United Kingdom - The Classic Beauty Diep Tran

The UK is where I found a hand-written parcel list stuck on the window of the porter's office, where I saw those little

ducklings following their mom, where I ran after the pink and purple light of sunset at the end of day, and where I

caught a beautiful scene of an old couple sitting in front of the library and reading books under the umbrella. I don't

know if I'll go back there in the future and I don't know if I will meet those people again. The world is so big but it's

round, too! Lancaster went from an unfamiliar place to a part of my 20s I will not forget!

Caste System In Nepal Ishan Katwal

In Nepal, during the ancient times, people started being classified into different castes on the basis

of their occupations. The priests belonged in the Brahmin caste, the warriors in the Kshetriya caste, merchants in

the Sudras and so on. Slowly, this manifested into a social hierarchy where some castes were considered superior

to others and this paved way for centuries of oppression, especially for people considered "untouchable". Come find

out the historical and current status of this unique system.
