Marriage Stress

Marriage Stress So tell me who is the most important person at Indian weddings ? Did you say bride- No , Groom- No, Arey simple to hai- Its our guests. I felt so relieved when new guidelines regarding number of guest at weddings were issued due to the current pandemic situation not because I am antisocial or I don't like people but because so much burden to appease the society with lavish expenses was not their. Honestly, I never understood this craze of spending so much just for a day and this social media has made it even worse. The expenses are not just limited to the bride's and groom's family, but even the guest spend blindly just because they can't repeat clothes and those wedding gifts I tell you. Firstly, its the bride's and groom's day, but still do you really think that people remember what YOU wore on some other function. Even if they do what's the problem in flaunting your favorite dress again. I mean no one's going to charge you, its your ow...

Equality or Superiority

  Equality or S uperiority It’s not about women’s right, it about human’s right. I am sure all of you have heard tons of debate on women’s right, equality, feminism and so many things. But what I want to talk about is not women’s rights but actually how these rights have been confused with our right/wrong deeds. Over the time, with the emergence of social media I have realized that most of our influencers are not striving to educate women about their rights but they are actually imposing a belief in them that everything they do is right just because they are women and they are free to do whatever they want. Since past few years I have heard of so many cases where women have tried to dominate men in the name of their freedom and rights. Be it the case of Zomato’s delivery boy or Amity university Noida incident or Jasleen Kaur’s Harassment case. The laws made for protection of women in our country have been misused time and again. Many have started claiming that women are supe...

Smartphones and our elders

Smartphones and our Elders Remember the days of having to press a key hundred of times to type a text ? #nokia1100waledin.  Just imagine you are given those keypad mobile phones now and told to survive with them on 100sms/day and no internet facility, I swear you can't! Technology has come a really long way from Orkut to Instagram, from Java to Android and from color TV to smart TVs. We all grew with the technology but someone who was left behind in this race were our elders. And its not because they are not intelligent enough and we are some sort of unidentified Einsteins, but its because they came in terms with these devices at a very later stage of their lives unlike us who are glued to these gadgets 24*7. Let's go back the memory lane, the times when we knew nothing, our parents taught us to utter words, crawling, eating, walking and the list goes on. And when we look back they did all this so happily and patiently. Having my own niece at home and watching her grow I know h...

Top 10 Bollywood Movies Based on Real Life Gangsters Satya (1998) Satya  is a  crime film , produced and directed by Ram Gopal Varma  and  written by Saurabh Shukla  and Anurag Kashyap.   The film follows Satya (Chakravarthy), an immigrant who comes to Mumbai looking for a job, befriends Bhiku Mhatre (Bajpayee) and is drawn into the Mumbai underworld.  Satya is a gritty, hellishly exciting film  that influenced every gangster film after it, and one where all the elements-performances, characters, music, cinematography, action-came together perfectly.
