The Whale
There are two parts to the movie. One is about how good the movie is and the other is the controversy surrounding the casting and the whole question if the movie is Fatphobic. I would like to look at each of them here. What an amazing performance by Brendan Fraser. Fraser plays an 600 pound recluse Gay English teacher who is trying to connect with … Continue reading The Whale
So I will Write… again….
Yesterday I went over some of my old posts and I felt they were not that honest as I expected them to be. Or I could not see myself in them. Even a bit of dishonesty in some of them. Why is that? May be I have changed since I wrote them. May be I felt that way back then. May be that was me … Continue reading So I will Write… again….
Day 17 Do YouTubers Lie ?
Yesterday I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I even went to sleep on the wrong side I think. On my way to drop my son at school in the morning, he was actively chatting as usual about some YouTube video he watched. It was about some YouTube talking about their wait time in restaurant. Like a total dick I told him … Continue reading Day 17 Do YouTubers Lie ?
Day 16 The Day after Thanksgiving Break
I don’t mean they after Thanksgiving. That was three days ago. I mean the day after Thanksgiving Break. The Monday. Today. When you sit at your desk and listen you can hear people asking each other how their Thanksgiving was. No one seems to be unhappy that the break ended. While it is the same holiday for all, everyone seems to have spent it in … Continue reading Day 16 The Day after Thanksgiving Break
15/365 A Transparent World
What would a transparent world look like? A world where everyone can be themselves. People do not have to show more than what they have. Where there is no fear to say what you think is the right thing. Where one can fail and not be punished for it. Where success is appreciated but not used for comparisons. Where one is not belittled for being … Continue reading 15/365 A Transparent World
14/365 Nothing is Permanent
Last few days I have not been I have not been lifting any weights in the Gym, but I go there as part of my project and do Cardio. The reason for not lifting weights is that I have a bad shoulder and sometimes it starts paining. I have to give it a few days. But Nothing is permanent as they say. Some twenty years … Continue reading 14/365 Nothing is Permanent
13/365 On Shared Pains and Shared Struggles
How do we connect with people? What brings us together. Is it the fun times we spent together? Is it the fun things we did together?. I don’t think so. What brings me closer to people is the shared pain and struggle. Even with total strangers I have found being connected via shared experiences. Mostly the pain and struggles. I don’t know why, but it … Continue reading 13/365 On Shared Pains and Shared Struggles
12/365 And then I listen more
Today I forgot to carry my earphones to the Gym. This means no podcasts, Music or Audio Books. But I observed something fascinating. I will always be listening to something. Driving. Cooking, chores at home, Gym, Walking.. You name it I will be listening to something. This also means that I will be totally unaware of the sounds in my surroundings. I hear so much … Continue reading 12/365 And then I listen more
11/365 The idea of insignificance
Today as I was working out I was looking at the mirror and the word that came to mind was ‘Insignificance’. We live in a world where everyone wants to be important. Even as I write this, what I want is more people to read this. For more people to know me. We do a lot of things to feel important but we should not … Continue reading 11/365 The idea of insignificance
10/365 An hour a day learning something new
Today I was in training all day. Sitting in place listening to someone teach. I always find one single sitting even with breaks very tiring. So when I went to the Gym in the evening, I was kind of worn out. I went slow. My mind was thinking about learning. Maybe the after effects of the training. I also had a conversation with my daughter … Continue reading 10/365 An hour a day learning something new
