Pre - shopping...

This is due last Sunday, but I'm posting this now due to some reasons. I had the best shopping experience ever on Saturday. Guess what, its not cosmetics or dresses, its 'BOOKS!'

In May, I got a forward message via Whatsapp about the Lock the Box sale. It's a grand sale for three days where about 90000 pre - owned books are up for sale. The most interesting thing is, there are three boxes of different sizes and all you have to do is take your box and fill it up!

I got a chance to visit the sale and do shopping. I was so glad when my school declared holiday then because it was second Saturday. I did buy a lot of books, I took the biggest box, the Hercules, which could fit about 30 books. I do wish I could've taken more books, but that's the biggest box they had. And as usual, I was over excited for the rest of the weekend. I never thought a weekend would be this perfect.

Now, these books lay opposite to my school book shelf. And the very next school day, my English teacher discussed a poem in class which relates to my situation now. (The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost) I'm confused, in choosing between these books or my school books. I don't want to miss either of the roads, so I'm trying my best to catch up!

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.
