  • The New AI: Artificial Intellectualism.

    In a world increasingly defined by visibility, authenticity and performance are becoming harder to tell apart. Behaviors once rooted in personal preference now seem shaped by how well they can be presented—and rewarded—online. We don’t just do things anymore. We broadcast them. Much of modern life feels like it’s lived on a public stage. Social

  • Dear Women, Why are you so against each other?

    Picture this: you walk into a room full of women. Before you’ve even said a word, you notice the glances—one scanning your outfit, another silently sizing up your confidence, and someone else whispering to the woman next to her. Suddenly, you feel like you’re under a microscope, not celebrated but scrutinized. Have you ever been

  • Lessons from a Missed Step.

    Today, I found myself on stage, performing in front of my entire society. It wasn’t planned. In fact, it was a decision I made only a night before—and finalized just 30 minutes before the event. I chose to give a solo Kathak performance. Crazy, right? Especially since I haven’t danced in years, let alone in

  • Who Saves the Truth When Superman Can’t?

    A few days ago, I sat down to watch Superman. Now, you’d expect me to be raving about the action sequences, the visual effects, or the Lois-Clark romance. But here’s the funny thing—what really blew me away wasn’t the superpowers or the world-building. It was the incorporation of journalism. Yes, journalism. The movie didn’t just show

  • The Gen Z-Millennial discourse: Why the shade, Millennial friends?

    I have been meaning to talk about something that’s been brewing online (and offline) for a while now: the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) rivalry between Millennials and Gen Z. You’ve seen the memes, the think pieces, the TikToks. But the real question is, why do Millennials often act like they’re the “superior generation”? Now, this

  • There’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately—something that quietly nags at me whenever I scroll through Bookstagram, walk into a bookstore, or overhear a conversation about “must-read” books. Why do we, as Indian readers, get so much more excited about Western authors than our own? Don’t get me wrong—I adore reading global literature.

  • When I first read Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games, I had never really imagined that dystopian cautionary tale would slowly translate into a mirror to the modern world. The story is set in the fictional city of Panem, a wealthy Capitol that thrives while the outlying districts—numbered to 12—suffer, forced into subjugation and spectacle for

  • A few days ago, I finally watched Barbie. Yes, I know—“Wait, you’re just now watching it?” Believe me, it wasn’t for lack of interest. When the trailers first dropped and the internet collectively lost its mind, I was right there, fully hyped. The aesthetics, the cast, the concept—it felt fresh and fun and actually meaningful.

  • Shakespearean Heroines: More Than Just Sidekicks.

    When we think of classic literature, William Shakespeare often comes to mind as the quintessential playwright. His works are renowned for their grand tragedies and memorable comedies. However, what truly sets Shakespeare apart is his remarkable portrayal of female characters. These women are not mere supporting roles; they are multifaceted, complex, and ahead of their
