What 2017 brought out of me

I've been thinking of writing this post for the past few days. The 2018 is moving very fast. When I close my eyes, it feels like it was only yesterday when I was with my friends at the new year party. As I didn't keep track of preplanned posts, this post has come late. Any way, I hope it's nice.

2017 has not been an excellent year for me. I did learn quite a few lessons that year. It didn't fetch me a huge amount of prizes like 2016, but it has given me a whole bag of experiences. It gave me an idea of what an inter-school competition really is, by making me to participate in TCS ITWiz and many contests like that. It's not like I didn't get prizes at all, I did bag a few first prizes and some good remarks.

Above all things, the activity which made me happy was writing blogs. That's the only improvement, I think, I did in 2017! Of course, there might've been some other small stuff I did last year, but I enjoyed writing blogs.
I'm expecting good remarks and stuff in 2018. It's still a new month of a year, so I don't think it's too late to post this.

Remember, I'll be visiting the book fair tomorrow!!

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...

Recap 2025

    2025 was a year of trials, tribulations and triumphs. A mixtape of emotions. A year where either conditional probability did not apply to my life or there were more variables in play. It was a year of shedding: both light and deadweight. The year quietly announced itself towards the end of 2024, when I had a wonderful exploration of the Ripon Building and its surroundings. It quietly set the tone for the new year – wandering, observing and letting curiosity take the lead. The first two months were mildly eventful. I was selected to be the head of Registration Committee for Vibrance. I enjoyed the hustle – the checklist, the controlled chaos and the celebrations. I was simultaneously handling my submission for the semi-finals of the Google Girls’ Hackathon, and I’m grateful to my committee and my parents for being supportive. I had an instrumental phase, and I remember blasting the Imperial March in the middle of the night while working. It turned out to be much better ...

The beauty of antithesis

It is human to crave order Inhuman to resist the antithesis. One steadies the room The other wakes your doom It is all around us, omnipresent. Dare I say, nay, I declare. In nature, in physics In perfect relationships In the blank space of art Or the black text in a white part Youth teaches you to embrace it Experience forces enjoyment Conservatives, resistance. Yet Immortal, its existence.
