Today, I saw a nurse praying, and it made me pause. Someone whose life revolves around science and saving lives — praying to something beyond logic — felt like a contradiction, yet it resonated with me. Maybe that’s because I’ve carried the tension between science, fate, and faith for years...

Disclaimer: I’ve written this article voluntarily — at no point was I coerced by Duo. I’ve tried to learn French twice before. I gave up due to a short attention span and dull courses. Why French, you ask? There’s something irresistibly chic about French music and fashion. So is the vision of...
