When Serendipity Knocked

Sometimes, life surprises you in the most unexpected ways. It throws a name, a moment, or a person into your path that changes everything. For me, that moment came when I met her tiny, bold, with short hair framing a face that held more strength and beauty than I thought possible. She’s the kind of person you don’t forget. Fierce yet kind, strong yet tender, she carries herself with a quiet grace that draws you in. Every conversation with her feels like uncovering a new layer of the world. She challenges me, grounds me, and somehow, without even trying, makes me want to be the best version of myself. What amazes me most is how effortlessly she understands me. In a world where connection often feels fleeting or shallow, she gets me in a way no one else has. It's not just the big things; it's the little things, the way she listens, the way she shares her thoughts, the way she's unapologetically herself. Meeting her wasn't just a moment; it was a turning point. She brought...

Slow Knife

In the shadow of shared laughter, there used to be a yellow flower,  but lines were blurred, boundaries crossed,  trust was shattered, a bond lost. Each betrayal, a wound so deep,  Yet still, memories haunt my sleep.  closest one's hurt the most they say, and you my little one have proved it again. A slow knife cuts the deepest they say, never thought I too would get it one day. Your lies were always so so good,  know you are the reason it's come to an end. And all that peace & harmony,  I built for years,  Is gone now and left me in tears I fought, I tried, but had to part.

Or find solace in a home unknown?  I wonder often, in the silent night, If you've found your own guiding light. Though scars remain, aching yet,  I wish you peace, without regret. For in the echo of what we once had,...

My First Time at PIFF: Living the Movie Dream

  Going to the Pune International Film Festival (PIFF24) was like a big movie celebration for me. I really love movies, and this festival became a special place where I found the happiness of storytelling and rediscovering my love for cinemas. PIFF is all about creating a lively movie culture in Pune, and it lived up to its vision by providing a platform for global cinema enthusiasts like myself. The theme of the year, "Cinema is Hope," resonated deeply with my belief in the transformative power of storytelling in a world filled with ups and downs, making me believe again in the power of stories to make me feel better, especially when life gets tough. Two movies, "Perfect Days" and "Art College 1994," stood out for me during the festival. Wim Wenders' "Perfect Days" was a masterful exploration of life's subtleties, a recognition of the small details that make existence worthwhile. The film, a sweet and sad slice of life, offered a pro...
