Film as dream, film as music. No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul. A little twitch in our optic nerve, a shock effect: twenty-four illuminated frames a second, darkness in between, the optic nerve incapable of registering darkness.

Do NOT Try to Play It: The Gory World of the Blue Whale Challenge

A Blue Whale. A Quiet House. A Silent House. A Sea of Whales. Wake Me Up at 4:20 am.

No, I haven’t lost coherence. These are the various names of the Blue Whale Challenge, best described as an internet 'game’ wherein takers of the challenge are assigned a curator to guide them through and enforce 50 steps of self-harm – the last being killing yourself to win.
The Blue Whale Challenge originated and spread in Russia in 2013, and over 130 teen su***des have been reportedly linked to the challenge across the world. However, no concrete evidence linking the two has been found. And even though Russia claims to have done everything to curb this online menace and made arrests, perhaps it is too little, too late, since ‘phonies’ have now taken the place of the original curators to carry forward this trend.

19 Thoughts That Go Inside Every Indian
Grooms Mind While Getting Married
(Read, Its Hilarious)
Chickens get butchered, and men get
married. There isn't much of a difference. In
fact getting married is a little worse, because
for a chicken, it means the end of life while
for a groom, an Indian wedding is just the
entrance to hell. Too bad, you can never
know how the chicken really feels. But we
can definitely tell you what goes on inside a
typical Indian groom's head while getting
married.
1. When he is made to wear gaudy clothes on
the occasion.
His reaction : (who d f*ck put this s**t on
my face)
2. When he sees people dancing at his own
baraat.
( why are they so happily dancing? )
3. But of course, he can't say it out loud.
And the next moment, he is pulled down
from the 'ghodi' and made to dance.
( please stop .. plaese stop )
4. When everybody in the world is showering
flower petals on him.
( Jijaji agaye.. Jijaji agaye!! )
5. When he meets his best friend who has a
sadistic grin pasted on his face as his bro
enters the hellhole that they call marriage.
(Tu kya hass raha hain, BC? )
And a moment later,
( Bhai bacha le)
6. When he has to keep touching every
relative's feet
(I must have made a World Record by now,
Damn these Indian Rituals)
7. When he looks at bride, all decked up to
compete with a Christmas tree.
(Who's She? )
8. When the photographer blinds him with a
thousand snapshots
( Tu jaa.. Ihaan se bhaag ja.. Jayega ki nahin)
9. When the guests climb up the stage to
give the couple cash cards.
(Look, what i got )
10. When the bride's sister (saali) asks for
money in return of his shoes that she has
hidden
(Paisa de do .. de do..)
11. He is so annoyed by the constant chitter
chatter and bargain from those shrill voiced
birds, that he just wants it to end.
(yeh le paisa.. Aur joote bhi.. )
12. And the 'saalis' be like ( Tu toh ainvayi
ainvayi ainvayi ainvayi lut gaya )
13. When the bride introduces him to a far-
off cousin who is way hotter than her.
( Damn! )
14. When the camera man comes zooming in
yet again
( Aaja, muh ke andar ghushja. BC)
15. When he sees the guests eating all the
delicacies while all he does is sit on that
blingy throne
( Bring it to me.. plz bring it to me too)
16. When relative #5678 (from
neighbourhood) says 'those' words amidst all
the chaos and irritation
( Tu toh iitta sa tha.. kitna bada hogaya!)
(Uhhh.. Really!! )
17. When he has to take marriage vows not
just for this life, but for the next seven lives.
( what, R u insane? what rubbish is this?
lemme go!)
(Roj ghar ki dal.. no butter chicken)
18. While the 'pheres' are happening
(How many more rounds we have to do it ..
Panditji!! )
19. When the 'Vidaai' happens and the ladies
go crazy howling
( Crying.. Koi marr gaya hain kya )

Beauty is just a perception.
At first you'll think the beauty lies in her
looks, the way she walks, or how she
presents herself.
Give it time. Your definition of beauty will
change.
You'll find her beautiful because of her care,
her strengths, her silly blunders and the kind
of love only she is capable of.

**One**
One smile, and start a friendship.
One sorry, and end a conflict.
One outstreched hand of piece, and stop a
war.
One kiss, and save a relationship.
One truth, and stop living the lies.
One dream, and shape your reality.
One leader, and build a nation.
One right person, and change your world.
Never underestimate the power of one.
Forget about the cynics. Break that door!
Come out today!
All it takes just one.

ജീവിതം പലതും നമ്മേ പഠിപ്പിക്കും
ചിലപ്പോൾ ചിരിപ്പിച്ചു കൊണ്ട്

മറ്റു ചിലപ്പോൾ കരയിപ്പിച്ചു കൊണ്ടും
ആരേയും അമിതമായി വിശ്വസിക്കാതിരി
ക്കുക
ഇരുട്ടിൽ സ്വന്തം നിഴൽ
പോലും നമ്മേ വിട്ടകലും

Sometimes the best way to end a bad day is
stop trying.
There are people who won't understand or
value your efforts unless you stop doing it.
No, you're not trying to make them understand
- you're just saying to yourself - I had enough.

Dear Maa,
It’s a truth, a painful one.
May not be even close to the pain that you
borne,
carrying me for 9 months and 9 days.
But I’m not as strong as you. It hurts Maa.
I’m letting it go. I’m leaving tonight.
I’ll remember it every morning and evening.
I’ll remember what started and ended my
day.
My lucky charm, my inspiration, my only
hope – your eyes.
How will I make my day without looking at
those?
I should have stayed for them,
for the trust, for the drop of pride in them.
But they only show distrust nowadays.
How will I make you understand?
How can I change that gaze?
It’s real Maa. It hurts.
I couldn’t look at them anymore. I’m leaving
tonight.
You tell me, he is a stranger.
He was once. But silently he made it inside.
Unintentionally, he occupied those vacuity in
me
I never knew existed within my
consciousness, my soul.
He completed me Maa, just like you did.
It’s not a choice, it is fate.
You think it’s not factual. Just a phase!
I tried to trust it, Maa. I tried to live your
belief.
But it’s as existent just like that scissor
cutting my skin,
making its way through the flesh and blood.
Trust me it’s real Maa. It hurts.
I couldn’t live a lie any more. I’m leaving
tonight.
Trust me, I assumed to finish it all. A drop
of poison
could end all the fights, all the miseries, all
the mistrusts.
I couldn’t. I couldn't kill your expectations,
your efforts -
your lifelong asset in me.
I’ll survive Maa! With him, with my love and
a hope.
A thin hope that you’ll be reading this letter.
You’ll not be ripping it apart in grief and
rage.
You’ll come to me, just like you did when I
was young.
I was lost and weeping.
You came like an angel, you rescued me.
I’ll live for that day Maa.
I’ll be weeping. Having everything in my life
still I’ll be lost. I’ll be waiting to be found.
Will you come for me Maa?
I can’t write any more. It hurts.
If you’re reading this, I’ve left tonight.
:-)

**Depression**
I still smile back at charming grins.
I still remember to giggle at silly jokes.
I still talk to them.
I still enjoy the rain, the evening, the moon.
Then I cry for no reason, laugh at myself.
I remember, I’m just a patient.
They call me depressed.
Then I go inside me. That deep dark hole.
And suddenly I’m alone.
I go through every broken ribs.
I indulge into a gloom of pain.
So dark that it enlightens me.
I look into the mirror
And start hating what I see.
When I fall sleep
The tears run always, unknowingly.
Then I see you, a home, a world
Things that don’t exist.
You make me remember, I’m just a patient.
They call me depressed.
I won’t be like this always.
I’ll kill these stories inside.
Omit the worries, forget the pain.
I’ve been sad for a while.
But tomorrow I will see the light.
I will smile all over again.
But the wound is so deep – it won’t stop
bleeding.
May be years later, sleeping in the comfort
of a borrowed love, security and happiness
I’ll fall in that hole again.
I’ll remember you, the home, that world.
Things that left me.
I’ll be visiting and back.
Although for a moment, for that night
I’ll be just a patient. I’ll be depressed.
