Rewind? Yes!

There was once a time when I was so obsessed with Dora. Then, she went by and Barbie came in. When it was time for her to step aside, all the Disney princesses knocked my door. Apart from them, I had Noddy, Oswald, Thomas and his friends to keep me company. Suddenly, Harry Potter came in, and in the following years, I forgot all cartoons and became obsessed with fiction, especially dystopian fiction and fantasy. Is it possible for me to get the Princess fever again? Yes! Says Noah.

Since November, the internet especially YouTube has been having a new user. This man claims that he is from 2030. He says time travel actually exists. He has blurred his face using some technology, and claims that he has a chip in his wrist that lets him time travel.

In his first few interviews with Apex TV, he had given some predictions about the future of many countries, including India. What actually kindled my interest was the video in which he predicted a few events of 2019 and 2020. As for January, he had given two predictions, of which one has come true it seems.
1. A severe snow storm would hit the Midwest.
2. There will be UFO sightings.

Although the first one is easily predictable, it has come true. And UFO sightings, which may sound funny, can actually happen. I don't know if that has already happened, so if you know, please let me know :)
In his latest video, he has tried to explain what is time travel and how it is possible. And, he has also said he would show an actual time machine in his next video. True or not, we will soon discover, as time is running fast these days.

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...
