This isn’t a description of the many troubles we had with 101, from the classes to vision 2020 (how did that pan out?) or the roaring leopard that left us with numb thumbs and result anxiety. Rather, this is more of a day to day experience filled with PDA’s, and the occasional trek to female halls all for love. Ah! Love, one day I’d love to pluck a rose from a garden, not like the Love garden in UI with…

I’m sure we’ve all lost a friend we thought we were close to; I know I have. We’ve had people we thought would be in our lives forever and they drifted away, sometimes slowly, other times suddenly and most times with no warning.

April 24, 2021

I chose to study Medicine last minute, and just before starting, I wanted to know how it would feel to be a doctor. I had a couple of friends who were medical students already and I still had the contacts of some of the doctors on my multiple trips to the hospital. So, I did the most logical thing I could think of; I watched dozens of episodes of different medical series. And to those who said I wasted my…

Your Dream in a Box

April 24, 2021

What is your dream? Or more importantly, what was your dream?. That dream that you told adults excitedly as a child but got ashamed to say as you become older. The raw dream that brightened up your childhood and made living every day interesting. Did it change? Why? Did you or others think it was unrealistic or impractical? Did you start and fail?

THE KITE RUNNERAfter reading Khaled Hosseini’s Kite runner, the phrase “beautifully heartwrenching” comes to mind. This essence skyrockets this book to a classic. That phrase is as paradoxical as they come but that’s how the story makes you feel.
