Watching Twilight For The First Time. Top Story - November 2024.
This is sort of weird for what an avid reader of young adult fiction I was back in my teens, but I never actually read much of Stephanie Meyer’s famous Twilight. I briefly borrowed one of the books from my cousin, skimmed a few pages, and then gave it back because I didn’t like it. And that’s where it ended for me.

Joker: Folie à Deux et les folies d’un réalisateur
Two very different Jokers, from several perspectives, starting with the explosive box office success at the Venice Film Festival of the first film, compared to the colossal disappointment of the second. This was not what anyone had signed up for. The first film left the stage with a Golden Lion and Joaquin Phoenix pocketing an Oscar for Best Actor. Quite the curtain call. The second? Well, it barely managed to keep the audience awake, let alone intrigued.

The Art of Storytelling: It Was A Good Day
🎶Just wakin' up in the mornin', gotta thank God I don't know, but today seems kinda odd🎶 There is absolutely no way you could hear these classic opening lines from Ice Cube’s layback groove known as “It Was A Good Day” and not be having a good day. This West Coast Hip Hop classic is not only one of the greatest Hip Hop songs ever, but also a true display of the art of storytelling.

The Toxicity of Hustle Culture
Another dream that did not reach its fruition, another soul that was shattered by its externality. It is heartbreaking to hear the recent news about a dynamic young professional , Anna Perayil, living in Pune, from EY who took her life due to extreme work pressure and a toxic workplace environment.

Women on Screen: Psychological Themes in Contemporary Indian Cinema
Cinema and film are prevalent forms of mass communication that significantly influence opinions, shape perceptions, and reinforce prevailing cultural norms. They entertain audiences globally, offering an escape from everyday life by creating an alternate reality. Additionally, cinema has the power to alter individuals' mindsets and help establish new cultural, social, and political values. Indian cinema has long been a significant part of Indian culture, impacting society and individual lives in various ways. Movies influence people's fashion choices, speech, and social behaviour, both directly and indirectly. Over time, Indian cinema has evolved from traditional mythological films to "Bollywoodized" adaptations of successful Hollywood movies. In the 1970s, Indian cinema began to adopt a more socially conscious and politically focused approach.
