I am a budding journalist with a keen eye on the goings on of the world and a professional foodie, if that makes any sense. I have a slight interest in photography by dabbling in it and also would like to make the world a better place through the written word.

A taut recounting of the brutal attacks: Hotel Mumbai, a review

-

 I'm not usually one for movies that showcase dramatized versions of real events, but boy howdy did this movie change my mind. I'm sure you all are quite aware of the dastardly and heinous attacks that took place in November of 2008. That fateful few days had with it a pall of gloom and utter darkness on everyone's heads. For the first time in probably a very long time, we Indians stood by in solidarity and unity. Mumbai was set ablaze but ultimately only the strength of the humans spirit triumphed. This movie captures the horrors of the terror attacks that took place in the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel specifically and how. It has it all. There are subtle undertones of suspense coupled with the palpable tension, owing to the plot and the sensitive subject matter, there is joy, there is heart and most importantly the showcasing of the collective sadness and broken souls who didn't just stand by and do nothing, they fought despite having all the odds stacked against them.The d...

Why your mental health is so important during quarantine?

I personally feel that inside the hallowed halls of my home, I am smothered by a lot of unresolved emotions that I can't quite put a finger on. Apart from doing chores and running errands, you eventually run out of things to do during this lock-down. But it is pivotal that I maintain some equilibrium in terms of my mental faculties as they have to be channeled whilst writing future exams(sigh). I know that the impending virus as well as the quarantine has seeped everyone's mental quotient but hang in there. This is but a phase and after that we see the bright light at the end of the tunnel. Look at it this way and I don...

What does being an Indian actually mean?

-
Lets face it people, being a hardcore Indian with patriotism and jingoism coursing through our veins is hard enough with the current political climate and whatnot. But a promise land like India with its vast potential, undulating and robust workforce will do wonders in the coming years. With the surge of the pandemic making it almost unbearable to watch a strong economy like ours collapse on its knees and capsize to nothing, the following days, weeks and even years will act as a woeful and hearkening reality to what's about to come. Despite being reared for  most of my childhood in the gulf, can I forget my homeland? 73 years after the course-changing Independence and here I find myself, back to square one wondering about the contributions of countless Indians in all forms of academia,sports etc with my chest swollen with pride. Plotting the future of India is going to be a bit bleak and uncertain(thanks to the Covid19) but what has being an Indian made me out to be? Just sit ba...
