We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.

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.
1. Welcome to Generation Three, part three of the Wrongway Legacy!
Last time, we saw a variety of proposals, the family slowly dealing with Elizabeth's
death, university winding down, a toga party among other parties, dates, more
proposals, a zombie and a wedding.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, you might want to go back and catch up :)
Onto the current chapter ->
2. Night had fallen in Rubix, and four vampires were already sat in a meeting.
“This had better be worth our while.” Marcel muttered, before clearing his throat,
“Hex, what request are you making to the vampire council?”
3. “Thank you for letting me call this meeting at such short notice. I owe you all-”
“Hex,” Marcel interrupted, “what is it that you want?”
“Numbers of the Supernatural Court have fallen considerably. Only myself, Phillip
and our resident Plantsim, Blossom, remain. I have decided to ask for your help
over matters of the Wrongways.”
“Ridiculous, we're already part of the court.” Kendall, the blonde vampire, stated.
4. “What happened to the other members of the court?” Marcel questioned,
confused, “Ariel, and that simself?”
Hex raised his eyebrows, “Ariel was aligned with Ralph, and I did not know that
the person to recently leave our court was a simself.”
“Why did they leave? What was their reasoning?” Kendra, a vampire from
Marcel's coven asked.
“No reason was given.”
5. “It is highly unusual for these circumstances to take place.” Kendall added,with a
slight frown.
“I must agree with Kendall here, Hex. What you are asking of the vampires is for
them to risk their own immortality to protect some family.” Marcel was horribly
confused – why was it that Hex felt the need to protect the Wrongways from
matters they caused?
6. “This means you will not help me, then?” Hex questioned, remembering that
politeness was always a good strategy to maintain around vampires.
It was difficult, especially as they weren't looking to accept his proposal.
7. Kendra smiled, “Whether it is in the best interests of my current coven or not, I
would be interested in assisting you, Hex. Immortality is a lonely lifestyle, and I
would welcome the chance to make a difference.”
“Kendra,” Marcel said, sharply, “the rules of our coven clearly state you must wait
for my decision before you are able to act on a proposal.”
“Marcel, with all due respect, should this proposal not be accepted, I am willing to
found my own coven without so many rules.”
8. “Kendall,” Marcel asked, gently, ignoring the threat from Kendra, “what is your
opinion? In order to fulfill Hex's wishes, we would have to work together in one
coven.”
“I don't see much choice, Marcel. If we do not help Hex with his issues, Kendra will
break away from your coven to found her own. We are in no position to allow a
mutiny.”
“Indeed. So it is agreed that we will accept Hex's proposal.”
9. “Am I correct in assuming you're willing to work with me?” Hex dared to ask.
“You are correct to assume so. Our covens will put our differences aside and
function as one to assist your protection of the Wrongway family.” Kendall
answered, a business-like tone controlling her voice.
“I am very happy to hear that.”
10. Elsewhere in Rubix, a pair of newly-weds were about to celebrate their union, in
the new bedroom of the Wrongway home.
“It was a beautiful wedding,” Grace smiled, “I'm glad you didn't leave me.”
“I promised you I wouldn't.” Orlando leaned in for a kiss.
11. The early hours of the next morning brought vomiting.
With a shudder, Grace looked up from the toilet, “I knew we should have hired a
caterer, rather than let Eli cook our wedding dinner.”
12. “So are you feeling better now, Grace?” Orlando asked, as the pair cooked dinner
for the household.
“A little bit, yes. It's a really strange feeling.” Grace's stomach turned again, “Ooh,
I'll be back in a minute!”
As Grace dashed for the bathroom again, Orlando concentrated on his spaghetti,
“I hope she's okay.”
13. So while Grace turned in for an early night, Cassidy took it upon herself to teach
Orlando the hula.
At this rate, everyone in the neighbourhood will be infected by the hula.
14. The next morning brought the news that Grace was carrying the first child of
Generation Four, which inflicted excitement on the household.
“Just think, Gracie, in a few days, we'll be parents!” Orlando grinned, as he
carefully placed his hands on the baby bump, “Hi there, little one, I'm your daddy.”
“I can't wait to meet the little one,” Grace told him, despite how obvious this fact
was.
15. “So, I sense that I'm going to be a grandmother soon.” Cassidy smiled,
encouragingly at Grace.
“I'm not sure if we're ready, Mum. What if I'm an awful mother?”
“Grace, every pregnant woman has that worry at some point. How do you think I
felt when my baby was kidnapped, and then I found out I was carrying twins?”
Cassidy paused, thoughtfully, “Sweetie, you'll do great. You've already proved to
us that you can cope.”
Grace grinned, “I love you, Mum.”
16. The Wrongways found themselves with time to spare as they waited for the baby
to make its appearance.
Time spent skilling, or playing the guitar, writing bad songs and singing the night
away.
17. Eventually, the pregnancy came to an end, in the middle of the night. Grace woke
up slowly, feeling slightly odd.
“Orlando...” She whispered, “Orlando? I feel really strange...”
“Murrr....” Orlando replied, rolling over, and mumbled something about it being
'normal'.
18. Unfortunately for Orlando, the baby wasn't about to wait for a more reasonable
hour.
“ORLANDO!” Grace yelled, as the pain worsened, “YOU MIGHT WANT TO GET
UP NOW!!”
19. Of course, once Grace started screaming, the entire house knew that the next
generation was about to make its debut.
“Honey, breathe, we talked about this...” Cassidy tried her best to be reassuring,
while Liam tried his best to hide the smile on his face – he couldn't wait to be a
grandfather.
20. “Orlando, come meet our baby girl,” Grace was smiling in awe as she held the
baby up.
“A baby girl,” Orlando repeated proudly, “I'm a daddy.”
“Can we call her Lavender?”
“It's the perfect name for our perfect girl.”
21. The evening after Lavender's birth was Eli's bachelor party, and the men of the
generation headed out to the nightclubs to dance away Eli's last night of 'freedom'.
No one mentioned the fact he couldn't wait to get married in the morning.
22. Eli headed up to the bar to get a drink and cool down from the dancing that was
taking place, when he stumbled across a familiar face.
“Nancy?” He wondered, “Nancy, the girl I dated in High School?”
She looked up, and smiled, “Eli! How have you been?”
23. Hours passed while the pair of them sat talking, their words gradually slurring from
the amount of juice each of them had drank.
“So you see...I didn't want to go to uni,” Nancy finished explaining whatever point
she was trying to make. Somewhere along the way she had forgotten what it was
she had been talking about.
24. The pair of them got off their barstools and faced the dancefloor, senses spinning.
Nancy looked at Eli, and realised she wanted to be his girlfriend still.
“Should we dance?” Eli asked, ending his question with a hiccup and a drunken
giggle.
“Of course.”
25. However, dancing wasn't the only thing on the agenda for the party, at least not for
Nancy and Eli.
26. “Eli will really regret this if he remembers it in the morning.” Orlando said to
himself, as he watched Nancy and Eli dance closer and closer to each other.
27. Eli's friends, those who had turned out to celebrate the night, Orlando, Jerry and
Knut, could barely bring themselves to look in Eli's direction as dancing
progressed into kissing.
“If I don't see it, it's not happening.” Jerry told himself, again and again, directing
his attention away from the couple.
28. For Eli, it was certainly turning into a night to remember. If he could remember it,
given the amount of juice he had drunk.
But of course, it was about to get worse.
30. The morning light streamed through the windows of the Shahan's house, as De
checked her appearance in the mirror for the fifth time.
“Are you sure the dress isn't too...odd for my wedding, Mrs Wrongway?” De
asked.
“De, you are beautiful. Now if only my son would show up.”
31. “I'm really worried about him,” De admitted, “I haven't seen him since last night.
“Don't worry, De, Jerry, Knut, Orlando, Liam and Frankie are all out looking for
him. He's bound to be somewhere.”
“I hope so. I don't want to be the only one at the end of the aisle today.”
32. “He'll be here, De. You know how important today is to him.”
“So why is he late? If it's that important, where is he?”
33. “De, he probably just lost track of the time, it'll all work out, I promise.”
“Alright. I trust you, Mrs Wrongway.”
“Please, call me Cassidy.”
34. “You look beautiful, De. Grace just popped in and told me Liam's back, which
probably means Eli is around somewhere.”
De felt a flood of relief as this news arrived, “That's really good.”
“I'll come back and let you know when it's time. Okay?”
35. Eli's mind cleared as he rose from the unfamiliar bed, knowing it was his wedding
day.
“What have I done?” He asked himself, guilt rising.
36. “Is the wedding still going ahead?” Elizabeth asked. It had been an hour since the
wedding was due to start, and there was still no sign of Eli.
“Of course it is!” Cassidy answered, fiercely. Orlando was too busy kissing his own
bride, but Knut pulled a face, recalling events from the night before.
37. When Eli did eventually show up, Liam was less than happy to see him.
“I don't know what you're playing at, boy, but you've got some nerve, showing up
late to your own wedding.” Liam scolded, as if Eli was still a child.
“I know, I know, but I'm here now, surely that counts for something.”
“Get your tux on, De is waiting.”
38. Eli arrived at the wedding arch, and pulled a face. The guilt was still there, biting
and itching, but he had to put it to one side. This was the happiest day of his life,
and De deserved better.
“Eli?” De asked, concerned.
“Hmm? What's the matter?”
“You still want to do this?”
“Of course. Why wouldn't I?”
39. The vows were short, and reflected the couple's courtship in some respects,
meeting and falling for each other accidently.
Eli's guilt was washed out with happiness. No one had to know what had
happened on the night of his bachelor party.
41. “You asked to see me, Miss Ariel?” Grayson, of Kendall's coven asked, arriving at
the mansion where Ariel and Ralph lived, “You appear to be expecting, miss.”
It was late at night, the perfect time for striking deals with vampires, and Ariel was
in a foul mood, “Ten out of ten for observation skills.”
“Forgive me, I was just...”
“Yeah, whatever. Look, I need you to do something for me. I'll pay you to help me
take down the Wrongway family.”
“But I have sworn to protect their family.”
“If you don't help me, I will have you killed.”
42. “While I am immortal, I am certain you would find a way to kill me. Consider our
deal arranged.”
“I shall. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm due to go into labour tonight and I want to
make sure Ralph is around to be introduced to the demons he helped create.”
“Then I shall not keep you. Goodbye, Miss Ariel.”
43. In no time at all, it was time for Ariel to deliver her babies.
“If you say ANYTHING, Ralph, I will hurt you.”
44. “Here, hold your baby boy.”
“He's so small and looks so much like me! Wait...why do you want me to hold it?”
45. As Ariel began shrieking all over again, Ralph held onto his new son, and
watched.
“Twins.” He said, gravely, and let out a sigh.
46. Over at the Wrongway's house, it was time for a birthday. Lavender was about to
become a toddler.
“She's so sweet, Grace.” Liam announced, as Grace leaned forward to blow out
the candles.
“I know. They grow up so fast!” Grace chuckled, knowing she was pregnant with
her second child, but it wasn't showing yet.
47. Lavender Wrongway is an adorable girl, who looks like she's going to be very
mischievous
Lavender is also Cancer with a personality of 6/4/5/4/6 – a fairly neat, almost shy,
active, serious and nice child.
48. Elizabeth and Knut had decided against a large wedding ceremony when they saw
how much attention was paid to Eli and he was only a tiny bit late. Elizabeth had
wanted to avoid attention since she had been resurrected.
“How about we get married right here? I want to be Mrs Wheeler right now!”
Amused, Knut didn't argue, but offered a shrug, “Why not?”
50. Nancy was carrying her son down the street. As much as she loved him, being a
mother didn't fit into her plans at all.
“I know Eli used to live down this way...” Nancy mumbled to herself, wandering in
what she hoped was the right direction.
51. “And did you hear Grace talking about Lavender on the phone last night? Grace
wouldn't stop wittering on about how Lavender had tried to put the dog in the
dishwasher to give it a bath, when she knows I can't have kids!”
“Darling, calm down, or you'll do what you did last time someone had something
you wanted.” Despite the fact Knut was using a variety of euphemisms, Elizabeth
had a feeling he was talking about the reason why she had died.
“It's not fair, I'm the family sim...” Elizabeth frowned with sorrow as the doorbell
rang.
52. With surprise, Elizabeth opened the door to find a toddler perched on her
doorstep,with no parent or guardian in sight.
Confusion struck Elizabeth, and for a moment, she considered calling the
orphanage to see if they had lost a child.
53. “Me Austin!” The little boy announced, and promptly started laughing, in a manner
that Elizabeth found adorable.
54. “Hello, Austin, I'm your new Mummy.” Elizabeth smiled.
“Mummy!” Austin answered back.
55. That night, there were another two toddlers in Rubix; a set of Wrongway twins.
From a Wrongway who should have been long dead.
Ariel had eventually settled on naming the twins Aphrodite and Hercules, 'just
because' when Ralph had asked why. The pair didn't need much attention
because they had each other.
Already, Aphrodite was Ariel's favourite, and Ralph couldn't be bothered with either
child.
56. Hercules is a Scorpio, with a personality of 5/5/9/5/1. A fairly neat, fairly outgoing,
super active, fairly playful and grouchy child.
Hercules's sister, Aphrodite, is also a Scorpio, with a personality of 8/8/10/4/5.
And both of them are cute. :)
57. And here is where I leave you!
Will Eli realise he is the father of his twin's adopted baby? Will Lavender really be
as mischievous as she already looks? What lays ahead for the twins? And what
about the vampires? Will they protect the Wrongways as they promised?
Join me next time for this and more babies!
