June - update

Alright, keeping up with new year resolutions is hard.

Hey there guys! I know I have been quite inactive and procrastinating. Let me tell you why that happened, and what you shouldn't do. It's only been a month, and this is what I learned from my monthly performance.

I'm in my sophomore year. As most people would tell you, you must be very organized at the beginning of your school year. Being on top of your to-do lists, signing up for every single thing that comes to your way, and so on. But they won't tell you one major thing - organization differs from person to person.

I tried being so organized this month. Mostly, June is my fav month, and I don't do anything serious at that time. But unfortunately, I found myself in a very hectic plan, and I hardly had time to breathe. And that's the time I realized one thing - you need to take time while figuring things.

Participating in every opportunity can get you a good name at school, but that is not exactly what you should be looking for. You should be looking forward to learning new things and gaining new experiences. If you have participated in the same contest twice or thrice, try a new field this time. And one more important thing, never be hesitant to say no.  I refused a lot of offers this month, and though I felt pretty low, I 'm doing my best to find time for those "on duties" too!

Planning routines never worked for me, I hardly follow them for a week. You must know what needs to be done, and what can be postponed. If you can stick to your schedule, well then, you're one of a kind! But if you're someone like me who plans stuff that day, or the last minute, then I highly recommend you to believe in yourself.

And finally, remember that you always learn from your mistakes. Committing mistakes is not an issue. But not rectifying them is not the right thing to do. Don't feel bad because you've done something wrong. Feel happy that you got to learn something that'll save you time before your main exams.

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...
