Recently I watched a movie called “Mountain Man” (2017). The story was set in Gahlaur, Bihar State, in the northeast of India. This is an area where the untouchables, the lowest caste among India's classes, live poorly. It is 60km away from cities with limited road access and no school or hospital. It is surrounded by rocky mountains.

Overcoming winter
Overcoming winter
It is truly winter now. The temperature sometimes drops below -10 degrees Celsius and the trees are bare. However, in a sense, has it not been winter all year since April?

This truth reminds me of the fact that, although winter is a phys...

Democratized Korean army
"Hi, my son! Was it hard training today?" "Yes! It was so tough physically." These are the contents of the KakaoTalk chat yesterday with my only son who joined the army in June this year and now serves as a soldier ranked private in Gangwon Province.

Best Christmas present ever
Seventy years ago navy demolition experts, army engineers and hundreds of other American servicemen, all part of a U.N. force that weeks earlier had numbered over 100,000, watched as a massive explosion - the largest since World War II - erupted over a small port in North Korea.

Mask disposal
Mask disposal
One day, I saw a small abandoned mask near the doorway to my apartment building. Though it featured a cute cartoon character on its surface, it made me feel a bit unpleasant. But I didn't have the courage to pick it up and throw it in the trash. This awkward situation went on for a time until the elevator came and the door opened. I got in and pushed the button to my floor as...

Not too long ago, my Gmail and Facebook accounts were hacked by someone from Turkey. I almost got my Instagram hacked too, but I quickly changed my password and managed to save sole access.

'Patris corde'
As of December 2020, about 1,670,000 people throughout the world have died due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Such a painful worldwide situation regarding the health crisis has brought very serious attention beyond religion and race.

Word is a word
Word is a word
Often a friend, co-worker or relative asks, "May I have a word?" My twisted sense of humor wants to reply, "I don't have a word to give or to lend to you."
