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...

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 ...

Undergrad Recap

I graduated last Sunday. My undergrad days have been a rollercoaster of things – good and bad. This is an honest recap of how I spent my undergrad. The post will contain some VIT-Chennai specific things. I’m sure there are multiple versions to the same story, and similar versions in other universities.  I am graduating with a Bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering with a Specialisation in Cyberphysical Systems from VIT, Chennai campus. The major part of the degree was my choice. The rest of it was on my “things that would work for me” list. I did not want to go to the Chennai campus precisely because a lot of people I knew went there/ were planning to go there. I wanted a fresh start to life. But life had other plans. Looking back, I don’t think it could have played out any better, and I’m graduating without any major regrets. I spent the first one and a half years enthusiastically exhausting myself by signing up for various things – clubs, events, special teams, webin...
