Irony man...

The world is advancing at light speed and is constantly growing by leaps and bounds. So are our beloved streaming services. From a bygone era wherein grainy loops,  VHS and floppies dominated the Internet sector, there has been a paradigm shift in what the viewer demands, as per growing fads and convenience. A mind numbing amount of movies and shows are available to us, all at reasonable prices. There is something so liberating and therapeutic about using movie services and whatnot at just the click of a button. Granted, they are replacing theaters and multinational conglomerates but that's just the way of the World right now. I  feel like we are in a cultural tempest of sorts and are struggling to catch up. The age of Hulu, Amazon Prime, Netflix has only made it more awe- inspiring and sublime when you get to witness Superman soar through Metropolis or be it binge watching your favorite anime or TV show, these services have been entering the mainstream at a very capped off...

The stairs creaked as I could distinctly hear my Mother's  voice from across the room as she comes to gingerly wake me up from my slumber. Chores, is what I have to undertake. Her voice grows hoarser and more gentile as I remove the covers and amble towards the washroom to finish off my ablutions, perhaps as a way to kill time from the chores that I plan to shirk the day ahead. The quarantine has mentally and physically impacted people in more ways that you can imagine. if you could hazard a guess, then people are now indulging in stuff they wouldn't be doing normally. This is perhaps the trance of boredom and once it seeps in, it is hard to get rid of. I then start having starry fantasies of how I could make these days more meaningful, barring the odd zoom online classes and whatnot. Aspects of these days are made to bring out another side of you, hitherto unexplored. But much to my dismay, Here I was, cutting vegetables and laying drywall or doing the dishes, that sorta s...

Their tiny innocent paws clenched against my hands, Their furry coat brushed against my skin, Their soulful eyes seem to gaze deeply into mine, And that was when I realized that my affinity for pets was something that couldn't be contained. I remember times when I was young and grappled with naivete that every unplanned encounter that I had with dogs were well documented by me in the form of pictures. Call it stalking or a creepy obsession, dogs seem to enliven that deep-seated part of you that you never knew existed. Why is it that mankind seems to be just transfixed at the mere sight of a dog. In part due to the wonderful culture that it is associated with. Doesn't the thought of going home to your dog after a hard and long day's work just envelop you with joy. Studies have also pointed out that owning a dog or any pet for that matter lowers risks and bouts of depression, escalates your endorphins and increases longevity. Dogs are a bundle of joy to be around and...

India, a land of customs and traditions has borrowed quite a lot from the Colonial system of imparting education. It did, in all honesty teach us values of grave importance, made us civilized and rational, made us keep an open mind and brandished a medal of honor, despite the capricious rule of the Firangis. And after 73 years of a rite of passage that was brought along due to the Partition/Independence, our education system to put it bluntly has gone to the dogs. Back in the days of the tumbleweeds and the dinosaurs, the means of disseminating any piece of information was through pigeon carriers, messengers and word of mouth. Even in the Medieval era, this was the case but the  Indian system of handling it had a certain specificity to it and thus the Gurukula system was born. The Gurukula system posits that you learn subjects that you would normally learn inside four stuffy walls of a classroom, but the only difference is you do it out in the open. What better way to acquire kn...

Lemme get something straight folks, a Disney or a Pixar movie marathon was never my cup of tea, until I accidentally stumbled upon this movie and drank it in. And boy, did it changed my perspective forever! There are many facets that go into movie making and nailing all those recipes for success is really hard to replicate on screen, but this Pixar movie really checked all the boxes. Be it humor, drama, adventure etc, the pieces of the cake was for every film goer out there to savor and enjoy. Not to mention, its rave reviews did pique my interest and decided to give it a go. A rare gem as far as animated flicks go, the story line is very personified and quirky. It deals with a rat(imbued with human emotions) who discovers his passion to cook good food and is thrown to the streets of France while attempting to raid an old lady's house with his family of rats. All the good natured fun and banter alike, the family discover unity in the end of the movie when they find Remy the ...

The mud caked roads are laden with footprints, all belonging to people making their journey back home. This affliction of Covid19 has created a void so big that the commemorative May 1st really doesn't bring much else, apart from widespread sorrow. The economic ramifications wherein stagnant jobs and unemployment on the rise is really just a bad brush with what the reality is. Why is Labor's day celebrated, you ask? Well,  the general tradition goes that it is that special day which unites forces who either belong to menial labor union trade labor and basically workers who work round the clock and their achievements are given due credit. Labour's Day has become a significant and historic pivot for world peace and normalcy. But nature decided to play spoilsport and extended its wrath onto Good ol' Earth, thus leading to an alarming and skyrocketing rate of unemployment in key sectors of the economy. The agriculture sector which is primary to our nation as we deriv...

A startup, in the most general parlance implies an idea that has grown to become a multi-million dollar industry. Let us take for instance The Silicon Valley, which is nothing but a group of geniuses spearheading or leading a bunch of companies that they co-founded or founded and that global hub attracts all sorts of FDI(Foreign Direct Investment) and thus impacts how we perceive globalization on a whole. Global conglomerates like Amazon,  Google, Microsoft and Apple to name a few have gone on to rule the market space for the next millennial, due to its vast growth rate, employability factors that are only accentuated by the field of computers(sorry, if you wanna work in Amazon or any multinational you solely require a computer science degree,  simple as that). There have also been many factors that seem to go against Amazon's tenets and they are: 1) There have been many warehouse allegations and infringements of stocks shared within the Amazon board members in Septembe...
