I didn't expect to recover from my second operation but since I did, I consider that I'm living on borrowed time. Every day that dawns is a gift to me and I take it in that way. I accept it gratefully without looking beyond it. I completely forget my physical suffering and all the unpleasantness of my present condition and I think only of the joy of seeing the sun rise once more and of being able to work a little bit, even under difficult conditions.

The hijab controversy too has its roots in the Indian concept of religious exceptionalism. To resolve the controversy, the Indian state will need to abandon the pseudo-secular approach & rely on an approach based on the dual pillars of respect for individual/institutional rights.

On January 25th, exactly 7 years ago, I had an operation. Then Doctors found a benign tumor and removed it (it had to be removed along with 30 cm of the intestine). For me, this is a memorable date, because it could have turned into a malignant one, and there would have been no public, drawings and me. I want to thank the doctors for their work. Thanks

You should have to pass an IQ test before you breed. You have to take a driving test to operate vehicles and an SAT test to get into college. So why don’t you have to take some sort of test before you give birth to children? When I am President, that’s the first rule I will institute.

Medic (Team Fortress 2)
He’s literally THE medic. This guy’s done so much crazy shit to everyone around him, including successfully removing a man’s skeleton while still keeping him alive and implanting a baboon uterus and several fetuses in a guy without him knowing. He’s so incredibly unwell and should not be trusted with medical supplies around anybody
vs
You (Operation [board game])
Yes it is meta, but you are in the position of doctor as you remove the oddest parts from a patient in need. Please, this one is good.

Tiny Curiosity: Etymology of Opera
Origin: The term “opera” comes from the Italian language, which in turn borrowed it from Latin.
Italian Roots: In Italian, “opera” means “work”, both in the sense of labor done and the result produced.
Latin Roots: The Latin word “opera” is derived from “opus”, which means “work” or “effort”.
Proto-Indo-European Roots: The Latin “opus” comes from the Proto-Italic “*opes-”, which in turn comes from the PIE root “*op-”, meaning "to work, produce in abundance".
Interesting Note: The term “soap opera” originated from radio dramas that were originally sponsored by soap manufacturers. These dramas were broadcast during the day, and their target audience was primarily housewives.
Related words from PIE root “*op-”: Opus, Operant, Operate, Cooperation.
This is part of my Tiny Curiosity series. I publish worldbuilding tidbits, trivia, etymology to this blog.
