Lady, Just Get Back in Your Car
I read this joke a couple of days ago on the internet. A man is driving his five-year-old to a friend's house. Suddenly, another car speeds in front and cuts them off. They almost have an accident. "Douchebag!" the father yells. A moment later, he realises the indiscretion, pulls over, and turns to face his son. "Your father just said a bad word," he says. "I was angry at that driver, but that was no excuse for what I said. It was wrong. But just because I said it, it doesn’t make it right, and I don’t ever want to hear you saying it. Is that clear?" His son looks at him and says, "Too late, Douchebag."

Rereading Review: "Against Nature" by J.K Huysmans
It's been about a decade or so since I read Against Nature by JK Huysmans and so, I wanted to dive in once again. Unfortunately, my copy with some brutish annotations in which I exclaim my dislike for the main character resembling a young Morrissey in his attitudes has since been lost to time and so, I had to buy another copy. Emile Zola would probably sum up the book in the best way as it was, in fact, a charged novel against the naturalist movement - hence the title Against Nature. But then again, it is packed full of emotions that are generally against the nature of human feeling - they are against the progressive and free-willed, against the whimsical, against the want for redemption and joy. The main character's journey to discovering this is a pained one yes, one that usually drops him into the central problem of melancholic thinking and perhaps reminds us that we don't want to shovel this novel into our mouths all in one go. It is one of those books that can really weigh one's mind down.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Background and Context: If you know me then you will probably know that I think 'Frankenstein' is one of the greatest novels ever written. I would say that since I was in my teens, this has been a really been a novel that has been close to my heart. Chapter 11 is probably the most special of these in which the Creature is discovering night and fire etc. It is simply one of the best pieces of literature ever written. I've read and taught it several times for over a decade. It gets better every single time.

Why more women are choosing relaxed, flowy outfits such as the Farshi Salwar
Women’s festive fashion has always been rich in colour, tradition, and detail. But in recent years, something subtle yet noticeable has changed. More women are openly choosing outfits that feel soft on the skin, breathable throughout long celebrations, and easy to move in. Beauty still matters—but comfort has become just as important, if not more. And at the center of this shift, the farshi salwar has quietly reappeared, finding new relevance among modern wearers who want elegance without restriction.
