One year of Little Pav: A reflection
One year ago today, this little sphere of mine, that sits quietly somewhere amid this scarily vast, yet somewhat extraordinary, space known as the World Wide Web, was born; my blog, my brand, my baby: Little Pav. And what a year it’s been; from deriving as a creative outlet on a whim one quarantine morning…

My podcast favourites: Podcasts to listen to in 2021
First thing’s first, I must admit: my favourite podcasts are the only podcasts I’ve listened to (or, at least, wanted to continue to listen to). Still, of late, I love a podcast for my commute; while I also love listening to music, I always revert to the same artists, albums and genres and, inevitably, get…

What piece of advice would I give to my younger self?
It’s funny: I’ve asked every participant of my #LittleChats series so far what piece of advice they’d give to their younger selves, but I’ve never been asked the question myself.

Here we go again: Coping with the Christmas lockdown
Here we go again. Another lockdown, another torrent of emotions. Sadness. Frustration. Anxiety. As if this year hasn’t been draining enough, the tail end of 2020 saw many of us entering a new “tier” of lockdown restrictions which – to top it all off – covers the Christmas period. While it was clear that the…

Remember to be kind this Christmas
“Are you okay?” Such a simple question. A question so engrossed in everyday conversation that it has almost become meaningless. How many times have you been asked “are you okay?” in passing – by friends, by family, by coworkers – and responded with the likes of “yeah, you?” or “fine, thanks”, when what you really…

How to: Manage deadlines
As we approach the Christmas period, it’s not uncommon for students to feel overwhelmed by the inundation of assignments; I certainly found it stressful. It’s almost the end of the semester. All your deadlines are close in proximity. Many of them determine your overall grade in their respective modules. I know, it sucks – but…
