Read

Dhanush’s ‘Kolaveri Di’ needs no introduction. With more than a 100 million views, it has secured its place in the minds of the whole country. This post on Kafila talks discusses the phenomenon that the song is. Tell us what you think of it.

Know

Toothpaste For Dinner is the webcomic of someone who the world knows only as ‘Drew’. A new drawing is posted on the site everyday at 12:01 a.m. (EST). Recommended even by Andy Riley of the Bunny Suicides fame, this might just be your new addiction.

Go

Primarily a film fest that deals with the LGBT community in public spaces, the Q Fest is being held on the 10th and 11th of December. This year’s theme is ‘Being Seen Being Heard’ and the fest is diversifying further this year to include an evening of theatre and music at Kala Chhaya. This is definitely an event that you should not miss.

Listen

As part of their album Falling into Infinity, ‘Hollow Years’ is one of the best songs by Dream Theater.  With beautiful lyrics, it is all about finding meaning in one’s life. Do give it a patient listen.

Watch

Apart from being a good watch, this one will surely make you think. Vanshaj Kapur, a third-year student of the Symbiosis Institute of Design has made The Storyteller with more than double the effort anyone would put in a less-than-five-minute movie. Watch and tell us what you felt about it.

DIY

Ever wondered how others can seamlessly draw figures of various cartoon characters while you are stuck to stick figures? Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make your drawings more than just squiggly lines.
