Why I enjoy writing Ekphrastic Poetry
When I started writing poetry as a child, I used it as a medium to express my feelings. The themes I wrote about were just as limited as the exposure I had to the world. I kept a diary for such poems, and I still return to those pages realising the naivety and innocence of my perspective. I drew inspiration from pop songs and poetry that was part of my school curriculum for vocabulary or phrases that are repeated in my early drafts. One thing was for sure, I enjoyed writing and nothing could stop me from pursuing to hone the craft.

The Importance of Spelling for Children in The Digital World
Literacy is one of the two important pillars of education in the National Curriculum in the UK. It plays a significant role in the learning and development of children in their formative years. Reading, writing, spelling, grammar and punctuation are the core areas of assessment for English in the current education system. It is generally accepted that reading and writing are essential skills to possess – parents worry over their child’s ability to use these skills. However, I often encountered questions on the importance of assessing a child’s spelling skills, after all, we live in a digital age where everything is typed and autocorrection is an easy feature one can use.

Free Books Online
Every year I start a reading challenge and this year, I am progressing rather quickly, thanks to the Quarantine life! I think it's not just the fact that I've got loads of time in my hand, but also some amazing online resources that have helped me catch up with my goal. So, I thought of sharing a list of websites and applications that might encourage you to get into reading too (or listening to books, if that sounds more interesting to you).

Love your local libraryTop Story - February 2020
I recently came across a Guardian article which said that Britain has closed almost 800 libraries in a decade and I was gutted. When I was growing up, I somehow found myself recognising that knowledge is sacred (to me). I crave to learn, to improve and become aware about my surroundings.

To What Extent Are Journalists and Journalistic Practice Important in the Fiction of Ernest Hemingway?
Ernest Hemingway is perhaps one of the most famous American writers of his time. Before becoming a writer, however, Hemingway was a journalist and a war correspondent (Meyers 1982:1). This essay will focus on the extent to which journalists and journalistic practice are important in Hemingway’s fictional work The Sun Also Rises (1926).

Alone in Berlin: A Culture Shock
I came across Alone in Berlin by Hans Fallada through my University reading list. It is a fictional novel that is inspired by true events. It has very often been compared to non-fiction books due to its closeness to the reality of Germany during Hitler’s regime. As it is inspired by real life events, the case itself seems to have been re-written based on the articles Fallada found in the newspaper at the time.

'The Princess Saves Herself in This One' by Amanda LovelaceTop Story - October 2019
I am usually attracted to the cover, the synopsis, or even the author's name, when I choose a book to read. Then there are other times, when I choose a book by reading the first three sentences on the first page. However, Amanda Lovelace's poetry collection's title was the one that did it this time. the princess saves herself in this one.

Writing Villains
A hero in the story can only be glorified if he battles a convincing and strong villain. Villains usually are the archetype of fiction that embody the fear, evils, loss, anger and darkness of the society. Another sinister feature of the villain is that he carries a kind of mysterious aura around him. Two very common sentiments towards these characters are fear and hate, which could well be transferred from the fictional world into the mind of the reader outside in the real world.
