The times that we live in are ironic. While we look at relationships through a kaleidoscope of practicality, every single one of us is looking for that eternal bliss called ‘love’. While some find it tugged in the arms of their loved ones, I’ve always found it in about something that is more than 100 […]

Riverdale Vs Archies comics
Spoiler Alert I think it’s time we address the elephant in the television that is Riverdale. Just about every kid who has lived between the 40’s and now has, at some point or the other, read an Archie comic.

Book Boyfriends and how they lead to unattainable standards
To all the fan-girls out there who are in constant state of agony from the unobtainable hunky dreamboats in literature, I feel your pain all too well.

Harry Potter and the very misguided spin-off
If you are at all like me, you probably spent the better part of your childhood reading/ watching/ obsessing over the Harry Potter series. It isn’t even a franchise anymore. It has become a phenomenon really, defining and shaping an entire generation, and reinventing the fantasy genre. Harry Potter and the (excuse the colloquial term) […]
