Arundati Roy has been awarded the PEN Pinter Prize, which celebrates writers whose work display an “unflinching, unswerving” look at the world. Roy, who was the first Indian writer to win the Booker Prize in 1997, said she was “delighted” to win the award, saying “I wish Harold Pinter were with us today to write about the almost incomprehensible turn the world is taking.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

We often run across people in our lives who either have a natural healing and calming energy to them and those who seem bent on ruining everything you set out to do whether they mean to or not. Astrology offers a complex and nuanced understanding of personality traits associated with each zodiac sign, attributing both positive and negative aspects to individuals' characters. Among these characteristics, some signs are often hailed for their healing abilities, bringing comfort, peace, and rejuvenation to those around them. Conversely, other signs may possess more destructive tendencies, challenging relationships and personal growth. This article explores the zodiac signs that are traditionally considered the most healing and the most destructive, offering insights into the dual nature of certain astrological influences.
