Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow-- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand-- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep--while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?

- Edgar Allan Poe

Let’s Talk About Cricket

Cricket has been a prevalent sport in the subcontinent for a long time. It is something that the locals relate with to a great extent. Be it bowling, or batting, or fielding for a match. Interestingly, Cricket was introduced in this region from the British when they acted as colonizers. The locals picked up the sport and adopted it as if it were their own sport, thereby developing a strong conviction to it. Experts agree that youngsters living in the Weald, a region of thick forests and clear

What are Sports to Society?

We all know what sports are by definition. We have all heard of different games like cricket, basketball, football, hockey, and many more. Other people enjoy watching different sports and some people can be enthusiastic enough to never miss a game. Regardless of what sport you choose or what level of enthusiasm you show towards the game, it can be agreed that sports hold a specific meaning to society. The definition of a sport goes far beyond knowing the rules of the game. There is a greater con

Military Culture

You might have heard that different cultures exist across different ethnicities, but if you have seen some of the most classical military-based movies like “A few good men”, or otherwise have an interest in military life, then you will know that there is a completely different culture in the Military and although civilians might not be able to understand that culture, it is well practiced in the military.

In recent years, the popular silhouettes in fashion trends are shifting. While we saw skinny jeans that clung to the legs and skin-tight tank tops in previous years, people are moving towards more unconventional clothing. Individuals are experimenting with shapes by no longer attempting to stick by the traditional well-loved hourglass shape on women and inverted triangle shape on men. Recent silhouettes feature loose clothing that seem to prioritize comfort over stylistic advantage and generally seem quite leisurely.

Within this style, wide leg jeans are featured repeatedly because of the comfort they offer by only fitting closely to the body near the waist and then falling to the ground. They can come both in the form of straight fit pants that can be left intentionally long to provide a slightly ruffled effect below the knees, or flared pants that dramatically grow in width as they continue downwards. These are usually paired with oversized t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies, that similarly require the observer to resort to guessing as to what lies underneath. Similar to the pants, the garment worn on the torso only clings to the body near the shoulder, and then hangs off the body, creating a cohesive theme overall.

However, fashion trends always have exceptions to their larger tendencies. While loose clothing reigns supreme in most places, many influencers are experimenting with using the occasional piece of tight clothing to avoid the possibility of creating identical looks. So the usual baggy pants would be paired with a corset that points downwards in a sharp V-shape. Accessories are also utilized to create texture to the outfit, with chains hanging from jeans pockets and the occasional belt cinching in the waist of a loose garment. The more people explore with this silhouette, the more they learn to individualize the outfits that were inspired by the wider fashion trends.
