The entries in the said essay are far more interesting, just my humble opinion. I am a big fan of Hemmingway and the whole idea of a solitary fisherman going up against a mighty fish is something that can always pull on the heart strings.

Dont know much of the Darkness in the social political scene, but I am very familiar with the stories he regularly writes.

I have a new year wish. I hope the fisher comes home safely with his catch. I hope unlike the old man in the sea in Hemmingway's story, he would never have to lament the passing of his catch or fight off the sharks.

I hope he sees light wherever he is in his tiny little boat in the vast ocean. I will pray for him.

I am soo tired already and I'm nowhere near done yet.It's just that I am only doing work all the time. I dont even sleep most nights and then extraordinary magical things are expected when I am in the classroom with the cretins. Can someone please shed light on what happens if someone pulls out of the bond.Is anything rescinded.Who blacklists you and from what. Are you taken into a backroom and beaten till you say the teacher's pledge backwards in contrition. I need to know because currently I feel no joy in any part of the job. Everything seems to be determined at the top and I feel like a glorified errand-person. So someone shed light on the bond-breaking after-life.please
