What do you think would happen if humans are the only species that believes in luck.

What if aliens never correlated crossing fingers, walking under ladders, seeing melanistic felines, as things that can affect an outcome of a project (or life's) success? What if humans are the only ones who believe in that kind of stuff?

Even non-superstitious humans cross their fingers for good luck, just because that's what you do.

Human right before they're doing something dangerous: Cross your fingers.

Alien: *visibly confused*

Brall headed down the corridor, stepping lightly around the larger debris. The corridor was still under construction after last weeks’ earthquake shook loose a ‘hobby room’ the humans had installed against regulation and without permission. How the humans managed to get weighted iron bars as tall as they were onto the base was impressive in itself, how they managed to get them into the crawl space in between floors was even more so.

“Stop!”

Brall froze, a quick response he learned after being around humans for so long. He saw no danger, no problems, or any reason for his quick change. He turned around to face the human who’d called for him.

“Why can i not continue down the corridor?”

Thane was moving quickly towards Brall. He was trying to protect Brall from, something.

“The ladder.” Thane grabbed it and lifted. He carried it to one side, collapsing it against the wall. “You can’t walk under ladders.”

“It was sufficiently high enough. I would not have bumped it,” Brall assured him.

Thane shook his head. “No, it’s bad luck.”

Brall wasn’t aware of what luck was, or even the concept of it. He was in a hurry though. “Can you walk with me and explain what ‘bad luck’ is?”

Thane nodded. “Course.”

Brall kept going, but diverted half his attention to the human.

“Luck is an invisible force that can change the outcome of anything regardless of what actions have been taken. You can have good luck or bad luck. Good luck is when things work out for you for no reason. Bad luck is when terrible things happen for no reason.”

“But walking under a ladder causes bad luck?”

“Yes, because you can attract good or bad luck based on what you do. Black cats carry bad luck with them, so if you see one, boom, bad luck. On the other hand, horseshoes are good luck. Bad luck is easier to get though, so you have to be extra careful not to attract it. Good luck is a lot harder to manifest.”

They stepped through the doors and headed for the next building.

“But are humans not known for their preparedness and tenacity? Why would a species believe in mindless chance when they are, well, human. It seems counterintuitive that a species who routinely looks death in the eyes and laughs would allow themselves to fall victim to such a hollow belief.”

They stepped into the next building. It was much smaller, only two rooms large. The first room acted as a barrier to protect the sensitive equipment in the second. Another human, Vikram, stood there waiting for Brall.

Thane frowned. “It’s not a hollow belief. There are things that happen that can’t be explained. Despite everything that is prepped or done, sometimes things happen and people don’t make it. It’s bad luck.”

Vikram laughed. “Dude, stop filling his head with nonsense. Luck isn’t real. It’s a small mind ignoring the butterfly effect. Things happen and just because you don’t know what caused them doesn’t mean nothing caused it. The universe doesn’t have an opinion.”

Brall was now very confused. Thane spoke as if luck was a human constant but Vikram refused it outright.

“Oh yeah?” Thane challenged.

Vikram shrugged. “Yeah. Luck is for dummies.”

“Cool.” Thane nodded. “Then I’ll just go ahead and take the narwhal toy with me then.”

Vikram’s face changed so quickly Brall almost expected to see a weapon appear.

“You touch that narwhal and I’ll snap your finger.”

Brall took a step away from Thane first, distancing himself from the potential danger.

“Ha! Now who’s superstitious?”

Vikram frowned. “I’m not superstitious. But if you move that narwhal then Brall and I won’t be able to fix anything.”

“How does the piece of plastic help us?” Brall asked.

Vikram shrugged. “Don’t know, but it does. So don’t touch it.”

“Brall, if you need any more information about luck, I’ll gladly give you some reference material to look up later. Because at least I’m honest about my beliefs.” Thane left, smirking.

Vikram shook his head. “Alright, let’s just get to work.”

———————

“I still don’t understand why the repairs aren’t holding. We worked out all the bugs.”

Vikram had been complaining for the last ten minutes. Nothing they did was working.

“You didn’t touch anything, did you?” Vikram asked.

Brall couldn’t lie. It was an unknown quirk of he species that humans discovered. So he knew he was caught.

Brall pulled the narwhal from his pocket. “You said luck was not real so I wished to see for myself.”

Vikram lunged for the narwhal, frightening Brall. Brall flicked the toy into the air and jumped backwards. Vikram grabbed the toy with a hunter’s focus and immediately rushed it back to its rightful place.

“I told you not to touch the narwhal!”

Vikram began scolding Brall, but Brall was distracted. All the red, orange, and black indicators were shifting to blue and purple behind Vikram’s back. The human was going on about how personifying the equipment and placating it was important, but Brall was only partially listening.

“It’s working.” Brall was in disbelief. Replacing the toy somehow fixed everything.

Vikram turned and smiled. He exhaled all the pent up stress. “Of course it’s working. We gave the toy back. It’s happy now.”

Brall made the mental note to request the reading material from Thane later.

Today, we remember Vikram Gokhale, who passed away on November 26, 2022. A renowned actor in Marathi theatre, Hindi films, and television, he was the son of veteran actor Chandrakant Gokhale. Born in Pune in 1945, Gokhale came from a family of cinema pioneers, including his great grandmother Durgabai Kamat, the first female actor of Indian screen, and grandmother Kamlabai Gokhale, the first female child actor in Indian cinema.

Gokhale's directorial debut came with the Marathi film 'Aaghaat' in 2010. He received the National Film Award for Best Actor for 'Anumati.' Married to Vrushali since 1975, they had two daughters, Asawari and Neha. Gokhale was also a successful real estate businessman and a committed social activist, supporting disabled soldiers, children of lepers, and orphan education through his family's foundation.

Retiring from stage due to a throat ailment in 2016, he continued his film career until his last days. Gokhale passed away at 77 in Pune, leaving a legacy in Indian cinema and theatre.

Ex-DELAIN Singer CHARLOTTE WESSELS Explores 'Heavier Sound' On Upcoming Solo Album

Charismatic Dutch singer/songwriter Charlotte Wessels is set to release her new studio album on September 20, 2024 via Napalm Records. The LP's first single, "The Exorcism", will arrive on May 16, 2024.

Wessels's album promises a cohesive exploration of fear and liberation, as well as spellbinding melancholia and dark, catchy elements meeting progressive and heavier soundscapes. Charlotte and her band will bring this story to the stage on October 4, 2024 at Utrecht's TivoliVredenburg.

The former DELAIN vocalist's earlier solo endeavors, "Tales From Six Feet Under" (2021) and "Tales From Six Feet Under Vol II" (2022) already gained Wessels a remarkable number of devotees, but for the upcoming release, Wessels is raising the bar significantly. While still writing and producing the songs in her Six Feet Under basement home studio and sharing their first incarnations with her patrons, now she's taking the songs to the next level with a band of her fellow ex-DELAIN cohorts Timo Somers (guitars, additional arrangements),Otto Schimmelpenninck Van Der Oije (bass) and Joey Marin De Boer (drums) as well as Sophia Vernikov (piano/hammond),contributing to the new, heavier sound. The album also features arrangements by Vikram Shankar (SILENT SKIES, PAIN OF SALVATION),cello by Elianne Anemaat, mixing by Guido Aalbers (MUSE, COLDPLAY, THE GATHERING) and mastering by Andy VanDette (PORCUPINE TREE, VOLA, DREAM THEATER).

Wessels states: "This album is significant, for on the one hand, telling such a deeply personal journey — through its unintended theme of fear and obsessive thoughts — and at the same time, representing the joy of finding the song's true forms with everyone involved in the making of this record. There were moments in the studio with the band that truly reminded me of why I love making music in the first place, and I don't think I've ever been as excited about music going out into the world. This is the album I want to re-introduce myself with, and I'm so glad to do it with this amazing team."

In a 2022 interview with Spain's The Metal Circus TV, Wessels was asked how she feels about the fact that DELAIN made a comeback with a new lineup. A short time earlier, DELAIN released a single, "The Quest And The Curse", featuring keyboardist, founder and main songwriter Martijn Westerholt alongside new singer Diana Leah, original guitarist Ronald Landa and original drummer Sander Zoer, plus bassist Ludovico Cioffi. Charlotte said: "I'm trying not to engage with it too much, honestly. I've seen positive responses about it, which I think is good. But I do try to keep some distance and just focus on what I'm doing rather than checking that out, because I still don't feel like that will make me happier per se."

In February 2021, Westerholt announced the dissolution of DELAIN's previous lineup. At the time, he explained: "For the last year or so, the collaboration within the band ceased to work as well as it once had. Some of us were no longer happy with the current roles in the band. We all tried very hard to find a solution for over a year, but sadly we were unable to find one. As a result, we will all be going our own ways and pursuing our own endeavors.

"I am very sad our cooperation has come to end, but at the same time I am very grateful for all the years we were able to work together. Together we toured the world, shared highs and lows, and met with many successes as well as times that pushed us to learn and grow. We all enjoyed meeting our fans and making new friends all over the globe."

At the time, Wessels said about her departure: "I know that you might have questions about the 'why' in all of this. I fully understand and respect that. Simply put, it is the sad conclusion of more than a year of trying to find solutions to built-up grievances. Part of me feels like I'm letting all of you down, I'd like you to know that this decision was not taken lightly and I apologize to those of you who had high hopes of seeing all of us together live on stage again after lockdown. Until recently, I thought this might still be in the cards for us as well."

The new DELAIN lineup made its official live debut in August 2022 at the Riverside festival in Aarburg, Switzerland.

India has landed on the Moon!!! The landing is part of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)'s historic Chandrayaan-3 mission.

"'We have achieved soft landing on the moon,'" said ISRO Chairman Shri Somanath. 'Yes, on the moon!'"

"[Indian Prime Minister Narenda Modi] then addressed the ISRO team, speaking in Hindi but adding in English, 'India is now on the moon!'

'The success belongs to all of humanity,' he said. 'And it will help moon missions by other countries in the future. I'm confident that all countries in the world ... can all aspire for the moon and beyond. ... The sky is not the limit!'"

The remote operated lander named Vikram touched down in the south pole region at 6:02pm IST on August 23, 2023. Vikram carried a small but mighty companion, the lunar rover Pragyan (Sanskrit, "wisdom").

Vikram is named after Vikram Sarabhai, PhD, physicist, astronomer, and a major figure in the development of India's space and nuclear programs. Sarabhai served as the first chairman of the ISRO, as well as the driving force behind the organization's creation. Recognizing the need for more coordinated space research in India, Sarabhai urged the Indian government to create INCOSPAR - the committee that eventually formed the ISRO in 1969.

Big News !!

1. Donald Trump arrested. It's a first for any US President! Hooray on the iconic achievement! He got booked at a Georgia jail on racketeering charges and had a sexy mugshot taken. He got out around 20 minutes after surrendering because he paid the bail amount.

2. Yevgeny Prighozin "death". Apparently a plane with him and 10 other people crash landed in Russia, and he's now presumed dead. He was a far right dude who rebelled against Putin because he didn't get enough leeway from him to be an asshole. He called off the march after a day. Two months later, he's dead. Go figure.

3. Chandrayaan-3 Success. They succeeded in soft landing on the South Pole of the moon, making them the first country to land on the South Pole and the fourth country to land a rover mission on the moon. It's the successor of the Chandrayaan-2 and the lander is named Vikram, while the Rover is named Pragyan. They focused on giving it more fuel than the previous mission in 2019 to allow for greater spin, and also used the images from the failed mission to aid the landing of the Chandrayaan-3.

Sorry for being a pesky news anchor, I just couldn't hold it in because of the barrage of news I've been bombarded with this week. A lot of interesting developments recently.

I realized I haven't shared much of my Little Singham works. I've made fanarts, but I always post then on my Instagram and I don't post it here.

Well, now I'm gonna talk about the Little Singham In Multiverse movie, specifically the variant versions of LS (god, that's was an entire fever dream-). There are already some of them who had a backstory, but for those who doesn't, beware of the insanity I'm about to pull.

Raj Singham;

We got nothing to how he got into the position he has now. He was introduced like some guardian to this little town, fought this woman (I forgot her name) for light, and won.

For his backstory, I come up with some... Angsty shit.

So basically, back when he was younger, his town (not the town he protects now) was caught in some massacre, and he was the one and only survivor and escapee of that massacre. His parents, along with his newborn baby sister died in that massacre.

Baaghi Singham;

We also didn't know much about Baaghi aside that he's friends with this guy named Vikram, then their friendship broke off because of a misunderstanding because Vikram was brainwashed, then they reconciled after winning a fight and that's it.

I'll also give Baaghi of an angsty backstory, but not as bad as Raj's.

Baaghi's father was a soldier, and his mother is a nurse of the medic team. They died during a war, and he stayed with his grandmother until she eventually died as well due to old age, leaving Baaghi orphaned.

Ronin Singham;

Oh boy, this child is my absolute favorite. When I made the fanart piece of Ronin and Dragon one time, I literally spewed a lot of shit on the spot while posting.

This kid is most likely half-Japanese since one, he had Ronin as his name/title, and a ronin means a samurai without a master, and the place he's at right now might be Tokyo. We only know that he's some sort of ronin who roams around Tokyo to protect it from evil, then some Kaiju came about, and he have to fight them.

And for his backstory, oh boy how I've gone absolutely ham on it.

Basically, Ronin was born to be a core vessel of some sort of unknown energy. The woman who gave birth to him, his "mother", was one of the scientist in this project, and made him for the sole reason to become an experiment. Ronin was the only survivor and a success of the experiment, as the previous subjects died. His experiment name was A4N35, and it was the only identity Ronin had ever since he was born. Years later after Ronin escaped the lab, he destroyed the lab by exploding it, including his birth mother, but he's completely unaware that the scientists inside had died due to that explosion.

The energy that Ronin became subjected to become the core vessel to was taking a great toll on him; using the energy as a weapon as a means to fight became too painful for him to bear, so he never bothered to try and learn it. The energy is slowly replacing his blood, often he have the spikes and coughed out huge amounts of blood and became absolutely immobile as he would wait the pain out to pass before continuing what he was doing before, and it was like that for years to the point he treated it as normal.

He was given the name 'Suzuki Sora' after the other Singhams realized that Ronin never had an actual identity this whole time, with 'Sora' had the meaning of 'sky', while ''Suzuki' was the surname of his late birth mother.

Veer Singham;

His story was already a clear cut; a long lost prince of the kingdom who got kidnapped as a baby by his own uncle, fought his long lost father on a daily basis until they found out who he really is, and was officially crowned as the prince of the kingdom.

His mother seemed to have died at childbirth, that's why she was never been showcased throughout the entire flashback.

Aadi Singham;

A literal caveman where dinosaurs still roamed. His people of his village disappeared one day, and robots suddenly came out of nowhere and attacked him and his dino kid friend.

Dragon Singham;

What I like to depict him as the mature and elegant friend of this multiverse friend group. For some reason he's slightly shorter than the rest, and had a different face too. I'm sure he's either half-Chinese or fully Chinese.

He got his dragon powers after absorbing some power from a magical wood with a dragon carving on it, fought the evil that had been taking the people's food, and won.

For his backstory, I think he was left at his laoshi's doorstep when he was a few months old, and had been under the care of his laoshi ever since. He had no clue if he still had family or not.

The fact that his laoshi named him 'Dragon' is wild, even before he got those dragon powers. So I'll give Dragon an actual name this time; 'Wang Haoyu'.

Shakti Singham;

Idk what's the deal with this one, but he's definitely older than everyone else in the group with how big he really is, not to mention he had muscles too.

Basically Tarzan in a nutshell, protecting the giant animals that resides in the forest that he lives in.

For backstory, it'll be like Tarzan like I said, cuz how the hell did he ended up there?

I think he's gonna be close to Dragon to the point of bonding brotherhood, cuz look at the pic; they went on the same portal, and they give off brotherly vibes too when they left. So I think Dragon and Shakti are gonna hang out a lot.

Title: Chandrayaan 3: India's Next Giant Leap in Lunar Exploration

Introduction

In the realm of space exploration, India has emerged as a prominent player, making significant strides in recent years. One of the most awaited missions that has captured the world's attention is Chandrayaan 3, India's third lunar mission. Following the successes of Chandrayaan 1 and Chandrayaan 2, this mission promises to take India's lunar exploration endeavors to new heights. In this blog, we will explore the key aspects of Chandrayaan 3 and why it is so exciting for space enthusiasts and scientists alike.

Chandrayaan 3: A Brief Overview

Chandrayaan 3 is the third installment in India's Chandrayaan program, which aims to explore Earth's celestial neighbor, the Moon. The mission follows Chandrayaan 2, which was launched in July 2019 and achieved significant success, despite the Vikram lander's unsuccessful soft landing attempt.

Here are some key features of Chandrayaan 3:

Redefined Goals: Chandrayaan 3 builds upon the previous missions' successes and failures, with a primary focus on achieving a successful soft landing on the Moon's surface. This marks a crucial shift in the mission's objectives, as the previous Chandrayaan missions focused on lunar orbiters and exploring the Moon's surface from afar.

Collaborative Effort: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is collaborating with various international space agencies and organizations for Chandrayaan 3, including NASA. This collaboration opens up opportunities for shared scientific discoveries and technological advancements.

Advanced Technology: Chandrayaan 3 will utilize cutting-edge technology and lessons learned from previous missions to enhance its chances of success. This includes improvements in navigation, communication, and landing systems.

Scientific Goals: While the primary aim is to achieve a successful soft landing, Chandrayaan 3 will also carry scientific instruments to conduct experiments on the Moon's surface, analyze lunar soil samples, and study the Moon's geology and topography.

Why Chandrayaan 3 Matters

Chandrayaan 3 is a mission of paramount importance for several reasons:

National Pride: India has shown tremendous growth in space technology and exploration. Chandrayaan 3 serves as a symbol of national pride and technological prowess, showcasing India's capabilities on the global stage.

Scientific Discovery: The mission is expected to provide invaluable data about the Moon's surface and geology, aiding our understanding of lunar history and the solar system's formation.

International Collaboration: By collaborating with international space agencies, India not only shares the costs and risks but also contributes to the global scientific community. Chandrayaan 3 is part of a larger effort to expand human knowledge beyond Earth.

Inspiration: Chandrayaan 3 inspires a new generation of scientists, engineers, and space enthusiasts in India and around the world. It fosters curiosity and encourages STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education.

Conclusion

Chandrayaan 3 represents India's unwavering commitment to space exploration and scientific discovery. With its revised goals, international collaborations, and advanced technology, it has the potential to not only achieve a historic soft landing on the Moon but also contribute significantly to our understanding of the lunar surface and the solar system's mysteries.

As we eagerly await the launch of Chandrayaan 3, the world watches with bated breath, hoping for another success story that will leave an indelible mark on the annals of space exploration. This mission reinforces India's status as a rising space power and serves as a testament to the human spirit of exploration and curiosity that knows no bounds.

National Tell a Fairy Tale Day 

Gather round the fire, and make yourselves comfortable… Tell A Fairy Tale Day is all about exploring myths and stories, old and new. From grim(m) tales to urban legends, tap the dark corners of your subconscious and see what you find…

History of Tell A Fairy Tale Day

The sharing of magical, otherworldly stories is a tale as old as time. While the term ‘fairy tale’ was coined in 1697 by Madame d’Aulnoy (conte de fées in her native French), it’s likely that some fairy tales originated as early as the bronze age over 6,000 years ago. And for most of history, fairy tales have been passed on not in written form but via the oral tradition, with each generation telling and dramatizing stories to the next.

The fairy tale’s ancient roots can be traced all over the world, from Vikram-Betaal in India and Aesop’s Fables in Ancient Greece to Arabian Nights in the Middle East. It was during the late 17th to 19th centuries that fairy tale collectors emerged, most famously Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm. While the Brothers Grimm aimed to preserve folktales in their pure form, documenting them in the way they were told by rural peasants unable to read or write, Perrault and others reworked fairy tales for literary and artistic effect, with some writers such as Hans Christian Andersen dreaming up their own new stories.  

As the fairy tale’s history emerges into the modern day, it’s clear that the genre is still as popular as ever – look no further than the success of Disney movies to see how these stories continue to capture our hearts and imaginations. In fact, the famous Disney castle is inspired by Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, built by none other than the Märchenkönig (fairy-tale king), Ludwig II of Bavaria, himself. Perched on a rocky hill and with horse-drawn carriage rides up to the front door, Neuschwanstein and its elaborate interior abound in myths and legends – the castle is even home to an artificial grotto!

By celebrating Tell A Fairy Tale Day, you’ll be continuing the magical tradition that has ensured fairy tales are still very much part of our lives to this day.

How fairy tales change over time

Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of fairy tales is how they change over time. Simple plot structures, motifs and archetypal characters recurring across many cultures make these stories rife for adaptation and reinterpretation.

Although nowadays we usually associate fairy tales with children’s literature, you may be surprised to learn that many of today’s beloved stories have rather dark and disturbing origins. Imagine a world in which no woodcutter comes to save Little Red Riding Hood from the wolf’s belly, or in which one of the ugly stepsisters cuts off her own toes so that her foot fits in the slipper! From the 18th century onwards, many fairy tales were toned down and reworked so that they were more suitable for children.

These stories and the genre itself have also been adapted and reinvented for different time periods and cultures. Alongside original modern-day fairy tales, there are also various retellings, for example in urban settings or different countries. One particularly common type of retelling comes from women writers. Authors such as Angela Carter and Margaret Atwood have taken what are often seen as outdated tropes about women and reinvented them – the damsel in distress becomes the plucky heroine, and the trapped bride leaves her ogre husband for her happily ever after.

Why fairy tales are important

As it is often claimed Albert Einstein once said, “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” We might not expect such high praise for fairy tales from a world-famous theoretical physicist, but Einstein recognized the importance of the imagination. Fairy tales are incredibly valuable for both children and adults when it comes to learning about the world in which we live and developing our capacity for creativity. Fairy tales have also been considered fertile ground by psychoanalysts. With their twists and turns, age-old themes and familiar characters, our favorite stories may reveal not only the workings of our personal subconscious but also the fundamental elements of our collective psyche.  

How to celebrate Tell A Fairy Tale Day

It should be clear by now that, when it comes to celebrating Tell A Fairy Tale Day, you really can let your imagination run wild! And while it’s a day that kids will love, it’s also a great occasion for adults too.

Gather your friends and family and take it in turns to share your favorite stories with one another. Time to brush up on your acting skills, as the more dramatic enactments the better – whether you’re good at impersonating a wicked witch or excel at acting out the characters’ quest through the enchanted forest, you’ll want to really make the tale come to life for your audience. And why not sit around a bonfire toasting marshmallows or string up some fairy lights in your living room to add to the atmosphere?

Alongside sharing the stories we know and love, fairy tales are the perfect genre for getting creative and honing your writing skills. Take a well-known story and tweak it to fit a different time or setting, or have a crack at inventing your own. It may well start with ‘Once upon a time’, but it’s completely up to you whether there’s a ‘Happily ever after’! Many libraries and literary organizations will also share stories and creative resources and even hold events to help mark the occasion.

If writing’s not your thing, then there are plenty of films and programs based on fairy tales for you to enjoy. Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Cinderella and The Little Mermaid are just some examples of the media giant’s adaptations, while movies and TV series such as Into the Woods and Tell Me a Story interweave and retell various classic fairy tales for new audiences.

And if you feel like going all out, why not host a fairy tale themed party? Encourage your guests to come in fancy dress, put on an enchanted feast of yummy snacks such as gingerbread houses and toadstool cupcakes, and throw some legendary party games like hunt the pea and castle building.  

However you choose to celebrate Tell A Fairy Tale Day, it’s sure to be a magical occasion!
