Should I Continue My Self-Depreciating Jokes?

-

 I’ve been asking myself this question for a while now, but before I come to any conclusion, I end up making one of these self deprecating jokes in front of my friends anyways.

I don’t mind much, considering they’re mostly filled with fake yet sad emotions, although I would agree that they have a pinch of truth. But regardless of that I have no problem with making these jokes about myself. But well, I’ve been told to stop my self deprecating jokes for a while now, and it’s not just jokes, sometimes you’d really call yourself anything in the flow, and that counts as depreciating yourself? I mean, I’m not even conscious when I’m trashing myself! 

I know people make blogs about favorite movies, cringe routines, interesting hobbies, etc. but this turned into a blog-worthy topic after one of my friends once again said me to stop as she couldn’t put up with me using anything negative to refer to myself.

Now I do gotta applaud all of my friends that tell me to stop, since isn’t it wholesome that they wanna see me have a good vision about myself? I do understand that, but I can’t help but continue making these jokes.

And for all of your information, I don’t mind trashing myself, considering I don’t mind doing that and it puts up some fun and amusement in my mind, but I guess I could try not doing it in my friends? Yeah. I should try that. That would be good.

Alright, I guess I did end up addressing something random again which, anyone, who doesn’t know me won’t understand. But this blog’s reach is as low as my IQ (this is what annoys my friends, right?) so not expecting it to far-fetch anyone else either.

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...
