India has been stealing the headlines in the last month. The success of Chandrayaan-3 in showing the world how to colonize the moon has shown the country in a light the world many have suspected, but never seen before. The fact that China’s Xi Jinping wouldn’t meet with Narendas Modi at the recent BRICS summit […]
NASA telescopes’ imagery released this last week is visually stunning, technologically mind-blowing and spiritually, well, how can it not evoke questions of a religious, philosophical or scientific manner. The images are beautiful and reveal a universe which far exceeds the human eye’s capacity to see it. From our new vantage point, the majesty and scale […]
We’ve now been treated to the same scene fifteen times. The interminable queue outside New York’s Apple store every time there’s an iPhone launch. It’s such a powerful component of Apple’s brand identity that competitor Samsung even launched an attack on it when advertising their own Galaxy model.

Recently, he was captured on film during a UK parliamentary debate, with data that confirmed that the India economy is like an express train. Here’s a recount of that data: […]
Right now, Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) is considering a Chinese bid to build a nuclear power plant in the Kingdom. He’s deadly serious about this, as are the Chinese. But according to the Wall Street Journal, he is sending a clear signal to Washington that unless they drop their non-proliferation stance, he will […]
Maybe the Alliance will Actually Achieve Something Now If I walk out into my garden and look towards the north west, I can just see in the distance the location of the BRICS conference, where Saudi Arabia has been invited to join BRICS. It sits smack bang in the middle of the richest square kilometre […]
