it had been a relatively easy day, if taking down a hostile group trying to break into a warehouse would be considered such. thankfully enough, it was a cake walk now that she had another super-powered alien by her side. “can i just say - ” kara mused, making her way back over to the couch with two drinks that had a splash of alderbaranian rum in each. “watching you in action...” words trailed as she handed one of the glasses over to @reignthem​. “oh gosh, sorry, that sounded - i just mean, having you there to help take down the bad guys was pretty awesome.”

could you recommend your favourite soulmate fics that aren’t dom/sub?
There are 56 posts in the soulmate!Klaine tag. Lynne is very good at tagging the D/s fics. Here are a few of my personal favorites.
Catalysis by @nadiacreek​
Kurt Hummel chose his soulmate too early. Blaine Anderson thought he’d never have a chance to choose one at all.
~~~~~
One and Only by @sunshineoptimismandangels​
Blaine has always believed in soulmates and ever since he was a child he even knew what the name of his soulmate would be. Now after 18 years of waiting for his one and only Blaine is in an unhappy relationship and about to make one of the biggest decisions of his life - until he gets a phone call from a man with the name he has been waiting to hear his whole life. Blaine sets out on a journey to find his soulmate but learns that maybe true love is not what he’d always imagined.
~~~~~
Forever Feels Like Home by spinmybowtie
Kurt Hummel is a senior in college and he’s tired of waiting to meet his soulmate. He decides to take matters into his own hands by placing an ad in the newspaper. The response he gets is more than he could have ever imagined.
~~~~~
The Heart Of Me by KD (AbstractSong101)
Written for this prompt on the GKM "When Kurt and Blaine finally meet, Blaine is homeless…. Realizing that Kurt’s soulmate has no home, Burt insists that Blaine move into the Hudson-Hummel house.“
~~~~~
Too Late by @zavocado​
When Blaine came out at sixteen, everything changed. Fifty years in the future, sixteen year old Kurt is still hiding himself away, lost in the misery of a friendless high school life with only the memories of a dark-haired, kind boy who helped him when his mother died. A story of lost chances, saviors, and how love transcends the limits of Time. soulmates!Klaine, AU
~~~~~
Believe I’m Yours (Believe You’re Mine) verse by @istytehcrawk​
In a world where pairs of people had started finding names written on their arms, Kurt Hummel was thriving in New York City, enjoying his job at a music charity and his relationship with his boyfriend. Then his new intern, Blaine, showed up and started talking about soulmates, sending Kurt’s life spinning into chaos.

Kevin Durant compared the Warriors to Migos. Here’s why it’s perfect.
Tumblr media
Quavo first compared Klay Thompson to Takeoff, and KD took the rest from there.
After Klay Thompson’s eruption for 52 points on an NBA single-game record of 14 three-pointers, Kevin Durant posted the following on Instagram:
View this post on Instagram
14 treys for headband @klaythompson on a back 2 back. God Level sniper.
A post shared by 35 (@easymoneysniper) on Oct 29, 2018 at 8:45pm PDT
What’s important here is what happened in the comment section (usually the toilet of any internet page). Migos’ Quavo jumped in and compared Thompson to his fellow Migo, Takeoff.
Then, Durant came through with a full-on comparison:
Tumblr media
Durant’s comparison couldn’t be more accurate.
Here’s why.
Steph Curry is Quavo because he’s the most recognizable of the group, and mostly everyone’s favorite.
Steph is a rockstar. Before any game the Warriors play, whether at home or on the road, fans arrive early just to see him and his pregame routine. If they’re lucky, they’ll snag an autograph or a selfie.
youtube
Curry pregame routines are basically the hook of Warriors games, which is Quavo’s specialty. He’s been the face of the best team in the league for the past five years, and is a consistent performer. Easy comparison.
KD is Offset, because he’s a close second favorite but also really good on his own.
Whether you’re a big fan of Migos or not, it’s important to understand that all three of them are extremely talented. KD would never take anything away from himself like that. After all, KD has said he’s just as skilled as LeBron James, the best player in the NBA:
“Accolades and accomplishments and legacy and all that stuff and how they mean to people, I can’t talk on that,” Durant said of LeBron. “But as far as basketball skills are concerned? I’m on the same level.”
Offset usually comes in after Quavo on tracks, and can do things with lyrics that will just kind of leave you shocked. It’s also not unusual for him to own a track. Offset bars are not unlike one of Durant’s daggers in an NBA Finals against the Cavaliers.
youtube
And now, to the original comparison that was made by Quavo and most importantly...
Klay is indeed Takeoff, because his scoring outbursts are like Takeoff’s verses: they’re the best performances in the group.
Takeoff is the best in Migos when it comes to verses, and it’s not close. That’s why his verses are always last on the track. And for y’all that want to bring up “tHEn HoW cOmE hE waS fiRsT oN ‘I gEt ThE baG’!?” It’s because that shit was so good it couldn’t wait.
If you disagree with me, even Quavo said Takeoff is the best:
My boy take best been boss. In my opinion he the best one out of all of us. He’s the youngest, he been like that. To me he the best one out the group.
So there. @ me.
For Klay, his verses are 52 points with 14 three-pointers, 60 points on 11 dribbles, and 37 points in a quarter. Bars.
Draymond is Pee, because he’s the leader, and recruiter.
Pee, along with Coach K (no, not that one) are the founders of Quality Control Music, the record label that is home to Migos, Lil Yatchty and others. They are known for their ability to find and recruit talent, which is exactly what Draymond did to help the Warriors go from being one of the best teams in NBA history to one of the most hated teams in NBA history.
He did it for KD, via Zach Lowe.
Green was already working on that as he left Oracle Arena after that gutting Game 7 loss. Green sat in his car in the parking lot and called Myers, telling him he had to sign Durant. “It’s on you,” Green told Myers.
Green hung up, stayed in the parking lot, and made another call — to Durant. “That was my very next call,” Green said. Two weeks later, Durant signed a maximum contract that put him in a Golden State uniform for at least one season, with several more seasons likely to come.
”If we win the championship, I’m like 99 percent sure we don’t get him,” Green said. “There are silver linings to everything.”
And he did it for Boogie, via Shams Charania:
The Warriors’ recruitment was led by Green, who has a strong relationship with Cousins, Durant and general manager Bob Myers, and it included positive phone calls between Cousins and coach Steve Kerr, league sources said.
Collectively, the Warriors are an unstoppable force that will always get your attention when they are performing, much like Migos and QC.

Jericho...Who's Miyu?
“well, that kinda depends which me yer askin”, the grey-skinned, human-like canon Jericho answers, “’cause I’ve never met anyone called Miyu.”“yeah…bro, that’d be my wife”, the Miyucho echidna version responds, “first chick ta ever wanna take me home fer more than jus’ a one-nighter.”“I’ve seen tha pictchya, she be a mighty fine lil’ lass”, Josaiuph laughs, “if she be up fer a three on she, mebeh us three fine men ca’ give’er tha best nightuver life!”“dude, seriously, how the FUCK did I become you?” the canon one chuckles “all the same, I wouldn’t say no ta that…”“not that you maybe, but there’s a coupe of us that’re hitched to others…and ya know how we get where there’s a ring involved”, the Shad/Shanico verse version chimes, “happily whipped as hell!”“yo, Harry, you up for a three, or more, way?” the Harricho version asks hopefully“just…wow…”, Jacob says facepalming, “dad, mom, exactly how are these morons versions of me?”“ey Collen…ya thinkin what I am?” the Collicho slutverse one winks half-joking“KD, meet me where ever the fuck some of the others are, I’ll bring tha rubbers!” the Killecho one says running to the car“such foolishness, I am glad my father stayed to raise me.” the Vratol-raised alter says disgusted “Jacob, you are the only realm-displaced version I would claim…”“hey, don’t lump us in with those idiots!” the Miyucho, Mythico, and Lighticho versions say at the exact same time, along with the Virtue Incarnate destiny one(I got carried the hell away on this one lol)@multi-muse-myth@ask-killer-dubstep@healingmemories@sharkiecentral@my-pitty-squad-blog@a-bunch-o-mobians@last-of-my-bloodline

“Deb I promise you I'm not worried about none of that shit dawg. My whole life bitches have felt all types of intimidated or froggy in my presence. You think I'm going to let someone take this opportuni- better yet money from me? Really?” Arkeisha scoffed and folded her arms, no matter how many times she's proved herself to her manager Deb Antney, Deb is never satisfied. Arkeisha is starting to question why she's even around her at this point, it seems as though Deb is always chastising her.
“Alright Chicago we have a special guest hitting the stage, some may know her as KD, other may know her as the bitch with that ass out, but we all know her as Kashdoll!” The DJ yelled to hype the club up. In a tough city like Chicago she wasn't expecting the loud roar she got from the crowd, but none the less it amped her all the way up. Deb went to grab her before hitting the stage, but Arkeisha swiftly snatched herself away with an enthusiastic grin.
“Don't be stupid out there, this is their city, this is their hood, and this is where you could potentially lose it all. Have fun and kill it.” Deb warned before turning her back.
“You know I do this and I do it well, I gotta put on for the Motor- Do not bring Detroit into this… It could turn things hostile Arkeisha. Now go.” Arkeisha rolled her eyes and hit the stage, she looks over at the DJ and he gives her a reassuring nod. As she whips her hair back and flashes her smile, her TKO chain glistens in the light. This is the moment she lived for. This why she got into the business, this why music was her outlet, to let all the basic bitches who fucked with her to know she's the baddest to do it.
“What's good Chiraq? Y'all ready to get this shit crackin? Now usually I would do some of my old shit, but I just signed a new deal with TKO and I feel like y'all deserve something a bit more special. This song right here is called 304, DJ fuck it up one time.” The sample of Ginuwine’s “Pony” fills the club and KD starts to feel the beat and excitement in the air. Then those butterflies she had disappears as she begins to feel like real performer for once.
“Uh we did it in my keep, like every fucking week, he kiss me on my cheek, he kiss me underneath, my boy sure to keep it tight, most nigga keep it tight, like every single night.” As she scans the crowd she sees everyone vibing to her music, except one particular individual. It's hard for her not to say something but, she doesn't want to cause a scene as Deb had already warned her about the possible outcome of things. She looks down and begins to finish the rest of her verse. Looking directly at the chick as she raps.
“On sight, never with a freak bitch, downtown on some freak shit… had me feeling like I never did before it was cool until I found out yous a ho— stop the music, cut the beat, cut the beat. Bitch am I not amusing or entertaining enough for you? Why show up if you're just going to just stand there like you got something to say? Do I know you?” Usually a hating ass bitch wouldn't phase her, but the Hennessy had been flowing and she is not for them games. She sees security slowly approach the confrontation so she takes the time to walk over the edge of the stage to get a better look at the girl.
“Bitch what you're doing is not impressive if we wanted to hear a watered down Nicki I’d have no issue coming to see you, however you're talking a little too much for someone with no credi- You can't compare me to the next bitch ever especially if she's obsolete…” she says before hopping of the stage to be face to face with the girl “... You're just like her, delusional. Especially If you think even a second she can compete. I'm not worried about no lame ass, flip floppin, goofy ass ho such as her and apparently her. You think she gives a fuck about you ma?” Every time KD talks she's stepping closer and closer to the girl, and every step she takes the farther security drifts behind her.
“Look I actually just wrote a song for not only her, but her pressed ass fans too, it goes a little something like this.” She looks back at the DJ and mouths the words “track 2”. “Let me tell you a little thing about me, I'm a boss bitch, straight up out the 313, the only thing on my mind is getting rich, I go hard on a nigga and a bi-” before she could finish her opening lines she was struck in the face. Within a matter of seconds a full on melee ensued. With it being so dark in the club she couldn't really see where she was swinging, she just knew someone was going to get hit. As she cocked back to throw a brutal punch, that connected, the girl grabbed her by the hair and attempted to throw her to the ground. But since Kash had a grip of her own they both fall to ground just in time for security to rush over and gunshots to ring out.
A disoriented Arkeisha is being dragged to the back by security, in a daze she looks around pissed and confused. “I booked you to perform not start a fucking riot in my fucking club, are you out of your mind? We could get shut down for something like this you know this right? Oh so you can't hear me fucking talking t- My chain.” Arkeisha looks down and starts to panic. “What, what are you even talking about a chain? Like- My fucking chain I got for signing it's gone. Did that bum bitch really take my fucking chain? Move.” Arkeisha tries to push her way pass the club owner but security and the owner push her back. “You've endangered your life, our life, and everyone else's lives in this club you need to leave and be happy that you're still breathing. Now go, before we get the police involved more than they have to already be.” With that being said Arkeisha walked out of there rich in pride, but broke in shrewdness. She feels her phone buzz and she looks down to read what’s on the screen.
 “50 thousand for the chain ho.”

The additional you know about Kevin Durant, the additional you can see how his star ascended
New Post has been published on https://othersportsnews.com/the-additional-you-know-about-kevin-durant-the-additional-you-can-see-how-his-star-ascended/
The additional you know about Kevin Durant, the additional you can see how his star ascended
So considerably of the discussion in qualified sports facilities about the business as it does the sport. How do you build your #brand? How do you extend your access? How do you hit world-wide celebrity position?
For Kevin Durant, his path was straightforward: He just did himself. “IM ME, I DO ME, AND I CHILL” — it has been his Twitter bio given that the day he signed up, and Durant has stuck to it. He arrived into the NBA as an eighteen-yr-outdated all set to show the planet incorrect about doubts more than his toughness and labored his way to the pinnacle with a league MVP with the Oklahoma Town Thunder in 2014 and a championship in his first season with the Golden State Warriors in 2017.
But along the way, Durant’s star ascended — not from a nicely-mapped PR program, but from organic moments of him just being himself. Like exhibiting up to participate in flag soccer with higher education young ones throughout the lockout. Like answering questions at the podium following playoff video games with a backpack on. Like his psychological MVP speech.
Kevin Durant by now owned a league MVP trophy when he joined the Warriors, and he proceeded to insert a Finals MVP trophy to his collection. Kelley L Cox-Usa Now Athletics
Durant isn’t really some sophisticated enigma who is tricky to parse. He’s a kid from Seat Enjoyable, Maryland, just exterior Washington D.C., who loves to hoop. He’s surely advanced given that he was drafted in 2007 and has escalating passions and ambitions, but Durant has normally been a uncomplicated participant and a legitimate individual.
With the 2017 Finals MVP taking his star electricity to India this 7 days to market his activity, in this article are some lesser-known specifics that present insight into what will make Durant tick.
He is shown at six-foot-9. He’s additional like seven feet tall.
It can be normally been a little bit of a odd inside joke with him to stay away from declaring his serious height, but he lastly arrived clean previous yr. “Due to the fact I adore you fellas so considerably, I was recorded at six-ten and three-quarters with no sneakers, so with my sneakers on I am seven feet,” Durant informed KNBR previous December. “I just like messing with people today. They just inquire me so considerably … yeah, I just like messing with people today.”
Pictures is a important interest of his.
He even snapped pics for The Players’ Tribune at Super Bowl 50 in San Francisco.
When Durant, an avid photographer, can take a shot, it truly is not normally with a basketball. Mark J. Rebilas-Usa Now Athletics
He wears No. 35 for Charles Craig, a mentor and Durant’s first basketball coach.
Craig — whom Durant phone calls “Significant Chucky” — was murdered at the age of 35. Durant started off wearing No. 35 at the College of Texas.
That shimmy in advance of each individual free toss loosens him up.
Durant started off performing it his rookie season in Seattle, largely simply because he was nervous. He skipped some free throws and was having limited, so he informed himself he essential to loosen up. He pulled the shimmy and started off swishing them once again. And it truly is stuck. In all probability simply because he’s an 88 % occupation free toss shooter.
He has a good deal of tattoos.
You just do not normally see them. They had been at the time labeled “business tattoos,” as Durant averted having visible tattoos on his arms or neck, alternatively masking his tummy, again and now legs. He has substantial tattoos of Rick James and Tupac on his legs, he has “Maryland” throughout his again, he’s acquired the Washington Nationals logo, he has a tiny triangle on his wrist (for him, his supervisor/good friend Charlie Bell and business partner Wealthy Kleiman) and he has a Bible verse on his again.
Yet another musician. Yet another tattoo.
Kevin Durant provides Rick James to his collection: https://t.co/5f3dcVFEak pic.twitter.com/KSoIdFpAco
— ESPN (@espn) September 4, 2016
Speaking of the verse tattoo, it truly is James one:two-4.
And initially it had a typo in it. It explained “mautre” alternatively of “experienced.” It can be mounted now.
He’s a confessed buzzer-clutcher.
He’s ditched the habit a little bit given that becoming a member of fifty percent-court-heave savant Stephen Curry, but Durant routinely will hold on to the ball and launch it just a break up second following the buzzer on lengthy-length, close-of-quarter shots. He’s admitted to it again in 2013: “It is dependent on what I am taking pictures from the area. Very first quarter, if I am 4-for-4, I let it go. Third quarter, if I am like ten-for-sixteen or ten-for-seventeen, I could possibly let it go. But if I am like 8-for-19, I am going to go ahead and dribble one additional second and let that buzzer go off and then toss it up there. So it is dependent on how the game’s going.”
His MVP speech was generally ad-libbed.
He had a program, created generally on the again of a serviette. It consisted of having his teammates onstage and chatting about them. From there, while, he just sort of winged it. What resulted was an unbelievably raw, psychological instant that resonated with people today even exterior of sports.
youtube
He went to three higher educational facilities.
Durant started off at Nationwide Christian Academy in Fort Washington, Maryland, then spent a yr at the famed Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia, but concluded his higher schooling at Montrose Christian School in Rockville, Maryland. The takeaway: Durant was not afraid to swap teams, even as a teenager.
He loves video clip video games.
He statements to be an expert at “NBA 2K” and “FIFA” and honed his skills again in his early times in Oklahoma Town, basically participating in against community young ones.
He likes to make music.
There is certainly the mysterious monitor with LeBron James out there somewhere, but Durant has recorded a variety of tracks, like one known as “Anxious About Tomorrow” with rapper Privaledge.
Does Durant listen to the tune he recorded with LeBron James whilst warming up? Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Pictures
He can bench-press 185 kilos now.
At the draft blend again in 2007, it was a definitely major offer that he couldn’t. He can do it now, and then some.
He loves the Washington Redskins.
He routinely argues with mates and teammates about his most loved soccer workforce and supports the franchise by the poor … and the poor. He has — or at minimum, had — a pair of Redskins socks he’d wear generally following video games, so considerably that they had holes in them.
He’s a little bit of a penny-pincher.
He will not acquire a good deal of new apparel. He will not have a ton of cars. And even again in 2010, he went on Twitter and asked for a person to let him use their ESPN Insider login information and facts.
Anybody acquired a espn insider username n password that I can use?
— Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) April six, 2010
He’s a total basketball junkie.
Early in his occupation with the Thunder, staffers pretty much had to kick Durant out of the observe facility and lock the door driving him so he’d go home and get some relaxation. He has pulled off some of that obsessive conduct in modern many years, increasing his horizons with other hobbies, but at his main, Durant are unable to get sufficient of the roundball.
He has a bulldog named Zo.
The pup was launched to the planet by way of Facebook in 2014.
He loves using bicycles.
When Durant was in the Hamptons previous summer months, he went on a bicycle experience to apparent his head and acquire his ideas the early morning in advance of he introduced his free-company final decision.
He utilized to drive a van.
It was decked out and personalized with tons of bells and whistles (these as Texas Longhorn hubcaps), but it was just a black GMC van.
youtube
He pays focus to the media.
Durant are unable to resist looking at Very first Acquire. He loves to study articles and comply with rumors and news. He’s not just obsessed with participating in basketball he’s obsessed with the NBA in typical.
He pays focus to social media.
Durant has been known to blend it up each individual now and then with supporters and mates on Twitter., but he has admitted one of his greatest flaws is blocking out some of the sound. He statements to not let it hassle him, but Durant couldn’t continue to keep absent from peeking at crucial responses on his Instagram so considerably that he deleted his accounts previous yr — both of them, private and public.
He will not like any of his nicknames.
There has been a little bit of an obsession at coming up with a acceptable nickname for Durant for a variety of many years. The Slim Reaper? Durantula? He will not care for these. He at the time explained he liked “The Servant” but was definitely generally joking. When it will come down to nicknames, Durant’s desire is very straightforward: “I just like KD.”
He was teammates with Michael Beasley, Ty Lawson and Greivis Vasquez in higher school.
But his most loved teammate at any time? Royal Ivey, a previous participant and present assistant with the Thunder (while Durant also has explained Kendrick Perkins is his most loved teammate at any time).
Kevin Durant was asked today at his camp who his most loved teammate at any time is. Respond to: Present-day OKC Blue assistant Royal Ivey.
— Royce Young (@royceyoung) August 8, 2015
He grew up seeking to be a weatherman.
An fascination in meteorology was surely a healthy in Twister Alley. The fascination has normally stuck with Durant, while, and his apparel line has included “weatherman” style and design techniques of his shoe, dependent on Doppler radar imagery, and other equipment that states “Believe in the Weatherman” (which was also the take care of of his defunct private Instagram).
He states his all-time most loved film is “Twister.”
See previous product.
He needs to be a music producer when he retires.
Or at minimum that is what he explained a handful of many years back. As things go with Durant, his passions transform generally, and from time to time quickly.
He states he are unable to palm a basketball.
To be specific, he states he are unable to palm an NBA ball (they are a good deal slicker than higher education or higher school ones). “No, I are unable to,” he explained in 2014. “It can be absolutely nothing I can manage. I do not know what else to say.”
KD on if he can palm the ball: “No, I are unable to. It can be absolutely nothing I can manage. I do not know what else to say…I do not know why this is a story.”

a week of indian prayer
On Sunday, sitting there at Hindi Prayer
high up in the Himalayan mountains
at the Methodist Church
Primrose welcomed from her tea plantation
understanding not a jot
wept deep inside, watching dads lined up
presented with a Nanital margarete blossom
remembering the fathers we never had
also lined up in a different type of line.
back in the Europe of then
 Then down below on the plain
two elephants crept by on the way
mother elephant sweeping the Delhi road
with a bright green leafy branch
wearing it for her Sunday best
as I on my way to see extended family
Sonja Gandhi.. herself and left some verse.
 Monday kneeling at prayer
a peasant woman dressed in brightest reds
flashing with glassy beads and jewels huge
a hue of Christmas trimmings
snuffled in the corner and returned
 the pew  with a Church Candle
tugging and begging for money, money
not realising mayhap we are not Hindus
she stood staring boldly and curiously
at the picture of Mother Mary and child
 Tuesday after prayer
offering a fresh loaf much too large
for just me to eat
scuffling in the trash bin, a beggar
round the corner to the lepers
hugging the Cathedral
Money, money he snarled
jerking his hand for coins and cash
outside the convent gate
no fish and loaf for the five thousand here..
 Wednesday on the way to prayer
a buffalo  parked itself squarely on the kerb
and remained there as a necklet of donkeys
wandered along Ashoke Road
carrying not Jesus but  gayly packed parcels
a family of monkeys dancing on the Insurance building
in trance a little higher up the white walls
hiding behind the signs
as all and sundry fed them dishes of fruits
a country where man and animal still harmonize.
 Thursday on the way to paryer
a woman jumped from a rickshaw
wearing brightest pink lipstick against her dusky skin
at the gates with the beggars and lepers begging, laughingly
give money money, give fifteen rupees
the cost of the ride
for me it had cost one hundred and fifty and I was lost
in circular, over heated Delhi town
it is miles and miles to walk in the burning sun
not heeding advice to stay indoors midday
getting lost, sit through song after song at the Sikh Temple
just as dearest friend Molar Singh had told me to do
arrived late for prayer at the Cathedral
 Friday at prayer
chatting for two and a half hours to God
for I am not much of a standard prayer person
and arn't so hot at standard organizations
preferring the personal touch and no pressure
and after celebrating the rising of the Archbishop's soul
we all got Indian fish and bread
well, actually a vegetarian samosa, delicious
and coke to drink on the way home
in the gathering dusk
wandering in circles for hours in the dark, totally lost
B'Hai Temple lights the way.
(wish now I'd gone in!)
 Saturday rushing to prayer
passing the golden onion dome of the guruwala on the way
the bovine had strayed further along
Ashoke road to munch more greenery from the rich people's hedges
two more butter coloured buffalo appeared by the trash bin
outside the gates of the convent
whither hurriedly to teach the poor girls so keen to learn
who already know all their prayers
in a country filled with still very religious souls
but their families could never afford schools
learn religiously with an uncommon calm
 Sunday on the way to prayer,
a matched up Sikh in matching green top to toe
hurtles past on his way
on his two wheeled steed called a scooter
like in tales of days gone by
when they sped forth from the rocks on their prancers
fur green turban fashionably colour co-ordinated with  shirt
green Delhi keeping green without parking
no doubt having been to his prayer
hoody- monks processing down the cathedral alley
send a shiver down spines
but the Brits took it all away
and paid little back though they were guests
all told me in every visited space
and forgot their Commandments whilst there!
