watched a movie

By Rini -

 

I saw this movie yesterday, it’s called “gaami” and it was the most beautiful dystopian Telugu movie I have ever seen. This kind of dystopia, I think, is the first time in Telugu films. I loved it so much. I'm not one to watch movies or even write about one and if this movie got me reviewing it, you should understand it’s kind of a big deal to me. And to the movie too lol.

 

Sto-rini- 20

 

It all started when I first watched ted-ed’s video " Why should you read "The Handmaid's Tale"? - Naomi R. Mercer " and I was like “hmmm, tell me why? ?” I clicked on the video and it was the best video I’ve seen all day. It was 12 am, I searched on Google, “handmaid’s tale pdf free download”, and I clicked on the first reasonable link I saw and quickly switched off my wifi connection and made myself comfortable. Meaning I put my books away. I clicked on the pdf in my downloads folder and lo and behold my journey began. I was so excited the whole time, like waiting to wake up in the morning to eat chocos and milk! I scrolled and to my surprise, it a graphic novel! I quickly went to search if it was the real one. It was. And my train to dystopia has been boarded by me. choo chooo

 

The whole time, I was so attentive and excited, anxious, scared and and stressed. The graphic novel did a veryyy good job on picturing the novel. I loved it so much. It was at that moment, I knew I loved graphic novels. I mean I have always loved comics. Technically, they’re graphic novels too.

 

Those two hours I spent reading the 247 pages of dystopia haunted me for a couple of days. And I loved it. When the haunting finally wore off, I wanted to read another. Just days before I was asking chatgpt this: “recommend some dystopian graphic novels”. Well the suggestions needed my wallet and I was not really that over the moon to spend money to scare myself (I hate horror movies). I was really disappointed.

 

Like a miracle, a friend told me they watched a movie. Curious George asked the name and quickly fell in love with the small summary of the movie they give in Google. The movie was none other than Gaami. Yesterday, my friend told me sh was going to a movie with her family and I got so jealous. “even I want to go to a movie >:(“ as soon as I went home I screamed “LETS GO TO A MOVIEEEE” my parents were really surprised because I don’t watch movies, like at all. It’s a once in a blue moon kind of thing. They immediately agreed. I immmmmmediately booked the tickets and in an hour I find myself in the theatre.

                                                                                            

See, I have adhd (undiagnosed). I take breaks while writing my blog-posts (except poems). So I really can’t watch a 147min movie in a sitting. So glad for the intermission in the middle, even though the movie wasn’t designed that way. (They literally paused the video so I can go get my nachos).

 

 

I was on the edge of my seat for most of the movie. At the end with 20 minutes left, I was sitting there like 🙆‍♀️😨 .

The twist was truly amazing. Sometimes it’s not just about the twist but the way they reveal it, that’s what truly matters. And as I said and keep saying, the movie was amazing. It truly satisfied my dystopian content craving. The odds are crazy, like one day im searching and the next day it’s near my doorstep?? Love it so much Omg. the visuals were innnnnsane. i found myself blinking many times of the movie in wishes to capture the moment like i said in my recent post  "re-remembered".

 

Love loveeee the movie, I truly recommend it.

 

 

Thank you for coming to my ted-talk. Thank you and I love you

new girl

  Sto-rini- 14 It was back in 2019; I was studying 9th. The academic year had just begun and we were all breathing the air of relief because of the 8th class storm. We had public exams in 8th, our first exposure to outside correction and the new type of stress due to pressure.   9th class was our step to freedom after the battle. As storm passed, calmness spread. Little did I know, it was the sign for yet another storm that was to come, but this time it was coming for me.   "A new student has joined in 9th A", announced my class teacher, we got excited. I still remember that day, crystal clear. She waddled in, shy and sat behind me. On her first day, we swarmed around her introducing ourselves. I remember my first words to her, "Nice to meet you. My name is Rini".   We shook hands. It wasn't firm, she was rather weak. She was slim. Not too thin, not too fat. Just the right type. She had a fair complexion, clear skin, thick hair, smooth hands, beautif...

her and him

By Rini -
He is always saying that they have nothing in common but she, a sitcom addict, says that’s where magic happens.   Trail of thoughts- 23 When people are different, there is space between their hearts. One can say that their love for each other and them as a whole is common enough. But she says that the bridge that connects their soul is built by them with their own minds and hands. “If we have nothing in common, so be it. We can do or create hobbies that both of us can enjoy doing together”.   Maybe just love is enough, but are you sure?   He loves watching movies and series. He loves re-watching his favourites. She passes her time watching 20 minute recap of famous movies. She thinks movies today are lengthy without a story.   So, he made it his life’s mission to narrate her movies he watched, re-watched and loved so far. That works for both of them.   She loves writing. She writes poetry and sometimes stories. When she asks him to read th...

rubber hands

By Rini -
  My eyes feel heavy, I can’t feel my body. I feel like I’m dying. I woke up not knowing how I even fell asleep. Was it even sleep I have woken up from? But first, why does my whole body ache like crazy? I can’t even open my fucking eyes. With all my might, I open them slightly. First thing I see is red coloured sand. Just sand everywhere, red precisely. Red mountains, red sky, red sandstorms, red ground, and red …… liquid? Is that blood? Am I bleeding?? I feel a metallic taste in my mouth. It is blood. I try lifting my hands and they’re painted bright red. I have been hurt badly. Don’t know how, don’t know when, and don’t know why.   Wait, why don’t I remember why or how? I don’t remember anything. Why is that? I go deep into my thoughts and suddenly a memory snaps. A car accident. There was a car accident. Trying to remember more things despite the severe headache and huge blood loss, I remember one more thing. I was with my boyfriend, Siddharth, in the very car that was in ...

what's the worst thing that could happen?

By Rini -
  When people say “what’s the worst thing that can happen” before doing the most diabolical stunt in their life, my mind just wanders in the grey area of life. Trail Of Thoughts - 34 Let me explain. When I started this blog, my first thought was “Omg lezgoo ahhh” and second was, “what’s the worst possibility”. The answer to that question was “no one would read it lol”. That initially gave me a boost to posting anything I want and I still equip that in the back of my mind before I click on ‘publish’.  Today, I realized I wasn’t thinking of the worst possible consequence, but rather “a” consequence that could be both a win and a loss for me. I don’t think my mind wrapped around that saying properly. Now that I am older and wiser, I think the worst thing that could happen when blogging is the following: This might end up on some wrong person’s feed somehow; they read it and interpret it in the wrong way. And not stop there. He (suppose) not only hates it but makes it his whole pu...

one must imagine Sisyphus happy

By Rini -
  I just spent the last hour learning about Sisyphus, a myth, and  Albert Camus , a famous French philosopher. Camus said, “One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” So what is all this, who is Sisyphus, why must we imagine him happy, why did Camus say that? (And what am I yapping)   Trail Of Thoughts - 33 Sisyphus is a Greek mythology story. The shorter version is that he was an extremely overconfident and arrogant king, basically hubristic. He cheated on death twice and the Gods got mad at him and gave him a punishment. The punishment was for him to push a boulder, a giant rock, to the top of a steep hill and just when he would reach the top, the Gods would make the boulder slide down making Sisyphus start all over again. This was to last an eternity. For AN ETERNITY, this guy should push a giant rock up a hill just for it to fall again and again and again.   So why did Albert Camus say that one must imagine Sisyphus happy? Why must one imagine a never-ending pun...
