Why Did I Start This Blog?

-

 If you’re someone from my friend group who has come here, or perhaps if I’ve begged you to appear here to check this out and rate my writing skills, then you’d know I’m an aspiring writer. As a 10th grader whose life revolved around studies, it was quite hard for me to start a blog. 

Some people may argue that if time is managed well, we can make studies and personal leisure time fit in our schedule like two Lego blocks. But for me I think it genuinely depends on the person who really wants to do so.


Anyhow, my 10th is over and I’m looking to start 11th with a goal of improving my writing skills, so I shall call myself a self-proclaimed writer from now on.


A wise person once told me, “if you write good and something different, you needn’t worry about whether or not will people like your content or not.”. Now I wish I could tell that person’s name, but what if I’m a bad writer and she regrets what she has said? And then I might get sued for unconsciously defaming someone, and I’m not looking forward to that.


At the end of the day, I think I’m doing pretty good for myself, but I do know that I may never be the best, but what’s wrong in improving? So hopefully y’all know why I’m pulling off this old-school stuff .

The Paradox Of Dhurandhar

-
So, I've finally watched Dhurandhar. Let's review it. This movie is still leading it's 1000 crore+ run in the box office, the media, the Bollywood industry and the average moviegoer crowd. But there are things that need to be talked about because when the crowd finds a good, theatre-worthy movie - a lot of aspects are overseen. I'll start by saying that this is a great movie, with a lot of effort put into it - be it the music, writing, CGI & VFX, acting. Every actor played their part to the fullest and did justice to the role. It's even harder considering the movie tries to base itself on sources to convey a true story through theatrical effects - and it does work out really well. The movie invigorates a feeling of injustice, agony, helplessness and rage among every Indian.  After all, Patriotism is its own genre in Indian Cinema. But that also seemed to be the biggest problem for me in this movie. The movie did fall flat in particular areas in terms of pacing a...

O' Romeo - About The Animalification Of Movies

-
In this world I live in, it's dangerous to state I'm a fan of Sandeep Reddy Vanga - the man who directed "Animal", and it's justified, to be honest. Because you never know how much may a movie impact someone, but lately we've been seeing how it impacts other movies. O' Romeo, the latest installment of a Vishal Bhardwaj film. The reason I went for the movie is because he's the most praised as a director, known for his slow but steady storytelling, his cinematography, soundtrack and direction - And I went in with an optimistic mindset, but it was a crazy experience to find out all I could draw out was a parallel - a parallel between other movies that've tried to imitate elements of the "Animal" film with overtly bloody violence, toxic "masculinity" and foul language - which the director justifies as it's with the same frequency people in this generation use in their daily lives. Which I'd consider valid too, but I wonder i...

Artificial Intimacy

-
The inspiration for this blog started from an advertisement I saw for a new product from a company known as "orchid.ai", the advertisement went something like this :- The startup Orchid introduced its personal assistant with a now-viral video, following a woman whose partner has forgotten their anniversary. After she tells Orchid what happened, the assistant contacts him, books a dinner reservation, arranges a flower delivery, and keeps her updated on his progress. At the end, the video poses a perfect make-up anniversary date. Ideally, you'd expect it to be a feel-good video, but there's a huge discomfort you feel when you try to interpret the impact of the ad, and what it tries to imitate and replace. Firstly, the ad shows the AI Agent responding in a way how you'd expect a close friend of your age to ideally respond - with those extra letters, sarcasm, exclamations, etc. Eventually making you feel the need to discuss everything with it. Instead of perhaps, revi...
