Journey to Kdramas

Ok! I love watching dramas since my childhood not only of my country's industry but I was also interested in watching foreign dramas where I would get to know about their language, their culture, traditions and all. I was only watching Pakistani and Indian dramas at that time when I found my interest in fantasy dramas.

You all have probably idea that there's not any fantasy in Pakistani and Indian dramas except that Ghost, Black Magic, Naagin or maybe some horror sounding superstitions.

So, I started searching for some fantasy dramas on international level. There was a website, Top 10 Fantasy dramas. I opened that site and read all drama names one by one. There one name caught my attention, My Love From the Star. It's name sounds alluring to me. So I decided to watch it. In this way, It was my first kdrama.

My second kdrama was, Legend Of the blue Sea. And it was absolutely pretty interesting. So there's a long, long watch list ahead I made in these four years.

I am crazy right? I watched tons of Korean, Chinese, Taiwenese, thai dramas and Uprince series.

So if anyone interested, I can recommend.

MPD/DID

What is this?

You have probably heard of this before right?

DID_ Dissociative Identity Disorder.

MPD_ Multiple Personality Disorder.

I was not aware of this term before until I watched a Chinese Drama “A Seven-Faced man.” I first took it like a mere fantasy, fiction thing. But then I realised it actually happens. It is real.

It is real how you develop multiple personalities in yourself that your own real personality is at the point of fading out. Your multiple personalities are looking for dominance over the actual one. And you are not just aware of yourself like what’s wrong with you. What’s happening around you. What’s happening within you.

Now this depends how your personalities created. What was the loop hole they get. How powerful they are. How weak they are. How dangerous they are. And most importantly how they can control you…

It is not common. It is a very very rare disease that even at some point we can’t believe. It seems surreal. But still it is real…

It actually happens due to extreme abusing, pressure, fear, stress that you might faced in your childhood which causes amnesia at certain points.

You just doesn’t remember that horrible event that already happened instead your multiple personalities are created who might shared your pain or your lost memory clips and all. <reference from drama mentioned up there>

And it can be cured by resolving that bad event or by contacting any psychiatrist or any other way.

And it is different than Schizophrenia. These two are different things. As there’s not any concept of split personality in schizophrenia.

Bubbling Waters

Have you ever sipped a fizzy soft drink to settle an upset stomach? People have long believed that bubbling waters contain healing properties. For centuries royalty and wealthy Europeans sought the health benefits of the mineral-rich, bubbling springs scattered throughout Europe.

Scientists in Europe and the United States attempted to reproduce these effervescent waters. In 1775 French chemist Antoine Lavoisier identified the gaseous compound as carbon dioxide. In 1782, the English chemist Thomas Henry described how to make artificial carbonated water commercially. Factories and bottling plants soon began operating in London, Paris, Dublin and Geneva.

Soft drinks were originally stored in Drugstores in the United States as syrupy tonics used for medicinal purposes. In the early 1800s it became popular to combine these tonics with carbonated water. Bottled colas appeared on the market in the late 1800s.

Today mineral waters and carbonated beverages are popular throughout the world. People like the tangy, sparkling taste provided by carbonation, which also prevents spoilage.

Letter of Li Bo to his two Small Children

Li Bo, courtesy name Fengxian, was a military general and warlord who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty of imperial China.

 Since Li Bo spent much of his time in traveling, he was often separated from his family. He wrote and sent the following poem to his Children, staying in Eastren Lu at Wen Yang Village under Turtle Mountain.

               Here in Wu land mulberry leaven are green,

               Silkworms in Wu have now had three sleeps:

               My family, left in Eastren Lu,

               Oh, to sow now turtle-shaded feilds,

               Do the spring things I can never join,

               Sailing Yangtse always on my own-

               Let the South wind blow you back my heart,

               Fly and land it in the Tavern court

               Where, to the east, there are sprays and leave

               Of one peach-tree, Sweeping the blue mist;

               This is the tree I myself put in

               When I left you, nearly three years past;

               A peach-tree now level with the eaves

               And I sailing cannot yet turn home!

               Pretty daughter P'ing-yang is your name,

               Breaking Blossom, there beside my tree,

               Breaking Blossom, you cannot see me

               And your tears flow like the running stream;

               And little son Po'ch in you are called, 

               Your big sister's shoulder you must reach

               When you come there underneath my peach,

               Oh, to pat and pet you too, my child!

               I dreamt like this till my wits went wild,

               By such yearning daily burned within;

               So tore my silk, wrote this distant pang

               From me to you living at Wen Yang....

               

               

The Korean War (1950-1953)

On June 25, 1950, North Korea, hoping to unify the country under a communist government, invaded South Korea. The United Nations Security Council, in the absent of the sovient union, immediately voted to condemn the invasion and organize an army to oppose it. Whioe 16 countries contributed troops to the UN force, more than 90% of the soldiers came from the United Nations.

                   In the first months of the war, the North Koreans swept southward, conquering almost all of South Korea. However on September 15, 1950, the UN troops counterattacked, led by General Douglas MacArthur of the United States. MacArthur launched a surprise invasion at Incheon, along Korea's west coast and far behind the North Korean front lines. The daring move gave the UN forces the offensive they needed. Within Six weeks, Mac Arthur's troops had retaken all of South Korea and had conquered most of North Korea.

                  The Chinese then came to an aid of their ally, North Korea. Chinese troops forced the UN army to retreat southward. By the middle of 1951, after one year of fighting, each army dug in along a line not far from from the 28th parallel. There the fighting reached a stalemate, a situation in which two opponents are unable to move significantly or make further gains. Truce talks began on July 10, 1951. The armies continued to attack one another but neither side advanced very far.

                 On July 27, 1953, the two sides agreed to stop fighting and accept a temporary armistice line that divided Korea along the existing battlefront. After the deaths of nearly 5 million people and the devastation of much of Korea, the war ended with Korea still divided not far from where it had been divided three years earlier.
