  This is one of those topics where I can write for an hour. For me watching movies is more than just entertainment. The great thing about cinema is it allows you to live another person's life without leaving your room, despite having huge cultural and language differences. In my opinion, cinema is the highest part of any art. Yes, I know I am biased towards cinema. But I don't like to call those kinds of things with disgusting stories and lots of item songs, a cinema. These are not cinemas, this is just a two hours long video and their main motive is earning money. Cinema is more than that, it forces you to think. Whenever I have free time I invest that time in watching movies. I believe that a movie can teach a person lots of things. It has the ability to change anyone's life. Personally, it changed me a lot. It has a great impact on my thought process, on my opinion and how I see things in my daily life. I started watching movies when I was in class ten. Before that I al...

This is a picture I took a year ago...It is a broken window of a Madrasha hostel. Back then, there was the winter season and ice-cold air was blowing heavily. It was a small attempt to escape from the incisive wind. They used Jainamaz there to protect themselves, which they usually use for prayer. The thing is, those Jainamaz were facing contradictory positions. 

  I hope in this age of social media everyone knows what stand-up comedy is. But for those who don't have any idea about “Stand-up Comedy”, it's basically an art form where a person stands/sits in front of you and tells jokes to you so that you can laugh and enjoy your time. If you are thinking that it’s an easy job, I am telling you, dude, it’s not an easy job. In fact, it is one of the hardest art form in my opinion cause everything is live and it’s happening in front of you, anything can go wrong. And it’s not easy to make people laugh. At this time, stand-up comedy is very popular around the world. Many countries have a huge market in this field such as the US, India, Canada, Australia and so on...For example, in India stand-up comedy started getting popular in 2009 which wasn’t long ago. Vir Das, who is one of the best stand-up comedian right now in the world, came back from the US and started a show called Weirdass Comedy where he made a platform for newcomers called “Ham...

  A few days ago a big Twitter handle posted a tweet that asked what is your favorite movie ending. The first name that came to my mind is ‘Jojo Rabbit’. I watched that movie a year ago. It was like a magical and also a musical journey for me, though it’s not a musical drama. Oh my god! Roman Griffin Davis! What an actor!! Would love to see more of his work in the future. The plot of this movie is based on World war II. Jojo who is a member of Deutsches Jungvolk( German Youngsters in the Hitler Youth) and Adolf Hitler( played by Taika Waititi) is his imaginary friend. Jojo has a massive belief in Nazi ideology because of his imaginary friend. But his mother, whose role is beautifully played by Scarlett Johansson, is entirely opposite of him. You can see a sweet debate between them on the ‘Table of Switzerland’. But, suddenly one day Jojo met a girl who is Jewish. And after that Jojo’s universe started to change….and the journey begins. To know the rest of this, go and check out thi...

  I went to that Kolkata three years ago, where a long time ago people used to stand in a long line only to watch Akira Kurosawa's cinema. But nowadays Kolkata doesn't look like before. It doesn't have such art and literature in the present as it used to have in the past. But still, Kolkata is a very historic city. It used to be the capital of British colonialism. You can find that British architecture in Kolkata easily. The trams which are significantly very slow and the Howrah Bridge are one of those two trademarks which define Kolkata very evidently. But you can't imagine Kolkata without the yellow taxis. The yellow taxis are the beauty of Kolkata. Unfortunately nowadays the modern taxi services which basically works with the help of apps, are taking the place of Yellow taxis. That's why the number of yellow taxis is decreasing day by day. It's very unfortunate to see.

  A long time ago, a baby crow was born in a crow family. Daddy Crow and Mama Crow both were very happy. The crow cub looked like all other crows, but his temperament was a bit different. Full of curiosity, he always used to ask questions to his parents about a lot of things. His parents were also very upset by this nature. And that's how he gradually grew up in a crow society. He grew up watching society with curious eyes. He gradually became acquainted with the rules of society. And at one point he had started his studies. In the crow society, education is given the most importance, that’s why crows are the most intelligent among the birds. He also continued his studies according to the rules of society. But he was not very good at education. He was lagging behind his classmates. Due to this, his parents were so upset. They put more pressure on him in his studies, because if he is not able to get a good result in his exams, he will not be able to get recognition in crow society. ...
