Who are we?

Life is not always the same. Changes are inevitable,so are problems. At times, people say that you have changed. But, we may not actually realise it. Sometimes, we actually need someone to keep our darkest secrets safe, but couldn't find anyone to confide in. There's this wonderful habit of pouring your heart down and letting yourself to discover who you are and what you want. We all tend to write that in our New Year resolutions list, but we actually never follow it. Guess what? I'm talking about journal writing, or rather diary writing, as we call it.

I started writing this goal in my New Year resolutions list when I was in 4th grade. I was inspired by Anne Frank then. Every year, I used to start writing a journal in different note books, and the longest I've maintained is for 2 months.  And recently, after watching a few episodes of Vampire Diaries, I was somewhat intrigued to write journal. Something from those persuaded me that I didn't have to wait till next January to start a new journal. And I've been writing continuously for three weeks now.

Journal writing is the toughest easy job anyone could do. It is easy because all you do is jot things down, whatever you feel. I did the same, and I discovered a few changes that everyone keep telling me that had actually happened. It secures your feelings and thoughts from spreading, if you keep your diary safe. The toughest part of this activity is that you'll have barriers that would stop you from continuing it. Anything, like tests, homeworks, tiredness, or even laziness, in my case.

This is something which I'd recommend everyone to take up. Just try it for a month,and you'll see the change for yourself. You might even see the creative you! Let me know if you take this challenge.

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...
