Immaculate Radiance

The title says it all: I've just been discovering some real cool music on the Internet lately. It's pretty cool. So many cool vibes emanating from these songs. Some of these songs have been out for a while and I am just discovering them now. Some are more recent. A lot of them are stuff you don't really hear on mainstream radio channels. I mean, there are also some real cool stuff on the radio nowadays as well. Like Zayn Malik's new album, Icarus Falls, which I want to finish listening to. Zayn's first album, Mind of Mine was such a masterpiece and his musicality outside of One Direction is something I really resonate with (no shade to 1D). I particularly love it when he adds Desi elements to some of his songs. It makes me so proud of the musical styles from my culture. Also guys, remember, Zayn is Desi as well. I look forward to new music from him. Anyway, if anybody has listened to the whole album, let me know what you thought about it. Listening to really stu

NOTE: THIS BLOG POST IS NOT INTENDED TO DISRESPECT THE MAKERS OF FIDAA, ITS CAST MEMBERS, OR FANS. THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT I HAVE NOTICED AND HAS BEEN IN MY HEART EVER SINCE I HEARD ABOUT THIS MOVIE AND THE LEAD ACTRESS. I AM IN NO AWAY AN EXPERT ON THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY OR THE TELUGU FILM INDUSTRY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT EXACTLY THE PROCESS TOWARDS MAKING FILMS IS LIKE. THIS BLOG POST IS SOMETHING I HAVE WRITTEN AS AN AUDIENCE MEMBER AND HOW I PROCESSED THE FILM. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS BLOG POST AS PROFESSIONAL COMMENTARY, BECAUSE AGAIN I AM NO PROFESSIONAL. I JUST HOPE PEOPLE WHO READ THIS BLOG POST CAN RESONATE WITH WHAT I SAY OR AT LEAST UNDERSTAND WHERE I AM COMING FROM. IF THERE IS ANYTHING I HAD COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY OR ANYTHING I HAVE MISSED, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS BELOW. PEACEFUL AND CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS MUCH APPRECIATED. MUCH LOVE <3 No, seriously. I mean it. This needs to be talked about. I mean I know I'm a year late, but let'

This is something that I have had to deal with for most of my life. Whether it be in school, parties, boujee social events, weddings etc, often times I felt the need to impress that particular king or queen that ruled whatever scene I was in. It was not a pleasant ride. It came with heartbreak, disappointment, and rejection. I never felt like an equal to these kings and queens. Whenever I want to talk about something that I have been going through most of my life, I often don't know where to start. My self esteem decreased as I got older. Especially after I came back from India after 3 years of living with my grandparents and entered the second grade, that's when I really started to feel these new feelings called "being left out", "feeling like shit" , "being the weakest link in he room" (well I have left that even before I entered the second grade). But you get the point, it was a culmination of new emotions that I never experienced and nev

NOTE: This blog post is a long one, I know. It's just that I have so much to say on this subject and it's been a low-key hot topic for a number of years and I am trying to make this issue more known, because I do believe this issue is more serious than people realize. I know I don't work in the entertainment industry (especially the Telugu industry) and I am not qualified to give expert answers. I am new to the whole blogging scene and wanted to make this post as in-depth and clear as possible. Please let me know if I'm missing any details or have mistaken anything that I have written. Also, please feel welcome to add anything that I have missed. Peaceful and constructive feedback is much appreciated. I hope this post resonates with you. Much Love <3 Yes.....you heard that right!! Before I continue, I know there are going to be a lot of people who are thinking, "What is Telugu?"  Well, every state in India has its own regional language. These regional l

HEADS UP: THIS BLOG POST WILL MOST LIKELY BE A LENGTHY ONE. I JUST HAVE A LOT RUMINATING IN MY MIND AND HEART WHEN IT COMES TO THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC. IT WOULD BE AMAZING IF YOU CAN READ THIS POST AND I HOPE YOU FIND IT INSIGHTFUL, BECAUSE IT IS RATHER INTENSE. :)  WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE. You know? College was one of the most amazing times of my life. I learned more about myself. What I truly liked and what I didn't like. I also became less tolerant of fitting into other people's standards, especially those that didn't have my best interest at heart. I felt more free to listen to the music that I actually liked, read and watch things on topics that actually meant a lot to me, and hang out with people that I actually wanted to be around. All that without feeling like an idiot for having my own preferences. Don't get me wrong. College didn't come without the extreme difficulties; Complex projects, certain toxic teachers, unpleasant group wor
