Sep 1Carrie Bradshaw continues to infuriateI’ve been *hate* binge-watching the Sex And The City multiverse for years now. You might wonder why would I self-inflict that harm and if I’m passive-suicidal. However, truth be told, it wasn’t always the case.

I believe it to be the case cause Twitter is the second-best source to gather information, news, and knowledge (second only to Wikipedia).

May 6, 2022Thar, on Netflix, is in a league of its ownThar, on Netflix, is not your usual Bombay film. For one, it does not subscribe to the standard stupidity of having an item number with the end credits rolling out on your screen. It takes guts for filmmakers today to walk past that cursory banger that is bound to play…Thar7 min readThar7 min read
Apr 19, 2022Why do you hate the Kardashians?I get a lot of raised eyebrows each time I share any Kardashian-related information. For the most part, people don’t associate a triple degree holder, one foot firmly in academia scholar with the KarJenners in seriousness.
