damn bestie that's a lot /pos 💜
I'm gonna put it under a read more if you don't mind
13: Biggest turn ons
haha what kind of attraction am i experiencing are turn ons meant as sexual attraction only or others as well am i even experiencing anything-
ANYWAYS
i love when people roll up their sleeves to their elbows, especially if they have hairties or bracelets around their wrists. when people fidget with stuff or when they play with their hair. i adore when in conversation there's a topic they care about and they get excited and just start infodumping, they always apologise afterwards but its literally so cool
14: Biggest turn offs
cigarettes unless we know each other well (dont ask idk thats just how it is), lack of general politeness to strangers, judgement, just unmatching vibes will sometimes turn me away from interacting with someone
16: I’ll love you if…
If you show me basic kindness and understanding, I will like you very much; if you show any kind of interest in me as a person I will love you thatse it
17: Someone you miss
my irl besties ;_; so far away, but we are meeting up for halloween so :DD
18: Most traumatic experience
uhhh that time I got stung by an italian fish that supposedly couldve been deadly? it had no impact on my mental health but there you go, I don't feel like going into actual serious traumas skdjfkwjkgj
19: A fact about your personality
I'm fluid as fuck, many things change as time goes by, but I have troubles with that thing that's responsible for assuring you that things do change. If I feel like something in the moment that by default means I'm gonna feel it for the rest of my life and nothing else matters, even though I literally know that this has been proven wrong a hundred times before.
20: What I hate most about myself
Where do I Start? This could be an essay not worth writing. Right now, I'd say I hate the fact my outlook on myself is limited. I have all the information I've gathered about myself from years in therapy and introspection yet I can't consciously put them all together because it feels that my vision is limited. It's frustrating that my brain does that and I hate it.
21: What I love most about myself
Sensitivity and the amount of consideration I have for how other people feel, even if I'm not always good at showing it. I'm also kind of wired towards experiencing things in the moment and feeling the emotions attached to everything and I like it. I love that I can at any moment stop and just appreciate the moment and the place in the world I am in. Mindfulness my beloved.
29: A reason I’ve lied to a friend
genuinely can't remember any recent instances? I lie to my parents plenty, but to friends? hm i told them yesterday i was just about to go eat dinner but there was a conversation topic and I ended up eating like two hours later but its not my fault time passes too quickly when I get caught up in something
32: What words upset me the most
"nobody cares" or just "shut up". makes me instantly withdraw from the conversation, even if it's said jokingly, unless its very clearly stated its a joke and I know the person well enough to know their intentions
41: Where I want to be right now
in a cafe working on writing. i might even go somewhere today, there's an amazing chai latte in costa coffee I'm in love with and I need to start on the tma bingo I have received!
44: A random fact about anything
since you asked, the new Starset album, Horizons, is incredible and if I can get you to listen to a song from it, listen to Icarus. I'm hhhhhh💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

BASICS
AGE: 18 (in game), over 20 (usually mid twenties) in most other verses BIRTHDAY: October 4th GENDER: Woman SEXUALITY: Good question. She doesn’t even know! I would probably classify her as bi/pansexual? She does have a preference for masculinity though. INTROVERT, EXTROVERT, OR OMNIVERT?: Omnivert HEIGHT: 5′8��� BODY TYPE: Slim, athletic, toned  EYES: Deep blue HEALTH: Healthy physically, although she could do with less sodium in her diet. Not so healthy mentally.  MEDICATION: Anti-depressants, occasional sleep aids. TEMPERAMENT: Quistis can be quite kind and easy-going, somewhat of a people-pleaser. However, she also puts her foot down when she’s had enough. She’s strong-willed and will not hesitate to tell people what they’ve done wrong and why, but criticism directed towards herself is not handled very well. She is prone to moodiness and self-doubt.
FAMILY:
FATHER: (Adoptive) A former politician, infertile. Somewhat of a decent man (as far as politicians go), focused on his career and family. He was very kind with Quistis and hoped the adoption would allow him and his wife to have a more normal-appearing family. It only caused their already unstable marriage to unravel further. He tried his best to keep Quistis from the chaos, but after a routine checkup as a part of the adoption contract, it was found that the household was unsuitable for Quistis, and both parties agreed to have her removed and sent to Garden. MOTHER:  (Adoptive) Started out as a reasonable woman, but became enticed by the prospect of having power through her marriage to a politician. When they tried for a child and could not have one, she felt as if it was her fault and that she was broken until tests revealed it was her husband that was infertile. She then began projecting her negative feelings onto him. Now he was broken. She agreed to the adoption, but when she saw how happy Quistis made her husband, it made her feel as if she had no real purpose in the family anymore so she resented her and made her life hell at every turn. Eventually, she became pregnant as a result of an affair, leading her husband to believe it was some kind of miracle and that they could finally have their own child. Until Quistis told him what happened. SIBLINGS: None. PARTNER: None. OFFSPRING: None. PETS: None, though she wouldn’t mind having a dog or cat eventually. 
ADDITIONAL:
SMOKES: No. DRINKS: On occasion, socially. DRUGS:  Marijuana once (on accident), though given its medical uses she would not be opposed. DIET: Very healthy foods, tries her best not to eat anything overly processed. She doesn’t eat much meat and would consider herself pescatarian. She does like seafood quite a lot, but eats it mostly on special occasions or on particularly bad days to cheer herself up. When it comes to flavor, Quistis likes very extreme flavors so things that are bitter or sour or sweet or spicy. She’s not so fond of things like bread for this reason, unless it’s used as a vessel for other flavorful foods (or if it’s a sweet bread). She really likes spicy food. Her tolerance for spice is nearly unmatched.  ALLERGIES/INTOLERANCE: slightly lactose intolerant, though she still eats ice cream occasionally TATTOOS: None. PIERCINGS: Ears pierced once. Almost got her belly button pierced but decided against it (she is very thankful for her hesitation)  JEWELRY: Usually her hair clips can be considered her ‘jewelry’ but she used to wear a necklace with a piece of round seaglass under her cadet uniform. It was given to her by Matron as a gift before she got adopted. When she returned to Garden, she wore it to remember her time before she left, hoping to forget the pain of the two years of her adoption (of course, she forgot it all). The necklace was lost long ago, but she is drawn to jewelry that looks like seaglass when she’s window shopping even though she has yet to make a purchase.  GLASSES/CONTACTS?: After an incident involving her discovery of her blue magic abilities, Quistis’s vision decreased. Laser Eye, if performed incorrectly, can do that to a person. So, she wears contacts when in battle and glasses off the field. Nowadays, she wears contacts most of the time. PERFUME?: Special occasions only. Most of the time, she relies on her soap, shampoo, and deodorant to smell nice. Scents she’s drawn to are mostly fresh and slightly floral, though she does like to have a little bit of a mature spice, wood, or leather once in a while. MISC:
DRIVES?:  Yes, and also pilots if needed. PARTIES?: The parties that Garden holds, including festivals, yes. House parties? .....maaaaybe. WRITES LOVE POETRY?:  No. CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY?: Yes! Although, she likes it to be a bit more low-key. FAVOURITE COLOUR?: Red, coral, peach. SLEEPS?:  Lightly. She’s used to having to be prepared to be alert so she wakes quite easily unless she’s somewhere she knows she’s safe. Then, she sleeps like a rock. When she gets to sleep deeply, she sleeps on her stomach with one leg bent and the other straight, her arms underneath her pillow. If she’s resting, she sleeps on her back with her arms folded over her stomach to be prepared for anything. HAS PLUSHIES? No. MUSIC TASTE?: Easy-listening, jazz, unique sounding vocals, stuff with a good beat. Not so fond of things that are overly complicated, noisy, or involve screaming. She’s not well-versed with music and how it works, so if someone were to have her listen to some classical masterpiece, don’t expect her to know much about it or to particularly care one way or another about it. It’s just music, doesn’t matter who made it and when. READS?:  Historical Fiction, Science-Fiction, Mystery/Thriller/Suspense, Fantasy, Romance. She’ll read just about anything. FONDEST CHILDHOOD MEMORY: She doesn’t remember enough about her childhood to pick out a memory she’d be the fondest of. Honestly, what little bits she remembers of her childhood are haphazardly stitched together in her mind so she wouldn’t be able to separate certain events from others. For all she knows, they could have all happened on the same day or in the same week despite having been at the orphanage for years. SINGS IN SHOWER?: No. Tagged by: @dogof-war Tagging: You! Reading this!

Loyalty to the Pack: Part 13
Pairing: John Seed x Joseph Seed x Reader x Jacob Seed
AUs: Omegaverse, werewolves
Warnings: Angst, fluff (kinda), references to self-hate, depression, anxiety, cursing, mentions of injuries and blood, mentions of self-harm, fighting, attempted suicide
Word Count: 2,121
A/N:  Thank you guys so much for being this patient for this chapter. I went through a lot of stuff in my personal life as of recent and I didn't have the energy or inspiration to write. But, now I’m back and I feel more inspired than ever! And like I promised, this is a Joseph and John oriented chapter. Jacob will get his moment very soon!  And like always, give me some feedback on what I could do better or what I did alright, where you wanna see this whole mess go, or something you just don’t understand.
Masterpost     My Omegaverse Rules
                                                          ---------
Tumblr media
   Blind rage began to bubble up as you cradled yourself to the cold, cracked, asphalt of the Hope County prison. Dirt scrapped against the palms of your hands as you clawed your way to the ground. The tears that you couldn’t hold back slowly trickled down your reddened face. You had no idea who you were mad at. The Deputy, God, or yourself. A little voice was echoing in the back of your mind, yelling over and over about how it was your fault.
   To think John had suffered without you was a stab to the heart. You had never thought in your life that you would be saddened over a mate, let alone John Seed. As a child, it was a mear crush that you could control. A simple blush and a hello were all you needed, but as you got older, things began to change. He began to grow from cute to handsome and maybe even sexy in your mind. 
   You had grown to care for him and even though you wanted to kill him when you were first announced as mates. He claimed a piece of your heart without you even knowing.
   You didn’t necessarily blame the Deputy. He did what he thought was right, just like everyone in Eden’s Gate. But the truth was that you had no idea who was the hero and who was the villain. Both sides had their advantages and disadvantages. 
   The Resistance gave freedom to its fighters. You could do what you wanted, bond with who you wanted, but they also had a habit of killing anyone in their way. Eden’s Gate gave people a purpose. A safe haven for wolves, but they take and take from Hope County. 
   This whole ordeal had washed away your rose-colored lenses of how life is fair, how God always looked out for the good and punished the bad. This was wrong. He didn’t care. This truth had turned your vision to black and white. If a God would let this happen to the soulmate he chose for you, is he truly a god? 
   Your (e/c) eyes turned to the cracked ground and saw the pebbles that cut into your hands. As you scrapped them off, small trickles of blood seeped from the cuts. You were too involved in watching the blood puddle drip onto Earth, much like the hallucination in the Bliss, to notice the heavy prison door creak closed. The Deputy cautiously walked down the cement stairs and his steel-toe boots quietly crunched on the ground. 
   The weight of almost killing a man hung heavy on his shoulders. From what Nick had explained to him, an Omega has this connection with their Alpha. If one person felt pain, emotional or physical, so would the other. (Y/N) would have definitely felt John’s emotions as he fell from Affirmation. Anger, defeat, fear. All of these must-have run through his smartass head as he fell to the ground.
   The smell coming from all around you was overwhelming. You knew this scent. It was the Deputy. Worry and guilt came off him in waves. You ground your teeth as you felt him get closer and closer. 
   The Deputy reached out a hand to you, ready to help you off the ground. “Don’t fucking touch me.” You barely said this above a whisper. Dep just came a little closer as he watched you shake more violently than before. Were you crying or angry? He honestly couldn’t tell. 
   “I’m… I’m sorry,” he whispered. He knew there was absolutely nothing he could do but beg for your forgiveness. People could forgive but not forget. 
   “If you’re so fucking sorry than go FUCK YOURSELF! JUST FUCKING DIE!!!!” You lashed out at him with what could only be described as primal rage. Your nails ripped his shorts, causing blood to trickle down his leg. The Deputy could only just stand there and take it as you lash out at him. Clawing at him with tooth and nail. Pushing him into the dirt. 
   All he could think was that he deserved it. Every scratch or bruise was punishment. He hardly knew you, but he felt a connection. If this was what you needed, then this was what he could do for you.
   “I understand what you’re going through, let me help.” Your (e/c) eyes seemed to turn red just for a second as your veins looked like they were going to burst. The Deputy felt like flinching as your hands formed a fist. You swung and socked him right at the jaw. His head was thrown back and another yellow bruise formed on his tan skin. 
   “You don’t fucking understand what it’s like! Being told what to believe, what to wear, or who to love! To be forced to be someone you don’t want to be. Unlike you, a werewolf is hardwired to be this way! I can’t choose who to mate, but I fall in love anyway! So, no. You don’t fucking know! If you want to help, take me to the nearest fucking bliss field!” The Deputy looked taken aback by the speech. This cult was worse than he thought.
   The Deputy carefully helped you up, his tan hand gently taking yours. You ripped your hand away with a growl and nudged him. He only gave a small smile as he led you out of the prison’s parking lot. He gave a whistle and the dog from earlier scampered up.
   He was quite cute with gray fur and black dots. His large brown eyes stared up at you as his tongue flew out of his mouth and lapped at your hand with a whine. “His name’s Boomer.” 
   Boomer cocked his head at the name and gave a floppy smile. You remember him from the ranch. He was with the deputy when you hid in the closet. The love of a dog was unmatched, especially a dog like Lexi. God, you missed her. Where ever she was, you hoped and prayed to the Father that she was safe. That dog was one of the only things you actually trusted, she was family. 
   “Come on Boomer.” The dog wagged his tail as the Deputy opened the door to the back seat of a truck. He happily jumped in and laid down on the smooth fabric
   The Deputy crossed the front of the truck and got into the driver’s side. You got in and slammed the door. If the Bliss got you into this mess then you need to get out of it. If you weren’t high off your mind, you could have helped John. There was no warning, or maybe there was. 
   The bunker, it was John’s bunker. And the blood… The bliss was trying to warn you. He was trying to warn you. Whether it was John or Joseph or Faith, or even God. You were warned. 
   Maybe Joseph was right. John was the start and you opened the seal. You were the lamb, not the Deputy. You were the world’s downfall and you had to pay. John didn’t have to hurt if you weren’t here. Maybe the world didn’t have to die. You weren’t the Mother, you were simply Wrath as John had said. 
   The truck came to an abrupt stop and you looked out the tinted window. A field of white bliss flowers swayed softly in the wind. It’s hard to think something so beautiful could cause so much destruction. 
   “Do you have any Molotov cocktails on you?” His brown eyes widened at the soft-spoken question. What were you going to do with Molotov cocktails? A twisting feeling began in the pit of his stomach as he reached for his side bag. He dug out two cocktails and a lighter. You hesitantly took them and took a deep breath. This was it, the end of the road. You opened the door and looked back at the Deputy. You gave him a nod and he drove off.
   You looked at the field and saw no one. They must have been at a sermon for John’s recovery. You should be there instead of running. You were a terrible Omega. You couldn’t even support your Alpha let alone live up to beta. You at least hoped Holly was with him. Someone he genuinely loved and cared for. 
   You looked down at the cocktails again and lit the lighter. You brought it to the alcohol-soaked cloth and threw it. The flowers went up in flames and black smoke flew into the air. You lit the other and dropped it at your feet. The dry grass fueled the fire as it began to heat up the air. The black smoke filled your lungs and throat. 
   You slowly brought your fingertips to the flame and your (s/c) skin blistered at its touch. Your Omega side screamed and hollered for you to pull away, but the pain felt good. It was the punishment you were looking for. Into Hell’s embrace.  
   Your eyes slowly fluttered shut as the smoke burned and you collapsed onto the burned flowers. A rustle was heard beyond the field as trucks pulled up. 
                                                          --
   Faith was helped out of the truck by Jacob as they both searched the field. This wasn’t Jacob’s territory, but he couldn’t help it. Joseph was with their younger brother and he had to be by his side. Faith was worried about the bliss. The Resistance had been going around burning fields left and right, but now it really got her attention. 
   “Umm, sir we found something.” A VIP yelled from across the field. Jacob wasted no time sprinting with Faith hot on his tail. He stopped dead in his tracks when he found you. His red face turned redder at the sight. 
   “Jacob is that…” Faith trailed off. She wasn’t expecting you among the bliss. Your eyes were shut and your chest wasn’t moving. Faith threw herself on the ground and placed her ear to your chest. No heartbeat. Her eyes began to water. 
   “Jacob…” Her voice was quiet as she looked up at her older brother. 
  “What Faith?!” He yelled, getting rather annoyed with her. He only took one look at you to know something was wrong. He crouched down to you and started to perform CPR. 
   “What do you want me to do? Can I help?” Faith and the other Peggies ran around like chickens with their heads cut off until Jacob’s voice boomed through the burning field.
   “I need you to calm the fuck down and listen. Faith, contact Joseph, I need a healer ready when we get to the compound. Don’t just stare at me! Move!” Faith had never seen Jacob so frantic before. He was usually the calm and lazy one. 
   The minutes that passed bye felt like hours as you finally started to cough up the ash and smoke you breathed in. “You had me worried there for a second kitten.” Jacob let out a dry chuckle as he slowly lifted you and carried you to the SUV. He sat you down next to Faith, who was too busy talking with someone over radio. 
   “Alpha…” The name escaped your dry lips as you shifted in your seat. Jacob gave a rare smile at you and looked at Lexi in the seat across from him. She looked less raggedy than before, having been well fed at the Veteran’s Center.
   “You need rest Omega.” He honestly didn’t care which Alpha you had ment. You were his Omega through and through. His to breed and savage. A strong Omega for a strong Alpha. If you were weak, you wouldn’t have survived. 
   When you finally arrived at Joseph’s compound, Jacob could finally be relieved. Gabriel carried you to Joseph’s ranch and Jacob went on the hunt for some hard liquor. If John visited, there was bound to be a stash somewhere.

Must Read Books
1. Ignited Minds by A.P.J Abdul Kalam
Authored by the most influential Indian President yet, this book delves into the obstacles that are preventing India from rising up to the challenge of development. India has unmatched talent and ambition with an inherent tendency to work hard, then what is it that keeps India from overtaking the world. Why does India as a nation settle for the ordinary when the extraordinary is well within the reach?
Dr. Kalam shares his dream of a nation that is unrivaled, he discusses how he has, from his experience, met such skilled people whose visions can transform the nation. It is imperative that one searches for own solutions and find role-models in countrymen instead of looking towards the other nations. India must not strive to be the next America or Japan but has to be the strong nation that she is capable of becoming. For this, all the trapped energies and initiatives need to be freed instead of suppressing them.
In the book, we are introduced to numerous role models that are hiding amongst us. Words of wisdom from saints and seers that the author encountered through his life have been quoted. The book proceeds to address the issues at hand and mentions some reforms that have to be incorporated in politics and policies. The policy making procedure of the nation requires major reforms. The youth has to be given a stage and the reins of the nation need to be passed on. The book motivates the young minds and forces the positive auras together to build the face of a new nation.
2. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY The Ultimate Guide to Supernatural Single Issue Magazine
ALL 12 SEASONS inside every episode - EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS with JENSEN, JARED and MISHA
3. The Maga Doctrine: The Only Ideas That Will Win the Future
The movement that brought Donald Trump to the White House has better ideas than the old right or the new left. It’s time that the rest of America started listening.
The Tea Party began as a protest for patriots who feared Big Government. President Trump has become a hero for patriots who are against Big Everything. 
Fed up with Silicon Valley, the media, liberal higher education, the military-industrial complex, Twitter mobs, swamp monsters, Big Pharma, out-of-control prosecutors, and gun-grabbing fascists, ordinary Americans miss the days when America cared about rule of the people, by the people, and for the people. Remember when you didn’t feel bombarded on all sides by coastal billionaires and their government stooges? The MAGA Doctrine urges an overdue restoration of self-rule by a populace long taken for granted by its rulers. 
Turning Point USA founder and social media superstar Charlie Kirk explains once and for all why a New York real estate magnate found an audience among young conservatives all over the country. Trump and his allies are working to protect all the small things that both parties dismissed: local businesses, families, churches, and the rights of the individual. Kirk explains why it took a reality TV superstar to see past the sclerotic and power-hungry institutions, from the United Nations and Google to Harvard and Viacom, working to crush real America. The Trump Doctrine is all about giving you a say in the future of America and a hand in making it happen. 
As the mainstream media keep churning out lies about the “real reasons” behind the new conservative agenda, Charlie Kirk’s The MAGA Doctrine is a powerful reminder of the true narrative of freedom and greatness that swept Donald Trump to the presidency.
4. Harry Potter Series - J.K. Rowling
A beautiful boxed set containing all seven Harry Potter novels in paperback. These new editions of the classic and internationally bestselling, multi-award-winning series feature instantly pick-up-able new jackets by Jonny Duddle, with huge child appeal, to bring Harry Potter to the next generation of readers. It's time to PASS THE MAGIC ON .
5. Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds by David Goggins
For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him The Fittest (Real) Man in America. In Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.
6. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
Paulo Coelho's enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world. This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and inspiring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself
7. Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday
As in the Obstacle is the way, Ryan holiday delivers practical and inspiring philosophy, this time exploring a powerful concept that runs back centuries, across borders and schools of thought: Ego. Ego is our biggest enemy. Early in our careers, it can prevent us from learning and developing our talents. When we taste success, ego can blind us to our own faults, alienate us from others and lead to our downfall. In failure, ego is devastating and makes recovery all the more difficult. It is only by identifying our ego, speaking to its desires and systematically disarming it that we can create our best work. Organised into bite-sized observations featuring characters and narratives that illustrate themes and life lessons designed to resonate, uplift and inspire, Ego is the Enemy shows how you can be humble in your aspirations, gracious in your success and resilient in your failures. It is an inspiring and timely reminder that humility and confidence are still our greatest friends when confronting the challenges of a culture which tends to fan the flames of ego and encourage the cult of personality at all costs.
8. The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
An Inspiration
The Holocaust was one of the most horrendous and terrible eras in history. Innumerable books have been written describing the horrors of the Holocaust; but nothing beats the documentation of a family who had gone into hiding in the diary of a little girl, Anne Frank. Honest, lucid and empathetic; The Diary of A Young Girl deserves a read by everyone who has ever questioned mental strength of humans and also by those who cannot come to terms with the cruelties that could be inflicted by humans upon fellow humans. The first entry in the diary is on June 12, 1942 by Anne Frank, who had received it as a birthday present and the entries in the diary end abruptly on 1 August, 1944.
The Underlying Themes
Anne Frank and her family lived a peaceful life in Frankfurt, Germany but they had to escape to Amsterdam with fellow Jews and go into hiding, as the Nazis took over Europe. Anne writes in her diary the tribulations her family had to face living in hiding, because they knew if caught, they would have to suffer horribly. The sufferance of the Jews during the Holocaust is known to all; yet a thirteen year old feeling the impact of intolerance and racism makes readers realise how profound the impacts of the World War II was.
What is most captivating is that amidst the terror and the fear, Anne manages to remain a cheerful girl full of life, who loved to talk and observe. Still a teenager and unaware of the horrors lurking behind their hiding space, Anne fails to realise the fear trapped within the hearts of elders initially and describes everyday events from the view of a teenager. As the story develops, Anne develops and realisation comes over her. The Nazis are getting more stringent and oppression rises; there are certain places in the book that leaves readers sad and distressed. One day, Anne's entire family including her, gets captured and the diary ends abruptly with the promise of a new day that never comes in the life of Anne Frank. Anne's father, Otto Frank, was the only one in the family who had managed to escape the concentration camps they were taken to and went on to make Anne's diary into a book.
Conclusion
The story of Anne Frank and the Frankfurt family is considered one of the most insightful accounts of the World War through the eyes of a young girl. The Diary of A Young Girl has been the subject of innumerable plays and movies. The original diary was published by Otto Frank in Dutch in 1947 and it was first translated to English in 1952, as The Diary of A Young Girl. Since then, it has been translated to more than sixty languages and people all over the world have read, loved and cried over the memoirs of Anne Frank.

10. Who painted my money white: When greed drives everything else and everything has a price by Sree Lyer
A ship carrying 2 containers, each containing Rs.5000 crores in 500- and 1000-rupee notes, docks in the dark of night at Kochi. The money is quickly distributed to members of a minority community using a network of 100 Chartered accountants. The bulk of the money finds its way back into fake firms, shell corporations, and charities with the sole aim of destabilizing the country. A DIABOLICAL PLAN BY THE FREEDOM PARTY TO WEAKEN INDIA Greedy politicians of the Freedom Party want to ensure that the opposition can never come to power. Pander to the largest minority, enrich them beyond their expectations and ensure they will be with the party. To this end, a plan is hatched to print high denomination money and try and increase the velocity of money, thereby creating the illusion of growth. A compromised Finance Minister is forced to buy paper from the same sources as India’s rival Pakistan. Their intelligence wing gets hold of the security threads being used in Indian notes through honey trapping and comes up with notes that are almost as good as the real ones. The fake money brought in slowly starts moving around the country, driving up inflation and real estate prices, mixing with good notes. Because of a series of scams, the government gets voted out and a single party (People’s Voice) gets an absolute majority. The new party responds to a terrorist attack with a surgical strike deep in the enemy territory.

Must Read Books
1. Ignited Minds by A.P.J Abdul Kalam
Authored by the most influential Indian President yet, this book delves into the obstacles that are preventing India from rising up to the challenge of development. India has unmatched talent and ambition with an inherent tendency to work hard, then what is it that keeps India from overtaking the world. Why does India as a nation settle for the ordinary when the extraordinary is well within the reach?
Dr. Kalam shares his dream of a nation that is unrivaled, he discusses how he has, from his experience, met such skilled people whose visions can transform the nation. It is imperative that one searches for own solutions and find role-models in countrymen instead of looking towards the other nations. India must not strive to be the next America or Japan but has to be the strong nation that she is capable of becoming. For this, all the trapped energies and initiatives need to be freed instead of suppressing them.
In the book, we are introduced to numerous role models that are hiding amongst us. Words of wisdom from saints and seers that the author encountered through his life have been quoted. The book proceeds to address the issues at hand and mentions some reforms that have to be incorporated in politics and policies. The policy making procedure of the nation requires major reforms.

3. The Maga Doctrine: The Only Ideas That Will Win the Future
The movement that brought Donald Trump to the White House has better ideas than the old right or the new left. It’s time that the rest of America started listening.
The Tea Party began as a protest for patriots who feared Big Government. President Trump has become a hero for patriots who are against Big Everything. 
Fed up with Silicon Valley, the media, liberal higher education, the military-industrial complex, Twitter mobs, swamp monsters, Big Pharma, out-of-control prosecutors, and gun-grabbing fascists, ordinary Americans miss the days when America cared about rule of the people, by the people, and for the people. Remember when you didn’t feel bombarded on all sides by coastal billionaires and their government stooges? The MAGA Doctrine urges an overdue restoration of self-rule by a populace long taken for granted by its rulers. 
Turning Point USA founder and social media superstar Charlie Kirk explains once and for all why a New York real estate magnate found an audience among young conservatives all over the country. Trump and his allies are working to protect all the small things that both parties dismissed: local businesses, families, churches, and the rights of the individual. Kirk explains why it took a reality TV superstar to see past the sclerotic and power-hungry institutions, from the United Nations and Google to Harvard and Viacom, working to crush real America. The Trump Doctrine is all about giving you a say in the future of America and a hand in making it happen. 
As the mainstream media keep churning out lies about the “real reasons” behind the new conservative agenda, Charlie Kirk’s The MAGA Doctrine is a powerful reminder of the true narrative of freedom and greatness that swept Donald Trump to the presidency.

7. Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday
As in the Obstacle is the way, Ryan holiday delivers practical and inspiring philosophy, this time exploring a powerful concept that runs back centuries, across borders and schools of thought: Ego. Ego is our biggest enemy. Early in our careers, it can prevent us from learning and developing our talents. When we taste success, ego can blind us to our own faults, alienate us from others and lead to our downfall. In failure, ego is devastating and makes recovery all the more difficult. It is only by identifying our ego, speaking to its desires and systematically disarming it that we can create our best work. Organised into bite-sized observations featuring characters and narratives that illustrate themes and life lessons designed to resonate, uplift and inspire, Ego is the Enemy shows how you can be humble in your aspirations, gracious in your success and resilient in your failures. It is an inspiring and timely reminder that humility and confidence are still our greatest friends when confronting the challenges of a culture which tends to fan the flames of ego and encourage the cult of personality at all costs.
8. The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
An Inspiration
The Holocaust was one of the most horrendous and terrible eras in history. Innumerable books have been written describing the horrors of the Holocaust; but nothing beats the documentation of a family who had gone into hiding in the diary of a little girl, Anne Frank. Honest, lucid and empathetic; The Diary of A Young Girl deserves a read by everyone who has ever questioned mental strength of humans and also by those who cannot come to terms with the cruelties that could be inflicted by humans upon fellow humans. The first entry in the diary is on June 12, 1942 by Anne Frank, who had received it as a birthday present and the entries in the diary end abruptly on 1 August, 1944.
The Underlying Themes
Anne Frank and her family lived a peaceful life in Frankfurt, Germany but they had to escape to Amsterdam with fellow Jews and go into hiding, as the Nazis took over Europe. Anne writes in her diary the tribulations her family had to face living in hiding, because they knew if caught, they would have to suffer horribly. The sufferance of the Jews during the Holocaust is known to all; yet a thirteen year old feeling the impact of intolerance and racism makes readers realise how profound the impacts of the World War II was.
What is most captivating is that amidst the terror and the fear, Anne manages to remain a cheerful girl full of life, who loved to talk and observe. Still a teenager and unaware of the horrors lurking behind their hiding space, Anne fails to realise the fear trapped within the hearts of elders initially and describes everyday events from the view of a teenager. As the story develops, Anne develops and realisation comes over her. The Nazis are getting more stringent and oppression rises; there are certain places in the book that leaves readers sad and distressed. One day, Anne's entire family including her, gets captured and the diary ends abruptly with the promise of a new day that never comes in the life of Anne Frank. Anne's father, Otto Frank, was the only one in the family who had managed to escape the concentration camps they were taken to and went on to make Anne's diary into a book.
Conclusion
The story of Anne Frank and the Frankfurt family is considered one of the most insightful accounts of the World War through the eyes of a young girl. The Diary of A Young Girl has been the subject of innumerable plays and movies. The original diary was published by Otto Frank in Dutch in 1947 and it was first translated to English in 1952, as The Diary of A Young Girl. Since then, it has been translated to more than sixty languages and people all over the world have read, loved and cried over the memoirs of Anne Frank.

10. Who painted my money white: When greed drives everything else and everything has a price by Sree Lyer
A ship carrying 2 containers, each containing Rs.5000 crores in 500- and 1000-rupee notes, docks in the dark of night at Kochi. The money is quickly distributed to members of a minority community using a network of 100 Chartered accountants. The bulk of the money finds its way back into fake firms, shell corporations, and charities with the sole aim of destabilizing the country. A DIABOLICAL PLAN BY THE FREEDOM PARTY TO WEAKEN INDIA Greedy politicians of the Freedom Party want to ensure that the opposition can never come to power. Pander to the largest minority, enrich them beyond their expectations and ensure they will be with the party. To this end, a plan is hatched to print high denomination money and try and increase the velocity of money, thereby creating the illusion of growth. A compromised Finance Minister is forced to buy paper from the same sources as India’s rival Pakistan. Their intelligence wing gets hold of the security threads being used in Indian notes through honey trapping and comes up with notes that are almost as good as the real ones. The fake money brought in slowly starts moving around the country, driving up inflation and real estate prices, mixing with good notes. Because of a series of scams, the government gets voted out and a single party (People’s Voice) gets an absolute majority. The new party responds to a terrorist attack with a surgical strike deep in the enemy territory. Pakistan decides to retaliate by flooding India with fake currency, by tripling its fake currency production. India responds by demonetizing the 500- and 1000-rupee notes and printing new notes of a different size. But despite the best attempts, a porous border with Nepal and Bangladesh results in a significant amount of the fake currency entering Indian banks. When the notes were tallied, instead of 87% of printed notes coming back to the Reserve Bank, 113% comes!
