For this Photo of the Week, I decided to share one of my personal favourites that I’ve taken. Last summer, when my family from New Delhi was visiting, we decided to take them on a trip to Vancouver. Since there were a bunch of us, we stayed in this really old, really cool, Victorian style…
After months and months of talks to do so, fellow editor Danielle and I finally braved (mild) embarrassment and fear of the unknown and, braced with a selfie stick and iPhone (64GB — bless up), conquered 4 street to bring you all a vlog of the cool places we saw. Despite having attended school a few blocks…
Hopefully by now you’ve all heard of Youth Week. Seriously, it’s a week of discounts, celebrations, and activities for YOUTH in CALGARY. Yep, that’s right. Those little cards we get from school with our picture that most of us loathe, a.k.a. your student ID, can essentially get you VIP access to the city. When I discovered…
What is it that lure people into coffee shops and keep them in for hours? Is it just the coffee? The people you’re with? The atmosphere? I am guilty of spending too much time and money in coffee shops, and for me, it is all of these things. Whether you are catching up with work, reading a book, or meeting…
Going out for breakfast usually means spending copious amounts of time, even hours, waiting in line at an over-populated brunch place, before waiting for what seems like an eternity for the meal to arrive. Such experiences can make going out for breakfast seem daunting, a time-consuming chore which anyone who has a remotely hectic schedule…

In case you missed it on the Herald, here’s a timelapse from EarthCam atop the National Music Centre showing how the raging waters progressed to flood the intersection of 9th Avenue and 4th Street SE. With the footage captured from June 20th to 24th, this video documented the impact the floods have had on East Village and how…
The physical impact of the flooding in Calgary remains yet to be fully seen, but the awareness for the bond we have to our city is an aspect growing more prominent day by day. Let this video be a source of hope that’s needed to carry out the recovery – All credits go to Robert…
I’m here in the middle of exam break dreaming of summer vacation so I decided to pacify myself by looking over some of the photos I took on my trip to Toronto last August. Here are some famous Toronto landmarks and some neat things that caught my eye around the city.
Last Tuesday, the Epcor Centre presented an insightful and enchanting performance called Red. I was with Youth Central, volunteering for the event and had the fortunate opportunity to watch the show live. There was an excited atmosphere and the fans were most definitely anticipating the show! I know I was! SPOILER ALERT – Stop reading…
This building fools you: A Wish‘s creativity stands out amongst the shops on 8th Street SW, however. When you walk in, the impression you get makes this place almost a bit too sparkling new for this block and the apartment building it is in. The food and drinks they offer are a mix of both Western and Asian…
In the midst of the concrete jungle downtown lies some gorgeous greenery; the Devonian Gardens. It is located in the The Core mall and is a beautiful, serene place to do some quiet work. It is a massive ‘2.5 acres and contains over 550 trees’ (Calgary Herald). As well as the trees, It also contains 2 Koi ponds (a pool for ornamental carp), a play area…
I snapped this scene last August in downtown Calgary, at one of our city’s oldest but finest parks.
The teenage years bring many new and daunting experiences; high-school, learning to drive, a job, plus tons of other responsibilities and freedoms. One freedom I find many people are nervous about is getting piercings. They talk about getting piercings for years, barely able to wait until they turn 16 and can get them. Yet, once…
This week I went shopping downtown – yes, in the freezing cold – and I found a really neat little clothing store on 17th avenue right by Bernard Callebaut called Blame Betty. The moment you walk into the store you immediately notice the unique edgy vintage-y atmosphere that you don’t find in shops the mall. There was a…
