The Respite
It was hot, and the sweltering heat was taking its toll. When I picked up my son from school, the heat peaked right there and the dashboard on my car flashed 40 degrees – that’s when all that heat made sense – in a bad, sweaty way, though. Then, this happened. Waters came crashing down,Continue reading “The Respite”
Binge Watch – Candid Reviews
I watched some interesting shows and movies in the last 3 months, some of them were special compared to a few. Here is the account of it in a more summarised fashion – though couple them deserve a dedicated piece on it. Not in any particular order but the ones preceding the others obviously madeContinue reading “Binge Watch – Candid Reviews”

Had fate intervened then (which I now believe was quite possible), the script could have been totally different. The veryContinue reading “Shocking!”
The Perfect Shot
It almost looks like a painters’s canvas, describing the ethos of darkness in a stunning combination of vividness and silence. Shot @ Edinburgh, Scotland, 2022.
Cinematic Gems ~ Lifeoholic Diaries ~ 3.3.25
******** ###The Girl with the Needle### an msk REVIEW. A film that so audaciously depicts disaster in a parallel tone of positivity and evil – will leave you stunned, shunned and in awe. The way characters make a living out of misery, contempt, disguise and failure is a testament to the director’s vision that hasContinue reading “Cinematic Gems ~ Lifeoholic Diaries ~ 3.3.25”
