People in My Life

I can't give up on people. Why you ask?

It's my mind that rules my thoughts. My fucking ingeniously stupid mind!

It never lets me give up, ever. Many a person have come into my life, some have stayed, some have abandoned me, and some I have abandoned. But, all have left memories, memories that I regret or love, or both. Some have been formative, defined who I am. Memories that have shown me how to live a life, may it be the distant memory of the class-trip to Nepal or the recent Wall Art Festival/noco Project memories. All have defined me in someway or the other.

This is the reason I am unable to give up. People, knowingly or unknowingly, make me who I am, define what I am, show me my positives, indicate my negatives. They judge me, abuse/misuse me, take my heart and throw it into the gutter or trample it. But, they may also protect it with their life, give me the love I long for.

I am happy to have found the people that exist in my small bubble of knowledge. The sweet and savory memories, the laughable moments of silliness, the urgency to tell your secret that I have protected all my life to everyone I care about; the bond of truth and lies with a person.

I know that my small bubble will be ever expanding. When the time comes for me to perish, sooner or later, I will not regret anything.

I am Back!

After a dry spell and major writer’s block, I have decided to revamp my blog a bit. Nothing interests me more than watching movies and commenting on how wonderful or disappointing they were. Not that I am an expert from the film industry or a film reviewer by profession. But I am a viewer, with a potentially liberal opinion. So, I will try to be as considerate yet firm as possible in my reviews. Do not worry, as I will try to post other stuff as well—writings, poems, and such. In short, my kind readers, I am back with a possible bang. I will try to be regular, I promise.

Memoirs of the Wall Art Festival!《WAFの記憶》

Life is filled with journeys. The journeys are a part of our eternal search for destiny. It is the part of our route to destiny, which is also filled with hardships, failures, and successes. Further, the journeys toward our destiny are the seedlings of our wilderness. Walking in the moonlight, humming silly Rajashri Productions' songs or laughing at idiotic things with your friends in a quiet village scene is one of the most unprecedented events in most of our lives. It marks the specialness of the night itself. The most recent experience of mine was in a small village of Ganjad, which left me spellbound and satisfied. It was during the Wall Art Festival 2014, organized by a Japanese NGO. There I ended up interacting with a host of new emotions. The village air, the Japanese enthusiasm, the beauty of the nature, the innocence of the children, the beautiful art, all conjoined into one big bag of lovely experiences. In my knowledge, we city dwellers care less about these exp...

Movie Review: Sometimes

The other day, after watching Dhobi Ghat for the second time, Netflix suggested that I watch a Tamil movie called Sometimes (Tamil: Sila Samayangalil ). Interested by its plot, I decided to start watching this seemingly somber film. Well, I wasn’t disappointed, but neither was I amazed. I got what I expected. Before we get to that, I think I should dive a little deeper into the plot. Seven strangers, waiting in a blood test center’s waiting room for their HIV test results, decide to bribe the counter lady so that they can get to know their results as soon as possible. The counter lady finds out only half the information—one of the seven people is HIV-positive. Rather than relieving their stress, it increases the protagonists’ necessity to know the results. This is the basic plot, literally the one displayed on Netflix.  This 2018 movie has the coveted Prakash Raj and Nasser. Prakash Raj, as usual, gives a stellar performance, whereas Nasser is present on screen for barely fiv...
