Are you as confused as me?
Everyone who knows me knows that I am a big fan of the HBO show Game of Thrones. I thought George R.R. Martin was a genius, and I thought the team that brought us the show was simply brilliant. I refer to that show very often as I got to know all of the main characters very well glued to each episode and rewatching it on DVD multiple times.

Alternate Universes
The alternate universes used by both Marvel and DC can get quite confusing. Each one serves a different purpose and some are only used once. So how does one keep track of all of them and how do you know if the comic book you want to read is from the main continuity or not? Well we are going to talk about all of that as we explain each of the alternate universes that exist in both Marvel and DC, 1 by 1. Now let’s start with why alternate universes exist; for the most part an alternate universe is created so that a writer can explore a storyline that doesn’t connect to the main universe. Whether that means that a character is doing something uncharacteristic or they want to put them in a completely different setting. How do the writers keep track? Well the honest answer is that they don't, which, for the most part, means that you don’t have to either. But we will also talk about how to tell if something is in a different continuity.

Marvel/DC Crossovers
We are talking about Marvel and DC crossovers again and this time we have 1 really fun and interactive crossover and one not so great crossover. As a fun reminder that not every comic book storyline is a winner.

Unraveling the Notions of Love and Capitalism through The Maxton Hall Series
We all love the romantic trope of enemies to lovers that serves a slow burn, leaving us gasping for air amidst the sizzling chemistry of the main characters, diving us deep into the escapism of their romance. Adolescent angst and feelings take centre stage in this show, which is perfect if you enjoy typical high school teen dramas. Your heartstrings will be pulled by the series' poignant depiction of love. The series is unique because of its sharp lines, which strike a deep chord with us. Amazon Prime’s most recent release Maxton Hall embodies the romantic dramatism of the pro-capitalist enemies of lovers James and Ruby, giving us a breathtaking onscreen presence yet the predictability of the plot and the fine crevices of incompleteness in the evolution of the subplots hampers it from being a massive feature of swoonworhty foes to romantic partners. Let's dive deeper into the nuances of the series

Let's dive deeper into the nuances of the plot.

Innovative Approaches: Applying Ancient Indian Wisdom to Contemporary Management
Ethos is derived from the Greek language originally meaning “accustomed place” or a character that one shows while in the face of challenges. Ethos can be described as the characters, disposition, and values of a particular individual or community that drive their actions and fuel them to make the right decisions at the right time. Ethos is not peculiar to a particular style of dressing or following a religion. It is deeply rooted in a person’s psyche that empowers and motivates him to build the foundations of what he stands by in his existence. The collective spirit of a community that builds unity in them and roots into their consciousness as a guiding force is the literal meaning of the term ethos.
