Charming Classic - “Heat”
“Society invites the crime and criminals accept the invitation.” - Vikrant Parsai Michael Mann's Heat exists in the memory as a remarkable heist film, a standout cops n' robbers thriller, which influenced several quality, crime-pictures following on from it. Matthew Vaughn, Ben Affleck and Christopher Nolan, directors of Layer Cake, The Town and The Dark Knight respectively, admit to their films having been inspired by Heat in varying ways. It can be argued that at the time, it redefined the action-thriller genre. It revised an almost decade-long formula of somewhat gimmicky, machismo fuelled, 80's action cinema, by delivering high octane spectacle, that relied upon sheer authenticity.

A History of Revolution in Whispers of the Fire
A young girl by the name of Elara came across a worn leather-bound journal hidden beneath layers of dust and cobwebs in the quiet library of the old city of Lyon. It didn't have a title; all that was on the cover was a phoenix rising. When she opened it, the pages began to whisper stories and the scent of aged parchment filled the air. memories of the world's most powerful revolutions, not just any stories. The first whisper came from France, 1789. The journal described a world in which peasants starved outside of palace gates while kings lived in golden halls. A man named Jacques stood in the crowd at the storming of the Bastille, his hands trembling as he clutched a torch. A loaf of bread had cost the life of his brother. Jacques contributed to the demolition of not only the prison walls but also the appearance of royal divinity that night. The people rose, chanting “Liberté, égalité, fraternité!” as the monarchy crumbled and the seeds of democracy were sown in blood.

What AI Can’t Learn from Data: African Ethics in a Digital Age
I didn’t grow up thinking about artificial intelligence. I grew up thinking about fairness. In classrooms, courts, street corners, and songs — fairness wasn’t just an abstract idea. It was personal.

Why Women Understand Fight Club but Men Don’t Understand Little Women
I suppose the idea that women can understand men’s issues or ideologies has always existed. Women have been the more nurturing, caring gender, the ones who have gone through their own moments of identity crisis and, therefore, can easily understand others when they eventually go through the same phases. However, as a writer and an avid reader, I’ve come to notice that men, in general, seem to lack this depth of empathy when it comes to understanding women’s perspectives through literature.

Beauty and Brains: A Rare Ideal or a Misunderstood Reality?
This ideal, as elusive as a four-leaf clover, has fascinated and divided society for decades. It is often said you’ve “won the genetic lottery” if you have both, a concept rooted in a casual remark that society seems to have embraced: conventionally beautiful people are presumed less intelligent, while those with high IQs are not typically deemed attractive. For those who embody both traits, this stereotype can feel deeply offensive. Imagine being told, “You’re so beautiful — I didn’t expect you to be intelligent.” A backhanded compliment, if ever there was one.

The Heart of Palestine: A Story of Pain, Strength, and Endless Hope More Than a Conflict—It’s About Ordinary People When people hear the word Palestine, many think only of war or politics. However, the complete story is not depicted in those headlines.
