This Lion Roars Loudly and Beautifully!!

Before starting this post, I made up my mind firmly to not let my emotions ride my fingers while writing about this film. First things first, this film is not wickedly amazing or Suprecalifragilisticexpialidocious, it's just simply beautiful. The movie revolves around Saroo Brierley who gets lost at a railway station in Calcutta at the age of 5 and is adopted by an Australian couple. After 25 years, Saroo finds himself in a state of dilemma and embarks on a journey to meet his real family in India. The character of young Saroo is portrayed by Sunny Pawar who delivered an exceptional performance while the British actor Dev Patel played the adult part. The film also consists Nicole Kidman in the role of Saroo's adoptive mother. The performances by actors are so Herculean that even brought the likes of Salman Rushdie to tears. The scene where Nicole Kidman reveals to Dev the reason of adoption to the scene where Sunny finds himself helpless are enough to get the handkerchiefs out of your pockets. If you have already seen the movie following the oscar hype (like me) then congrats you have got a good taste, and if not, then for the sake of Mother Mary, watch this one.

PS: Miss this flick and complain there are no good movies nowadays. One more thing, you can also donate for the betterment of thousands of missing children in India. As part of #LionHeart campaign, they are working with charitable organisations of Magic Bus, Childline India and Railway Children India to change the ground reality. Here's the link: Lion Movie     

Thank You, Rakshit Nair, for the edits :)

Why Hindi is Uncool?

Image
It's almost mid of April and I am still unable to find a Summer Internship. This thing is more important than spotting some white chicks with your brown friends in Goa. So, I am preparing my CV to at least be eligible to show up at employers' place. I have mentioned heavy quiver of skill sets such as Expert in Microsoft Powerpoint, considering that I only know how to apply Bubble - Circle transitions. Now, comes the part which put me in a state of dilemma. It is asking Languages you know and I just entered English as first and Hindi as second and scrolled down. But then all of a sudden, I thought of correcting myself and interchange the languages. Now was the worst part - If I put Hindi as first, wouldn't my employer already judge me and if I put English as first, then I would be lying to my conscience because I am that kind of person who loves to speak in Hindi and it is the swearing part that makes it cooler.    Instead of filling the remaining fields and applying

Few Lessons I learnt from College

Image
Title of this post makes it way more obvious than Why Katappa Killed Bahubali that what's it about. This journey from 03rd August, 2015 to 28th May, 2018 was no less than a typical Bollywood Masala. From conflicts, controversies to college-shaming and loads of laughter, this voyage had it all. Without taking much of your time, I'll interrupt my sob story and continue with the theme of this blog. So, here are the following things I learned in college (start of a 14 marks answer): 1. Time is the biggest teacher. Either you learn to flow with it, or stand still to see the world change its shape. It has the power to turn strangers into friends and vice versa. Time will show who's worth it and who/what is not. In the end, you'll regret wasting it on things that never deserved it. 2. F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Don't make the mistake of watching 'Dil Chahta Hai' in first year of your college, save it for the last (and yes, that goa trip isn't going to happen).

A Not-So-Normal Day

Image
This is something that happened last week during my midterm exams. I was waiting at the bus stop to get to the college. The many-fold increase in my finger tapping speed was cueing that I had already gotten late. Finally, I saw two large beams coming my way bearing the number 623. This bus was supposed to be a bit crowded but to my surprise, on that particular day, it wasn't. I hopped in and got in line to get the ticket. All of a sudden, I felt a little jerk from behind and within a blink of the moment, I was made like a football passing through a bunch of Barcelona midfielders. One of the midfielder with the tormenting breath was just up to my face and I can assure you, my nostrils have never gone through anything worst. And then the inevitable happened, a hand slipped into my front jeans pocket and my phone went phew!! Without giving any second thought to anything, I reached out and grabbed the hand of the person standing next to me. I asked him for my phone and he did
