For the school's magazine...

This year we have various topics assigned for the students magazine, and the submission ended last week. So, I do have hope in getting mine published, but a little anticipation keeps me thinking. Anyway, the topic for 9th grade was, 'Effective use of Energy in Nation's Development.' and I took the writing part.

"Energy of mind is the essence of life."
When we think of energy, we recollect not its definition, but terms like solar energy, wind energy, atomic energy etc. The strength or power to do any work is energy. And I believe, the energy required for producing all other kinds of energy is Man power.

India is the 2nd most populated country in the world and in the nearest future, we might even reach the first place. According to a census, India's population today is 1.34 billion with 29 percent being children under 15 years. As people say, "today's children are tomorrow's citizens", the development of the nation will entirely depend on their talent and skill. More than three-fourth of this generation will be educated. Their contribution to the nation's development is the most precious form of energy. With youth literacy being 91 percent, most of this generation would want to go abroad. This may slow down the development of the nation. The reasons for migration are mainly high competition among jobs, talent exams and educational preferences, difference in incomes of different occupations, or lack of opportunities in various fields.

What could we do to prevent this? We can ensure that we get more opportunities in days to come. One of the attractions of foreign companies amongst this generation is a good package. In days to come, if we are ensured a hike in income, the migration rate of today (1520 emigrants per hour) would be reduced by half.

As Swami Vivekananda says, "All power is within you. You can do anything and everything." we the younger generation should realise that we are the energy of our country. We must do whatever we have to to bring India to the top level in the world's economy.

Saturdays with BK Uncle

Edit 1 : This is something I wrote a long time ago. repurposing for entertainment purposes. any harm thus caused isn't intentional; it happens to be a byproduct. Nobody knows how old BK Uncle is. Some say he's 60; some say he's awaiting his 80th birthday next month. He's been around for a long time. "Long time" might not seem so long, but for this young flat, it feels like an eternity. Old BK seemed nice; he'd converse with anyone he encountered. The four W's never mattered until they came out of him. People got used to his habits, like any obedient student would in an assembly. Well, most people. My interactions with BK Uncle have been quite amusing on my end and irritating on his. Incidentally, most of my interactions with BK Uncle happen on Saturdays. Probably because that's when I'm home, and I take a stroll in the lobby. Not so long ago, I'd play with my friends in the same lobby—it didn't matter what day of the week it was. Times...

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...
