What to Wear! #WriteAPageADay

By
It's a cosy morning. I take a sip of coffee and stand on the balcony, watching the starlings and squirrels chirping and playing outside. This small yet significant routine is the best part of my mornings. But sadly it's very brief, as I have to rush to the office now. 


I  quickly take a shower. I have to reach the office on time for the board meeting. I plan to wear the pinstripe suit set that gives me the Powergirl look. But hey, what's wrong with the wardrobe. I try opening it many times, but the door is stuck and wont open. And I have just 10 minutes left to get ready. I don't want to be late for the meeting. Oh God, what to do, what will I wear now! 

I sit at the corner of my bed, trying to find a solution. I know websites offering clothes for rent, but it's too late for that. It will take at least an hour if I call a locksmith. So, what to wear now! Suddenly, I see my reflection in the mirror. My pinstriped night suit! I examine myself, ideating to camouflage this nightwear to a suitable officewear. 

Eureka! A brilliant idea clicks like a flash of light in my head. Thank God I keep my belts hung outside the wardrobe, behind the door. I find a narrow brown belt that perfectly matches the cream-beige colour coding of my night suit. I tug my shirt inside the pyjamas and wear the belt around the west, skilfully hiding the unpleasant elastic knot. Man, I should have been a world-class stylist. I wear my brown pumps, put on my lipstick and steal the bottle of my favourite CK Be from my husband's drawer to spray.



Although I feel nervous, I bring out the confidence to carry what I assembled so carefully. I look into my reflection in the elevator; so what if it's not a pinstripe suit? It's a pinstripe night suit, and I rock it like a star.

Mushy Mushrooms, Mini Macaroons & 5 Whodunnit Murder Mysteries to Watch on My Breakfast Plate

By

As the mother of a fourth-grade student, my mornings start at 5:30 a.m. daily. Making breakfast and setting up lunchboxes keep me occupied during those hours and since I like to keep it simple for breakfasts, they generally get quite boring, with either bread toasts or chapattis. (common story of a lot of moms). Sometimes our wishes can go to an extravaganza and the longing for a due break with a lavish breakfast consisting of some creamy- buttery mushy mushrooms sprinkled with roasted garlic, some berry-flavoured mini macaroons and to top it all a thrilling, chilling old-fashioned Whodunnit Murder Mystery Movie playing on TV just makes things perfect. Sounds like quite a plateful right? Since we have already made a grand plan of how my breakfast plate is going to look, let's narrow down the list of Murder Mystery movies that can be included in my watchlist. 1. Knives Out (2019): Imagine digging your fork into a plateful of yummy creamy mushrooms, tuning into Daniel...

Top 5 Films Based on Communal/Civil Wars and Internal Feuds

A couple of days back I watched a film, only to get a headache and I forgot its name too. But still, I watched it, some people won't change. Will they? Like nations in continuous wars and internal feuds -God knows what they get out of it. War has not done good for anyone ever. While their purpose is best known to them, my purpose as a cinema lover is to create a list of films that cover topics of Communal/Civil war and internal feuds:   1. The Killing Fields: I had no idea about the history of Cambodia, till I watched this 1984 film, during my mid-twenties. A nation that was absolutely devastated as a result of the killing of thousands of its citizens under the bloodthirsty Khmer Rouge reign - Killing Fields covered this history through the pen of a New York Times journalist and his Cambodian associate. The movie is difficult to watch due to the depiction of the horrid nature of the brutality that innocent people had to go through. Pran, the Cambodian journalist had to endeav...

5 Dumb Movies that are Secretly Clever

I have always avoided films like "Drunken Master" and other movies that begin and end with a fight. The same goes for mindless action films too. However, there are a few movies that I have watched that may seem incredibly foolish and dumb but if you manage to watch those you will realise they are quite clever. So, here is my list of 5 Dumb Movies that are Secretly Clever. 1. Tucker and Dale vs. Evil: When 2 worthless friends go for a vacation, their adventures turn into a disastrous misadventure and a massacre due to misunderstandings and unfortunate turn of events. This movie is gory, bloody and yet stupidly hilarious. The execution style is of a slapstick comedy with the chills and thrills of a gory slasher, making it a unique dark comedy. How some people's false assumptions about 2 people turn into a nightmare for both parties is the main story behind this goofy massacre. 2. One Cut of the Dead: In the beginning this film looks like a low-budget mindless zombie flick, ...
