A River of Thoughts by Prayish is a masterful exploration of the beauty of hidden silent thoughts and conflicts within the seemingly mundane rhythms of life. The nature of the book is ingrained in riverine scaffold. The author has kept the course of the book silent, philosophical, and metaphorically like river. As human life is divided in some stages, so does the course of a river…upper…middle…lower. Drawing parallel from the courses of river, the author paints human existence in similar pattern.

From the outer façade, Singapore looks like a sound representative of republic and functional democracy, but a close look reveals that its operating system has corrupted. Since its independence in 1965, the country has not yet seen any other ruling party except PAP (People's Action Party). It makes sense that after 58 years of rule, the party has captured over the quintessential fabric of the country’s republic. Singapore is a developed economy, peace prevails there, and it houses elected representatives – yet political diversity is missing from the soul of the democracy. In 2023 the commotion around president elections questioned the ethical mechanism of PAP’s manifesto – is it republic friendly party or heading towards electoral dictatorship. Republics and democracies are being implemented across the world. The a
