WEATHERING WITH YOU - Nikita For those who loved the anime movie Your Name, they will definitely fall for Weathering with you. Makoto Shinkai delivers another masterpiece with a simple teenage love story interlaced with fantasy. It’s a love story ofa high-school runaway, Hadako, who heads to Tokyo to start over and an orphan, Hina who is doing anything she can to support herself and her brother so as to not get thrown into the system and get separated.

In the vast expanse of sky filled with angry clouds thundering, there’s a patch of clear sky, the sun beaming full of hope.

It all started on a Tuesday evening when around six of us settled down on the steps outside the multipurpose auditorium to talk about the last book that each of us had read. One thing led to another and soon we had a list of good-reads from various different genres. When we talk about our favorite things, we ma...

Being a nocturnal creature, it had always been a big struggle for me to get up early and reach class on time. On top of it, on Fridays we are scheduled to perform physical chemistry laboratory activities, where we are supposed to fall in at 10 in the morning, handled by one of the most sincere faculties in the department who is high on punctuality. So, Fridays I have no other choice than to skip breakfast. As usual, I managed to get into a group of most intellectual fellow beings of the class, expecting that it would alleviate the workload on my head, while we perform experiments. Today, we were asked to perform conductometric titration to determine............................... Wait! This would have been the lines in my diary if things happened as planned few months back. But alas! Everyone who is reading this at the m...
