"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know."

Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American novelist, short-story writer and journalist. Best known for an economical, understated style that significantly influenced later 20th-century writers, he is often romanticized for his adventurous lifestyle and outspoken and blunt public image.

Born: 21 July 1899, Oak Park, Illinois, United States

Died: 2 July 1961 (age 61 years), Ketchum, Idaho, United States

War Veteran: Hemingway served as an ambulance driver in Italy during World War I. He was wounded in action, an experience that deeply influenced his writing, particularly his novel "A Farewell to Arms," which is partly based on his wartime experiences.

Literary Icon: Hemingway is considered one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. His minimalist writing style, characterized by short, declarative sentences and understated emotion, revolutionized modern literature. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954 for his "masterpieces" which "shimmer with a unique style."

Adventure and Travel: Hemingway was known for his adventurous spirit and love of travel. He often sought out dangerous or exotic locales for his writing and personal pursuits, such as bullfighting in Spain, big-game hunting in Africa, and fishing in Cuba. His experiences in these settings often found their way into his stories and novels.

The Old Man and the Sea: One of Hemingway's most famous works is the novella "The Old Man and the Sea," published in 1952. It tells the story of an ageing Cuban fisherman, Santiago, who engages in an epic struggle with a giant marlin far out at sea. The novella won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and contributed to Hemingway receiving the Nobel Prize.

Personal Life and Demise: Hemingway led a tumultuous personal life marked by marriages, divorces, and struggles with mental health. He was married four times and had three sons. Sadly, Hemingway also battled depression and alcoholism throughout his life. He tragically took his own life in 1961 at the age of 61, leaving behind a legacy of literary brilliance and enduring influence.

In fond memory of my doddappa!

We, the Sharmas of Kappettu, have a war veteran in our family – my doddappa, a kind and loving soul and an inspiration to the Sharmas of Kappetu and all who knew him. Late Shri Rajagopala Sharma, my dad’s eldest brother, was born on 4th Dec, 1921. Living in Trivandrum where his parents, (my grandparents) lived at the time, he began contributing to the family’s meagre income right from the tender…

One of the greatest things to ever happen in the month of September, especially on 9/11, was for the day my mother was born! There are too many layers to dig into with one post. I told you earlier today that I’m starting to see how you taught to keep a servant’s heart posture. You showed me what it meant to be a real evangelist. You taught me how to not ignore the things in the spirit that I see and hear (when I chose to be obedient to listen lol 🙄 we’re working on that). Watching your journey and listening to your fights through the pain, the pushbacks, the unknown, etc. has given me insight when helping direct others from the unforeseen things they’re facing. You are truly beyond inspirational and you are so needed in this world 🌍! Now let’s go travel! Come on and get on up! Let’s go! Love you Ma! #illalwayovemymama #shesmyfavoritegirl #armyveteran #warveteran #evangelist #prophetic #spain #creative #masterorganizer #administrator #mother #wife #sister (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnnLAb3HHnC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uamgsaesv9jd
