For a long time we kept quite, Then came the time of upheaval and mental riots, Now they say "Feminism?- its talked too much about, Let's take something different, something that's not boring!" Woman, her needs, her wants and her life is not just a topic for entertainment that gets "boring" with a period of time! Its a basic human right to raise voice against anything that's oppressing, demeaning and not treated with dignity! Body shaming, character assassination, catcalls and what not! Being a woman isn't easy, or does the world make it sound like that? From strangers to the boy you sit with in the class don't know who's gonna caress your butt at any cost. But if you scream or complain, "Its all your fault"! Enough is enough!! #NOTALLMEN, I agree! but why do all women have a terrible story to tell? Her Husband beating her up black and blue, her guy-friend invading the space of hers, Rapes and acid-attacks, death threats to forced s

Mouna Ragam: A movie that you shouldn't miss watching! A key to suppress the Quarantine boredom. An Illustration by PR Gayathri Movies twirl the ocean of emotions in us, don't they? A great movie definitely makes our day and one such movie is Mouna Ragam - a timeless piece of magic by Mani Ratnam . This 1986 Tamil classic tale is one of kind and I will tell you why! Days when movies mostly spoke only the male's perspective, days when women protagonists' major role was the disciplined homely girl or shy girlfriend who appears only when a sudden song burst out of nowhere in the mountains of the north, where he is in his full suit-coat and she is in her undergarments dancing like diva only to vanish after that! I used to wonder what was her role in the whole movie? Why is she playing such a dumb character?

Waking up to Jennifer Aniston's post on Instagram stating " It's happening" I jumped in inexplicable joy! ' Could I BE anymore happier!!' A reunion is all that I wanted for years. A reunion is all that we wanted for years. Right? A 1994 magic of 10 seasons that still hasn't lost its spell on making us genuinely laugh our lungs out making us fall in love with each of the characters to the fullest is coming back! I have been binge-watching the series, again and again, now that I have lost count on how many times I have gasped, each time like the very first when Ross said: "I, Ross, take thee, Rachel", breaking Emiley's heart! Be it Chandler's touches of sarcasm, Joey's love for food, Monica's perfection and tidiness, Phoebe's iconic songs,  Rachel's eye for fashion, Ross being the divorce force or the lover of elderly or even better the Mother kisser 🤣!

Well, I am pretty sure we all have one. Few of us have discovered ours and few of us yet to kindle our self! For a long time, I had a confusion understanding the difference between what a passion and a hobby is! 'Passion is different from your hobbies.
