Typewriter #Review: A Daunting Show that Fails to Haunt the Audience!
Netflix is known to offer an embarrassment of riches to its audience. What’s more interesting is the fact that even Indian Web Series have become a part of this platform.

When A Teacher’s (Short) Note In A Child’s Diary Made A Big Difference
Having a note written to the parents in the school diary is the ultimate horror for every school student but what if these are used to write little notes of appreciation? We don’t know how long our words stay in someone’s mind and heart. They might stay there long after we have forgotten them. Being in the teaching profession gives me enough opportunity to speak every day. What I utter is a mixed bag because I face so many situations at school. Sometimes words are backed by anger, sometimes frustration and sometimes care. It is our responsibility to stand like a beacon and guide the students in the right direction.…

Nevertheless, being an ardent follower of cricket, as I watched you play, I knew for sure that you will remain a part of my cricket love for a long time. But this world cup, when people from all around the world started pouring their unwanted suggestions on…

5 Reasons to Start Watching Game of Thrones Right Away (No Spoilers)
Disclaimer: Game of Thrones is a series with a lot of scenes of violence, gore, nudity, etc. Therefore it is suitable for people who are above 18. But Game Of Thrones is not just about that, its characters and storyline are complicated that you need to have a certain level of maturity to understand it. It was 2015 when I first heard the pandemonium about Game of Thrones. Believing in the whimsical idea that ignorance is bliss, I did not heed the advice of my friends nor my husband. I avoided the conversations that started with- Did you see the latest episode of GOT. Societal pressure started building up and still…

Why is ‘Us’ one of the most gripping psychological thrillers after ‘Get Out’?
Warning: Spoilers Ahead! The African-American storytelling has found a stronger pitch after Jordan Peele’s Get Out.

The subtle reference made in the movie is enough for the viewers to realize the purpose of the art. The movie explores one of the less explored settings of horror genre-a carnival. Young Adelaide (Madison Curry) wanders off towards the isolated house of mirrors, aptly titled as ‘Finding Yourself’, and…
