Iran d'avant, l’Iran impérial du Shah empereur.

J'avais en 1978 et 1979 passé pas mal de temps en Iran pour couvrir les évènements qui se terminèrent par la victoire de qui vous savez, et je me souviens que les avions Air France Téhéran-Paris faisaient certains jours escale à Tel Aviv. 

 Aujourd'hui le régime des mollahs envoie des fusées sur Israël, après avoir armé pendant des années les groupes terroristes que sont le Hamas et le Hezbollah, leurs marionnettes. 

Comme toujours ce sont les civils payent très cher tous ces calculs politiques. Je n'oublie pas le premier ministre israélien qui se sert de cette guerre pour tenter d'échapper à un procès pour des accusations de corruption, fraude et abus de confiance. 

Le monde est malade. Il ne manque que Trump!

WIP BIG BANG 2023 Done

Story Title: The Universe to Mend Fandom: Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Prodigy, Star Trek Novels (Beyer) Link: AO3

Summary: A few years after the events of the books Eternal Tide and A Pocket Full of Lies, a grieving Q teams up with a temporally displaced Kathryn Janeway and resurrects Hologram Janeway and the USS Protostar in order to investigate the reappearance of the universal crisis that killed his son. But when they discover the Krenim Imperium, Kathryn’s most terrifying adversary, are behind it, will these two displaced Janeways and one exiled Q be enough to stop it? Warnings: torture, child loss, canonical character death, smut Characters: Denzit Kathryn Janeway, Hologram Janeway, Q, Mollah Janeway, Maquis Chakotay, Lady Q, assorted Voyager characters. Pairings: Denzit Kathryn Janeway/Q, Hologram Janeway/Maquis Chakotay

When I Started: This idea crept up on me earlier this year and before I knew it I had 8,000 words comprising a solid beginning and a solid ending, but no idea how to thread my way through the middle. How I Lost My Shit: This stagnated for a time early on, as aside from one direct message thread with @theredheadedcaptain who generously indulges my flights of fancy, I knew it wouldn't have the usual incentive - reader engagement - to bring me to the finishline. The fact that it was shaping up to be another near-novel length story was similarly daunting. I plucked away at the structure of it here and there and wrote the key scenes that caught my attention most, but with life as busy as it currently is, I needed something to really light a fire under me if I was going to actually write the thing in full. How I Finished My Shit: entering the @wipbigbang and having a deadline gave me the push I needed. I made a writing schedule for the first time ever. I used the average word count of my finished chapters to game plan how much time i would need to write the others, then i threw that out the window when five chapters in a row clocked in at over 5K. Writing sprints with writing friends also majorly helped me meet my goal. I had to revise my due date once, and wound up posting the last four on a plane where it was still my posting date where I had started, but borderline not my posting date when I landed. It was a nail biter, but now it is all posted and I couldn't be happier with the journey this story took me on! So shout out to @wipbigbang for providing the deadline-motivation that got me to the finish line.

Je rebondis également sur le mouvement antisémite et pro-Palo, mais pourquoi diantre les jeunes de gauche associent Islam et socialisme/marxisme/communisme, alors qu'il s'agit d'un religion qui prône le traditionalisme donc droite voire extreme-droite ?

Écoute les communistes iraniens ont réussi l’exploit de contribuer à filer les clefs de leur pays aux mollahs avant de se faire massacrer donc comment te dire…

Je pense qu’il y a chez eux la conviction d’être plus intelligents que « les masses » qu’ils prétendent défendre. J’ai déjà raconté cette anecdote mais quand j’étais en fac, les syndicalistes étaient persuadés que si les « jeunes des quartiers » ne manifestaient pas avec eux c’était parce qu’ils n’étaient pas politisés et qu’ils devaient - en gros - aller leur prêcher la bonne parole. Ils étaient incapable de penser que ces jeunes puissent être politisés mais juste pas intéressés.

Les communistes iraniens étaient persuadés que les islamistes n’avaient pas les outils théoriques pour construire et faire tenir un état moderne. Et que naturellement après la révolution, le pouvoir leur reviendrait. Les gauchistes de chez nous font le même calcul. C’est parfaitement cynique chez les cadres.

Chez les militants il y a beaucoup de naïveté et d’envie profonde de bien faire. Ils sont très culturellement catho dans cette idée là et c’est ce qui a sous-tendu bien des actions associatives.

Dans le Chirvân : Vieux Chamakhi : chief palace of the province and formerly of the Khanat of Chirvân – destroyed by Peter the great, and then abandoned – but from the beauty of its situation and imposing ruins General Yermolof repaired the walls, bazaars, and many of the ancient buildings and it is now......

Au centre de l’autel, et presque à fleur de terre, on a établi un foyer dont la flamme sort également sans interruption. Une vingtaine de cellules sont adossées aux murs de cette enceinte sacrée ; quelques-unes sont habitées par des Hindous, les autres par les Paris on descendans des anciens Guebres.

Ruins of ancient fortifications and walls found at Iskouriah, support the opinion des savans qui plaçant dans ces parages le port de Dioscurias une des villes le plus commerçantes de l’antiquité – Pline dit qu’on y voyait des marchands de 300 langues différentes, et que lorsque les Romans y eurent établi leur domination, les affaires s’y traitaient par l’entremise de 130 interprètes. C’est ordinairement dans la rade de Sokhoum-kaléh et quelquefois dans celle de Redout-kaléh que stationne l’escadre Russe qui parcourt la côte de la grande Abasie et de la Mingèrlie to protect the merchant vessels against the Abases and Circassians, pirates from time immemorial, but not très redoutables because they have only bateaux à vames and no canon – their boats are perfectly the same as the Camerae of the ancestors ; 24 rowers y sont placés à leur aise – but at present they do not go far from the coast ; and as in general they ne sortent que par un beau temps, ils ne font plus usage d’un petit toit incliné pour se mettre à l’abri des vagues dans les tempêtes violentes. C’est sur de semblables barques que les Goths, fixés dans le 3me siècle en Crimée débarquèrent en Asie.

Pays des Montagues as called by the Russians and Klaproth and improperly by Hassel and others Circassia – the people in fact independent – the Russians n’y possèdent réellement qu’une petite bande, sur laquelle passe la route militaire qui de Mozòok mène à Tiflis, a trauvers la fameuse gorge de Dariel

Circassia est divided into Great Kabarda situated in the bassin du Kouban, and Little Kabarda in the middle part of the basin of the Terek – the women are reputed the handsomest of the Caucasus and the men are formidable to the Russians by their frequent incursions – ce peuple (Circassien) forme une république aristocratique militaire.

Pays du Mitsdjeghi – the savage inhabitants, especially those named Tchetchentses, are more determined brigands than the Lesghis – it is chiefly on account of these T- that the Russians are obliged to send 150 men and 2 cannon to escort the post from Mozdoz to Vladikawkas – there is less risk from here to Tiflis

In Daghestan Kouba formerly capital of the Khanat of this name, and one of the most powerful states in Daghestan, now chief place of the provence of Kouba – will probably be abandoned because the Russians to avoid its unhealthy climate have founded a new ville 60 milles (versts?) to the west also called Kouba residence of the Khamoutaï-khan prince who lives in a sort of dependence or Russia tho’ he loves brigandage as well as his neighbour le khadi de Thabasseran.

Not far from D- remains of a great wall said to extend over all the chain of mountains of Thabasseran built by Nouchirvan to hinder the incursions of the Khazans – this and others fortifications in the defiles of the Caucasus have given rise to the fable of a great wall extending from the black sea to the Caspian –
