Growing up, the one thing I remembered was that I loved curling on a sofa with a book when the rest of the house was asleep. It didn’t matter that it was in the wee hours of the morning.  That was the time when I could be by myself and plunge into a world made up of words. I used to love young adult novellas but I never lost my love for the classics. 

 I wonder what the future of movies will be.  It’s barely about good stories and great acting skills now, and more about trying to keep a group of people happy. 

  The Fifa World Cup finally comes to an end with Argentina’s grand win.  The tournament which began on 20th November was exciting, thrilling, heartbreaking for the teams that couldn’t make it, and surprising for the teams that made it despite no one believing they could. 

 ' Tis the season to be jolly…and also watch a ton of Christmas movies.   Nothing better than to watch a movie to get into that holiday spirit. Of course, over time, the stories have become formulaic, and the posters cliched. See them for yourselves.   The actor is always wearing green in some form or another.

Plot: A popstar plans an escape to a small town to meet her fan. Once there, she starts to fall for a man that helps her write a Christmas song. Christmas movies are light, heartwarming, and magical. Most times it is formulaic. It's usually the woman who has this big city job who encounters some problem that makes her want to go to a small town. Guess who she meets there? The man of her dreams. Sometimes it is her ex lover, sometimes a widower with a kid who is the first to warm up to the woman.

Finally!  Food prices have dropped. Following the war between Ukraine and Russia, the cost of pretty much everything went up. Fuel prices, produce, cereals, you name it and all of it made our pockets get light in the past few months because of the increase in prices. 

Much awaited show, THE SANDMAN releases today.  This fantasy drama is based on the comics by Neil Gaiman and published by DC Comics. 

 It's the weekend and it is time to finally relax and watch some TV and eat your favorite snacks.  While some shows will take their own sweet time to return on our screens, why not try some other shows in Netflix's never-ending library? ELITE is the one show I decided to take a gamble on when I had run out of things to watch. 

 Imagine being subjected to chemicals without your permission. Imagine being tied up, caged and have unknown things inserted in you. You can scream all you want, no one is going to hear you and those who can, simply don’t care.  It is all for science after all. The tests conducted today, will help generations tomorrow. Science is about advancement after all.
