Frames of Me

  Hello people! Y'all know, and for those who don't know, today's match was between CSK and DC. With regard to today's match, I was both disappointed and amused. To begin with the disappointment part, of course, I was disappointed that CSK faced their first defeat in the league. Especially, at moments like Rahane getting out at 45 and a point where Mukesh took back-to-back wickets, I became really down. I didn't get to watch the first few overs, but I heard that the first two wickets were lost for 1 run each. This was not CSK's day after all I guess. But to be honest, after the 4th wicket fell, I was eagerly waiting for Dhoni's arrival, but he arrived when the 6th wicket fell. At that point, I felt a little silly. I think this was the main point I am going to be discussing about. When Dhoni came, the whole stadiun was filled with cheers of hope. Especially when Khaleel missed his catch, hope was really high that 'Thala' was going to make use of this ...

  Hi folks! Recently, I got to watch one of Tarantino's remarkable entries into his filmography, 'Inglourious Basterds'. I've heard quite a lot of rave reviews about the film from cinephiles, most of them being Tarantino fans. The film's one-liner itself hooked me to the film and incited interest in me to go check the movie out. The plot of the movie is this:  Lt. Aldo Raine, a black ops soldier along with his crew of Jewish-American soldiers sets out to kill Nazi soldiers and finally Hitler himself. On the other hand, a Jewish theatre owner, too, has plans to massacre Nazi Germans while they are attending the premiere of a German propaganda film. What happens next and did their plan work out or not forms the crux of the film.  Spoiler Alert! Now frankly speaking, I was a little disappointed with the film. It is a historical fiction, and what intrigues with historical fiction is, you cannot alter history, but still, manage to weave a fictitious tale without taking t...

  Hello people! Is everyone around you trustable? Is everyone in this world acting only in your best interests? Well, quite not. We all know that we have adversaries in our life. If not, we haven't grown full mature. If you are growing and if there are people against you, then its an indication that you are developing.  It is not very difficult to tackle your adversaries. The problem is, identifying one. That is the harshness of this world. Both friends and adversaries look alike. It is quite difficult to identify who is your friend and who is not. If everyone around you seems to be good and kind-hearted, it could only mean two things: one, you are not upto the mark or two, you are not cautious enough. The best way to identify an adversary, is to identify hypocrisy. We ought not come to a conclusion of a certain person only with respect to how he/she is acting towards us, but from various other aspects. You may think that if this much scrutiny is needed for just interacting wi...

  Today, we staged our play for the second time at SRM, the first being at Selaiyur Hall in MCC. From the start, we actually had a lot of problems. Firstly, the rehearsal began 20 minutes later than expected. Then, my phone got misplaced but luckily I found it back.  Many of us weren't able to get to the station on time. Some of them had to come by two-wheeler. But finally, we managed to reach the place on time. And, we actually put up a great show and received standing ovation. Not to flex, but we were told that we made MCC proud. After that, they had arranged dinner for us. But some of them couldn't stay back and had to leave. The rest of us stayed back and had our dinner. But unfortunately for us, just as we were opposite the station, the train left. We waited for half an hour, got our train and got home. It was pretty hard, but to be honest, it was a great experience. I got to learn a lot. It was really a personality enrichment for me. The time we had in the train, it was ...

  Hello everyone! Giving up is so easy. If at all you feel like you have done enough or you can't go further because you have not the skill, this is the path everyone takes. What I feel is, whenever one feels like he/she is about to fail, it is best to continue what one has been doing so far with the same level of intensity, because that is the time when one knows about his/her own level of temperament.  I would like to mention here today's match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians. The Sunrisers were on Cloud 9 after posting such a record-total, while it was quite evident that it is too difficult for Mumbai. Yet, they gave a good fight and lost the match only in some 40 runs or so, I guess. It's their game that made me curious. Each and everyone, even after they knew that they were fighting a lost battle, gave their everything. Because their aim was to increase the run rate. It's good to know that we had been fighting a lost battle for so long, since that is...

  Yesterday, I had my Value Education exam. I did it quite well. Of course, there is nothing right or wrong when it comes to Value Education. But I wonder, what is the need to hold exams in it. For that, we need to understand the need for such a subject at the college level. What is Value Education? It is basically a type of study which adds to our knowledge about values. In it, we have several branches. Social Studies, Christian Studies, and Gender Studies. Value Education period is actually not new to me. Till my third grade, I had a class called Conversation Class, where the students would simply talk with the teacher. That was a great idea first of all. But the problem is, we had that class only till our third grade. Actually, we should have such classes more intensively only after then. Because, as we get promoted, we are taught about various subjects, except that of values. We are only taught to think with respect to our career, our freedom, etc. In a way, we are trained to b...

 Hi guys! It's quite difficult to find a failed hero right! A popular notion is that a hero is meant to inspire and therefore, he is not allowed lose. He is victorious in some way or the other. Either by breaching of logic or by some divine intervention which is inexplicable. But does it need to be the case every time? I mean, I understand that a hero is there to instill hope, but would only winning instill hope in people.  Even people around us concentrate only on cheering us and motivating us to face life more, giving us hope that life is more than just one victory whenever we lose. I find that approach more realistic and useful. The two pictures that you saw in the beginning, is that of Dhanush in Captain Miller and Andrew Garfield in Spider-Man: Far From Home. I purposefully chose these two pictures because of the characters. First about Captain Miller. It is a very big film and it has a wider theme, but I wanted to talk about one aspect. That one aspect which all the othe...
