'Hi'gh school!

I'm not even tall yet, but I'm in high school. This sounds weird, right? It's the first weekend of high school and I'm glad that consists of two days. I've now gone 'back to school' as a ninth-grader and this is how my first week went.

This whole high school stuff is both exciting and boring. Exciting when it comes to be the seniors, to do new stuff, to have two gym classes. And boring when others tell you you have to take up more seriousness and be role models to the younger batches. The first three days of my ninth grade went really good, and I hope that'll be the same for the rest of the year.

The most exciting part about a ninth grade is studying. They just teach you a section a day, and all you have to do is to read that and ask as many questions as possible. This is totally my thing! And I'm pretty much excited about math this year because I'll be taking it a bit seriously. I like all my teachers, and my class mates are great too.

But high school also involves studying for more hours. Study time has become 2-3 hours everyday for me, because it does take time to recall what we did in class. So, that's the reason I couldn't update this earlier. And as I have two days holidays, I do have a few assignments to do. But that can't keep me from enjoying my weekend because something "BIG" is going to happen 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...

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...
