TV Show: GLOW on Netflix IMDb Rating: 8.1 Rotten Tomatoes: 95% In an attempt to fill the Game of Thrones-shaped hole in our lives, S and I were looking for something that would keep us sufficiently distracted and entertained between episodes. “I don’t even like wrestling” was my first reaction when I saw that S…
If you’re like any partially sane human ever, you’re probably psyched about the long weekend. I say “partially sane” ’cause like, being just plain sane is so last century. And so is talking like this. But that’s beside the point. Let’s not lose focus of the important topic we’re here to talk about – the…
Confession: I’m not a big fan of online shopping in Pakistan. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m not all like “death to e-commerce” or anything super dramatic like that. I’m just extra careful about what I order and where I order it from (might have something to do with my attachment to my hard-earned money lol).…

A couple of weeks ago, in the spirit of spontaneity, my sis-in-law and I got a one-way ride to Seaview (cause getting a one-way ticket to Peru was too expensive, JK). As a Karachiite who lives so close to the sea, the frequency of my visits to the beach (or lack thereof) is just plain…
A noob’s trip to the grocery store aka Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Warning: This post has generously indulged in the use of hyperbole for dramatic effect. Read at your own risk. And pliss don’t take too seriously. Let me just start by saying that I know next to nothing about Call of Duty. Except…
Let me just start this by saying that the Moto Z has an unfair edge over other smartphones in the market. And no, it’s not because when we hear ‘Moto’ we’re transported back in time to the iconic Moto Razr which could make any flip phone fan swoon (who didn’t want one?!). It’s because the Moto…
I’m not the only one who gets excited by the mainstream, commercial fare Hollywood churns out every year, right? Phew. Just checking. I mean, I’ve seen my fair share of films for intellectual stimulation. But sometimes, you just need pure entertainment. Mindless action. Explosions. Beasts with feelings. Batman. Y’know. The usual.
