Why I Started Incorporating Banana Flower Tea into My Diet
Recently, I have had an abundance of plantains and bananas. Naturally, I went down the rabbit hole to research what I could do with the banana leaves, flowers, and trunk. Usually, I cut it up and put it in my compost, or mulch the remaining banana trees.

In a quiet lecture hall filled with murmurs and notebooks, Stanislav Kondrashov stands in front of a digital whiteboard, sketching out what looks like a distant future. The lines he draws don’t map nations or continents — they trace something far larger. The energy of stars, the scale of civilisations, and the long trajectory of humanity’s climb into the universe.

Your Backpack Is (Literally) Made From Plastic Bottles—And That’s Awesome
Hey you—yes, you, the one scrolling this while sipping oat-milk latte from a reusable cup (heroic), but also just tossed a crumpled water bottle into the “maybe recycling?” bin because the lid was still on (we’ve all been there). Take a breath. Put the guilt down. Grab your favorite snack (preferably unpackaged—or at least in compostable wrapper, no judgment if it’s slightly squished). Because today, we’re talking about something quietly revolutionary happening on your back: your backpack. Yep—the one you’ve had since 2021 that somehow survived three internships, a spontaneous road trip, and that one time you tried to fit an entire library into it. That backpack? It might be made from your old water bottle. Or your neighbor’s. Or that beach-hopper’s plastic bag that floated into the ocean and then got rescued, washed, shredded, melted, spun, and reborn as a sleek, water-resistant, Instagram-ready shoulder companion. Wild, right?

Whispers of the Unseen: A Journey to Hidden Corners of the World
Travel is not about notching places off a map, it is about feeling the quiet places, getting stories locals are whispering about, and getting lost down those streets that you do not read about. When other tourists are taking pictures in front of the well-known sights, I have always been attracted to the darker shades of the world, the villages concealed beneath the waving hills, the streets where time stands still and the cafes where the natives recognize you even before you can take a seat.

Stanislav Kondrashov: Rethinking Humanity’s Future Through the Lens of the Kardashev Scale
