By Hemanisha Baskaran

CHIC?? VOILA?? What do these two words have to do with a hijab? Well, in this case – plenty! In fact, “CHIC” and “VOILA” are the wrap styles under the well-known Bokitta Hijab.

Netflix: A binging addiction surrounding Intellectual Property

December 21, 2020 by KASS

By Hoh Jerick

To stream, binge and watch. These days, audiences in search of entertainment have one place in mind – Netflix. Initially an online DVD rental service provider founded in 1997, Netflix moved its major focus to providing the streaming service it is famously known for today.

November 24, 2020 by KASS

By Megha Anand

As we transition from Halloween to Christmas, road trips remain a common theme for films in both genres, particularly the former. Be it a journey to escape a zombie outbreak or a broken-down car in the middle of nowhere or running out of fuel with only one isolated gas station in the vicinity, roads seem to be a favoured setting for horror movies.
