I find India really fascinating sometimes, even though Ive lived my whole life here. What the cultural multitudes and colorful festivals hide underneath is an ugly facade which threatens to break everything that has been built over the years. What I find most fascinating is how weve conditioned ourselves to ignore the blatant reality and move ahead with an oblivious calm, living in shit and aspiring for the gold....</p>

I have had a very curious relationship with religion, although now that I talk to others, it was a much more normal experience than what I led myself to believe. I followed the typical path of receiving a particular religion from my parents (born a “Hindu child”), which had a supporting role in my life up until my late-teenage/early-adolescent years.
As is the norm for every child brought up in religion, I used to consider myself special believing that I had a “personal relationship” with God....</p>

Over the years, I have increasingly gravitated towards films where supposedly “nothing happens”. Characters talk, no attempt is made to instill a moral point into the minds of the audience, which is usually accompanied with long, patient shots of people existing in their environments. This was an excellent specimen of the same dish.
I had watched Once Upon a Time in Anatolia from the same director previously and much like films by Wes Anderson, I could immediately tell this was Ceylans film right from the start, although these two directors could not be any more different....</p>

A slow, methodical display of patience and absurdity juxtaposed on the vast landscape, this film has something else going for it. When you read the synopsis or look at the posters, you expect a certain police procedural drama - the kind of which youve been accustomed to till date. What you get is a completely different take on the trope....</p>

Motorcycling community is laden with fist-pumping-muscle-bulging-neckbeardy-speed-ninjas-Harley-fans, and it usually gets a bad rap all across the world. Gaurav Jani is none of these things. His passion and humility and curious nature reminded me why I loved biking in the first place. This is a must-watch for anyone fascinated with two wheels and the places they enable you to visit.</p>

I had picked up this one thinking it to be an autobiography, and with an expectation that itll cover Rajans tussles with the government in more details. I was pleasantly surprised to find instead a good collection of technical essays covering the workings of RBI, and economics in general.

There are films which you wish you had watched earlier in life, and there are others which dont make sense until you have had your fair share of world experiences. Waking Life falls in the former category.
The college sophomore me would have been really excited about discussing vague notions of self and freedom and free will and morality and dreams - and dont get me wrong, mid-twenties me is equally as excited about these things as my former self, if not more so - but the problem lies in the superficiality of it all....</p>

Reading fiction has always been a double-edged sword for me. Some of the most intimate moments Ive spent alone is while reading fictional stories, while at the same time, feeling a pang of disappointment for myself because I wasnt doing anything “productive.” Is this mere entertainment? Am I just escaping my real-life responsibilities and reading stories of make-believe? While I still havent found sincere answers to these questions, Ive grown more confident of what I enjoy and what I dont, which has consequently helped me find peace with this conflict....</p>
