Around fifteen universities now offer courses for free online through a medium called Coursera. No, no, it’s legit – you can take Stanford, Michigan, Princeton, UPenn, Hopkins and many more university classes for free! It was while browsing the Duke University website that I learnt about this program because Duke participates in it as well. …
Music is a wonderful thing! And by that I mean it is a thing of wonder… When no words could express an emotion Chopin’s nocturne captures it effortlessly.

In general, they chose challenging topics and made a thorough analysis of problem areas, often finding cogent …
On the 18th of April, 1980, Zimbabwe, my home country, declared independence from Britain. It took years of fighting in a war called the Chimurenga, and a measure of external support to achieve the goal. One of my uncles who left home to join the struggle never returned. Every day, for years, my mother’s family …
Your homework’s done – you have a clear sense of your budget and how far it can stretch; you’ve weighed your needs against your desires to find their critical balance where they meet your financial ability; you’ve read all the car-purchasing and negotiation tips; and kept an eye on the market for a gauge of …
Isabel Briggs Myers didn’t have to tell me that I’m moved by my feelings. In fact, it’s probably one of my greatest challenges as a Christian – to act on faith inspite of feeling.
