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.

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...
