AFG vs WI, Between Overs and Silence
The first ball hadn’t been bowled yet, and already my chest felt tight. AFG vs WI flickered on the screen, bright jerseys against a washed-out sky. The stadium buzzed softly, like it didn’t want to scare away whatever fragile promise hovered above the pitch. I leaned forward without realizing it. I always do when something still matters.

Broken Penguin
Introduction Penguins are often seen as happy, playful birds living together in cold places. But not all penguins live an easy life. Some are injured, lost, or separated from their families. These are often called broken penguins—not because they are weak, but because they are hurt by nature, climate change, or human actions. Their stories teach us about survival, pain, and hope.

Ancient Rocks Reveal Niobium Origins
On January 23, 2026, researchers from Curtin University announced a remarkable geological discovery hidden deep beneath central Australia. Rare rocks, formed more than 800 million years ago, have revealed the origin story of one of the world’s most promising niobium deposits. This critical metal, now essential for high-strength steel, electric vehicles, wind turbines, and advanced energy systems, owes its presence near Earth’s surface to powerful tectonic events that reshaped the planet during the breakup of an ancient supercontinent.

Guests on the Shore
Seagulls and I have never really managed to coexist peacefully. For reasons I still can’t explain, they seem to find me irresistible, as if I’m quietly broadcasting some secret gull-summoning signal. I’ve had a couple of memorable encounters with them over the years, the kind that make you glance up at the sky a little more cautiously afterward. And no, it’s not because I provoke them. I don’t chase them, shoo them away, or steal their fries. I hold no grudges against seagulls whatsoever.
