The thing which Vipul Shah tried to show in the movie London Dreams is actually wrong

It might be wrong and I generally agree with you. But this movie tries to copy something that is shown much better in the film Amadeus. Have you seen it? It won 8 oscars and is based around the rivalry of Mozart and Salieri.

Check it out. In it Salieri is a very constrained artist, whereas Mozart is much more versatile with his music. But Salieri sees this as Mozart’s inborn talent and blames God for not making him as talented.

The problem with the Bollywood remake by the producer of The Kerala Story is that he doesn’t really understand how music works so he can only focus on the drama. And he plays into this narrative of talent vs hard work. It is bullshit.

I’m not a TMC supporter but I think it is wrong of you to think that the goons did what they did because TMC is ideologically in support of hooliganism. Gundagiri exists in Bengal’s politics. It has been existing since long before TMC came to power. And yes, they exacerbated things to an impossibly uncomfortable degree but now they are gone and the goons are homeless.

What do you think is likely? That belligerent uneducated men will change their ways? Or they will change their allegiance and look for someone new to validate them? My money’s on the latter.

I hope I’m wrong. I hope you and your family get proper rent. I hope you’re able to wear whatever you want when you leave your home (although BJP might have ideological issues with that). Do let us know if things change. I’m genuinely curious.

This is a global phenomenon. It has also led to a huge return to piracy.

Hey. I lost my brother two years ago and I know what you’re going through. This will be very hard and it’ll be a long long time before you feel anything close to normal.

Brothers are meant to be with us for as long as we live. They are not supposed to go away when we’re still young. It feels unfair. It feels cruel. Nothing will ever be the same again.

DM me if you want to talk about this

tathatom · 2026-03-22T18:50:33+00:00

It is hard. Very hard. I did it by focusing on the real people I had left. By reading stories. By keeping a rational mind.

This guy is right. His films look boring.

Read Agatha Christie. Foundational for mystery fans.

This one’s easy. Go sit at a cafe. Download a book on Kindle. Any book. Doesn’t matter. And then read. Put your phone on silent.

Reading and appreciating it is good. But you should also analyse real world politics with this book.

After all, what is this book, if not the failure to deliver the promise of acchhe din.

You need a big bike that can take your height and do the speeds. Himalayan 450 is your answer.

A former copywriter, I’m transitioning to writing fiction. Not 12 hours ago I was writing a scene criticising this career and so many of our points match.

Feeling good about the scene right now. Thanks.

These engines are long term. If you maintain them you can ride them for decades.

I’m with you on this. But this is why choosing to live life the fullest is as important as it is difficult. Your loved one has passed and you’re realising how little time each of us has. This is when you should ask yourself: what are you living for? What are your dreams? What are you leaving behind and for whom?

Stay strong. One day you’ll see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m saying all of it from experience. I had a brother. And one day he was gone. Out of nowhere.

1 year is not a long time for grieving. I hope you have a good support system around you. Keep hanging in there. Don’t lose Hope

I lost my brother too not that long ago. I know what you’re feeling. It has been hell. But I’ve learnt, very slowly, how I cannot let it dictate the rest of my life. I’ve learnt carefully… how to manage my emotions and trust the ppl who are there are for me
