The Crisis of Anomie

Some time has passed after the released of the movie named Anomie which had Bhavana and Rahman in the main roles, investigating a case as a forensic expert and a police officer respectively. The emotional touch that goes through both of them are both personal and professional with a trauma from the past. As one …

A Harrisburg Entry

Harrisburg is where made the entry to the United States of America through Washington DC – Baltimore airport would have surely been closer, but neither that one nor Harrisburg had the right flights for us. This journey from the airport led us through Emmitsburg in Maryland, which is home to the National Shrine Grotto of …

Layover via Dubai Connect

We had one of our longest trips to USA this year with a twelve-hour layover in Dubai. It felt almost cancelled due to the Iran War, but we managed to go through it, despite the missile alert received on our mobile phones just when we arrived – the same was so well and effectively handled …

Hope is a Thing with Injuries

I remember having heard that hope is something that has wings and can rise above everything else. Emily Dickinson had once said that it had feathers, and would never stop singing, even during the most difficult times. People say that hope is important because it provides the strength to continue when facing big trouble, and …

Pit of Agonizing Pain

We are all in that painful part of life, where there is no hope. We will always be so, as there is nothing positive for us who live in this meaningless world where meaning is mad by money and power. Whatever evil we witness, we are not strong enough to rise against the same, and …

Chennai Super Trips

The trips to Chennai never get old. It is my most visited city outside Kerala other than Kolkata and Coimbatore, and thus the most visited city of Tamil Nadu with a beach. I remember going to Chennai so many times, but each time, many destinations had changed, but Marina Beach with a combination of Fort …

UNESCO Heritage & More

This would be about my second visit to Mahabalipuram and our first visit together to the location after marriage. Our journey to Chennai had its own troubles with delayed flights, but this one with a taxi to the place was totally worth the time. During my last visit, I had combined this journey with a …

How Close is Death?

One can only keep wondering how close death can get to us. There is not much of a distance between life and death while facing a world of chaos. Within this chaos that has embraced our world, there is an advantage for death above life, which is why we are often inclined to call him …

A Billion Reasons to End

I had once thought that there were a thousand reasons for one thing, that end which would follow the hopeless existence. We have kept hearing that death is only the beginning, and thus end had to be the same, as beginning and end would come together. The real progress in life should be about how …

Vagamon: Together this Time

There is no forgetting the fact that I have visited Vagamon so many times, the last time being only less than two years ago, with a stay at Kuttikkanam. The one true hill station of Kerala might still be Munnar, with its development as a world class destination with a connection to Thekkady which serves …

Unreality: From Tombs to Planets

I have written something about Unreal Tournament all the time on this blog, but never something purely about the game, and it seems that this is the chance for the same. It is almost impossible to talk about the game in an intellectual manner, as it is not something of the brain, but that of …

Lanka: Colombo’s Serenity

It was in the year 2010 that I had last visited Sri Lanka, and in that connection flight to Chennai and Colombo that there was the lucky escape in the Kingfisher airlines plane due to fire being detected in the loaded cargo. That had become big news then, but we do not really see those …

Of Absurd Life and Education

One just cannot keep wondering about the absurdity continuing for such a long time, and it makes one wonder how long it can be extended. The human existence has been painful, and it remains so, without any arguments against it. One can be persuaded by the motivational speakers that there is more to it, but …

Dreaming Snowfall Mode

We have been waiting for another trip to any place on Himalayas, and this time we made the choice to travel to Sikkim, and Gangtok became the destination after Darjeeling, even though both could have been nicely merged last time. Maybe, it is for the best because the last visit to North Bengal was done …

The English Memories

Pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in English is a journey into the world of literature, language, and communication, but a triple main course means you add journalism to it. Beyond the deep understanding of literary texts, critical theory, linguistics and writing skills, there was always the world of mass communication open in that particular course, …

Influence of Inferno

We have always believed in hell on Earth, and it has kept coming true every time. Earth has always had its biggest moments of chaos and despair, and the same has varied for different people, but its existence could never be questioned. Natural disasters, war zones, personal traumas or psychological stress could create such situations, …

The Strange Side of Empuraan

There is no doubt about the fact that the second part of Lucifer in the form of Empuraan is of a higher level in making. There is a lot of style and quality in what can be seen on the screen, and watching the same on the big screen means something special, and worth the …

Success and Goodness

Can success and goodness happen together? Can good people ever be successful? These might be the questions suitable for a debate, but one might rarely choose them to be the right questions because the world does not need good people anymore, as just being successful is enough. So, can they be together as one? We …

Chaos and Destruction

In a world of evil, there is no real need to prevent chaos and destruction, as the damnation, the curse that has come across millions of us has thrived. There is nothing that the world can bring us as long as the damnation runs upon us. The evil will always descend upon us, and humans …

Escape from Misery

There has always been the need to escape from the misery which has been life. You keep working like you have no life, and you have no time to spend with your family. You have no social life, and you keep getting sick. This will be what you get after being educated. If you are …
