Fondest memory of my childhood have been eating the most scrumptious, soft, buttery cakes from Kayani bakery and eating them till my mother snatched the box.

My Macroeconomics textbook, this past Sunday, had the privilege to go on a ride. The plan was to crash a book cafe and study endlessly as I gulped coffee after coffee (such plans, much wow). After a lot of reckoning, I zeroed in on the May Day Cafe because the Internet told me it was worth my time and...

Recognition with characters is often an intangible asset for any film in any industry. This is perhaps why there is an odd charm to coming-of-age films, even the not-so-good ones.
