Imagine it’s just another Sunday. You have just woken up. You reach out for your phone either by habit or volition. Last night was as wild as it could ever be. The kidneys received their fair share of alcohol, and the stomach had their fair share of calories. With a pinch of guilt in the background, you now open Instagram, […]

WOMEN WEAR SHORT CLOTHES: A logical deconstruction
In this world of never-ending opinions and conceptions, some are more inciting than others. They often get assimilated and are set as another block for an ever-expanding road of the thinking process. One such instance that has colonized the minds of the people of the Orient (lately) is the appropriateness of female apparel( the rural understanding of clothes or rather […]

DHRUV RATHEE, RAMAYANA AND LOGIC: How logic is misunderstood
One fine day, I was undertaking my regular chore of grazing through social media. Owing to the tendencies of the human brain, I didn’t bother stalling for more than 3 seconds until a video popped up. It was a podcast. The questionnaire was not the taste of my attention, but the question, the answerer, and the answer indeed were. Why […]

THE WAY WE ARE UNDERSTANDING FEMINISM IS PROBLEMATIC
The way that we have understood Feminism is quite wrong. Let me explain! Contemporary Feminism has become a word that incites thoughts that may be learned( through literature and experience) or adopted( through a convention that is contextual). The way we have understood it is quite linear and parochial for the most part. It transcends the commonly understood definition […]
Music
HOW THE GEN-Z TREATS MUSIC: A curious case of ‘Madari’
So, I was at a Fest/Concert yesterday teeming with college-going chaps hosted by NSUT. The invited guests were the musician duo, Vishal and Shekhar. Everybody was reveling, mediated by their very locals. However, a few hours into the carouse, Vishal was asking the crowd which song do they want him to perform next. A paltry voice made its way to […]

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT OR SOMETHING ELSE? A review
The Indian U-19 women’s team won the T 20 world cup. The news does not definitely invoke a nonchalant attitude, given the background and backdrop of their victory. 16 girls, receding adversity to the side hurtled towards clenching onto the elusive world cup. What is it about this particular display of women empowerment that induces a certain celebratory feeling? […]
Culture and Religion
UTTARAKHAND CULTURE: A blend of two religions
The quaint, godly, and sloped lands of Uttarakhand have found a unique culture, a culture flourishing all the way from mythology to modernity. It is a unique blend of the urge to sustain and the urge to be in the vicinity of the divine that has made habitation possible here. One aspect of their lives in the mountains is their […]
Racism
DIEGO MARADONA AND THE RACISM IN ITALY: A perspective
Has the world we are living in become more humanized or has it become more politically correct? I shall leave this rather sturdy question to you, i.e, only if it actually warrants the adjective. Imagine on a proximal level being part of a city and on a distal level being part of a nation. Now, intuitively you will have the […]

WHAT IT IS TO LOVE : A phenomenology of love
Seeing the romance rife these days on social media has left me wondering if that is all there is to love. The perceived picture of holding hands, Leaning onto each others’ bosom, and all the related dispositional things. In all instances of love, I believe one thing is common: an element of care. Let’s dig into the phenomenology of love […]
Anime
ATTACK ON TITAN: A curious case of morality
The premise of Attack on Titan is salient yet, to an extent, unintelligible. The show owes its complexity to its seasonal nature; with each new season, the dimension of the storyline widens unpredictably. Effectively, new revelations are exuded about characters regarding their motives and intents. The anime has many different personality traits, and how they vary in other circumstances. Eren […]
