The second half of the year has begun. The specialty is there would be many long weekends because of the festivities. It’s the time of the year when I wallow of not having the “family friends” which our parents were blessed with in their generation. Maybe they were just the neighbours or colleagues who became family, but there were picnics held, day trips done to temples etc. Now, in the big metro...
That’s the short for “The summer I turned pretty” web series on Amazon Prime. The teenager in the house is mad about it driving me mad too. I remember being that mad about tv shows back then. And about bookish romance too. Heck, I was more interested in Nancy and Ned than Nancy’s adventures or Anne and Peter than the politics around them. The Hardy Boys had way too much action (not that of course!...
I have come out for the morning show today. For someone who never wanted to watch movies alone it’s amazing how life takes a twist to where I end up enjoying movie watching alone in a theatre. Yes there are other couples and gang of friends nearby you tempting your emotions to wallow in the loneliness but you can also remind yourselves to have a role play where in you are Anupama Chopra in the the...
Do you remember how in 90s there was a chat bot in Linux or was it Windows terminal? It was the yahoo chat and irc channels era where people didn’t hesitate to chat with each other asking asl by being anonymous. There was the possibility that we could connect with people outside of our immediate family. The new era of AI chat bots is reminding me of that era.We have seen the film “Her”. Though the...
Yesterday I heard various one liners which I think will help all of us. Most of them were regarding anxiety and loneliness; there is no new info there. But reiterating the same heard lines of advice may seep through the thick wall of our ego at some point in the future. Mindfulness - I kept on reminding myself to do headspace especially this new year since it’s a hatke resolution in the pool of ma...
Just another Monday in December. But on some mornings I get into blues, need not be a Monday though, and I start rambling. Twitter gets the brunt of it most, but since it’s already in deep s.h.i.t nowadays, I presume it’s won’t mind to carry some more. For me. I haven’t taken premium yet it gives me the platform to rant. I should be grateful since it’s a good way to relieve the negativity I have i...

Making habits is so hard. Some routines give contentment and some give fruitful results but for some routines we don’t see any results. There may be results but it’s not visible enough. Like the daily writing we are doing now. We wonder how it helps to blurt out the rambling’s coming unfiltered from the mind. The analogy I can think of removing the junk from the drain and the water pipes. To ensu...
One more month to go. Do you have that habit of retrospecting whole year and wondering what all you could’ve done? Yes there are achievements to be celebrated, small wins and moments that matter too. Mostly it’s the unfinished lists that you would be writing down to complete next year. As if that idea and clarity of achieving those goals drives you and energises you enough to get up and shake the ...
I am too immersed in book today to think or observe things to write about for the ongoing series. It’s about cooking, women and the misogynistic view of the country they staying in, and how it affects them deeply. It’s supposedly a thriller, but the repetitive cooking and descriptions of how the food taste etc is a bit overwhelming for me. I don’t like cooking much and do it for survival. I like a...
