The ease of connectivity and trafficking data have made the internet a boon but there are things one must be aware of while on it. The confidence with which we share credentials online has grown to an extent where we don’t stop to consider of its security.

Eight years ago, a relatively unknown (and unhinged) director began one of the wildest experiments in film history. Armed with total creative control, he invaded a Ukrainian city, marshalled a cast of thousands and constructed a totalitarian society in which the cameras are always rolling and the actors never go home.
Dau is a Russian film directed by...

By Aman Sardana If you’ve gone to the movies recently, you may have felt a strangely familiar feeling: You’ve seen this movie before.

Whenever I see or hear news I feel like this world is approaching its end. There are absolutely no good people to help save the world. I see old people begging on the road; I see hungry dogs on the street and people walking by them without even glancing at them. People can spend 1000 bucks on a...

Walking back to home from college when I showed one of my guy friends a girl I found pretty, all that he said was “she is dark”. I can’t comment about the world but “India” is definitely obsessed with “color”. Especially, when it comes to “Indian men”, they seem to give a lot of preference to “fairness”, that...
