“For neither good nor evil can last forever; and so, it follows that as evil has lasted a long time, good must now be close at hand.”
One fine day, Alonso Quixano, a hidalgo from La Mancha, picks up the armor, renames himself Don Quixote and sets to right the wrongs and defend the helpless. Obsessed with chivalric romances, he decides the only way to make things better is to become a knight-errant himself, Don Quixote is a complex and contradictory character; he is idealistic, brave, and always willing to fight for what he believes in.
However, he is also delusional and often misinterprets the world around him. On this eventful journey he is accompanied by his squire Sancho Panza, who is a more practical man.
They navigate a world where the line between illusion and reality blurs. While they chase their dreams and idealistic visions, they are soon faced with grave consequences in trying to build the perfect world.
Don Quixote through his adventures in the rich landscape of medieval Spain, raises pertinent questions about what it means to be a citizen, and reminds us of the power in the common man’s will and determination.

Southeast Asia was created by geopolitics, and it might die with it.
An era of great power rivalry made the rise of Southeast Asia possible. It stimulated common purpose and unity among nations and led to the creation and consolidation of ASEAN.
The question now is, will the return of geopolitics have a similar impact? This is no means assured. In fact, the opposite could happen. The new geopolitics is, after all, quite different from the old.
Developments affecting Southeast Asia’s reputation and appeal might destroy ‘Southeast Asia’ not just as a distinct idea, but also as pawns in the hands of great powers.
The fate of the region looks increasingly uncertain; the question arises: has Southeast Asia passed its
‘use by date’?

“We know little of the things for which we pray…”
Set in medieval England, a group of pilgrims from different walks of life embark on a journey to the sacred shrine of Thomas Becket in Canterbury, Cathedral. While on their voyage, they agree to tell stories in the hope to pass time; each vying to outdo the others with their tales of love, morality, humor and tragedy.
One of the characters is the Knight, a chivalrous and honorable man who is also a bit naive. Another is the Wife of Bath, a strong- willed woman who has been married five times. And then there is the Pardoner, a corrupt church official who sells indulgences to people who want to avoid going to hell.
All the stories reflect how complex is the human thought process, their dreams and fears. The idea of the pilgrimage is a metaphor for life’s journey reflecting the wisdoms for a happy life.
