Pick-Up Lines Don't Work Anymore
Temperatures have already reached 53 in Delhi and 48 in my own city. It has come to a point that even the pick-up lines like “Ah, it’s so hot today… because of you“ has become invalid, because no human being should be held responsible for this terrible heat. I hope June doesn’t kill us.

📖 Book of the Week
Wise and Otherwise is a short book filled with 2-3 pages long chapters about the experiences of Sudha Murthy. It’s not an Autobiography but also it is an exciting format for an Autobiography. The book is filled with short snippets of experiences about her life that slowly makes me think about how she is as a person, and I never had a chance to read a book from this perspective. It’s a short good read. 7.2/10.
✅ How Many Boxes Can You Fill?
These boxes are created and named by society. These boxes can be anything, starting from how an “artist” or a “writer” looks like, to what a “successful person does” - and we always try to fit in those boxes like it’s an convenient thing, face no other possibilities or no other side of us. Yet, if you live to define yourself in one of these boxes, it is a limitation. Great minds who have lived before us have always lived outside boxes, but of course the beauty of their creative minds couldn’t be comprehended by the society. So, they created boxes of what little they could understand from their lifestyle and those have been taught to us. We have only been taught the things the society can comprehend and to live in a way that they can define us in that box with.
If you live to enjoy the journey, my friend, these boxes would be ticked automatically. We don’t have to focus on these boxes, afterall, these boxes were created by society to trap and define us. Focus on the journey, society will always but a box on us, weather a good one or a bad one.
🎙️ New Podcast Episode!
Funny thing is, I actually sent this as a Voice Message to a friend. It turned out so good that I just uploaded it to Spotify!
The episode is called why your EGO can’t be killed, because apparently we use that word in a wrong sense.
🎬 Movie of the week
The Movie for this week is Laapataa Ladies. The movie is 9.5/10 and I’ll consider it as the best movie of 2023. The protagonist marries a young girl and while returning to their home on a train, there are 3 just-married couples in the same compartment. All the 3 new-wives are dressed in the exact same attire with a dupatta covering their faces.
When reaching the station at night, the protagonist leaves with another man’s wife unknowingly. And he doesn’t know his mistake until they reach home.
There are 2 mysteries here. First, where is his wife? Is she is the station? Did she get off somewhere else? And second, why did this this woman not say anything about the mistake he made UNTIL AFTER they reached home?
