Voiceless Speakers
Imagine hearing your favorite author narrate a brand-new story—only to discover they never recorded a single word. In 2025, this isn’t just a technological novelty—it’s our new reality. At the prestigious Hay Festival, a lifelike audio presentation was delivered using none other than the voice of Stephen Fry. The twist? Fry himself wasn’t even there. The speech was generated using an AI voice model, cloned from his existing recordings. While Fry later acknowledged the innovation, it sparked debate about consent, authenticity, and the uncanny future of synthetic speech.

Time Vs AI
We are no longer living in an age of change—we are in a change of age. The rise of artificial intelligence has shifted the pace of life from fast to instantaneous. AI tools can now write code in seconds, detect fraud in real time, analyze vast datasets overnight, and even compose original music or poetry in a matter of seconds. The speed at which innovation is unfolding is staggering. In this hyper-accelerated reality, time isn’t just money—it’s everything. We’ve entered an age where hesitation can be costly, and speed is a competitive advantage. The question is no longer, “How much can you do?” but rather, “How fast can you adapt?” In this world, staying still is effectively moving backward.

AI and Creativity
Eli was just eleven when he found his grandmother’s old tablet buried under a stack of newspapers. The screen was scratched, the stylus half-broken, but to Eli, it felt like magic. He wasn't gifted—not in the traditional sense. His drawings were wobbly, and his clouds looked like blobs of toothpaste. Still, he felt something come alive in him each time he watched the lines form on the screen. It wasn’t about perfection; it was about possibility. And in that early experimentation, he felt the first pull of something deeper—something creative, and maybe even transformative.

When A Machine Learned To Dream
Eli was only eleven when he first discovered the old tablet tucked away in a drawer at his grandmother’s house. It was clunky and outdated, with a scratched screen and a fading stylus barely held together by tape. Most kids would’ve scoffed at it. But to Eli, it felt like magic. He wasn’t a prodigy. His stick figures leaned sideways, his suns had way too many lines, and his clouds looked like bruised cotton balls. But there was something about the way the screen responded to his smallest touch, how he could undo a mistake with just a tap. Drawing didn’t feel like school. It felt like freedom.

“The Last Message From Mom”
It’s been 312 days since I last heard her voice in person. Every evening, I pick up my phone with a strange mix of hope and dread, praying I’ll find a new message from her. Of course, I never do. There’s just the same tiny voicemail icon flashing against a black screen—my only link to the woman who raised me. When the world around me feels heavy, I press play. Her voice washes over me like warm light on a cold morning, soft and steady: “Hi sweetie, just checking in. Call me when you’re free. Love you.” Simple words, spoken with infinite care.

From Roommate To Hell
I Trusted My New Roommate — Then Lost Everything Overnight Three months ago, I moved into a cozy two-bedroom apartment on the east side of town. Rent was manageable, the location was perfect, and the place had a warm, lived-in charm. But within six weeks, that dream flipped into a nightmare. I ended up nearly homeless, blindsided by a scam I never saw coming—because it came from inside the apartment.

Political Shifts In South Asia. AI-Generated.
South Asia, a region of immense geopolitical importance, has undergone significant political transformations in the past two decades. Comprising countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, and the Maldives, the region has seen shifts in governance, foreign alliances, and internal political dynamics. Global power competition, economic development, and security challenges have all influenced these changes. Two key areas of evolving geopolitical relations are the deepening strategic ties between Pakistan, China, and Bangladesh, and the strengthening alliance between India and the United States.
