Water, water everywhere : Day 1
I’m writing a travel diary. Join me to my trip to Kerala 🙂 It was 23 August 2017. At 5 AM my family and I boarded the aircraft. My head kept turning to the window seat occupied by my sister. I had wanted that seat, but according to the boarding pass, it had been allotted…

Rape myths and other issues: A Broadchurch review
I am a sci-fi girl. I love my Doctor Who, Westworld, Stranger Things, and a whole bunch of Marvel and other sci-fi movies. Not that I delve too deep into the ‘nerdiness’ of things though because I have no idea what really happens in the comic books. I am just guilty of enjoying the overly…

The real cause of PCOS
Recently, a friend on Facebook shared this picture, and well, you be the judge of this ridiculousness: Obviously, I was outraged, and looked it up just to be sure it wasn’t “fake news”, because you know, FAKE NEWS. Here’s a link. But let me not change focus. Ms. Deshpande’s statements are bogus in every way and…

Sherlock finale: episode review and highlights
*SPOILER ALERTS BELOW* “You see but you do not observe. The distinction is clear.” ~ Sherlock Holmes in A Scandal in Bohemia, p.3. Every Sherlock Holmes fan – of both the books and/or the TV series Sherlock has repeated this line to seem smart and intelligent in a sexy kind of way, even though he or…

Before you wear the red dress
A few months ago, I wrote a polemic for a university course. Today I want to publish it on my blog because I think a lot more Muslim women need to know about this. It is rather long—but worth a read. The Islamic Nikahnama (pre-nuptial agreement) safeguards a lot of your rights as women –…

Bring yourself back online
Do you question your reality? Humans-from the greatest philosophers to the craziest conspiracy theorists-have always questioned and delved deep into the ‘why’ of human existence. Why indeed. This one-word question is so powerful it caused the birth of religions and several spiritual and philosophical traditions. Some have asked if we really are human beings or…

Comma versus Comma
I tend to not write about controversial topics, but in spirit of the U.S presidential election 2016, I will also pretend to be an expert (of English grammar instead). The Oxford comma, also known as the serial comma (and lesser known as the Harvard comma) is perhaps one of the most contentious issues plaguing English…

The television is not dead
For all the tech-savvies out there, the television is irrelevant. And by television I mean the actual box attached to a satellite dish through a a set-top box and what not. From their daily dose of entertainment and news, to their daily social interactions, everything is on their smartphones — and that makes our favourite idiot…

Stuck in Limbo
The Internet is flooded with memes making fun of paranoid 20-something year olds, the seemingly adult humans who, in actuality, are pretty much unaware of adulthood. If there’s anything the Internet got right, it is those listicles that people can ‘relate’ to, especially if you belong to the category that subscribes to Buzzfeed News. Not…

Of Demogorgons and the Upside-down
Okay. Let me get this straight out of the way. I did not grow up in the ’80s. There is a long list of horror movies from that era that I have always wanted to watch – mostly because I wanted to seem relevant to my older peers. Somehow I always failed to be so.…
