Here’s sparing one moment of thought for the consistently overlooked working community – the teachers. COVID has slapped our priorities straight and redefined the very idea of who we call heroes in the world we live in. As to who deserves to be truly rewarded with material returns and immaterial regard has also been redefined.... Continue Reading →
Why choose spirituality?
Claims that spirituality and the process of ‘finding God’ making people’s lives better have been heard time and again, even from celebrities. It’s been true for me too; spirituality and its tributaries such as religion, God and astrology have contributed heavily to the quality of my life but sometimes I question why it works after...

American reality TV never disappoints if you’re looking for cheap thrills and with this show they’ve quite outdone themselves.

8 fairly unacceptable things about rom-coms
I understand to the last bit that rom coms are meant for entertainment only and nothing about them needs to be really practical or realistic.

Peaky Blinders and the pattern | Netflix
I just finished one season of Peaky Blinders and it is quite amazing that I’ve stopped to write about it.

Entering the academic sector is like entering a channel that has holes cut out every few inches through where unfavourable opinions and temptations flood in, having irreversibly contaminated the sector over the years. The Bollywood idea of studies and academics being the opposite of ‘life’ has imprinted itself in the minds of students and irrational... Continue Reading →
Spare a thought for the comfortably overlooked teaching community
At the onset, let’s admit that the education system of today is a student centric one and no law, no revolution can change that anymore. In multiple ways, this system has paid off and been effective but the flaws remain, which are constantly discussed by students as sources of stress or depression caused by the... Continue Reading →
