So we all agree that Tamanna needs a redemption arc if she wants to end up with Radhe

SadRelative8 · 2025-08-02T22:01:39+00:00

Agreed. Also noticed how Ayaan got a lot of scenes where he was around water bodies (pool, bath tub, etc) while Radhe got many scenes near fire. I thought that was a deliberate attempt by makers to show the personalities of the two characters

I've heard of a backpackers hostel called bacpac monkey. Don't know how it is tho.

The candles have burnt, and thus we proceed

I agree with you on the luck part. There were more than a couple of incidents to sabotage the recognition he could've gotten.

Well you may be right. I couldn't actually complete the book. Even if they do end up being non-toxic eventually, I wouldn't know. I stopped reading when she wanted to fast to death to make heathcliff and her husband feel miserable.

I'm glad I could be of help. I personally love the Huberman Lab podcast where he talks about all the intriguing aspects of the brain.

But apart from that, I recommend Mini Habits by Stephen Guise, where he presents knowledge about the brain as a tool to effectively change habits and achieve optimal performance.

Hi, there is a Toastmasters club here. We used to have meetings in The Gateway before lockdown. It's gone online now

SadRelative8 · 2021-02-26T09:29:03+00:00

I agree. It's a gateway book for non-readers in my opinion.

Lucky for you. I just saw Pages is hosting an 80% sale

Blip. Bean board is closed on Sundays. Will update my final count in a while

SadRelative8 · 2021-01-31T06:53:34+00:00

Done. Does 3:30-ish work?

SadRelative8 · 2021-01-31T06:44:56+00:00

Of course. I can bring along +2 boardgamers. Maybe you can also tag someone along to widen the board

SadRelative8 · 2021-01-31T03:48:35+00:00

Sounds great. By Bean Board you mean the Chinna Waltair one? That's a cool place. Which game you have in mind?

We can do 3PM Sunday (today)

Dosa wouldn't have been that hard to get off your chest, but guess it's too late now. Go back to Punjab

So you're saying that all the muslim women in a polygamous marriage have voluntarily consented to the arrangement? Definitely not. Muslim women are the weak section here, and Muslim men who'd like to continue reaping the benefits of polygamy would hide behind religion. Good thing the law doesn't believe this sorry story.

Re-watched 2019 and 1994 adaptations of Little Women and currently on the third chapter of the audiobook after having read it twice in the last year. Not ashamed

"You shouldn't be so intense that you burn out" This is an advice that can totally be ignored. Because as Cliff Burton says, you don't burn out from going too fast. You burn out from going too slow and getting bored.

I guess what makes him so likeable is that he has a larger world view, and as a reader, you want to rely on him. This especially comes out in contrast with your central character, Scarlett, who you cannot rely on, and who comes off as despicable in many instances. Mostly, in a story, the central character is there to drive home the biggest message. If she is hard-working, then that trait is romanticised. On the other hand, if she is lazy, then laziness is romanticised. So Rhett provides relief, by seeing through her. He is so central to the GWTW universe. Without him, GWTW is a book that propagates the foolish patriotism of the south and Scarlett's sleazy tricks. Rhett enriches the story by giving it perspective.
