The night calls out with blaring horns, Trucks and buses and uncompromising scorns,

My mother tells me a story of the year I was born (some time before the turn of the millennia), and apparently, winter that year was insane.

The real entertainment is in the details, in the ball by ball action.

As a weekly publication, we always have opinions about the dates on which our magazine comes out. This week’s SHOUT gives us the opportunity to celebrate with our readers the end of 2020, a year that is unique in so many ways. I consider this to be a privilege.

If you are a person who loves building things and is interested in channelling their creativity through the games they play, Cities: Skylines is the best thing you could ever ask for.

“Hey, Azmin. Nice magazine you got there!”

This week’s cover story on SHOUT is one of our many articles discussing the state of education in this country, something we deeply care about as a youth publication.
