Gully Boy - Finally







             After a long wait, I finally managed to watch Gully Boy. And Boy, I must admit, I loved the movie. Blown with Ranveer and Alia's performance. As I sat through the movie, I realized, every character Ranveer plays, he justifies them so well. He gets into the role with perfection. Alia, is another actor who essays every role so beautifully. 
The whole movie made me believe Ranveer to be the real Gully Boy. His rapping in the movie is foot tapping. The guy who has played MC Sher - Siddhant has acted so well in the movie too. 

Recommendation: Very High
Rating: 5/5

For anyone who has missed, please go watch it.

Artists and their Creativity

           





              Every artist makes me wonder, where and how do their creative juices flow? If we have to talk about a Writer, who so creatively spins stories, it always leaves me gobsmacked.
I have been a lifelong reader and every book I read, leaves me so awestruck. The words that fall into place and weave such magical tales, is mind blowing. How do the writers come up with new stories each time that manages to grip the readers. Imagine those writers who have written multiple books. How do they manage doing it? How do they write up such brilliant stories? How do their creative juices flow? I always have multiple questions in my mind.

To write a story with a plot, multiple characters, emotions and a masterly story towards finish line. Gift of words is what these artists have in them that makes them weave magic. It is a lonely and relentless pursuit of a journey with every book. But every writer embarks upon this ride with ease and gusto. Kudos to all the writers!

Someday, I hope to be a writer and manage to tell the tales that spin in my head!! Till then, keep reading and keep writing.

One At a Time








              All of us a lot going on. But the beauty is in unraveling it one at a time.We should try to sort it all at once, then we have no clarity about anything that is going on. So here are a few sorters,

1. Take it one at a time
2. Focus on the one that is taken up
3. Patience is virtue and don't lose it
4. Keep calm and carry on
5. If it helps, make a note of all the things that need attention in your life
6. Check as and when one is sorted
7. Talk to friends and family, it always helps
8. Remember, there is always a solution
9. Be persistent 
10. There is always someone up above to guide

Hope is waking dream. Don't lose hope ever!

My First Web Series of 2019






              I am not a huge fan of web series, but a few that come with high recommendation, I do watch it. But this year, I just finished the first web series - 4 MORE SHOTS PLEASE - Season 1. 
4 women - Truck Bar - Their Lives. One cannot miss Milind Soman in this series, though he isn't one of the main characters. 
I enjoyed this series to a certain extent. Was a good watch. 
Now curious to see what happens in Season 2 , because season 1 ends in a cliffhanger for all the characters. 


Even when in Love - Remember The Fab 5





                  Some of us forget the world when we are in love. For those who do, here are a few tips,

1. Don't give up on your friends
2. Never leave hobbies
3. Keep your family close
4. Don't forget yourself
5. Love yourself

It so happens that when in love, we tend to focus on the person so much , that everything else takes a back seat. 

Next time, while you feel things are slipping away, remember - it is time to remember the fab 5 points.
