So this is a follow up to the Anakin Skywalker - What If I posted a while back. It's based in the same universe and operating under the same galaxy changing event.
Obi-Wan Kenobi - With the public execution of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine at the hands of the CIS commander General Grievous, the Jedi council made it their highest priority to capture the villainous commander and bring to justice before the Senate. To accomplish this, they assigned the Open Circle Armada commanded by Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to lead the spearhead into the heartland of Separatist space with one objective. Capture Grievous.
Having faced the droid general on multiple occasions and failing to best him in combat, Obi-Wan would often feel guilt for Palpatine's death, believing that had he not failed in the past the Clone War would have come to an end long ago. But with the help of his former apprentice, Obi-Wan was able to look beyond his past failures to the future. Both he and Anakin would bring Grievous to justice in the name of the former chancellor.
The spearhead campaign would take both Jedi to the edges of the Outer-Rim, culminating in a skirmish on the sinkhole world of Utapau where Grievous would gravely wound Obi-Wan by stabbing the blade of a lightsaber through his stomach. As his former apprentice fought the droid general one on one, Obi-Wan was able to use the force to briefly numb his pain.
As he delved deep into the force to grant him the power he needs for one last strike, Obi-Wan heard a familiar voice calling to him.
"I am proud of you, Obi-Wan."
At first Obi-Wan was taken aback. Hearing the voice of his deceased master distracted him for a moment, but calling on the force allowed him to lunge forward with his lightsaber. Before Grievous could react, Obi-Wan decapitated the Separatist commander. Neutralising the threat.
Collapsing from blood loss, the Jedi master was rushed to the nearest medical bay onboard a Republic cruiser. Despite a near brush with death, Obi-Wan survived and told Anakin about how he'd heard the voice of Qui-Gon Jinn speak to him. It was at that point that Anakin confessed something he'd hidden from his master since the beginning of the Clone War. Following the first battle of Geonosis, he had married Senator Padme Amidala of Naboo.
Whilst he was taken aback by this revelation, deep down Obi-Wan had always suspected that his feelings for Senator Amidala were more than he cared to admit. Though hesitant, Obi-Wan voiced his support for his former padawan, and promised to keep his secret. In a jokey remark, Obi-Wan then asked if Anakin knew who the father of Padme's future child would be, much to the Jedi Knight's horror.
With the elimination of General Grievous, it was believed the Clone Wars would come to an end with the capture of Count Dooku, the recently ascended Sith Lord. Though keen to finally bring peace to the galaxy, Obi-Wan and Anakin were ordered back to Coruscant for a much needed reprieve from the conflict. As they left Utapau, Grievous' final trap would reveal itself. Every sinkhole on the surface of Utapau had been layered with explosives designed to detonate two days after activation. The explosions would destroy every city on Utapau and destroy a sizeable portion of the occupying force.
The devastation would leave the surface of Utapau inhospitable. Realising the horrors that the Separatists were capable of, the Republic vowed never to end the war until their enemy was wiped from existence.
As both Anakin and Obi-Wan returned to Coruscant, Padme went into labour resulting in an unexpected surprise.
Anakin became the father of twins.
As his closest friend, the young Jedi asked Obi-Wan to be godfather to his children. Obi-Wan graciously accepted.
Though he was happy for his former padawan having the family he'd always wanted, deep down Obi-Wan felt more isolated than ever. Having lost the love of his life the Duchess Satine of Mandalore to the hands of Darth Maul, just under a year ago he couldn't help but feel heartbroken every time he saw Anakin's new family.
To distract himself, Obi-Wan would take on a new apprentice by the name of Jaylam Duos. Despite his reluctance in the past to take on a new apprentice, having wanted to not teach a pupil during a time of war, Obi-Wan decided that his declining physical condition meant it was unlikely he'd make past the war thus his choice to take on his new apprentice now.
As both master and apprentice began to move into the unknown regions of space, they'd encounter Count Dooku's newest agents. Sith acolytes, all vying for the position as Dooku's apprentice. Though Kenobi and Duos were able to defend themselves against the acolytes, the Jedi Master lost the closest friend he had during the Clone War. Clone Commander Cody was killed saving Duos' life from one of Dooku's acolytes.
In a moment of rage, Obi-Wan was able to disarm all four of Dooku's acolytes by severing their hands, only to allow them to leave. A perplexed Duos would be met by one of the first lessons Kenobi was taught by his own master.
'Revenge is not the Jedi way.'
In honour of their fallen comrade, Duos would take the former clone commander's blaster pistol and continue to use it in conjuncture with his lightsaber much to Kenobi's dismay. He considered blasters to be a crude and inelegant weapon compared to a lightsaber.
As time would progress and the recently deceased Commander Cody was replaced by Clone Captain Sendro, Kenobi's former apprentice would achieve the rank of Master before being named Grand Master of the Jedi Order as Master Yoda passed the reigns to young Skywalker. Though the transfer of power was questioned by some council members, Kenobi would openly endorse his former Padawan, claiming there was no-one more suited for the role than the Chosen One himself.
Under Skywalker's leadership, the Jedi would undertake an intensive search throughout the galaxy to locate the final piece of the puzzle needed to end the Clone War. Reigning Sith Lord, Count Dooku known by this point as the nefarious Darth Tyranus. After two weeks scouring the galaxy, Kenobi and Duos would come face to face with the Sith Lord.
The duel between the three of them would culminate in the Sith Lord besting Kenobi in lightsaber combat, but not before the Jedi Master could sever one of Dooku's hands. Even in his weakened state, the old man was able to easily best Duos in lightsaber combat and would use his blade to decapitate the young boy. Distraught, Obi-Wan declared how horrifically Dooku disgraced Qui-Gon Jinn's legacy.
In a moment of what appeared to be regret, the Sith Lord chose to leave the duel without taking Kenobi's life. This would prove to be the Count's undoing, as Kenobi was able to place a tracker on the Sith Lord's cape allowing Republic intelligence to track the Count back to his last refuge.
A moon sized battle station known as the 'Death Star'. Reunited with Skywalker, both Master and former apprentice would lead the Republic fleet into battle against the Separatists one last time, with the fate of the galaxy in their hands....

Despite the rustic nature of the Ewok village on Endor the standard of medical care is surprisingly high.

Antonio Canova's statue Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss, first commissioned in 1787, exemplifies the Neoclassical devotion to love and emotion. It represents the god Cupid in the height of love and tenderness, immediately after awakening the lifeless Psyche with a kiss.
Once upon a time there was a king with three daughters. They were all beautiful, but the most beautiful was the youngest, Psyche. So beautiful, in fact, that people began to worship her instead of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. This made Venus very jealous, so she asked her son, Cupid, to make Psyche fall in love with a horrible monster. However, when Cupid saw how beautiful she was, he dropped the arrow meant for Psyche and pricked himself with it, falling in love with her.
Despite Psyche's beauty, her parents feared no one wanted to marry her. They were told by an oracle that she was destined to marry a monster, and they were to take her to the top of a mountain and leave her there. Instead, the wind kicked up and swept her away to a magnificent palace where she was taken care of by invisible servants. Every night, a visitor (her new husband) came to her. He told her he would only visit her at night and she must never try to see him.
While her invisible husband was very good to her and the invisible servants saw to her every desire, Psyche was homesick. She gained permission from her new husband to allow her sisters to visit. When they did, they became very jealous of her lavish lifestyle. The sisters coaxed Psyche into peeking at her husband by saying he was a monster who was fattening her up to be eaten and that she must kill him if she wanted to survive.
That night, armed with a lamp and a knife, Psyche visited her husband while he slept. She was so surprised to learn that he was Cupid that she dripped hot wax from the lamp onto his shoulder, waking him. When Cupid made sense of the situation, he immediately left Psyche, hurt by her quickness to think so badly of him.
Still angry, Venus set about in getting revenge by forcing Psyche to complete some extremely difficult tasks. Cupid, now recovered from his physical and emotional wounds, began to miss his beloved Psyche. He soon learned of his mother's shenanigans and convinced Jupiter to order Venus to stop her persecution of Psyche. That day, Psyche was delivered to Jupiter where he gave her a cup of ambrosia to drink, making her immortal. He then ordered the nuptials between the two lovers to be perpetual.

Took the shot in 2015's Holi festival at Shakharibazar,old dhaka. They live in shakharibazar . In time of holi the boy insisted to play Holi what was happening in front of the house they live. Mother was tensed about heavy load of people there. So, she was standing behind their building's gate and monitoring his son's movement . She gave his son strict order to remain close to the gate.
Relationship of a mother and a son is the most innocent relation in the universe.And struggle of a mother is lifetime

It was requested, so .....below in the comments is a 'behind the scenes' photo that my dad happened to take. (keep scrolling, there are some comments before it)
Below is just some thoughts I had from looking at this photo.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think a lot about how I'm going to make my next picture.
When it's finally taken and it exists outside my mind,
I don't usually think much more about it. I just upload it to flickr
and hope people comment on it.
One day I wanted to make a picture with a puddle. I could see it in my mind.
After it was taken, the more I looked at it, the more it made me think.
It's taken me a little deeper than I expected.
I remember the photo shoot being pretty tricky.
I had to lay flat on my stomach and almost kiss the water so my reflection
would show for the camera. Looking down, I couldn't see my reflection, all I saw was the dirty water;
but someone else could have seen it, had they been standing by the puddle.
Sometimes we look at ourselves and really negative thoughts come to mind;
'I'm ugly'....'My life is going nowhere'.....'I'm lost'..... 'no one cares'....
Like looking at the puddle, we see nothing but the muck in the water.
But then someone else comes, or has been there all along,
and they see everything we can't. They see our potential,
our beauty, our character...our pain. They see us so clearly.
Sometimes I wish I could see me, instead of all the dirt.
I wish we could all see clearly.
Some of the health care workers that treated me at the MGH. Gave me the best care and comfort. Kudos to them all.
I got daily room service while staying in bed for a week. He was so caring and brought all the little things from his brother's kitchen and his little grocery shop. He even provided my beloved toast.
