Stale Mate
Dear my friend, who needs to listen to my every word. I am done. I’ve finally had enough of it all. Now is the time to pack it all in because I can’t stomach it anymore. For hours I wait to be greeted and yet you pay me no attention. The moment I wake I am full of energy, ready to start the day and yet you have no time for me. Why bother in the first place? Do you even bother to look at me?

"Gentlemen - ladies - I wash my hands of this madness". Content Warning.
To My “Beloved” Students, Congratulations! You’ve done it. You’ve finally broken me. I am officially resigning from my post as your glorified babysitter, unpaid therapist, personal Google, and the human embodiment of “Why do we even need to learn this?” Effective immediately (or earlier, if the urge to run screaming into the woods becomes too strong to resist), I am taking my red pens, my lesson plans, and the last shreds of my dignity (and sanity) and walking directly into the sunset. Or traffic. TBD.

The Great Brexit "Reset": A Tale of Fish and Friendship
In a stunning display of diplomatic gymnastics that would make even the most flexible contortionist envious, Britain and the European Union have finally agreed to a "reset" of relations. After years of Brexit-induced hostility, the two sides have decided that perhaps being at each other's throats wasn't the most productive approach after all. Who would have thought?

Resigning From the Role I Never Applied For
Dear Friends, Acquaintances, and Emotional Freeloaders: After much soul-searching, three sleepless nights, a half bottle of Cabernet, and one highly unnecessary loop of Whitney Houston’s “Greatest Love of All”, I, Anthony, am officially and unequivocally resigning from my unofficial, unpaid, and unappreciated position as Everyone’s Reliable Rock, Personal Therapist, Emergency Lifeguard, Calendar Adjuster, and Default Cheerleader.

Dear Cupid, I Hate You. Honorable Mention in I Resign From… Challenge.

A letter to the system that was never built for me. Runner-Up in I Resign From… Challenge.
I resign. No, this is not your traditional resignation letter. There are no two weeks’ notice from an unapologetic soul. No pretense of gratitude padded in euphemisms like “new opportunities” or “a fresh chapter.” No cordial signing off. I am not resigning from a company, a role, or a team. I am resigning from a system. A gaslit, rigged, suffocating machine built on structural racism, misogyny, false meritocracy, and a cycle that asks me to prove myself at every turn, only to be punished for succeeding.

Do Not Underestimate The Aunties And The Kids
Let us talk about a travel experience unlike any other. Forget luxury coaches quiet cabins or even predictable timings. We are diving headfirst into the glorious exhilarating occasionally baffling world of India’s local trains. It is not mere transport it is a swirling vibrant chaotic spectacle. It is a way of life for millions and once you witness it you understand why people are utterly obsessed.
