Letter to 2020
Dear 2020, You started out as promising You started out terribly but I had hope. (The Australian wildfires seem so long ago now). You betrayed me 2020. Everyone looked forward to your arrival with a whole host of memes dedicated solely to your name but alas! You decided to stab us in the back while we were out celebrating you. January was the only normal month that we had. While I was preparing…

House of Earth and Blood: Not SJM's best work
House of Earth and Blood: Not SJM’s best work
“That’s the point of it, Bryce. Of life. To live, to love, knowing that it might all vanish tomorrow. It makes everything that much more precious.”
Sarah J Maas, House of Earth and Blood
I have to admit, when I first heard about the plot of the book, I was kind of done with the whole girl meets brooding boy, enemies to lovers trope that the entire world seems to adore for some reason. (I know I…

The Tribal Communities of India
The Tribal Communities of India
An image that is conjured up in our minds when we think of Adivasis is probably of primitive and barbaric people wearing elaborate costumes. This is one of the many stereotypes present in society concerning Adivasis. The word ‘Adivasi’ originated from Sanskrit with ‘Adi’ meaning earliest and ‘Vasi’ meaning inhabitants. The Adivasis residing in central India can trace their genealogy back to the…

The Unseen Watcher
The cries
O the cries of men
Gunshots firing
Clouds of dust and despair filling up the sky
Yet I watch, ever silent, ever seeing
I gaze at a lost one
His eyes, cinders remain of a once bright flame
Yet he is finally free
Free from the pain of life, of war
His breath, a farewell
His arm is limp, spidery veins weave their webs
He smiles at me as I lead him…

The inherent misogyny in 'Death Note'
The inherent misogyny in ‘Death Note’
“This world is rotten, and those who are making it rot deserve to die. Someone has to do it, so why not me?”
Light Yagami
Death Note is by far my favourite anime. The basic plot of the series is that Shinigami or death gods use their death notes to kill humans and take up their life spans so that they can be immortal. There is not much happening in the world of the Shinigamis and they tend to…

A Court of Mist and Fury: A true masterpiece
A Court of Mist and Fury: A true masterpiece
“To the people who look up at the stars and wish.” “To the stars who listen – and the dreams that are answered.”
Sarah J Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury
Painted in shades of the classic myth, Hades and Persephone, A Court of Mist and Fury shines high above its predecessor, A Court of Thorns and Roses. This is an incredibly unique fantasy book. I think I liked the second book more for the love and…

Crown of Feathers: A fiery read
First of all, I would like to say that the cover is exceptionally beautiful and I’m guilty of being drawn in by that sole reason. I know that we are supposed to judge substance over appearance but everyone is guilty of succumbing to it at times. Now let’s get into the plot of the book.
When I first heard about it, I was mildly intrigued at the concept of phoenix riders. There have been…

The dawn of sweet beginnings
I’ll keep this short. I have been thinking about starting a new series. It’s called Epiphanies and will probably be updated once a week depending on my schedule. It features stories about literally anything. Whatever captures my imagination. It could be long or short depending on time constraints and inspiration.
I wanted to branch out a bit and while I’ll continue to write articles, I want…

The Big Book Box review
The Big Book Box review
This is an honest review about The Big Book Box book subscription service. For the people who don’t know what a book subscription service is well, it sends its subscribers a monthly box filled with newly released books along with a ton of bookish themed goodies. I know, it sounds too good to be true and maybe when you see the prices it probably is.
I ordered the Cafe Mocha June box on 6th May…

Aurora Rising: A force to be reckoned with
Aurora Rising: A force to be reckoned with
“Do moons choose the planets they orbit? Do planets choose their stars? Who am I to deny gravity, Aurora? When you shine brighter than an constellation in the sky?”
At first glance Aurora Rising seems nothing special just another run-of-the-mill Sci-fi with a bland and simple plot, moronic cardboard characters and the word ‘Quantum’ thrown in whenever something doesn’t make sense(I’m 100% NOT…

Indigenous communities of the Caribbean and the Americas
Indigenous communities of the Caribbean and the Americas
For thousands of years, various communities have lived and flourished in North and South America and in the nearby islands. In this article, I attempt to bring your attention to some of the more wider as well as lesser known communities. Some communities like the Arawaks were small subsistence economies and some like the Aztecs were powerful monarchical systems with stratified society.
