Media has always played a major role in history. Former POTUS Donald Trump is a shining example of the benefits that come with widespread media coverage. News about Don Trump was known around the world. It did not matter whether you were American, or whether you were interested in politics, or whether you watched the news – as long as you were not in a coma, you knew who was Don Trump. Even people inside comas were probably aware about Don, hearing the nurses and passers-by talking about Trump. They say that “there’s no such thing as bad news coverage”, or something along those lines. That point alone could be a topic for high school debates. Nevertheless, in case of POTUS Trump we have the results. New controversies coupled with controversial news made people aware about the presence of Donald John Trump. This has played a role in him winning the presidency in 2016.  Controlling the media is not easy. If one find ways to make the media work for oneself the benefits is astounding. ...

The "Man of Steel" and "Batman vs. Superman" actor was injured while working on his Netflix series 'The Witcher - Season 2". So far, reports saying that he injured his leg have been vague - and the only detailed one is from The Sun which states that Cavill was 20 feet in the air, secured by a harness when the injury took place. These details haven't been verified. Regardless, this makes us wonder whether the Superman curse is still active. For those of you who don't know what the Superman curse is... Here's a history lesson. Everyone who acts as Superman in a film falls victim to a series of unfortunate events. For example, take George Reeves (no relation to Keanu) - he acted in 'The Adventures of Superman' from 1951 to 1958. He died of a gunshot wound at just age 45. Official sources say suicide, but the exact details are debated. His fingerprints weren't found on the Luger at the scene.  Reeve's death was a shock which caused a...

Honestly, I am not that busy but still I had to watch 2020's Hell in a Cell in two sittings. First, that Cell design looks cool up close, but looks weirder as the distance increases. SPOILERS for WWE Hell in a Cell, 2020. October 25. Disappointed: Jey Uso vs. Roman Reigns I watched this match late, having watched Sasha Banks vs. Bayley earlier. A fairly simple to understand match; no pins, no submissions, match is over when one man says "I Quit!". Roman Reigns vs. his cousin, Jey Uso was teased in the weeks leading up to HIAC. When the match really happened, it was a good match. Both Superstars used their physical prowess (and not weapons) to beat each other up. Honestly, it was a good match, stakes were high and the fight was also good. It was good - which is why I was so disappointed. Before I actually write articles down, I write them in my mind. Initially, I described the match as being "... reminiscent of Undertaker vs. Kane, 1997...". However, as the match...

SPOILERS AHEAD for the 2019 Movie “Weathering with You” (Tenki no Ko), “5 Centimetres per Second” and “Your Name”. SPOILERS for the 2015 Video Game, “Life is Strange”. Image souce: Pinterest Makoto Shinkai was telling us to be selfish. This is my conclusion from watching the movie. Being a movie about weather, it has elements of global warming and climate change being scattered all over. We should not let these effects be passed down to the future generation – having our children bear the burden is too much for us to ask. Here’s how: For those of you who watched “Garden of Words” and “5 Centimetres Per Second”, forget everything you have learned about Makoto Shinkai’s works. Those of you who haven’t watched them, what are you waiting for ? Go watch the movies and come back. I, too, am a Shinkai anime veteran, and yes, I was devastated with both of the aforementioned titles. One in particular resonates with me because it feels like my story. If one expects Shinkai characters to have a s...

 10 percent About a 1000 Bhutanese people - give or take - applied for this job opportunity. From that, 150 of us were shortlisted. From that very short list, 15 of us were luckily/qualified to get the chance to go to work. That means only 10 percent of the shortlisted candidates got selected. This is the competition in our present time. As we were preparing to board the plane at Paro Airport, I had a good look around. 11 girls and 4 boys were flying to Kuwait. I looked at my friend beside me as the white dragon of Bhutan soared into the sky. "Now, we're flying!" "Yes, we are!!!" This article is written in point of view of a Bhutanese who worked in Kuwait. Our writer was able to get an interview with him, as he had to return to Dragon Land because of the pandemic. Mirage The flight landed in India. The layover was in Delhi, and later, Dubai. When Druk Air reached us in Delhi and Dubai - I began to realise just how small our aeroplanes were. The Bhutanese plane l...

 The following is a Dzongkha translation of "Barn Burning" by Haruki Murakami. I did not write the story, it is not an original work. However, the translation was done by me. This is not the final copy, as there may be revisions and editing needed in the future. We are currently in need of a Dzongkha proofreader as well. If there are mistakes in the text please, bear with us. Your feedback and comments are valuable to us. Barn Burning originally translated from Japanese and published in 1992. གཞིས་ཁྱིམ་མེ་གཏང་ནིའི་སྐོར་ལས། ཧ་རུ་ཀི་ མུ་ར་ཀ་མི། ཨ་ནཱ་ལུ་ ལོ་གསུམ་གི་ཧེ་མ་ཨིན་ ཊོ་ཀི་ཡོ་ལུ་ ང་ མོ་དང་ཅིག་ཁར་ འཕྱད་ཅིག། དེ་ཡང་ ངའི་ཆ་རོགས་གཅིག་ཀྱི་ གཉན་སྦྱོར་ནཱ་ལུ་ འགྱོཝ་ད་ཨིན། གཉན་སྦྱོར་ནཱ་ལུ་ འཕྱད་དེ་གི་ ང་བཅས་གཉིས་གཅིག་གིས་གཅིག་ ངོ་ཤེས་ཚུགས་ཅིག། ང་བཅས་གཉིས་ཀྱིས་ བར་ན་ ལོ་བཅུ་གཉིས་དེམ་ཅིག་གིས་ ཁྱད་པར་འདུག། ང་སྐྱེས་ལོ་ སུམ་ཅུ་སོ་གསུམ་ལངམ་ད་ མོ་ཁལ་གཅིག་ལངམ་སྡོད་ཅིག། དེ་གིས་ཁྱད་པར་སྦོམ་ ག་ནི་ཡང་མ་བཟོ་ ཟེར་བཞུ་དགེ། དེ་བསྒང་ ངེའི་སེམས་ཁར་མནོ་བསམ་གཞན་ལེ་ཤ་ཅིག་ར་སྡོད་ནི་དི་ཀྱིས་ ལོ་བཟུམ་བློ...
