Maradalu Pilla-Part2

  Just like another day, it ended with dance class and I was drenched in sweat like I just had a shower.  I peddled faster to my hostel to be there by scheduled dinner time, else I won't be able to have one because our hostel attendant, bamma garu is very strict about timings, like she was a veteran of the military. 

Maradalu Pilla- Part1

Bava... Bava, bring some more sand, our castle is almost ready. Yeah, I'm on it, there you go! Wow look it's complete, beautiful isn't it. Indeed it is ... We walked away from there holding our hands, humming to the good old song "chiiti chilakama amma kottendha...."

Podcasts are great way to make your time productive while you are on the go or while you are on your fitness regime.  I love exploring topics in the form of podcast medium, I picked up this habit to hone my listening skills. 

A burning by Megha Majumdar-NOT A REVIEW

Image
You and I at some point of time might have opinionated on social wall , well most of the times it happens impulsive, they call it hot emotional thinking.  We all knew how radical thoughts are emulating on internet and how hopeless and unheard the minorities voices are.  But what if it costs your life? This is where exactly this whole book pivots around. 

My Year in Books,2020

Image
  My year in books,2020 is a quite a mix of non-fiction and fiction genres. 'How we got to know' will join my all time best reads in my literary world. In total I read 24 books in 2020, out of which 12 books were of non-fiction, well that sounds like a pretty balance in hindsight but it wasn't planned, I promise. 

Empty Road, Rainy day, Thankful souls

It was rainy and I was having my puff shot for the day watching the stranded roads, empty streets and wondering how quick things turned upside down in the past few weeks.  The nation went into a lockdown, these are the very same roads I rode miles and hours long on my little adventurous ride way back in 2016. 

Men's Day

I mean if the basic equation of feminism is to bring the equality onto the table then why this apprehension on masculinity. I have quite unsettling feeling on understanding the way we define the manhood by emphasizing on the way he respects the binary gender, why is it  defined in that way.

Elon Musk-my fav Supervillain

Image
  I discovered this Elon Musk guy way back in 2015, and ever since, the more I learned about him, the more he seemed like a Rockstar. But, of course, I would love to call him a Supervillain.     My reverence reached the point where my mom was taunting me for putting up his poster in place of Sai baba in my room, and my Dad was super disappointed for not remembering his birthday and cutting a cake for Elon’s birthday instead.    

Bhavani X Raavan

Image
  Bhavani from Master movie and Raavan from Ramyanam(Amish Tripathi's Ram Chandra series) are strikingly similar in the magnitude of vengeance, at least to me.  Childhood struggle    Both Bhavani and Raavan had to face a rough young phase, their normal childhood was taken away. While Bhavani faced the humiliation in jail cell, Raavan was abounded by his own father and seen as disgrace by the society.   The rise  Bhavani channeled all his anguish and pain to his nerves and developed a strong weapon, IRON FIST. Raavan was a one man army, chiseled like a monster. Reverence  Bhavani considers the supreme and wears the chains of religious. Raavan was quite pious to Lord Shiva, he wears a chain of attached with two skeleton fingers of vedavati, his love of life.  The Empire Bhavani mustered all the power he needed for 15 years to avenge the union leader of Nagercoil. Raavan lead to the fuel wars and brought down the Kubera the king of Lanka.  The Rise of Vishnu Bhavani led to the rise of

Algorithm’s Laughter Day

YouTube algorithm really got me, no this isn’t about the microphone driven suggestion thing, will talk about it sometime later.  So here is what happened: I was surfing through the home page and found the title "curb your feminism" a one-minute video. I enjoyed watching it, thrashing people with intellectuality has always been my cup of tea or at least I enjoyed that weird feeling.  Once, I am done watching it, my suggestion list followed by tens of videos captioned with “curb your attitude,” “curb your belief.” Typical machine learning thing, I’m totally fine with it. I went through each one of them till my screen time ended for the day, I am a person who sets a screen time for a day, so yeah, another weird thing to do in the age of screens. I laughed a lot and switched to twitter and found #worldlaughterday in the trending tab. Wait what? So, I laughed today because I was supposed to laugh on a laughter day. Now this is really a serious business, eliciting a feeling by expe

Let them envy

It was 7 am in the morning and I don't remember when was the last time I actually woke up at 4am and that too to visit a temple at this early hour with an empty stomach and take a rendezvous around the temple like a spaceship waiting at space station for the docking window.

The Cold New Year Night

The bustling streets are at it again, we all have seen what it's like to hear a drop silent city would be like.  The new year night has a different vibe of its own, over the years only the way I perceive it has changed. 

It felt Young

Haa, it's been a long time since I had to commute. Opened the Rapido app, woohh man that price showed me how broke I am. Ok dumbass, take the bus, remember the climate change you've read about in your recent read, I said to myself.
