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.

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...
