Immaculate Radiance

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...
