100+ Best Appreciation Message for Girlfriend.pdfPrashant Parihar
Appreciation Message for Girlfriend: My dearest girlfriend, Words cannot express how much I appreciate and love you. You are the light in my dark times and my reason for living. I am so grateful to have you in my life.
Thank you for always being there for me, for supporting me, and for loving me. I am truly blessed to have you in my life. Thank you for making every day an adventure. I cannot imagine my life without you.
I love you more than anything and I promise to always make you feel loved and appreciated. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I am so grateful that you are mine.
She is always there for me when I need her, no matter what. She listens when I need to talk, and she provides support and love without judgment. She’s my best friend and I know that I can count on her for anything.’
Appreciation Message for Girlfriend
Looking back, I wish I would have waited. I can’t change the decisions I made back then, but I do wish I would have waited to be diagnosed with depression. I am still diagnosed with depression and have a constant yearning to be sober.
I have met so many sober friends, but it has been really hard. Yes, I’m grateful to have friends who make the decision not to drink, but it has been hard on me that they have continued to even visit me in my room. I’m not staying at home alone all the time, and it’s not for the reason that I don’t get drunk anymore. I can get drunk in my room now.
The primary reason for my decision to be sober is that I am a single man. I am blessed in the sense that I am still single even though I live with a lifelong sober woman. So, I was very lucky to be in a relationship with someone who is not, and was also very lucky in the sense that she kept a bottle of tequila in the fridge just in case I needed it.
Appreciation Post for Girlfriend
She would help me find it on my own, and also pick up some food and water — she helped with every single part of my recovery. She wasn’t even the one who found the bottle of tequila.
For a few months in 2015, I started coming home drunk early on the weekends, and in those mornings, she would get mad. “What happened when I get home drunk?” I would ask. She would then tell me the answer, and as any woman would, she would complain. “She’s a good and kind girl.” She just wanted to be around me drunk, and she doesn’t need someone who drinks.
I was so surprised that she would be mad. I had been in that kind of a relationship before, where my drinking kept him awake through the night. Not to be insensitive to my girlfriend’s feelings, but I was concerned for her. I had a difficult time telling her that I wasn’t going out drinking on weekends. She just brushed it off as “artificial light,” and told me that alcohol is for older men.
If she felt this way, she could have stayed home. She only responded by saying how much she liked having me drunk. She didn’t even realize how much hurt she was doing herself.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
