A Visit to Paradox Museum, Mumbai

By

I have been planning this trip for many months but have not been able to go until now. My daughter was equally excited about the visit. With the new academic year starting next week, this weekend seemed the perfect time to enjoy a day at the Paradox Museum in Mumbai.


So, off we went today! We had to book our tickets online, which cost Rs. 500 per person, including taxes. I selected the 12 PM time slot, and we received green badges for entry upon arrival. 


 


Once inside, we were greeted by a checkered room and various fascinating installations, including a kaleidoscope. The museum features a height illusion room, a mirror room, and numerous other illusional activities and puzzles. Plenty of assistance was available, and the staff was helpful, kind, and ready to assist us. I was particularly pleased to see their patience with the children, who made up most of the visitors.



The other attractions included the Shadow Freeze Room, the Mirror Illusion Room, the Infinity Tunnel, and several photo booths. We spent an enjoyable hour at the venue. My daughter and I were really happy, and she fully enjoyed every moment. There was also the Anti-Gravity Room, but she felt too scared to try it.

The Paradox Cafe is located downstairs, just past the entrance. While the food is somewhat pricey, it is very delicious, and the seating arrangements are cozy. Overall, the Paradox Museum offers a great experience for both adults and children. A short visit will surely bring smiles to the faces of young visitors. The museum's operational hours are from 11 AM to 8 PM.

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...

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, ...
