“Shoot the older students”

A group of Taliban gunmen attacked an army-run school in Peshawar, northwestern Pakistan, on Dec. 16 and the reported death toll is horrifying.

Over 130 people, including 100 children, have been killed in the attack.

More than 100 have also been injured after some 500 people were trapped when terrorists stormed the compound that houses the Army Public School and College.

A Taliban spokesman told wire services that the militants were ordered to kill the older children and release the younger ones.

“It’s a revenge attack for the army offensive in North Waziristan,” spokesman Muhammad Umar Khorasani told Reuters.

Six terrorists have been killed by security forces, a Pakistani general said, adding that operations had slowed down because of the risk of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) planted inside the school.

It took the army over six hours to gain full control of the premises.

"Decía la abuela que cuando una mujer se sintiera triste lo mejor que podía hacer era trenzarse el cabello; de esta manera el dolor quedaría atrapado entre los cabellos y no podría llegar hasta el resto del cuerpo; había que tener cuidado de que la tristeza no se metiera en los ojos pues los haría llover, tampoco era bueno dejarla entrar en nuestros labios pues los obligaría a decir cosas que no eran ciertas, que no se meta entre tus manos- me decía- porque puedes tostar de más el café o dejar cruda la masa; y es que a la tristeza le gusta el sabor amargo.

Cuando te sientas triste niña, trénzate el cabello; atrapa el dolor en la madeja y déjalo escapar cuando el viento del norte pegue con fuerza. Nuestro cabello es una red capaz de atraparlo todo, es fuerte como las raíces del ahuehuete y suave como la espuma del atole.”

New Cycle.

After more than year I decide to create a new blog where I can easily rant about the images and thoughts that hover over the head. It has been over a year since I deleted my old tumblr blog (which was pretty 'successful' in the tumblr world), and it isn't until now that I have the energy to get back on it and continue posting, blogging, reblogging, arguing and ranting about things that matter in my own little world.  In the past year or so I have learned that things happen for a reason and that there is no such thing as failure; instead my eyes, mind & soul have discovered the essence of living. My hope is to express my existential experience on this new platform and bombard Tumblr with pictures of my new kitty :D
