'cause nothin' lasts forever, even cold november rain
hello, hello!
how are you?
another month comes to an end; it’s getting cold and cosy out here. winters are gently arriving, and the morning sun cooing in.
october passed in a jiffy, with loads of festivities throughout the month - it has been a month of reflections and pauses.
i am struggling to find the right words for this month’s letter; we are a community of 100+ folks.
honestly, i dint imagine that we would become a community of 100+ folks so fast.
thank you for being here and constantly cheering me to continue writing my rants!
i am listening to november rain by guns & roses as i type this letter, it’s another song which i grew up listening to and these lines have my heart.
so never mind the darkness, we still can find a way
'cause nothin' lasts forever, even cold november rain
before starting this letter, i was listening about the subsidy wars which are likely to happen in across the european union if germany goes ahead with its mega subsidy scheme - global affairs seem to be tied up in a stressed state since the post-covid world began.
the russian invasion which started early in february this year has continued to go on till now and like any invasion this one too has deep repercussions on the world.
don’t you worry though, if you are a student of history like me or if you like listening to guns & roses you’d know nothing lasts forever - we’d survive, rise and shine :)
anyhow, let’s look at everything interesting that happened in october
