Top 5 Best Holiday-Themed books to read this Winter Break~

Image
Finally! We are in the holiday season. Thank God, we are finally getting the time to post blogs again. Holidays, what a magical time! I mean everybody has to admit it, some people may not like the festivities of it all but we get to chill on our couches 24 hours long and cuddle up to our favorite books. What is cooler than that? Seriously, having a hot cup of chocolate milk and enjoying cheesy holiday books is more relaxing than a day at the spa! But not everybody knows what books are worth reading. So here we are, helping you out with that exact issue. I guess you could call us the Santa who is bringing you the most valuable gift of all, a good book rec list. Now, let’s dive right in. 1.  Little Women Ah! This here is a classic. I’ve already expressed my love for this amazing book in our previous  blog . It has all the elements which constitutes a good Christmas read. Sisterhood, coming-of-age trope and just a little bit of romance, this book has it all. It is also one of the...

Stress and how it has become integrated into the lives of Indian students~

Stress and how it has become integrated into the lives of Indian students Stress. We as Indian students have been experiencing this since forever. Most likely from the moment we are born! Parents and the society around us expect us to have a clear vision of what we want and be insanely determined to achieve it but most of the time we don’t know what the hell we are doing so we just see where life takes us. If only it were that simple. Even if we are moving at a calm pace, society forces us to worry about the future. Especially in a competitive environment like India, stress can tend to run high amongst students studying in high school. We are always told this dialogue, “Just study for these three years, your life will be set”. Literally everyone knows that’s not true. After passing you have to write many competitive tests and you have to struggle in college too. Every time those damn topper lists come out; my BP shoots up like it is a rocket lit during Diwali. These are just a few reas...

Why you should watch documentaries, Even if you hate them~

Reasons Why You Should Watch Documentaries, Even If You Hate Them Documentaries? Isn’t that kinda boring and just a factual description of something that happened way back? No thanks, my history textbook is punishment enough. If I had a penny for every time, I’ve heard this on the internet, I would be a millionaire. I’m here to break all these stupid stereotypes about documentaries. Netizens say that documentaries are only for nerds, but aren’t we all nerds in our own way? I mean there are true crime nerds (like me), tech nerds, mystery nerds… you get what I’m saying? Not everybody who watches documentaries are nerds, some people like watching murder (and that’s some cool shit bro). Not all documentaries are about some prehistoric event that is no longer relevant. Netflix releases documentaries every other day and they are all in line with the trends. And like I said documentaries are for everybody so it comes in every genre. I’m going to be talking about the top 3 genres in it and giv...

Chess - Our Culture, Our Pride~

Image
In honour of the 44 th chess Olympiad [Also today’s leave :)], I’ve decided to explore the most intelligent, strategic and clever game ever invented- Chess. A game I’ve never been able to grasp because I’m dumb. But I certainly do enjoy the vigour of chess competitions. Tensions run high and you are left looking out for each move every player makes. You have to watch the competitor’s every move like a hawk. Because if you fail to notice that one game-changing move you will lose the whole game. So yes, it is a very high-stakes game. Chess is like every Indian’s bragging right. You think you know real wrath? Try saying “Chess is not an Indian game” to an Indian. (Dangerous stunts are not to be tried at home). Chess fever has gripped India especially Chennai. We all know that chess is the pride of India but how is India intertwined with the history of chess? Let’s find out. History and Evolution of Chess There have been many disputes on the origin of chess but the one thing we can all co...

Vikram – The Indian MCU We Were Waiting For? Ahhh! Yes. Vikram! Now, this is a blog I’ve been looking forward to writing since I watched this masterpiece of a film. Honestly, I was blown away. I must admit, I walked into the theatre expecting a mediocre action film where guns did most of the storytelling. But what I got was so much more than that. Emotional storylines, mysteries, societal messages and twist and turns that left you hanging on to your seats. This film had it all. Me and my mom couldn’t take away our eyes from the screen even once. I’m sorry if you came into this blog expecting criticisms or in-depth analyzations. This just going to be a blog about this girl raving on and on about this awesome film. Hindustan times says that Vikram is the highest grossing film in Tamil Nadu surpassing the behemoth, Bahubali 2 itself. If you haven’t watched the movie, you may ask what is all this rave about? Why should I watch this movie?  Come on, let’s look at some reasons why this L...
