“It begins with blood and fear. It begins with a discovery of witches” .... Just in time for Halloween I guess and this time of the year when all the witches and ghouls are out and about the sky one (subscription tv service) launched the show called A Discovery Of Witches.  If you live in UK you must have seen posters or actual adverts of it. I saw the little special and it looked good to me. I love me a good supernatural story and a good love story.  And if that above has Matthew Goode and Theresa Palmer at its head count me in. Besides I am always been a fan of supernatural series, I miss true blood dearly even if they went well a bit bananas in some seasons.  Two episodes in and I couldn’t wait to find out what will happen next will they be together will Diana’s power grow and what this Ashmole 782 all about! After researching about the author, Deborah Harkness, since there is nothing worse than badly written source material, I dived into th...

Female Dr Who

Remember when a while back internet went mad about Dr Who being a woman.  Dr is an alien for crying out loud... surly it doesn't matter!  But it is finally here.  And it is rather great as usual. However why is only when Dr became a woman we are dealing with such earthly matters like segregation a and racism (Rosa) or Indian separation and creation of Pakistan? I love how these issues are seen through the eyes of women and female experiences coz let’s be honest it hasn’t been shown like this much. Women just keeping calm and carry on... but we are raging on the inside.  I was in floods of tear on both occasions... in actual floods.

Nadiya

Do you love Great British Bake Off? Or Baking Show, I believe that is the alternative US version name for his amazing show. Well I am a sucker for any sort of amazing home crafter and makers show, like sewing bee or a pottery throw down. Yea that's a thing here in UK. I don't know how much of it is a real thing but it is super fun! So...  Nadiya was a winner of bake off last year. And she owned it!  After awesome winner speech like this she is back in BBC in a new show. To be perfectly honest I knew she was up to something since she has been on a lot of magazine covers. However it makes you wonder if press needed some awesome hijab wearing woman.... Oh nevermind all the marketing and all the representation issue aside, she is one super inspiring young lady.  Chronicles of Nadiya was right after new season of bake off last week. Clever BBC  scheduling here! And don't think it's just another cooking show. Nadiya talked about her family, Ba...
