Hyper Knife Kdrama Review: Why Park Eun-bin's Dark Medical Thriller Is a Must-Watch
So, guys, I have finally finished watching the Hyper Knife Kdrama, which was running on JioHotstar, and I must admit that no matter what role you give Park Eun-bin, she always shines. If you remember, she entertained us with her brilliant performance in Extraordinary Attorney Woo. And trust me you will enjoy watching his psycho in this Kdrama.

Snow White 2025: Balancing Woke Themes with Classic Storytelling – A Review
The 2025 version of Snow White, to be fair, Disney's live-action remake of its first animated picture, has received mixed reviews from the audience. The remake tried its best to be accepted as a feminist film and one that promotes woman empowerment while balancing the old and the new. I watched the film with a grain of salt and kept my logical mind aside—at least, I tried to! However, I could only fathom the discourse of its nurture to a certain extent. In this review, I go deeper into the intricacies of empowerment, fantasy and the performances the film encompasses.

Fast and Dirty Editing - Pre-Prepared, Pre-Packaged Pleasure
So I thought as a last entry for the Self-Editing Epiphany Challenge, I'd partake in what I am calling "Fast and Dirty Editing". What do I mean by "Fast and Dirty Editing"? Well, rather than drill down into the dos and don'ts of writing poetry, or worry about the format (aside from any formatting rules that need to be applied) I am going to take an existing piece I wrote for the Tautogram challenge, but published it too late to be accpeted for the challenge, from a couple of years ago. I am then going to decimate it, without labouring over it too much, and go through the changes as I make them in this critique.

Navigating Creative Risks: A Journey Through Literary Experimentation
In the quietude of a moonlit night, she wandered through the labyrinthine streets, her heart echoing the rhythm of unspoken words. The city, a breathing entity, whispered secrets in languages long forgotten. Shadows danced around her, casting elongated figures that seemed to beckon her forward, deeper into the unknown. She felt a strange comfort in this dance, as if the shadows were old friends, guiding her through the maze of her own thoughts.

Self-Editing Epiphany: A Creative Odyssey
Writing is a tightrope stretched over a chasm of doubt—every word a step, every edit a glance backward to see if you’ve fallen. It’s a solitary act of courage, where the writer spills their soul onto the page, then turns a ruthless eye on the mess they’ve made.

What goes through the mind of an empty envelope?
Humans! Aah, the notorious ones gospelled with the prowess of pouring their hearts onto the folds of power, of unleashing the confinement of unsaid pain through the enigmatic flair of woven syllables through the crevices of their glistening minds.

Why My First Drafts Look Like a Crime Scene (And Why Yours Should Too)
Do You Have the Guts to Butcher Your Own Work? Have you ever written something so imperfect that you wanted to set it on fire? Good. That means you’re on the right track. Writing isn’t about getting it right the first time—it’s about being brave enough to get it wrong, then ruthless enough to fix it. The true magic happens in self-editing, where creativity and cold-blooded analysis collide. But how do you edit without suffocating your originality?

Are Ukrainians prepared for concessions and a ceasefire? What the polls say is as follows:
The idea of a negotiated end to the three-year war has been put on the agenda and in the hands of Russian President Vladimir Putin thanks to an agreement between the United States and Ukraine on a ceasefire proposal. However, the parties' positions are pretty clear even before Moscow responds.
