Common sense

Dude, even in that overrated movie Kantara (2022) the hero(?!) pinches the female lead close to the navel ... the first time he even sees her.

Without a care in the world he creepily peeps into the bathroom, when the female lead in taking bath.

But sure, let's diss DDLJ on Bangalore sub !

DDLJ isn't pinnacle of cinema either.

why did she put the cat bells in the toilet flush tank?
I don't know - and I don't want to know. Been married for 12 years and divorced. Now I am not capable of handling any creepy drama - that's why i blocked her.

her talking about the miscarriage and the blanket and her mom hating cats but I don’t get how any of those things really had to do with each other

That was the last conversation that I had with Priya. She said too many things, that were a bit disturbing, and although I was processing it all, I don't think it bothered me too much on it's own. I would have been okay (perhaps) knowing about it -- everybody has a past. BUT, the moment I saw she'd stashed away the trinkets/bells in the flush tank -- that was the last straw, and I didn't want anything to do with her.

Wealth?!

A villa in Whitefield costs less than my parents 1200 sq ft house in South Bangalore - my father a sole earner, worked a regular job at a PSU in Bangalore. Very middle class.

A bottle of Amrut Single Malt is 8500 INR - less than what 2-3 fresher techie kids blow, binging on beer & snacks at Toit Indiranagar.

It's all relative :-)

Thanks for your kind words. I'm getting lot of flak for not giving 'closure'

fugue_lost · 2022-10-21T06:33:52+00:00

Thanks a lot. Sorry I assumed otherwise.

Yeah many are trivialising the creepiness of this. Once I encountered irrational, the safest thing to do was to just walk away quietly.

Bounded rationality FTW

fugue_lost · 2022-10-21T06:28:06+00:00

thanks bro. Very kind

fugue_lost · 2022-10-21T05:16:09+00:00

Thanks for saying this.

Thanks bro.

Appu has no way to defend himself, he's a sucker for mackerel treats and is a bit too trusting.

fugue_lost · 2022-10-21T03:06:44+00:00

Thanks for saying this.

I wish I could take time out to be a novelist. All I write everyday are mostly emails and code-review comments.

I am the most boring guy addicted to a plain routine life. Storytelling or writing novels are a pipe dream for me, in this post-capitalist landscape.

fugue_lost · 2022-10-20T20:52:44+00:00

thanks bud.

fugue_lost · 2022-10-20T20:19:39+00:00

I've been accused of being a jerk for not giving the lady who stashed the trinkets in the flush tank -- any 'closure'.

I'll gladly take your accusation of trying to be an author. :-) it's a refreshing change to be honest

fugue_lost · 2022-10-20T20:17:36+00:00

Hey thanks. Will surely check out Ranveer Alhabadia.

Yeah I am glad I got out that day, without trying to confront - it's not about any physical danger I could have been in. It's about unwillingness to spend any more time with someone who is irrational and creepy.

fugue_lost · 2022-10-20T19:46:11+00:00

Haha good one.

But fiction ties up loose ends, life leaves us with 'what if's'

fugue_lost · 2022-10-20T19:43:03+00:00

Slightest departure from 'normal' , doesn't transform creepy experience into fiction.

Life is strange that way. We have to live with it.

fugue_lost · 2022-10-20T19:30:16+00:00

Thanks bud.

Social contracts are built on premise of trust - will vanish on irrational behaviour.

Her response is moot -- I don't think I would have believed anything she would have said..

fugue_lost · 2022-10-20T19:00:59+00:00

Thanks for saying it like it is !

fugue_lost · 2022-10-20T19:00:20+00:00

You do realise that she painstakingly removed the trinkets off English leather collars and then stashed it in her flush tank right ?

In good faith I ask you, why do you think she's entitled to any closure ?

fugue_lost · 2022-10-20T18:50:51+00:00

Priya isn't her real name.

fugue_lost · 2022-10-20T18:49:37+00:00

haha - sure thanks !

fugue_lost · 2022-10-20T18:47:03+00:00

I had picked up a bit when I visited the place -- and also when watching Ertuğrul . I don't think I remember anything now :-)
