It challenges our definitions of normalcy, success, and happiness, suggesting that our rigid and unquestioning adherence to these so-called norms leads to existential restlessness and unease. Instead of striving, Chuang Tzu would say, be still.

Instead of acquiring, embrace nothingness. Instead of seeking to understand the limitlessness of the universe during your brief and extremely limited existence, enjoy the wonder of it.

Author Siroj Sorajjakool suggests that when we can embrace nothingness, we undergo a spiritual transformation that liberates us to see more clearly and truly find ourselves. Do Nothing is his very personal exploration of Chuang Tzu’s philosophy, which may change how we view our aspirations, our joys and sorrows, our successes and failures, and our (less)

A deadly insurgency, higher opium production, increasing civilian casualties, rampant corruption, an unstable neighbourhood and an uncertain political future remain the defining features of the complex and combustible situation that obtains in Afghanistan. Further, the presence of safe havens in Pakistans lawless frontier regions have played a seminal role in sustaining the insurgency in Afghanistan and fuelling instability in Pakistan, thus making it impossible to visualize a solution to the Afghan quagmire in isolation.

Given the above background what could be alternative future scenarios in Afghanistan say in next 4 to 5 years time and 8 to (less)

Other volatile and widespread elements that manifest in ethno-national and ethno-territorial conflicts, poverty, unemployment, arms smuggling, and drug-trafficking have also been dealt with. The book focuses on the growing influence of USA, Russia, China, Iran and Turkey in the Central Asian States.

His name was Kyougjong Yandg. In 1938, at the age of eighteen, Yang had been forcibly conscipted by the Japanese into their Kwantung Army in Manchuria.

A year later, he was captured by the Red Army after the Battle of Khalkin gol and sent to a labour camp. The Soviet military authorities, at a moment of crisis in 1942, drafted him along with thousands of other prisoners into their forces.

then, early in 1943 he was taken prisoner at the Battle of Karkov in Ukraine by the German army. In 1944, now in German uniform, he was sent to France to serve with an Ostbataillon supposedly boosting the strength of the Atalantic Wall at the base of the Cotentin Peninsula inland from Utah Beach.
