Hallo, Hallo dear hearts,
I am not entirely sure if everyone who reads my blog is aware of my admiration for Jane Austen or the fact, I consider myself a #Janeite. I have loved the author's style of narrative for many years, in fact, I wrote an Essay about it during 2017's #AustenInAugust and couldn't help but gush over the reading of the first novel in this trilogy as well.
What implored me truly to read this after canon selection on a theory of Jane Austen's life is my affection for the author herself. I love reading after canon works based on her collective works but I also like to entertain readings of stories which relate directly to the writer, herself. Previously, I have explored this through the Jane Austen Mysteries a series I look forward to re-visiting, as I hadn't had the time to re-read the first novel nor continue with the rest of the stories which followed suit. This was initially my goal whilst reading the first volume in this series – however, in the past few years, my readings of Austen Literature has taken a few interesting hiatuses.
Whilst noting this is a novel of an evolving theory based on what 'could have been' in accord to Ms Austen's life, I felt it warranted exploring because after all, how much do any of us know about the Classical authors we love to read? In this, I had a curious thought – what if this novel had a foundation of grounding based on one of the author's own works? This is something which came into better clarity as I read the novel directly and one in which, I had wondered if other readers on the blog tours had noted themselves.
Directly though – I was dearly curious to continue reading this series due to these
ruminative thoughts I had shared after finishing Volume Two:
As I re-entered Jane's life as a married woman, I was happy to find Cassandra was beside her, news of the Napoleonic War held good news for her family (especially in regards to her brother) whilst her new life was still one she was settling into accepting. Ashton provided a step-up in social standing for Jane, including how they lived and what they had within their environs. You can see her a bit uncertain how to handle the luxuries of this life compared to what she was used to previously with the Austens, who lived a humbled existence.
Jane is the newly minted Mrs Dennis in the household – a duty and station which comes with a litany of obligation, responsibility and a foresight of understanding for social trademarks for a hostess. It is here where we first start to notice how Jane's own upbringing fell short of what she would have to endure as a married woman. How her mother-in-law wouldn't hesitate to point out her faults and where her sister Cassandra would provide a moral anchour to her nerves. It is here we find Jane attempting to do the biding of her husband but without the fuller knowledge of what a disaster it could become if she would blindly follow his advice without taking into consideration the suggestions of his mother, the other 'Mrs Dennis'.
It is interesting to see how Jane would approach married life – how she is open to discussing things with Ashton or of finding ways to engage him in the romantic gestures she endeavours to instigate. Nothing is seen as this was inspired by Jane Austen and thus, Hemingway happily kept her style of narrative intact without deviating out of the tastefulness of a romance which made her infamous for the genre; yet what was interesting is how he gave a bit of freedom of expression to both Jane and Ashton. They were happily enjoying their married lives – all facets of it but most importantly the ways in which they were endearing each other in their more intimate moments.
There is a bit of cheeky humour threading into the backbone of this installment – how Jane is reflectively musing about how she's surprised at how natural being a married woman has come to her and how she enjoys being with her husband. There are other sides to Jane as well, such as the woman who is not yet ready to lead a household but of whom, is attempting to remain outside her comfort zone if it means improving her connection to her husband, her staff and her mother-in-law. This is a story of growth – of seeing Jane move away from her years of youth and of embracing this new chapter where she is writing the hours as they arrive.
As Jane started to see how marriage loomed ahead of her, her one regret truly was the lack of hours in which to be creatively engaged with her pen. She spoke of this to Ashton, of whom did not see why she was upset (not really, though he attempted to try) as she had chosen to be with him, to be a wife and to have responsibilities that would naturally come out of the union. Quite a typical response, except that it fell short of realising from a husband's perspective, how sometimes a woman in a marriage was not realising they were sacrificing a part of themselves for the sake of being with the man they loved. I think in this instance, Jane had become caught inside the romance and hadn't fully thought about how her life might become altered if she followed course.
A lot of truth in those worries of Jane as I readily observe how not all husbands are supportive of their wives (especially if their writers) and how it would appear that women are still even now needing to defend why they write or why they want to be economically engaged outside of their marriage. This was a moment of reckoning for Jane, as it wasn't just putting aside her desires to write which plagued her conscience but certain aspects of marriage itself; which also acted as a conflict with how she was raised and the more sheltering views of being a clergy's daughter.
Similarly, Hemingway was not shy to highlight the other tensions in their marriage – such as the blunderment Ashton made in deference to Jane in private conversation. It shows how he was effectively examining their marriage from an outside vantage point which had the pleasure of seeing the more intimate moments of their private hours. In thus, he pulled back the layers of what was shielding them from the outside world – drawing them out, letting them reveal their raw emotional thoughts and to speak plainly how they felt about not just one another but the topical issues of their era. They were together for most things but they struck a chord apart on deeper issues I think bemused both of them to notice they truly were two passionate souls who each had their own individual mind. To which end, there were some aspects of their disagreements which were worth owning and there were others worth realising they would never agree on the finer points which separated them.
They do remain united in their ability to draw back together after their differences are shed – for they have a strong marriage built out of trust and truthfulness. It is through their discussions they realise certain aspects of their business and their personal lives are coming to a head of discourse. They cannot continue to engage in partnerships which go against their own minds and hearts which reflect the current events – from slavery to the promise of war, they are keeping on the fringes of what is reflective in the papers. This causes disruptions for them naturally but at the heart of their marriage is a union sparked out of love and united in a fond respect for each other, the world at large and the auspicious emblems of living a life with ethical morals.
As we peer more into Jane and Ashton's world as a married couple, we start to see how difficult it is for both of them – how they must learn to yield to one another and draw a closer circle of strength to tackle what is awaiting them. There is a joyful revelation in this installment – one that further enlarges our scope of understanding for how Jane is fully lit alive by her experiences as a wife and how by embracing these subtle changes she is finding herself radically new and altered. Jane is happily introspective throughout the story – owning to her pursuit to understand herself and her environment but also, to acknowledge how each new year of a life lived is a chance to see the milestones of the experiences you've gained.
This particular installment ends on a happy note but one which is guarded for the future – for not everything is certain and there are a few key reasons for Ashton and Jane to feel as if the future yet to come might prove to be far more taxing than the hours that they have just passed through. It is a keenly intriguing series and one I hope more Janeites discover as it truly is a unique testimony about how a modern writer can re-tap into the life of Jane and bring her out so wholly original and true of her person to give us a near-living testimony of how she would have lived had she taken the paths and passageways he's explored in this trilogy.
It is hard to put into words how much this trilogy has taken up a cosy niche of joy in my heart – as I first started reading this beautiful sequence of Jane Austen's life in January 2018. The past two years has given me a lot of heartfelt joy to reconnect to Austen in a plausible and believable way of re-introducing myself into her world and the ways in which this sequence of her life could have been lived. I have felt from the start, Hemingway himself was channelling a special entreaty into her life and world – the ways in which he instinctively knew how to write about her innermost thoughts, the way he tucked in letters and correspondences into the trilogy and how he captured the heart of the Regency as an era and background to the story itself.
His capacity to tell this story has been a heartwarming experience for me and I am truly thankful I could close out 2019 with reading the finale installment which brings our experiences with Jane in this beautiful trilogy to a close.
The Mariage of Miss Jane Austen

#FolkloreThursday Author Q&A | Inspired by #Mythothon, Jorie interviews Glenn Searfoss about his "Cycles of Norse Mythology"
Posted Thursday, 10 October, 2019 by jorielov Acorn Press, Andrews UK Limited, Cycles of Norse Mythology, Glenn Searfoss 0 Comments
Hallo, Hallo dear hearts!
Today is going to be an interestingly conversational day here on Jorie Loves A Story, as I am going to be discussing where #Mythothon2 took me along my immersive literary journey into the folds of Mythology as I entreat into different avenues of Mythos each year [since November, 2018].
This also marks the first time I've been able to feature a topic of interest for #FolkloreThursday – happily finding others are tweeting about #NorseGods & #NorseMythology – which will make my visits round the blogosphere today quite happily contented knowing I am not the only reader who is dearly curious about this particular subject of interest!
For [2019] we turnt our collective eyes onto Norse Mythologies and the folklore or legends which surround the Norse Mythos canon both in the original context of the stories themselves and/or in the after canon variants which have populated literature since they were first known.
I previously disclosed the discovery of a wicked sweet tome of a book entitled: Cycles of Norse Mythology writ by Glenn Searfoss – which happily became a title for review consideration just ahead of the start date for #Mythothon2 which was the 1st of September.
During today's #WWWednesday update, I'll be disclosing where I am in my Mythological readings but on this special Q&A post, I'll be talking more directly about what it is about Cycles of Norse Mythology which are enticing me into the deeper aspects of the book's message whilst I start to navigate through the Norse Myths as a new reader who doesn't quite have her full bearings but is learning per each new chapter, paragraph and cycle she is reading!
For those who would like to read early reviews for Cycles of Norse Mythology – here are some examples of the kind of literary feedback & reflective takeaways being shared with Mr Searfoss as readers are endeavouring to condense their reactions on this beautiful narrative tome of over 800+ pages of interconnected stories & cycles!
Seattle Book Review : Reviewed by Elizabeth Konkel -"Glenn Searfoss puts a fresh take on old tales about Norse gods, warriors, and men through new stories about beginnings and battle…. Searfoss brilliantly captures the voice of ancient Norse myths through a stunning writing style and characters who deliver astonishing tales about the time of gods and creation…. Cycles of Norse Mythology honors the style of Norse myths with an original voice, beloved characters, and addictive stories all ages can enjoy." (see also full review)
The Wishing Shelf – "A gripping set of Norse myths written with a gold-tipped pen. Accessible, gripping and highly recommended.
….I opened Cycles of Norse Mythology hoping for a number of things. Firstly, a writing style that would bring to life the deeds of the Norse gods, making them accessible to modern readers. Secondly, characters of old that jump – yes, literally jump – off the page. And, thirdly, a text that would not only be of interest to scholars of Norse mythology, but also to anybody who is simply looking for a good book. And, I'm delighted to say that this ticked every box." (see also full review)
Readers' Favorite – "Author Glenn Searfoss has provided a loving recollection of the Norse mythology tales in a very compelling and engaging style for readers of all ages…. As a primer for readers looking to take in all the stories with ease, you should look no further than Cycles of Norse Mythology. A highly recommended read for mythology fans all around."
Readers' Favorite: Reviewed by Ray Simmons – "My first contact with Norse mythology was The Mighty Thor comic book published by Marvel Comics. That is a great place to start but Glenn Searfoss has taken me to a whole new level with Cycles of Norse Mythology…. This book is a treasure trove, and Glenn Searfoss deserves a seat in Valhalla next to Odin himself for putting together this magnificent book. I loved it and I'm sure many of you will too."
Readers' Favorite: Reviewed by Christian Sia – "Transporting, exciting, and utterly entertaining, Cycles of Norse Mythology: Tales of the Æsir Gods by Glenn Searfoss plunges the reader into the world of mythology and puts them into the company of powerful characters, gods, and heroes…. The beauty of the prose, the elegance of style, and the seduction in the narrative voice; powerful elements that make readers feel as though these stories were taking place inside their souls. Glenn Searfoss takes readers to a mythical place and leaves them at the end feeling as though they awoke from beautiful dreams." (see also full reviews from Readers' Favourite)
Author Q&A with Glenn Searfoss (Cycles of Norse Mythology)
Subtitle: Tales of the AEsir Gods
by Glenn Searfoss
Source: Direct from Author
Edda's and Sagas of the Northland recount epic struggles for control of the world. In this land lost amid the cycles of time, canny gods confront shrewd giants, while valiant heroes battle honorable foes.
Cycles of Norse Mythology takes the reader on a thrilling exploration of the Norse Universe as the Gods and Giants are exposed in their complex interactions. From the creation of the world to its violent ending, this comprehensive re-imagining breathes life and modern relevance into the Norse gods and their foes, while remaining faithful to the traditional myths. Through engaging, lyrical storytelling, this work presents the gripping adventures of the Norse Gods in a style to delight modern readers of all ages.
Cycles of Norse Mythology comprises six cycles of 100+ interconnected stories that encompass the entire breadth of Norse Mythology. All tales are extended to create greater tension between the reader and the characters. Sequence gaps are filled by interpolations based on cross references in classic and modern literature.
→ Cycle 1: Prophesy. Odin travels the dark road to Niflhel seeking knowledge from the withered lips of the long dead seeress. In this frozen land, he is forged to his purpose by the harsh lashings of the seeress as she relates the creation stories of the cosmos, the nine worlds, the sun and moon, day and night, the origin of giants, dwarves, elves, mankind, and the gods themselves.
→ Cycle 2: The Victory Gods. Returned to Asgard, Odin learns the truth of prophecy and the ultimate cost of purpose. As the Æsir expand their number and their power, Gullveig's brutal death at their hands sparks a bloody war with a rival clan, the Vanir; their eventual truce unifies the godheads in an uneasy alliance. Post-war rebuilding introduces the primary gods and goddesses, along with the Einherjar, valorous warriors gathered from battlefields across Midgard. Meanwhile, Thor's martial journeys into Jotunheim underscore the constant tension with the offspring of Ymir.
→ Cycle 3: The Sword of Vengeance. Accompany the fiery blade born of love and hate that is destined to play a pivotal role in the shaping of the Norse universe, through the tragedies of Volund its creator, Nidud king of the Njara who is ordered by the Odin to capture the blade, and Svipdag the chosen son of man fated to recover its keen edge, and who ultimately gifts it to the Æsir for his marriage to Fryeja .
→ Cycle 4: Premonitions. Victory, jealousy, and revenge follow the Æsir gods and goddesses as they seek to avert their ultimate fate. The Fenris wolf is tricked and bound. Baldur's death sends shudders through the nine worlds as innocence dies and the first portents of Ragnarök begin to align. Vali, fresh born from his mother's womb, slays Baldur's hapless killer. Freyr gives away the Sword of Vengeance for a bride; an ill-fated gift which ultimately finds its way into the hands of Surt at Ragnarök. Loki's devious and sometimes, vicious attempts to humble the gods highlight the strife and dissent of within the Æsir clan and result in his horrible punishment.
→ Cycle 5: Ragnarök. Unable to avoid the final confrontation, the Æsir gather their band of chosen warriors and prepare for battle. The rainbow bridge shatters as ancient enemies charge onto Vigrid Plain, eager to end the reign of the victory gods. Follow the fortunes of the primary combatants as they boldly face known defeat, the Æsir goddesses awaiting their fate in the great hall of Fensalir, and the remnants of mankind who survive to greet the dawn.
→ Cycle 6: Of Gods and Men. While Cycles 1-5 focused on interactions among the gods, this cycle encompasses stories of direct interaction between the Æsir gods and mankind. These stories contrast human folly with the morality inherent in Norse Mythology.
→ Glossary: Norse Mythology heralds from an era when names reflected the character attributed to an object, such as a weapon, a person's character, or their current station in life. This glossary provides a quick reference to the meaning behind names and terms used in the book.
→ Source Reference: References for further reading are included for persons who want to delve deeper into the study of Norse Mythology. This bibliography is restricted to books published in or translated into English and is by no means, exhaustive. As with all resources, the harder and longer you look, the more there is to be found.

Without having any conception of how to enter into a reading of Norse Mythology, I still attest the serendipitous moment in which this book crossed my path in late August. Having said that – what I loved most about how Searfoss approached writing this [storied] novel in six different acts of insight into the back-histories of the Norse legacies interwoven through this concentration of Classical Mythology is how he aided your journey with keen insight into how to write a descriptive arc of story whilst grounding it with a catalyst attached to his lead character (Odin) who is not necessarily the kind of bloke you want to feel attached but of whom is an unreliable narrator of a story because he is more antagonist than he is a leading gent or hero.
As you might have noted in the synopsis of Cycles of Norse Mythology – Searfoss created six cycles of influence, intellectual dissection and creative exploration for his book. After thanking his wife and their family of dogs who have taken this journey with him – a sentiment I smiled after as I understood how attached we all become to our companions in fur; canine or feline inclined; he moved into the Content List and the List of Acknowledgements of the collective works which not only inspired this edition of Norse Mythological stories but of how he understood the back-histories of the mythos itself.
Immediately you dive into the first cycle of "Prophecy" after a delightfully ancient image which reminded me of the totem poles of Alaska's Native population. And, thus your journey inward to seek the Mythology and the stories begins as any other novel would present itself to you. Except in my particular case, I had chanting, drums and an ethereal sound journey evoking itself in the background re-pleat with lightning, thunder and other interesting bits of inclusive ambience which not only centred my journey but anchoured me to the aspect I was journeying somewhere wickedly new and exciting.

Book Review | "Queen's Gambit" (Margaret Harkness and Arthur Conan Doyle series, Book Two) by Bradley Harper In this sequel to "A Knife in the Fog" Doyle is not the centre of focus, Margaret Harkness takes the lead!
Posted Wednesday, 18 September, 2019 by jorielov Bradley Harper, Margaret Harkness and Arthur Conan Doyle series, Queen's Gambit, Seventh Street Books 0 Comments
Acquired Book By: I am a reviewer for Prometheus Books and their imprints starting in [2016] as I contacted them through their Edelweiss catalogues and Twitter. I appreciated the diversity of titles across genre and literary explorations – especially focusing on Historical Fiction, Mystery, Science Fiction and Scientific Topics in Non-Fiction. However, their imprints Seventh Street Books & Pyr were merged into Start Publishing in [2019] – wherein I had the pleasure of being approached by their new publicity team via Kaye Publicity in Spring 2019 wherein I was first introduced to the Spice Shop Mysteries as I was told about a forthcoming release [for June] was "Chai Another Day". From there, I started to work with Kaye Publicity to continue reviewing Seventh Street Book titles and author releases I am both familiar with and/or are considered "new authors" to my readerly life.
As an aside, despite the fact Seventh Street Books has been bought out by Smart Publishing – all links to their website and social accounts have remained active and use the same urls. The new publisher has maintained all their sites and thereby, the transition was seamless for readers who wanted to keep in touch with the authors and the series they come to love by Seventh Street Books & Pyr!
I received a complimentary copy of "Queen's Gambit" direct from the publisher Seventh Street Books (an imprint of Start Science Fiction) in exchange for an honest review. I did not receive compensation for my opinions or thoughts shared herein.
On what I enjoyed in the pages of "A Knife in the Fog":
This novel begins the series introducing us to all the key characters – from Professor Bell, to Arthur Conan Doyle and Margaret Harkness. As the series progresses forward – the characters shift in focus & share the lead.
A reflectively pensive voice gives us the impression the following account of an investigation into the Ripper murders of East London was in effect not only of profound impact on the narrator of this story (of whom I presumed immediately was Conan Doyle) but was in reality, an important marker of time for this person. It envelopes itself into a pertinent relationship of mind and arms; of a person who not only of equal mirth of enquiry and investigative instincts but of common interests and conveyances which were equally dynamic in their own rights. It is here – within the fragmented touchstones of what is yet to come where you start to distinguish the 'voice' of the novel A Knife in the Fog to being very decisively Holmesian.
Doyle, similar to Holmes does not suffer fools gently nor does he wish his personal or professional time to be waylaid but people who are less than honest with him on first meeting. It is here where you can infer how much Harper was researching his protagonist not just as the subject study to influence his own series but how Doyle himself could embody a lot of the characteristics we've all come to love in our beloved Holmes; than thus even more readily, it would be Harper who gives us a fuller advantage of seeing the inspiration behind Watson. The interesting bit here is of whom was the inspiring force behind both characters as your own mind might have readily adapted itself to thinking it was Doyle to Holmes and Dr Bell to Watson when the reality of the truth is a bit more intriguing to say the least! For my own capacity of interest – I did vacillate at first to make the distinction myself – as there are aspects of both men within both characters, however, there are firm clues towards whom is whom so to speak throughout the narrative Harper has delivered leading to the truer truth behind the designation of which current characters elude to the infamous ones!
Finding little details of historical influence and relevancy like this uncomfortable reaction in Doyle made it a joy to read A Knife in the Fog – as there are other small touches of where the past feels ever-present and where the narrative has a lovely tone and style of being decidedly British and Historical in scope. I believe it is this kind of detailed fine tuning in the story which help alight you into the era we're being presented – it is lovely when you can find writers who are going the extra mile to give us a presentation of an era which we can find plausible and believable like what Mr Harper has done within his series. Although some of his words and phrasing is wickedly British, he does revert back to writing this in an American voice – I would have preferred it to be more British in the choices of words but blessedly it felt British by how he conveyed the backdrop of the setting and how he approached our immersion into Doyle's life.
I, on the other hand, took an immediate liking to Margaret – she was her own person, owning her truths and her way of life with the confidence you'd expect from a woman of her nature. She did not apologise for her choices in life (nor should she) and she had an upper edge against Doyle as his presumptive assumptions about her were loudly present even if they were left unsaid aloud. Harkness is the kind of no-nonsense woman who was game for anything and had this zest for believing she could accomplish whatever she needed to simply due to the courage she had to believe in herself. Ironically, her dedication and her fortitude seemed lost on Doyle – at least at this first crossing of their paths.
You truly appreciate how Harper has sharpened our impression of Harkness, as my favourite passage which involves her and Doyle at this junction of the story is when she saves him from a would-be robber. The event itself isn't a spoiler for the story but it is a clear representation of how foiled Doyle was in thinking he would have held an upper hand in this situation. I love how Harkness not only re-proves the point about how women can be independently secure in their beings but also be resourceful enough to intervene whenever danger arises. It was a classy look at how misconceptions in gender and how unnecessary misunderstandings within the classes of gender can put undo judgement against people. I personally felt it was a rather fitting sequence as it set a tone for how Doyle would view Harkness and how Harkness would become endeared to the reader.
I had a feeling I knew where A Knife in the Fog was directing me in regards to whom would become unmasked as the Ripper. Harper did something quite classic in how he developed the story-line, the characters and the persons of whom they encountered along the route of the story as it shifted forward – he kept you close to the dialogue, the discoveries and the case as it evolved through the investigation. All of which is brilliantly within the guise of the genre this story is set but he also did a hat trick from a magician's bag of tricks – he re-directed your attention away from something you might have clued in on more readily if you weren't equally distracted from addressing what it was you thought you had picked up on earlier in the story! Laughs. I actually was quite impressed how long the suspense lasted as it takes you straight (almost!) to the concluding chapters to where Harper knits together the conclusion (some) readers might not expect to be the solution to the mysterious identity of the Ripper. I, for one, felt it was a right proper choice – it staid within the scope of the journey we took walking beside Conan Doyle, Harkness and Bell whilst it also eluded to a reality you could find believable about this infamous case of crime.
It is in the final chapter wherein I felt reconnected to Conan Doyle – as for me, he held within his character (within the scope of the series) a bit more Holmesian attributes than I think Harper even realised he had etched into his nature. He might have meant for us to view Doyle differently but in the final chapter, there was a brilliant moment of recognition and also quiet acceptance of how this characterisation of Conan Doyle was a classic representation of why I have loved Sherlock Holmes. It is fitting truly, Harper has found his voice in fiction to be fulfilling a missing gap in stories which I believe the real Conan Doyle would have appreciated had he lived to see their publication.

Subtitle: A Mystery Featuring Margaret Harkness
by Bradley Harper
Spring, 1897. London. Margaret Harkness, now in her early forties, must leave England for her health but lacks the funds. A letter arrives from her old friend Professor Bell, her old comrade in the hunt for Jack the Ripper and the real-life inspiration for Sherlock Holmes.
Bell invites her to join him in Germany on a mysterious mission for the German government involving the loss of state secrets to Anarchists. The resolution of this commission leads to her being stalked through the streets of London by a vengeful man armed with a powerful and nearly silent air rifle who has both Margaret and Queen Victoria in his sights. Margaret finds allies in Inspector James Ethington of Scotland Yard and his fifteen-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, who aspires to follow in Margaret's cross-dressing footsteps.
The hunt is on, but who is the hunter, and who the hunted as the day approaches for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee when the aged empress will sit in her open carriage at the steps of St Paul's Cathedral? The entire British Empire holds its breath as the assassin, Margaret, and the Queen herself play for the highest of stakes with the Queen's Gambit.

Indian budget carriers take lead on fare cap after Nepal earthquake
By Neelam Mathews →
The earthquake that ripped Nepal on 25 April measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale reaffirmed the relationship of close neighbors, India and Nepal, which share a common culture.
Credit: IndiGo
The 1,850km stretch of open border between the two countries has resulted in a long tradition of free movement of their people. India's high spending tourists also comprise the majority of Nepal's inbound visitors. The approximately 600,000 Indians who live/are domiciled in Nepal include businessmen, traders, doctors, engineers, IT personnel, and labor in the construction sector. It's admirable that Indian carriers and the military would act with alacrity as soon as the disaster struck.
Battling bedlam and logistics – or lack of them – at Nepal's only international airport in capital Kathmandu following the devastating earthquake that killed over 5,000 and still counting, India's airlines have done themselves proud.
Ironically, budget carriers IndiGo and SpiceJet, known for their conservative attitude towards freebies, took the lead by capping fares between Kathmandu to Delhi from between $60-$110 on the regular one-way fare of $150. Relief materials are being flown free of charge.
Social media has played a big role in keeping passengers in touch with the latest changes as CEOs tweeted frantically, and received words of encouragement from fellow tweeters. "We all have the power to change," tweeted Aditya Ghosh, CEO IndiGo. Sanjiv Kapoor COO of SpiceJet ironed out issues being faced by relief workers flying to the quake-hit capital of Nepal. He also assured people that inspection of the runway that had developed a crack on the first day of the quake had been completed and it was safe. All in all, the efforts have been laudatory.
For the past four days, SpiceJet has been flying three daily flights. And not surprisingly, they have been full.
While there is no commitment for airlines to carry out relief flights by India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), "capping fares is a decent thing to do", an official of a budget carrier told RGN. He added that clearances for non-scheduled flights were done on an urgent basis by the DGCA. He confessed that while crisis management at the airline was strategized for accidents and delays, this is the first time they had to deal with a catastrophe such as this.
With telecommunications links down, the situation tested the mettle of pilots, air traffic controllers, and airline managers. Airlines often had to rely on second hand information on the status of the runway and weather through their regional managers, Kapoor told RGN.
The airline is the only carrier from India that is permitted to operate night landing to Kathmandu. IndiGo was given special permission following the quake.

Constant after-shocks that continue even today, unreliable weather, congestion, lack of parking facilities, confusion and often a lack of coordination between the Nepal authorities is leading many carriers to circle the airport and often turn back and return after a few hours. The situation has become so dire that many international relief flights have been asked not to land in Kathmandu.
Congestion is leading to chaos. Indian carriers are offering refundable fares. As a result, passengers are making multiple bookings in the hope of catching the first flight out should there be rescheduling. Because of multiple bookings, airlines have to fly back sometimes with a 50% load factor.
Meanwhile, IndiGo says its passengers are being greeted by the captain-in-command and the crew onboard with chocolates "as a small gesture from IndiGo – which was well appreciated by them". Sometimes little things mean a lot!
"Nepal is a country that has given us many fond memories growing up. In our younger days…it was where we went to buy imported jeans and fancy school supplies. Nepal was like Switzerland to Indians, a land romanticized in our cinema," recalls Rajeev Kohli Jt, managing director of Delhi-based Creative Travels.
One hopes soon, this nightmare will be behind us and this Shangri-La of lakes and sensory treks will return to its former glory.

HomeGeneral WellnessAshwagandha: A versatile rejuvenator.
Ashwagandha is one of the most versatile herbs in Ayurveda and revered for its rejuvenating and restorative benefits. Often referred as 'Indian ginseng', Ashwagandha is believed to impart the vigor and strength of a stallion, and has traditionally been prescribed as a general tonic to increase energy, improve overall health and vitality.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a small, evergreen woody shrub with yellow flowers & red fruits and grows wildly in all drier parts of Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and North-western plains of India. Popularly known as 'Winter cherry' in English, the herb is known as "Asgandha' in Hindi, Gujarati, Kashmiri, Urdu & Panjabi, Angarberu in Kannada, 'Amukkuram' in Gujarati, 'Pennerugadda' in Telugu, and 'Amukkaramkizangu'in Tamil. Traditionally, the roots are extensively used across most parts of South Asia for its diverse medicinal value.
Classified as 'Rasayana' in Ayurveda, Ashwagandha is attributed to have anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, calming, immunity boosting, arresting the ageing process, revitalizing the body in debilitated conditions, augmenting body's ability to resist harmful effects of stress, and creating a sense of mental wellbeing. Here's how the herb's properties work for your body's benefit.
Anti-stress: Chronic stress has immense negative effects on the body and mind. It can lead to fatigue, headaches, muscle pains, impaired metabolism, stomach upsets, lowered ability to fight infections & disease, hormonal imbalance, sexual dysfunction, impaired fertility levels, anxiousness, inability to focus and long standing problems of heart and blood vessels.
Ashwagandha works as a potent adaptogen that which modulates your response and helps the body cope with stress. Researches and observations about the ameliorative effects of Ashwagandha were validated through a series of clinical studies on chronically stressed individuals. Subjects felt noticeable improvement in fatigue, loss of appetite, headache, anxiousness, palpitations, dry mouth, sleeplessness, forgetfulness, in ability to concentrate and irritability. There was marked improvement in blood pressure, pulse rate and stress-related hormonal secretions in the blood.
Rejuvenate and Anti-oxidant: Ashwagandha has been in use since centuries as a general health tonic with rejuvenative properties making oneself feel stronger and healthier. Known for its ability to improve energy, endurance and stamina, Ashwagandha is traditionally used to restore strength in general debility and chronic illness. This herb is said to have powerful antioxidants that is responsible for its anti-stress, cognitive-facilitating, anti-aging effects.
Immunomodulatory: Ashwagandha has profound effects on strengthening body's defense against infections and diseases.
To state the obvious – this packet of power may well be the antidote to a number of stress-related problems we face today!

Tackling the Impossible as a Thought Leader
Albert Einstein, content marketing, Simon Sinek, TED, TedX, Temple Grandin, Thomas Edison, thought leader
How do you cut through a noisy world not just as an expert, but as a thought leader? A thought leader is one who has the ability to make an impact and is known for something. If you are an artist or creative, it may be difficult to define that one thing you are known for as if you're like me, you keep creating. But there is usually an umbrella that will connect all the projects and areas of your business and life.
We will look at different creatives and inventors here and define the main thing they are known for. I've made a graphic with an umbrella. That is what we'll put on the Thought Leadership Umbrella. We'll ask four main questions of each subject. You should then be able to ask yourself these same questions to determine what stands out for you. Hopefully this will help you to define the impossible process of becoming that thought leader you desire to be.
Our questions will be: One, what stands out most of all? Two, what did they do to support their thought leadership? Three, how did they get the word out? And Four, how did their work create an impact? We will start with Albert Einstein.

Albert Einstein-Thought Leader
Albert Einstein, the German-born physicist, was acknowledged to be one of the greatest physicists of all time. He is known for developing the theory of relativity, which is the law of gravity. Einstein published four groundbreaking papers in 1905 and continued to publish papers throughout his career to substantiate his theories, thereby supporting him as a thought leader.
Einstein also took scholarly positions that gave him a platform to share his work. His awards, such as the 1921 Nobel Peace Prize in Physics, along with his intellectual achievements, equated Einstein with genius.
Einstein was also interested in music. In his late journals he wrote, If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music…I get most joy in life out of music. Einstein played the violin and it helped him think. His second wife, Elsa, said, As a little girl, I fell in love with Albert because he played Mozart so beautifully on the violin. Music helps him when he is thinking about his theories. I write more about this in Music for Kids.
Thomas Edison-Thought Leader
Thomas Edison, American inventor and businessman, has been described as America's greatest inventor. He was extremely prolific, holding 1,093 patents in his name as well as patents in other countries. His first invention to gain him wider notice was the phonograph in 1877. The title was completely unexpected but he became known as The wizard of Menlo Park.
Even though many think Edison invented the light bulb, but he was not the originator. But he did form the Edison Electric Light Company in 1878 and made the first public demonstration of his incandescent light bulb on December 31, 1879. Edison's patent is on the improvement of the light bulb with a filament of carbon of high resistance.
With the number of successful patents and inventions, Edison also had failures and flops. But he took the risks necessary to provide groundbreaking inventions that changed our lives to increase the number of working hours with inventions as incandescent light, the telegraph to provide communication across the miles and eventually, a phone.
Temple Grandin-Thought Leader
Temple Grandin is an American scientist and animal behaviorist. She is a consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior. She is also autistic, not formally diagnosed until adulthood. She was in the Heroes category for the 2010 Times 100 most influential people in the world list.
The only formal diagnosis Grandin had received was brain damage before autism was revealed. A late diagnosis has fueled Grandin's platform. She wrote her first book in 1995, Thinking in Pictures, and went on to write over sixty more. She was one of the first scientists to report that animals are sensitive to visual distractions and published scientific articles on beef cattle behavior.
Her disability, combined with groundbreaking research, has created a unique platform, named as one of 2010's one hundred most influential people in the world by Time Magazine. Because of her breakthroughs, I would definitely name her as a thought leader, even though formally disabled.
Simon Sinek - Thought Leader
Simon Sinek's most well-known book is Start With Why, though he's written five books. He is described as a visionary leader with a rare intellect as he has uncovered the patterns of leaders, companies and politicians in how they think, act and communicate.
Sinek's Ted talks are grouped with others who are thinkers, doers and idea generators. He gave one in 2010, then 2014 and 2021. He also published his thoughts in the Ted Ideas blog. This has taken deep work, writing and the ability to formulate his thoughts into Ted-style talks that are impactful.
To be a Ted speaker you have to be nominated by someone else or you can nominate yourself with an idea worth spreading. The TED platform, along with Sineks' research and writing has made him a well-known name among business professionals and entrepreneurs.
Common Threads of a Thought Leader
What stands out most of all for Einstein, Edison, Grandin and Sinek is that they all wrote. Their thoughts and research were either published or put on the world's stage as a speaker. Temple Grandin went back to update her first book with new research that didn't totally disprove her first thesis but it changed it somewhat. By taking a risk, she was put on the world stage as a spokesperson for those with disabilities and also put her groundbreaking research forward, even though she changed her opinion.
Each person kept going, even when their work was not immediately recognized and affirmed. Most also took positions that gave them a platform for their ideas, whether at a university or on the public stage.
The market for content marketing is already large and it's expected to grow by 417.85 billion USD during 2021-2025. If you are aiming to become a thought leader and not just one of the millions who are calling themselves an expert, writing and publishing your thoughts with blogs, podcasts or other media is key to establishing your platform. It takes work, risk and courage to change your message if needed because a thought leader isn't right all the time. But a thought leader can have a great impact in changing their world.
It takes work, risk and willingness to change your message as a thought leader.

Police: Intruder Shot While Breaking Into Store. A man who police said broke in to a Glen Burnie store was fatally shot by an employee, investigators said. Police said Byron Phillip, 30, of Chester, was shot inside the Arundel Cards and Coin collectibles store in the 7400 block of Baltimore-Annapolis Boulevard in Glen Burnie at about 6 a.m. Tuesday.
Boy Critically Injured In Christmas Night Crash. A 7-year-old boy suffered severe head trauma in a Christmas night crash in Odenton, police said. Anne Arundel County police said the boy was a front-seat passenger in a car that struck a parked tow truck around 10 p.m. Tuesday. Police said a preliminary investigation indicates the driver, Lisa Middledorf, 30, of Odenton, had been drinking and was drowsy. She underwent a breath test, and the crash remains under investigation.
Police Fatally Shoot Hammer-Wielding Man. Police in Taneytown fatally shot a man acting disorderly with a hammer Tuesday evening, state police said. Edward Becker Jr., 26, was on Commerce Drive at about 8:30 p.m. when a Taneytown police officer approached him and ordered that he drop the hammer, state police said. A 911 call from Becker's father led authorities to the scene. Becker's father said his son had been drinking and that he was acting out of control.


Do you know what the word generosity means? Yes, it means to give and share freely with others. 'Abdu'l-Baha was a wonderful example to us and there are lots of stories about His generosity. This story is about a time when He was still a child.
'Abdu'l-Baha's Father was a very rich man and owned many villages in the countryside. One day 'Abdu'l-Baha went up into the mountains with some of the workmen to see the thousands of sheep his Father owned. The shepherds were so happy to see 'Abdu'l-Baha that they prepared a delicious feast for him. Do you think that it was a feast of braaied lamb chops over their camp fire?
We too need to learn to be generous and give things away to those who need them. There are so many needy people and organizations that look after poor people, who welcome anything that we can give them.
Do the children know any poor people? Have the children seen any poor people? Is there a poor person in your street? Is there a poor person at school? Is there a children's home or shelter for the homeless that we know? Can we collect some used clothes, books, or toys, or can we buy some sweets? Let the children make a plan to be generous and decide how they will do it. Help them accomplish their goal.
