THE SUN THAT SHONE THE BRIGHTEST
As the scrawny 9-year-old told me all about how he played in the hay in his beloved village, he clutched on to my finger like he had known me forever. Brishti, his little sister, tepidly scampered closely behind us as the three of us marched on towards the hospital.

Build your own dream team
Football is arguably the biggest sport in the world. It can unite people who are on the same bandwagon with a sense of shared identity, or it can destroy friendships based on apparent club rivalry that in all honesty does not make much sense from thousands of miles away yet it certainly spices things up.

The ultimate mobile office suite
While Google have perfected a lot of things, an all-in-one office suite is certainly not on that list. Almost all Android users have gone through the ordeal of trying to use Google's office apps as their daily driver and ended up downloading Microsoft's apps instead.

Take the Plaantik
Football is the author of Cinderella stories; whether it is Iceland reaching the quarter finals in the Euros and qualifying for the World Cup or Gabriel Jesus going from painting streets only four years ago to spearheading the Brazilian national team's attack on the biggest stage, football has its own unique way of amusing people with tales of joy. We have our very own version of such a success story today, the story of “Plaantik”.

A student's guide to scripting an audiovisual
In recent years, AVs have transcended beyond just the commercial sphere. Students are more and more involved in making AVs for academic purposes.

Honest ads of fast food places
If there is one thing that we have learnt from the booming restaurant business, it is that probably there is nothing we love more than food. And in order to cater to our insatiable hunger, new food places open up every day. What if these restaurants made honest ads about themselves?

Should you really “read” audiobooks?
I am not proud of it, but like most literary critics, I had never equated audiobooks to reading an actual book. I had always been sceptic about the notion of listening to a book and rolled my eyes every time someone claimed to have “read” a book via a voice narration.

Stages of an eating challenge
The only thing we, as a nation, love more than food is, well, free food. Therefore, every new restaurant that comes along with their assortment of generic fast food decides to utilise this collective affinity towards free food to their advantage.
