It's that time of year again! The season of giving is here, and we at Kahani Digital Marketing couldn't be more excited to bring you our annual holiday gift guide.

Growing up, it was cemented in my brain to stay away from boys…at all costs. In fourth grade I had my first crush on a football player from my hometown, and I had no idea how to act. I would profusely sweat in his presence, he couldn’t pronounce my last name, a match made in heaven.

As I have grown older, and moved away from home, I have found comfort in organizations that connect me to different parts of my identity. I can’t count on my fingers how many South Asian, Asian-American, or Women-led Instagram accounts I follow. While we enjoy a streamline of their graphics, I can’t help but ask how long these “diversity incubators” have been around. What tangible steps do they take to help the communities?

Halloween's coming soon!

We live in an era where information is so easily accessible. If we want to learn how to do something, all we have to do is search up how to do it. What does this mean for the way we value art in modern society? Could the ease of access be contributing to viewing art increasingly as a commodity?

This long weekend, The New York Film Festival wrapped its 62nd season after a two-week stretch of screenings and guest speakers. Films and filmmakers traveled from all over, but not without trials and tribulations to do so.

As a first generation South Asian immigrant, it wasn’t uncommon for us to hear our parents frequently discuss finances. Whether it was with friends, family, or directed directly at the television news, it was a common topic in Indian households across the board.

We tend to view mental health as an internal issue - feeling our feelings, learning to regulate, to communicate and ask for help. These are all improvements we can make from the inside out, but, what more can we be doing as a society to help facilitate better mental health?

It has been the year of the women, specifically female musicians who have gone from a sudden rise to breaking records.

Elementals deserves so much more recognition that what is given. It is a beautiful film with an amazing concept and one of the most grounded depictions of a first generation immigrant family in a children's animated film. It is such a shame that such a large amount of people ignore children's media - they're really missing out.

Why do memes go viral and what are the implications of memes being linked to a virus? Why should we care about internet culture and slang?

A repeated formula that is recognisable and often used to make us laugh. But they are actually far more serious than that.
