The Marvellous Mrs Maisel- A Show That Every Woman Should Watch
The woman, as Einstein said, who follows the crowd, will go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before. Dynamic, charming and astute, women are marvellous creatures. They have the ability to endure, sustain, thrive and produce. It is also true that not all women have the courage to speak up or take a stand for themselves. Amidst the Corona scare, another show that I finished recently is The Marvellous Mrs Maisel. Set in Manhattan (the 1950s), this show revolves around a charming young woman called Midge. Midge is married and has a fairytale-like life…

PANCHAYAT: Subtle, Honest and Enjoyable
Susan Lewis once said that it is important to get to know your characters- even talking to them is imperative. And if your characters do not talk to you, then your characters have a serious problem. Well, Chandan Kumar’s Panchayat seems to follow this advice religiously as all the characters do not end up solely as caricatures. TVF’s flawless new production brings forth yet another coup that caters to the current interest of the audience. Last year, when Kota Factory was released around the same time, the students went crazy behind the concept and enjoyed the web series to the core. This year again TVF has hit the bull’s eye…

Special Ops- A Sluggish and Drawn-Out Web Series
Watching an espionage thriller can set anyone’s heart pumping. The adrenaline rush is so intense that the heart seems fit to burst at every juncture that is unanticipated. We all have been binge-watching such thriller shows lately owing to ‘chilling time’ that we have on our hands and thus, it would definitely come as a surprise to me of you say that you haven’t watched Hotstar’s Special Ops. Special Ops, starring Kay Kay Menon in the lead role, is based on the terrorist attack on the Indian Parliament in 2001. RAW officer, Himmat Singh, claims that other than the five dead terrorists, there is another man, the sixth man, who…

Out of Love- Cliched yet Riveting- A Review
Web series are the newest source of entertainment owing to their limited number of episodes, curated content and exemplary acting cameos. While several shows are streaming every day on either Hotstar or Amazon prime, the one that caught my attention recently was Out of Love on Hotstar VIP. Starring Rasika Dugal and Purab Kohli in the lead roles, this show offers a roller-coaster ride. Amidst love, lust, betrayal, friendship and revenge, this series portrays an amalgamation of emotions that a human mind can host. Out of Love is based on an original series that goes by the name of Doctor Foster by Mike Bartlett. It revolves around the decisions a…

Stargirl Teaches You to Be Yourself- A Review
The lockdown has been exciting so far because of the streaming networks like Hotstar, Prime and Netflix. Now that Hotstar has been taken over by Disney +, my joy knows no bounds. I am quite literally living the life of Riley! Recently I watched Stargirl by Disney+ and I was left amazed. It is an adaptation of a book by the same name written by Jerry Spinelli. Stargirl is about a girl who likes to do things that others find awkward. She loves dancing in the rain, shouting out to the universe so that she can be heard, petting a rat, walking alone to her home and singing without any…

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…

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,…

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…

A Voice in the Wilderness #Odds&Evens #2
Last week, when the workplace had to offer extra working hours and the body was denied sleep or rest owing to scary deadlines, I wished for a day off to reset my mind and start afresh. Since taking leave was out of the question, I had to find solace in pouring my heart out in the form of words. Ironically, it is then when I realized that often words fail to express what the heart or the mind feels. Thanks to the people around us, we are often left contemplating our choices and decisions. But as long as we are benefitted by our actions, we are good to go! Read…
