Owliver welcomes June and the monsoon!
The week that was, and what Team Owliver has been up to!
Dear subscribers,
As we in India battle the dreaded Covid-19 in its second wave, staying home and keeping healthy (mentally, physically and emotionally!) is on our minds. Meanwhile, despite being indoors, we find it extremely important to keep those brain cells sharp and active. Our mission is to help you stay curious, engaged and, of course, entertained. Keeping this is mind, we bring to you more critical-thinking articles on a regular basis, where we share the happenings of the world with you, but also ask all the right questions! We hope you enjoy them just as much as we enjoy researching and writing them. Stay home, stay safe, and take care.
Love,
Team Owliver.
