drawing- heaven or hell?

I had my art education competition today. I had chosen drawing, which became one of my many wrong decisions taken three years ago. I'm basically bad at drawing. If you want to praise my art, let me be frank, you'd have to become the character portrayed by prakash raj in thoza movie. Seriously, I'm that bad.

Anyway, our topic today was traditionally designed greeting card. Man, I never felt this nervous even during my annual exam. As I'm suffering from a phobia which disallows me to admire art, ( I usually suffer a lot) I was totally blanked out. I took my brush and started painting without even knowing what it was. so after half an hour it was over. I have to admit, it looked hell. I mean, the colour combination was nice but i didn't have the patience to do it neatly. I had another half an hour. so I grabbed my sketch, and started sketching something, without knowing what i was. Finally, it turned out to be a peacock surrounded with florals. I don't feel like saying it was awesome, but compared to the previous one, this thing was nice.

I didn't get the prize as usual. But the last minute change that I made was a wise one and told me that I could change anything if I wished. That whole hour made me tensed and nervous. That's qhy I came up with this title Drawing- ( are you drawing heaven or hell out of me) 👅

Dude - Review

TL;DR - A Rare mainstream surprise with its heart in the right place. To begin with, I didn't expect any movie to make it to my blog this year, especially Dude. I was skeptical even while booking the tickets, and the pessimism only grew when a couple of close friends said they didn’t like it. For context: I didn’t enjoy Love Today , and Dragon was just okay. But if skepticism can ever lead to a pleasant surprise, Dude definitely proves it. I usually look for one out of two things from a film - a compelling narrative or solid entertainment. I don’t comment much on Tamil films because Tamil cinema, at least from what I have sampled, often misses both and at its worst, treats the female lead as an interchangeable prop, contributing no real agency to the story. It has been a long while since a mainstream entertainer offered a female character with intention, dimension, and presence. Dude does, and that alone deserves acknowledgement. PR struck like a typical Gen-Z actor in his first...

My experience with Murakami - 1

Before we begin, I am in no way qualified to review this book. However, I might not be able to move on with life if I don't give this the closure it deserves. I thought my first encounter with Murakami would be through Norwegian Wood. Like everybody else. It could've been through Kafka on the shore too, I saw that book on my dad's desk for almost three months. But no. Maybe this book landed at the right time. Or there is no right time. Sometimes you find the book, and in most cases, it is the book that finds you. With the wind-up bird chronicle, it definitely has to be the second one for me.  The Wind-up bird chronicle - Haruki Murakami I love it when narratives are non-linear. Life, as I've lived it in the last 20 years, or for most of the part that I can remember has not been linear. I've seen people around me leading a linear life.  School->College->job/grad school/get married -> become an adult -> have kids -> realise at 40 you are your parent a...

Afterthoughts - YellowFace

 It took me a while to finish this book. Longer than I'd like to admit. Partly because engineering can get exhausting; sometimes all you want to do is sit still and stare into the void. And also because this book allows you to take breaks. Yellowface - by Rebecca F. Kuang Unlike many books that demand emotional stamina, this one pauses. Not every book offers to halt its flavour for your comfort. There are books that get you emotionally invested, and books that slowly get you in the zone. We've all binge-read books, if not series, simply because it lured you into an all-consuming world. Yellowface isn't a lot of things, and it certainly is not bait. It probably isn't something you would find everyone mentioning, and it doesn't leave you with characters to love. But it reminds you, in all gory detail, about the parts of you that'd have inevitably surfaced at times. Every century has had its patron cause. The 19th and early 20th centuries were about women's suf...
