Money Heist- A Review
If you find it strange when I say that I have Stockholm Syndrome, then let me tell you that I do not have anything in defence. No, I have not been kidnapped but yes, I have fallen in love with a kidnapper. Pedro Alonso, who plays the role of Berlin in the first and second season of Money Heist, is the one who has stolen my heart. His charming looks, suave manners and his despicable beliefs are something that can draw anyone towards him. Money Heist or La Casa da Papel is a Spanish web series on Netflix that has all the elements of being called a potboiler. It is…

ASUR: The Battle Between Myth & Logic- A Review
The art of storytelling is an innately human quality. It is not affected by the invisible boundaries of religion, casteism, sex or myths. In fact, myths make the entire process of storytelling even more interesting because these mythological stories make the unexplainable seem plausible and they set the standard rules of morality. It would not be wrong to say that the Indian entertainment industry has revolutionized the content totally. There are more meaningful shows now with terse plots and vigorously expressive dialogues. Gone are the days when melodrama formed the essence of any TV show. The recent show being telecast on Voot, ASUR, is a live proof of what I…

Book Review: Abyss by Sabarna Roy
Abyss Author: Sabarna Roy Publisher: Leadstart Publishers Rating: 2.5/5 It has been rightly said that whoever tries to fight the monsters should ensure that he doesn’t turn himself into a monster. It is also true that the longer you stare at the abyss, the more it pulls you towards itself. ‘Abyss’ is based on the above notions. Amidst greed for power, wrath, envy and lust, the characters in Abyss find themselves trapped in an unfathomable chasm. The escape seems like a distant dream. What lies in store for them are the consequences of their choices. Abyss is a short play that is divided into two acts. With limited characters, the…

5 Hs to Make Your Hibernation Period Productive
Before I even begin, I promise to keep this post short. Most of you have been asking me about the things I am doing at home to spend time productively. And what would be a better time than this to write about the options I have! I follow the concept of 5 Hs. After making a list of things that I have been doing for the past few days, I came up with this concept. It is feasible and can be adopted by anyone. To make it clearer, here is a pictorial representation of the activities that can help you remain productive during the (figurative) hibernation period. To understand better,…

Trekking to Savandurga and Ramanagara Ramdevara Betta Hill
Somewhere between the bottom of the climb and the summit is the answer to the mystery why we climb. (Greg Child) Deciding whether we are mountain lovers or beach lovers has become a bone of contention now. While on our trips, we often engage in a battle of wills to decide whether we prefer spending some solitary time in the mountains or some relaxing time at the beach. To a great extent, we found the answer to this question when we went to the recent trek. We believe in living in the moment. So, when the week of work had taken a toll on our minds, we decided to book…

Book Review: Warming Fumes by Saurabh Pant
Warming FumesAuthor: Saurabh PantPublisher: Lulu.comRating: 3/5 These are trying times. Nature is expressing its anger in different forms. While mankind is taking forever to understand the consequences of the actions, Nature is doing its job of reclaiming its rightful position. Amidst these circumstances, ‘Warming Fumes‘ might actually be a clarion call for the human race. The nature poems reek of agony and angst. Each poem targets a specific area like the Arctic or the forests and describes the harm being done to the mute witness by the humans. There is no specific rhyme scheme but the poet makes sure to use allegory and symbolism to highlight the link between greed,…

Book Review: Unlocking the Universe by Stephan & Lucy Hawking
Unlocking the UniverseAuthor (s): Stephen Hawking & Lucy HawkingPublisher: Puffin Publishers I am so fortunate to have been coming across books that are not only informative but also easy to understand. When we were taught about the basic terminologies of Physical Cosmology in school, not all of us could understand the technicalities associated with Physics and Astrophysics at that time. Thankfully, ‘Unlocking the Universe’ is the book that unlocks all the doors to understanding the universe by referring and reading information that has been collated in one single volume. Unlocking the Universe explores the concepts of Big Bang Theory, the Theory of Relativity, Schrodinger’s Principle, Black Hole, the Drake Equation…

Is Nature Reclaiming Its Corona?
Coronavirus has been wreaking havoc on humankind. With more than 2 lakh cases of positive infection, the fear and hysteria are quite unavoidable. Countries are taking extreme precautions to forestall the infection from reaching a deadly stage where cure might seem like a shaky possibility. In the midst of all this chaos, there are opinions of millions of people floating on social media, some encouraging the patients, some mocking the government restrictions, some blaming the infected and some being responsible for ‘self’. Amidst all these, the one idea/ notion that makes complete sense to me is the idea of re-setting the universe to its original healthy form. The word Coronavirus…

Book Review: Curse of Suspicion by Dr Sujay Kantawala
Curse of SuspicionAuthor: Dr. Sujay KantawalaPublisher: Leadstart PublishersRating: 3/5 Trust is a dicey subject. Not everyone is willing to put in that kind of effort to make oneself trustworthy. Following the same principle is the story of the novella ‘Curse of Suspicion’. Trying to showcase the true side of a diabolical mind, the book mixes fiction and fantasy together in an attempt to present a plot that involves thrill and suspense. Curse of Suspicion is a story of a hapless child who bears the brunt of his father’s actions. Accused of the murder of his mother, Satyajit, is at loggerheads; he doesn’t know what to do. His father, Duryodhan, is…
