TV

🎥 Love Rewritten: Netflix's “Nobody Wants This” showed us a grounded take on romance. Forget fairy tales, say hello to realistic love! Skip the clichés with Bridgerton’s third season or the spellbinding emotional journey in K-dramas’ latest heart-tugger, "Queen of Tears."

💬 Talk of the Town: “The Menendez Brothers” and "Barzakh" sparked internet debate and dialogue on justice and fantasy – not quite your usual chatter over chai.

Food
