Srinagar: Capital of Conflict in Kashmir
Since the end of British rule in India in 1947, a territorial dispute between Pakistan and India has left the Kashmir Valley in continuous conflict.

Cooking For One: All the Blame but All the Leftovers
As Harry Nilsson famously sang, “One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do.” One has to wonder if Mr. Nilsson was lamenting his lonesome nights in his kitchen, cooking just for himself.
As many university students know, cooking in itself can be difficult, but cooking for one can sometimes be a whole different ball game. However, it can also be extremely fun and rewarding. One of my favourite ways to spend time is alone in my kitchen with my music and my cast-iron pan. No, it’s not weird. It’s actually fun.
Undefeated Redmen Lacrosse Team Pound Toronto
