International students have made a lot of efforts to reach Canada to study in their schools, especially in this pandemic. This article is for international students who will be travelling soon, and it’s for students who had to go through a lot and spend a lot of money to fly to Canada. Like every other […]

The Suicide Squad (2021) 3.5/4 My favourite kinds of movies are ones that take risks. Take a movie like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, for instance. It took a lot of guts, both figuratively and literally, to make a movie that showed someone getting their heart ripped out from their body in that […]

It was a sweaty summer afternoon and I had just gotten off work for the day. Sighing in heat-fuelled exhaustion, I got in the car and turned on my summer Spotify playlist. I always listen to music in the car, and, naturally, this playlist had lots of classic summer hits. I was halfway home when […]

I am writing this in a hotel in Doha. I have tested negative for COVID and there are six more days left in my quarantine. I’ve finally gotten comfortable with the idea of travelling via a third country and quarantining. I’m trying to make the most of my unpredictable and unplanned hotel vacation in Qatar. […]

This is a look back to help us understand that feminism is a constant fight for the future of others. It’s the belief in a human mind that is not limited to its surroundings. We need to look back at the simplest things, of what is so normal to us today. In fact, though, brave […]

It’s been months since Canada implemented a ban on direct flights from India. This measure was taken by the Canadian government to insure the safety of its citizens from the recent COVID-19 mutations, especially the Delta and Delta-plus variant that have been detected in India. The second wave of COVID in India was deadly, but […]

Black Widow (2021) 2.5/4 Recently, and rightfully, there’s been more female-driven superhero films, such as the last two DC Wonder Woman films, DC’s female team-up Birds of Prey, and Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel. What made these films stand out are their strong messages about the importance of female empowerment, and the power of the female […]

Equality is discussed heavily when talking about feminism, and that makes sense—being a feminist is about striving for fairness between all genders and sexual orientations. But I feel like that equality itself is never truly elaborated on. What does equality look like in the real world? Is it even something we should be striving for? […]

COVID has affected everyone around the world. I want to talk about how it affected an international student studying remotely in India, which was the worst-hit country by COVID in the past few months. It was not easy at all. Of course it was difficult not just for me but for all the citizens of […]
