The first Q&A did not receive [...]

Amazingly enough as long as I was working on my BA project I was actually fixating on the project rather than on some random actor I like, but now that I’m having a bit of a break from the project and I’m supposed to be studying for exams (Artificial Intelligence is the one I’m pretending [...]

Apparently, Shahrukh Khan was detained for 2h at Newark airport yesterday. He was only released after the Indian embassy interfered. The [...]
