A dialogue from a show!

"If you focus on protecting your heart, you can avoid a lot of pain. But you can also end up living half a life" - Hope (Virgin River) Sometimes in life, we reach a stage when we feel there is no point in moving forward. We just freeze emotionally and physically. We talk about 'Skipping a heartbeat' when we are in love but never realized, it also happens when we get anxious. There's constant pinning in the heart & not peaceful anymore. (metaphorically). This is a dialogue from a Netflix original show - VIRGIN RIVER. When we repeat this dialogue, again and again, we tend to find a different meaning every time. Somehow relating it to our incidents in the past. Our brain tries to recall all the moments, the moments that were always stuck in our sub-conscious but were suppressed. We start analyzing where the things should have gone differently and times we should have either stepped up for ourselves or stepped down for once. We fear pain, not because it hurts emot...

Hopefully

Days have changed and what I used to feel certainly that has changed. Having an obsession is a good thing when it drives you to achieve much more difficult and ambitious stuff. But (why there is always a ‘but’ involved) Problem is when obsession makes you bad-crazy and that is different from good-crazy you already are. Still there’s a chance you can turn that around. Expectations is a word that destroys life. (Period) When expectations and obsession join hands and party together, it kind off makes you dead from inside. All the things you have done that has made you & others appreciate you all your life, will be like the remains after a nuke attack. Tryin' to reset my mind switch but this obsession-expectation mix is eating me inside-out. Despite being so much difficult, you have to fight your own battles...right? Maybe I can turn the tables,  “ Hopefully ”.

Kasol - Kheerganga Trek

Image
Chalo Kasol! OC - Kabeer, and OCC - Nikhil,  started planning weeks before the exams. Kabeer & Nikhil had already been to Kasol - Kheerganga in summer's so there wasn't much of the planning to do (obviously this is an understatement), I mean we didn't have to start from scratch. The only thing we had to decide was whom to take and whom not (this is important xD), with the expertise of Nikhil and Kabeer and the divided opinion of the rest which eventually came to a common ground we were ready to rumble. This was going to be a long trip as we had a weekend plus the Dussehra holiday, this was another advantage on our side doing everything in a rush had always irritated me, savouring the moment is one of the most important parts of any trip. October 4, 2019 We were finished with the exams but more than the exhilaration that comes with the end to another set of academic torture there was the excitement of the upcoming trip. We finally going !!! On reaching the hostel...

Suits

"Win a no-win situation by rewriting the rules". I won't perjure myself by writing a single word that isn't true. Probably I'm giving the correct example - Like some personalities become legends because of what they have accomplished over time that was impossible to even think rather making it happen in their respective fields, I think that happens with TV Shows also. SUITS is one of the shows that set the standards if a show can or cannot be included in Best shows of all time. From the very first minute of the pilot, you and show will be sharing a beautiful symbiotic relationship. And definitely, you being the benefiting species. SUITS is one of the finest Legal Drama series.  If the Law is something that interests you, then this show is a diamond mine. The show has a storyline that keeps you on edge with every single episode and characters that you grow to love. I have watched, loved, lived and even learned from the show since The Pilot and the journey...

Zoo - TV show

Image
The wild shall inherit the Earth. The defiant pupil. Do you like science fiction? What do you think about drama and thriller? Honestly, I feel drama and thriller fiction is my zone. Sci-fi is not my preference when I am searching for a show to start. The problem that I find is, I don't like the non-real concepts and logics theme of the show. I have watched some movies but they never come to my top favorite movies. Also, I'm more of a TV show guy, I like step by step story building. Episodes can be bad and good but a single episode will never justify how the show is, that's the best thing. This show is for those people who love (in the past and present tense) watching different wildlife shows on Discovery Channel and Nat Geo. The title of the show explains - what theme it is gonna be based on. The concept "The defiant pupil", I don't know if it is real or not. I gave it a shot because I like wildlife documentaries. I think the animals were real througho...

Deception - TV show

Image
Magic is Deception Do you like magic? Do you like putting all your brain nerves, out of senses? To what extent you know about magic? Simple answer - I like magic. If you do too, then just don't think too much and start watching the pilot. Magic is not something we expect criminals will use in their criminal activities.  Do you mean like magic - magic? Is it even possible to use magic like that? Hint - find out yourself. If you like surprises you will enjoy this show. Just be ready to get amazed and there might be some sleepless nights. As each episode ends with suspense and you just can't resist watching the next and next and so on. You might scold your brain after watching the show. It is quite surprising how our brain deceives us every day, every time. It is beautifully explained in the show. The show is a crime mystery and has an unexpected story plot. Is a magician/illusionist so good that the FBI makes him a consultant? There are many questions this show r...

Peaky Blinders

Image
By order of the Peaky F**kin’ Blinders. A crime drama based in England in 1919. In my opinion, this show isn't for everyone. The show demands a special taste in viewers who will actually like and appreciate the show. If you like watching drug wars, gang fights, and historical fiction, then this is the show made for you.  The show also demands patience, as you can find the story, slow in starting but o nce the plot is set and you get immersed in this show, you won't be able to foresee the end. In my experience, I did not find the 1st season boring or slow. It was okay-okay, the reason is s eason 1 is like a build-up season. B ut what future seasons serve you is just pure cream. How gangs and politics worked back in England is nicely presented by the show. How planning and plotting are done for executing a plan is another thing you should appreciate the show for. There's a reason you like a show, either it teaches or reflects an idea/theme that you feel connected ...
