I usually don't do this. But, Alex Vause's pair of glasses deserves a post of its own. My earlier review of the series can be found here . An Ode  to the best freaking pair  of glasses and what it represents 

On Thursday, with all my irritation and darkness, I surfed through Netflix to sight Orange is the New Black (OITNB) at my topmost feed. So, I thought to myself. Why not give it a try? If the first episode is bad, you get out. I haven't watched Hemlock Grove and gave up on Arrested Development after a couple episodes. As I clicked on it, I hoped it was like House of Cards . It was and much better. First twenty seconds, the series punches you in the gut. You can either leave at this point or journey further. If you decide to proceed, you have to drop all preconceived notions. Boys and girls around the globe probably pulled up a bit more. In my case, I raised my right eyebrow in interest.  The moment hits me. While others see a steamy shower, I see a stance, a promise, the first line of the book. The director, writer, producer and actors promise me no bullshit story.

         After nine years of staying clear of Grey's Anatomy, because I didn't get the bed hopping part, still don't and because the show has a low range of emotional depth, I watched my first voluntary episode three weeks ago. I had heard somewhere on the grapevine that Peyton from One Three Hill showed her face on GA and was hitting hard on Arizona. Dr. Peyton One Three Hill hitting on Arizona or any other person, I had to see that. So, I watched Readiness is All. Hawtness shall not be overemphasized. Now, even though I actively never had watched an episode of GA, I knew all about it. Knew that Calzona -- Callie and Arizona -- is the sexiest lesbian couple on TV.     I watched the on-call room escapade and the uproar that followed. Even worse, had to stand through Callie's emotional face when she sees Arizona's engagement ring pinned on Dr. Peyton OTH's scrubs and decipher how it got there, to Arizona screaming "you weren't...

Last month, my brother, Atilola Olubela, underwent his first excursion to Apollo, Makoko, Lagos and has this to share: March 3, 2013 was a remarkable day that called for deeper reflection, I had no wedding and event to cover and decided to be a part of "The Silent Majority Project" exhibition by one of Nigeria's finest documentary photographer, Mr Adolphus Opara, organised by Goethe-Institut Lagos. This became my first visit to the acclaimed and highly Makoko, sort by both local and international artists. I have always seen Makoko in paintings, photographs and the regular panoramic view from the third-main land bridge, I had always wondered what world would be out there. The closest experience I ever had to this visit was the BBC documentary "Welcome To Lagos", which was a heart-wrenching one ... hmmm! The Ojota episode was also touching. Seriously, my heart has always skipped since this experience. Makoko, a world contrast of Venice, a crude cosmopolitan and ...

     Holden Caulfield, the 17-year-old protagonist of J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, is anti-education. He has been expelled from different schools. He is seen to have no drive and no goal to pursue; just a wanderer trying to find himself. He does not make any effort to pass his courses. In Pencey Prep, he had carried over five subjects which of course, he fails except English in which he passes because he “ didn’t have to do any work in English at all hardly, except write compositions once in a while ” and it is pretty obvious that it takes him little effort and time to write as seen in Stradlater’s composition episode (10).
