Disha

#UnpopularOpinion :- TL;DR: The Hyderabad Encounter does not solve the problem. 1. According to common man’s perspective, justice has been delivered to Disha. Those who do not behave like humans do not deserve any human-like behavior. People, wanted instant justice which has been delivered by Cyberabad Police. But, IMO, Police can only nab the culprits. They can't deliver justice by executing extra-judicial killings. Mob-justice can never be the solution. Personally, I didn't feel good when I heard in the morning that the four were killed in an encounter. Would this mob justice stop future crimes? 2. Everyone is hailing the police chief as a hero now. But, had the Police been so much concerned about delivering justice, why they claimed that the girl must have eloped with someone and refused to file the complaint citing “area out of jurisdiction” when her sister approached them within half an hour of her last call. The place is less than 10 minutes from the station, though. All ...

Dear SSR, we miss you!

It was 2013. I was reading Femina in the college library because the cover featured 3 of my favorite actors. I still remember the magazine cover clearly. All dressed up in denims, sitting on the car hood- Aditya Roy Kapoor, the handsome man, Arjun Kapoor, for some strange reason, I liked him then, and Sushant Singh Rajput, the one with the best smile. Yes, the cheerful smile.  A few years later, I happened to follow him on Instagram. I don't follow many Bollywood celebs but his feed was different.

I waited so eagerly for the release of Sonchiriya. Look at the cast, who won't be? It received very nice reviews. Sadly, it was shown on too few scre...

Boycott China?

(Source: Facebook/HEROES IN UNIFORM) Imagine, dying at 22. Only the first posting. Leaving behind grieving parents, little kids. Gone too soon, no? If you still continue to fuel Chinese economy, you're indirectly responsible for these supreme sacrifices, colonization of poor countries, lack of entrepreneurial culture in our nation, and much more you don't have any idea of. All you need to do is MAKE A CONSCIOUS CHOICE. And, it's not even that difficult. Buy an Asus, not RealMe. Use Dubsmash, not TikTok. And with those serious privacy issues, why does one even want to keep such apps on their phone? Try to adopt swadeshi culture- healthier, environment friendly, pocket friendly. Just support local. And don't be so stupid to smash your TV sets now. It only degrades environment, nothing more. People are dying for you, can you do little in return? If suicide of an actor can fuel discussion on mental health and nepotism, these soldiers' sacrifices shouldn...
