Fallin’ For a Season That Barely Exists

With November starting, a slight glimpse of hope follows in the form of fall. Ah, fall is truly the most unrepresented season in our country, mostly due to it not existing, but despite that, it’s like the best thing ever. Now imagine it’s summer… Ew, and doing any basic task requires enough effort that even A-level physics starts seeming easier; at that point, you simply … Continue reading Fallin’ For a Season That Barely Exists

Verses and Vendettas: Kendrick vs. Drake

Kendrick and Drake. Two names which have completely taken control over the music scene with their intense, borderline petty, rivalry. Now I’m sure you’re wondering where this beef spawned from. Two months ago, there was barely any mention of grievances between the two and all of a sudden, they’re throwing egregious accusations at each other? Well, this rap battle has been brewing behind the scenes … Continue reading Verses and Vendettas: Kendrick vs. Drake

Moral Superiority 101

Historically, an overwhelming number of individuals have argued in black and white–the dilemma of the two bipolar ends never ceases. Is Imran Khan a horrible person or the messiah of Pakistan? Pick one side and stick to it till your last breath. Exploration for people who think the same, results in conformity and echo chambers. Shove your agenda, your sentiments, and your righteousness, in other … Continue reading Moral Superiority 101

Elections and Outlaws: The Scandalous Mise-en-scèneof Pakistan’s Politics

As the unfettered reign of the caretaker government comes to an end (much to the dismay of the power-deprived individuals who make up the dynamics of Pakistan’s political backdrop), there are quite a few things that I — as an inevitable observer and a frustrated nationalist — have to say. Before we leave our houses on the morning of February 8, 2024, we must remember … Continue reading Elections and Outlaws: The Scandalous Mise-en-scèneof Pakistan’s Politics

Sinking Delusions: An Overseas Ship to Prevent us from Drowning?

The 18th of June, 2023: it was a perfectly ordinary summer day until it wasn’t; the media and news outlets all round the country were blaring the same headline. More than three hundred individuals and families lost their loved ones in a tragic incident— a boat, boarded to maximum capacity with migrants, drowned near the Greek coastguard. What’s worse is knowing that these migrants were … Continue reading Sinking Delusions: An Overseas Ship to Prevent us from Drowning?

The Good, the Bad and the Horrible (Live-Action Anime Edition)

Live-Action anime. A phrase that I’m sure causes any animanga enthusiast to cringe (I sure do). When anime started taking the world by storm, studios wanted to quickly capitalize on that success, resulting in the monstrosity nobody asked for. Bluntly speaking, anime usually never works in a live action format: the horrible character wigs, over-the-top dialogue, and revolting CGI is something straight from a nightmare! … Continue reading The Good, the Bad and the Horrible (Live-Action Anime Edition)

Just for The Aesthetic: The Superficial Face of BookTok

Ever scrolled endlessly through Instagram or TikTok and kept seeing those same five books a million times? If you mistakenly picked one up in the last few years and decided to immerse yourself in a new world, you probably found yourself cursing at the writer for their lack of creativity, or, even at capitalism for publishing it in the first place. BookTok might as well … Continue reading Just for The Aesthetic: The Superficial Face of BookTok

Barbie: the Woman, the Myth, the Legend

This review of Barbie comes fashionably late because I live in Lahore. As we all know, the Punjab Film Censor Board took it upon themselves to save Pakistani society from the clutches of Western propaganda by banning Barbie. Their excuse was “objectionable”, and “LGBTQ+” content. Having watched both Oppenheimer and Barbie, it’s safe to say that from an NSFW point of view, Oppenheimer far outranked … Continue reading Barbie: the Woman, the Myth, the Legend
