Chaos is a ladder

Yes, you are right, I am using Baelish's line from Game of Thrones, but the article has nothing related to the show.

There are times when our life goes very smoothly with no problems at all. This period may go on for days, or months, and if you are lucky then it can last for years also. I wish everyone has years of smooth life without any big hustle to go through.

It affects your life but this is the time when you can improve and become a different person altogether instead of surrendering we need to stand up and take charge. This little Chaos will come every now and then, especially from the time we reach our mid-twenties till the time we retire. I previously wrote about uncertainty, It’s almost the same thing. We need to prepare ourselves so that when the time comes in which we have to deal with a situation we are not used to, our hands won’t shake, we don’t panic, and we maintain a peaceful and sensible approach towards the problem. I am not saying don’t be happy in good times, but just hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
Life has a tendency to catch us off guard, we should know how to maintain balance.

I call it chaos as during the time we have to deal with a certain inevitable issue, our entire plan gets disrupted. Plans might be big or of high importance to us, and it feels bad if we have to postpone or cancel them. It causes stress and we can end up making rash decisions. On the other hand, if we are mentally prepared then we can deal with it like all our other problems.

The Whatsapp DP drama

He sent a good morning message to his friend/girlfriend.

*a few hours later*

He checks his WhatsApp and puts a sad WhatsApp profile pic and status because he didn’t get any reply yet.

He asks his familiar friend to message her just to confirm if she is ignoring him or not.

*After a few more hours*

He feels bad and removes his WhatsApp profile pic.

Finally, he got a reply from her. He feels happy and he puts his smiling profile pic again.


I’ve been seeing this a lot lately. I think it’s complete stupidity to remove dp and status.

That’s the story of almost every Indian youth out there. Whenever they feel sad they just remove their WhatsApp profile pic as they think it’s an easy way to get sympathy and Attention.




They think that if they remove their Dp and Status, people will start asking them, Why? When? Who? How? (Which actually happens in most cases).

I want to give one piece of advice to all the youngsters out there.

No one actually cares

If you have a WhatsApp DP or not

No one actually cares if you are happy or not

Care for yourself

The moment you start sympathizing with yourself, you become meek at that moment.

Never ever disclose your weakness and the times when you were down. I am attaching a beautiful answer at the end. I hope it will help all the broken heart people out there.


P.S I haven’t changed my DP or status since 2014, because it doesn’t matter to me, I see WhatsApp as an application I use, not a reflection of my life ;)

If you are one of these, you wont make it to the top.

There are many kinds of people, I see them every day, some are hard-working, some are lazy, some are smart, some are stupid, and a few are miserable. But none of them know what they are, and when they know it, it will be too late.
It doesn't concern me what people are or what they do as long as they don't cross paths with me.
But being a blogger I must come up with something to write. And for some reason, Time, Hard Work, and Success are my favorite topics. I can speak on these topics for hours.

So I have gathered 3 reasons I believe why some people will fail, or won't grow in life.

1. Disrespecting Time

"Lost time is never found again" - Benjamin Franklin

Unsuccessful people don’t value their time. They are everywhere, anywhere, anytime because they lack the ability to dedicate their time towards their goals. And year after year they make new promises which never come to fruition simply because they couldn’t be bothered to put in the time required toward their goals. Time management skills, learning how to say no, and knowing what commitments to undertake, is a step towards great success in any area of our lives.

2. No Goals

It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.” – Roy Disney

The more important a goal is, the higher it will be on your hierarchy of values and the more discipline and order you will have associated with it. The less important a goal is, the lower it will be on your hierarchy of values and the less discipline and more disorder you’ll have associated with it. Unsuccessful people have mistaken busyness for productivity. They are a part of everything but nothing which they do is in alignment with their values and their goals. Writing down in a journal your goals and implementing strategies that can get you there will help you identify things that are not on par with where you are going.

3. Making Excuses

If you can’t make it good, at least make it look good” – Bill Gates

These are the people who will find reasons and logic as to why they can’t and why they shouldn’t. They sometimes mistake this abhorrent tendency for “just being realistic”. They lack imagination and always find ways to justify why something shouldn’t be but they never really try. The best remedy for this is to stop your mind when it’s about to start making excuses and re-ignite the engine that has started it all.

Then again, these are my personal opinions, Do whatever you want. It's your life.

Boring Life

Generation gap is a serious issue and it leads to many conclusions taking place in brains of people on either side. There will be a time when this gap will become permanent with no damage control.
Often we perceive older/elders as boring because they do things differently, or not the way you want. But we're not always right. There is a lot which we don't know and will only learn with time. 
A thought which I believe everyone thinks nowadays and I don't agree to it.
So I am going to try to explain.

There is a very dangerous trap which 95% of people fall.

It all starts in teen ages – at this age you start to realize yourself as a unique human being, with a unique identity, talents, skills etc...

And somehow, everyone thinks that his or her life is going to be as unique as they feel they are.
However, here goes the essence of the trap: Young people associate uniqueness and happiness of their whole life with uniqueness of themselves, and think it’s just impossible to be otherwise. 

Youngsters look at adults and think that they are boring, they just don’t get it, they don’t understand how cool life is. Teenagers can never ever even consider the possibility of ending up living the same boring lives as their parents. Why? Because they think “I am just so unique and different…”.
So instead of working hard and act on their “uniqueness” to develop it and make it evolve, they just live and think it is all going to happen on its own….
But it won’t.

And this is exactly how these bright and uniquely talented young people end up living a boring mediocre life – complaining about everything around while trying to justify the way they spent their lives.
So this is what I will try to teach my kids (Someday down the line) – life DOES NOT just happen, but boring life does.

Restoring faith.

Date 6th August 217
Time 10:00 PM


Sometimes few experiences can leave you speechless and makes you think about it. A similar incident happened with me on that Sunday evening.  I don't trust anyone, except my family of course.
So trusting a stranger with money is out of question.  

Whenever I go somewhere near my home I don't carry my cellphone or money. I don't know why I do that, may be I feel free. You also try that, just leave you phone and go outside, it's a different feeling. So I went to drop off a guest that evening on my bike and when I was returning home, at Delhi-Gurgaon toll I noticed my rear tire is punctured. My first reaction, It's a fu**ing highway how can this happen, So there I was stranded without any means of communication or money ( I had 20 rupees for my cigarette which I was going to get later). With no other choice, I started to walk. It would take me 45 minutes - 1 hour to reach home given that I had to pull the bike all along. I was not in a big trouble, It was all just a big inconvenience for me. So after walking few meters I found a shop that repairs punctures. I thought why would he fix mine for 20 rupees when the rate is 40-50 approx. But I gave it a try, I explained the scenario and he said no problem he will fix it. I relaxed but I was sad because I won't be able to smoke. Then came the actual problem, evidently the tire was not punctured, the valve was rusted and leaking and we all know it can't be fixed. Only solution is a new tire tube. the cost he told me was 320 rupees. I said put it all back I will walk home. To my surprise he said he will change the tube too and I can pay him tomorrow. I can't explain what I felt. It is a very big deal for a small business owner to trust people with such amount. He went to get a new tube.




While I was thinking I remember my family would be waiting for  me, I should inform them. I only remember one number by heart, i.e my dad. Believe me you should know at least one number of someone who will come for you no matter what and that person is your father.

I asked him if I can make a phone call, he gave me his phone, before going to dialer I noticed he has Paytm installed. I asked him if he accepts Paytm ? He said yes. Problem solved, I called my dad and had him send money through paytm. I didn't even have to pay him my cigarette money :)

So he fixed my bike.
With increasing crime/fraud rate it is impossible to trust anyone. But we still should. 

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.  Forgive them anyway.
            If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.  Be kind anyway.
            If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.  Succeed anyway.
           If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.  Be honest and sincere anyway.
            What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.  Create anyway.
            If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.  Be happy anyway.
            The good you do today, will often be forgotten.  Do good anyway.
         Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.  Give your best anyway.
         In the final analysis, it is between you and God.  It was never between you and them anyway.

When you feel lazy or uninspired...

We all mostly feel like crashing, having a drink and relaxing whole day, who doesn't likes to relax right ?

But the thing is, time is something we underestimate, how many of you actually value your time ? Did you say you do ? look at the list below

1 Week - A holiday.
1 Day - Sleep it off, watch TV, lie around.
6 hours - A day out with friends.
3 hours - Movies/Series. (For some it may be longer, depending they watching it at home)
2 hours - Internet. (For some it may be longer)
1 hour - Gaming, Social networking. (For some it may be longer)
30 minutes - Time spent on phone calls (For some it may be longer)
15 minutes - nobody cares
1 minutes - no one cares like it doesn't exists.
I am not even going to write about "seconds"

So above list is a typical example of people utilizing their time, and those people are average. Stop being average, stop doing what everyone else is doing. Create your own life, your own lifestyle, your own rules, and make it all aligned with the time so that you have enough to spend with your loved ones and to achieve your goals.

Here’s a little tip I use when I feel like wasting time.
“Whenever you feel lazy or uninspired, just imagine your 80-year-old self is watching and judging HOW YOU SPEND YOUR DAY.”

The older we get, time seems to move quicker because everything happens in bigger time blocks. In grade school you had 45-min periods, a 15-min recess, a 30-min lunch, a 60-min basketball practice etc.

When we’re older we have 4-hour, part-time shifts, 3-hour college classes, 9-hour work days, 2 hours of daily commuting, etc. In adulthood our weeks, months and years often blend together in hindsight.

It’s incredibly easy for these large chunks of time that take up my day to wear me out. REMEMBER: There will be nights when you come home and are so exhausted that you’ll crash immediately.

On other nights when you have the option to either call it a day or use your last bits of energy to contribute something, ALWAYS choose the latter. Even if it’s just an extra paragraph you write, a chapter you read or an email you send. Those small tasks you tackle accumulate over time and will pay dividends sooner than you think.

If your 80-year-old self is watching you today, they’re envying you because you have the one precious resource that no amount of money will ever get them: time. So make the most of it. That way current you AND 80-year-old you can be proud of a life well utilized.

How to find and manage huge file in your PC

We all have a bunch of stuff in our PCs, but when we get disk full error, we don't know whats taking that space.
So here's a utility software I have been using since a long time which helps a lot.
You can also watch my video on how it works.

WinDirStat is a disk usage statistics viewer and cleanup tool for various versions of Microsoft Windows.
Note: if you are looking for an alternative for Linux, you are looking for KDirStat (apt-get install kdirstat or apt-get install k4dirstat on Debian-derivatives) or QDirStat and for MacOS X it would be Disk Inventory X or GrandPerspective.



Please visit the WinDirStat blog for more up-to-date information about the program.

On start up, it reads the whole directory tree once and then presents it in three useful views:

The directory list, which resembles the tree view of the Windows Explorer but is sorted by file/subtree size,
The treemap, which shows the whole contents of the directory tree straight away,
The extension list, which serves as a legend and shows statistics about the file types.

13 Stupid Reasons Why (Spoilers)

So I marathoned the much talked about series nowadays 13 Reasons Why. The people are going bananas over this, it made me feel I should watch it too, but with my exams coming up on 1st June I thought I would watch it later but the hype was so much that I decided to get this over with.

So here's my analysis of why all reasons are stupid.



1. Tape subject: Justin Foley, for spreading a racy picture of Hannah along with a sexual rumor about their encounter.
I get it, he was clicking a picture, and the slide made it an upskirt pic and it got spread in the school. Can't say much about it but it's definitely not a reason to end your life.

2. Tape subject: Jessica Davis, mistakenly believed that Hannah was the reason for her breakup with Alex.
People are full of shit, they believe what they want to believe. Kick Jessica out and find new friends.
Humans no matter what age, deal with situations like this every now and then.

3. Tape subject: Alex Standall, for listing Hannah's ass as the best one in school to get Jessica Davis jealous so he could be more popular.
There were other girls on the list too. She should have fully ignored it like a normal person would do.

4. Tape subject: Tyler Down, for stalking Hannah and spreading her and Courtney's kiss photo around the school.
This was exaggerated, shut the window or drapes or whatever, it's your bedroom.

5. Tape subject: Courtney Crimson, for throwing Hannah under the bus to avoid being discovered as one of the people in the kiss photo.
Someone told a lie about you, it happens every day with almost all of us.

6. Tape subject: Marcus Cole, for humiliating Hannah in public on their One Dollar Valentine's date.
A guy bringing guys with him on a date, seriously girl "get a clue and walk away".

7. Tape subject: Zach Dempsey, for stealing the "positive notes" destined for Hannah in Communications class out of revenge for her rejecting him and his help.
You told him to go away way too loudly and among the entire school. He was humiliated and did a childish thing of stealing notes, totally harmless.

8. Tape subject: Ryan Shaver, for stealing a poem she wrote noting her personal problems and publishing it in the school newspaper without her consent.
Would you allow someone access to your personal journal, or diary without fully knowing them?

9. Tape subject: Justin Foley, for allowing Bryce to rape his girlfriend Jessica.
The Subject should be Justin and Hannah allowing to let rape to happen, she could have come out and tried to make it stop. Hannah did nothing but sat there like a spectator.

10. Tape subject: Sheri Holland, for abandoning Hannah after she crashed her car into a stop sign, which later caused the death of another student.
Seriously, that accident was meant to happen, do you know the coke can you threw on the highway caused an accident? The razor blade you threw in the garbage killed an animal? The Stone you threw off a cliff landed on someone's head? It was totally natural.

11. Tape subject: Clay Jensen, for leaving Hannah at her request after the pair almost had sex. However, Hannah notes that Clay does not deserve to be on the tapes (she confesses her admiration and fondness of him) but she says she added him because he knew many of the people who bullied her and she wanted him to know the full story.
Clay was a great guy, what do you expect after you tell a guy to get out several times? Do you want him to read your mind?

12. Tape subject: Bryce Walker, for raping Hannah in his hot tub.
Seriously how can you end up in a tub with a guy who raped someone in front of you and you still do not leave the hot tub at that very instant? Put any girl in that hot tub instead of Hannah and see how she kicks ass, at least she would call for help.

13. Tape subject: Mr. Porter, for not believing Hannah was suicidal and for not giving her proper help.
Its a rape, what will the school do? It happened outside the school, go to the police or your parents you dumb ass. Though I admit Porter acted like a dick here.

Really disappointed, not getting my 13 hours back.

John Wick : Wick v/s High Table

When I first saw John Wick, it blew my mind.
The concept, characters, portrayal, cars, The Continental, basically everything about it.



We like things that are well organized, this movie shows organized crime and it briefly describes the concept of respect. The conversations they have in the movie are well thought out and brilliantly written.

The First installment shows how John is forced back in the crime world to avenge his dog's death which was a gift from his departed wife. We can easily relate that the actions he took were not just because of that dog but because the Character was angry at why She had to die as he is the one who has committed many sins.

In the second installment, it is shown that he cannot go back to the normal world. And the quote from the first movie "I once saw him killing 3 men in a bar with a fucking pencil" comes to life when he actually kills men using a pencil, it was brutal.

The Cop Jimmy repeats his dialogue "You working again John"
While John also repeats his dialogue "Goodnight Jimmy"

I am assuming we might see  more of the Receptionist too "If you'd be so inclined Mr. Wick"

John Wick 2 ends with a massive cliffhanger and we surely can expect a great 3rd installment to the series.

Here's what the makers have to say about John Wick 3
We want, not so much to go bigger on the third one, but to show you more of the intricacies of the world… I feel like there are all these different subtleties that I skipped over in Number Two, that I’d like to go back to on [chapter three] and show you the inner workings of different parts of New York. So rather than massive set pieces, I’d like to show you cooler and more intricate ones… I think it would be a mistake budget-wise and creatively to just go big and blow up a freeway. That’s not our gig. That’s a comic book or a Bond gig. We want to show you cool and intricate details. What are those little details in everyday life? Hopefully – we make people look at garbage collectors and cleaner vans and homeless people a little differently now.

The Day I killed a Bird

It was a great day as always, but unfortunate too.

I came back home, we have a lot of birds, squirrels, peacocks roaming in the Farm House.
Out of nowhere a bird appear in front of my bike, he had his wings spread and he was few inches above the ground I thought he is flying and would pass so I did not apply brakes.
I stopped few meters ahead to check. I walked towards where I first spotted the bird.

The bird was sitting idle, he looked perfectly fine. I reached out to grab him, he did not resist, he was alive, then why did he not fly when I tied to grab him. He was blinking, his neck was moving. There was no blood. May be I ran over him that caused an internal injury. I brought it with me with hopes that he would survive and will fly again after some rest.

But it died few minutes after I brought it with me. It died in my hands.
I felt so much guilt for killing a bird for no reason.

It was the same breed as shown here.

I would request all to drive a little slow in areas which have birds flying around very often.

Vivek Choudhary
I hope that bird forgives me for killing him :(

The Games Period : School Times

When we moved to Jaipur, I started school from 6th standard in DAV Jaipur. Its an average good school, nothing extraordinary about it.

I don't remember whether it happened in 6th or 7th standard.
We used to have a games period every Saturday. I was not into sports, still not into it. Major game we played was football, no matter in which team I am, I used to hang around the goal so that I don't have to run around the pointlessly given that I don't know how to kick the ball properly. I don't remember how but during one such game they made me goalkeeper, I didn't mind I sat there with some more guys who weren't actually playing. The chances of ball coming to me were maybe 30-40%.

Suddenly I saw everybody running towards our goal, the guy who had the ball and maneuvering it towards me was tall and very healthy. I knew squat about football, basically when you have to stop a straight ball coming towards you, you need to cross your arms to save your chest from the impact. The guy hit the ball really hard, and I instead of crossing arms, stood in SRK style with arms spread to cover maximum area. The ball hit me right in my chest. I saved the goal but felt my body organs moving, I sat down, it took me couple of minutes to get up again. I saved the goal for my team, for next two weeks they again chose me as goalkeeper, I knew what to do this time "let the ball pass" but the ball never came to me again.

Anyways, those were good days.

Corporate Rules that you should know.

  1. Take ownership. There is no blame game in corporate. If it succeeds, its everyone’s effort. If it fails, its your fault. Its not a school to push the blame on someone. Your seniors will respect you for integrity.
  2. Be always smarter than your manager. If you are, then your job is secure and he will respect you. If you aren’t, be ready to listen to his taunts and degradation.
  3. If it needs to be done, it has to be done. A mail pops in just before you have to leave after a 10 hour day. And it says urgent. Either you can ignore it or sit for another half hour to complete it. Your decision decides your promotion.
  4. Don’t take a day off unless needed. Your hangover doesn’t count as a reason. If its a reason, stop drinking. Stop everything that makes you tired next day to miss office.
  5. Be cheerful with everyone from security guard to VP. It will give you 2 benefits: 1. You would be presented as a positive and cheerful employee (and it matters) 2. You can get things does easily.
  6. When in office, do office work. Its ok to file IT returns or check quick social media but don’t start making business plans for your startup or start editing photos for your candid photography page. 6–8 hours of solid office work everyday will take you long way.
  7. Know your process, know your peers, know about every (most) work getting done in your building. Don’t be a stalker or a nagger. Be a curious candidate who knows what he and his peers are doing. Will help you solve any problems you face in work sometime.
  8. Know your company well. Sounds childish? Trust me, most of us do not know what your company does fully. What are the product segments, who are its competitors, where is the headquarter and who is the CEO.
  9. Know the current affairs. While this doesn’t directly affect your work, there are moments when you would get a chance to interact with top management and the topics leapfrog from politics to macro economic factors. You shouldn’t be a sitting duck. Your small talk can have a very large impact.
  10. Focus on big picture. You are just an ordinary s/w engineer or a junior analyst? Doesn’t matter. Look at your process like your lead or manager sees. Focus on the big picture. See like a bird and work like a worm.
  11. Sometimes its donkey work. Do it. I work with senior directors of billion dollar companies who make their own slides. And many times they have to spend time on adjusting the logos or changing the fonts! Part of the job. They have secretaries but on a tight schedule, you are your boss.
  12. Never blame your company. Never. if you feel you are excellent worker and your current company is not supporting you, then you are free to take a walk outside. Search for a better company. And if you can’t find a job, well then, its your mistake. You are not competent enough.
  13. There is always growth. You have to be ready for it. Every company has a CEO and he/she was once a junior like you. The CEO worked his way up by hardwork, talent and beating all the competition. You can also be that CEO if you put 10–12 hours a day for 10 years in a row. There ain’t any shortcut.
  14. Never expect a pat on the back. If you want to go up the ladder, do not strive for pat on backs or acknowledgements for short term projects. To quote Tywin Lannister “Jugglers and singers require applause”. Rise above the competition.

Last Man Standing : True Story

This is a true story, Saturday 25th Feb'17

It was a normal day, well night because I was working at night in our Gurgaon office.
All was good, at 2:00 am I went smoking with my colleagues Tiwari and Chaturvedi after that Chaturvedi left for home, little did we know that he is going to get himself in huge trouble.

Around 3 am Tiwari got a call from Chatur that he is in a hospital and injured. Something bad had happened. Tiwari told me and we left on my bike, we reached Agarsen Hospital in Dwarka at 3:20. I don't recall the last time I hit 100 on my bike, but that night I did (not bragging just we wanted to reach asap) we had no idea what kind of injury it is, how serious things are. A lot goes in your mind when you are in a situation like this. When we reached, there he was in the ER, his jacket and shirt soaked in blood. It was a terrifying experience. He was beaten by 12 guys.

Here goes the story of what happened.
 "The cab dropped him at Dwarka Sec-1 Red light, his home is at walking distance from there. 2 guys approached him asking for time, and he told them the time. Soon he realized he is surrounded by guys from all around, they tried to snatch his phone, but he refused, then they put him down and started beating him in whichever possible way, he was hit in the entire body by kicks and punches, he fought back, then one guy took a stone and hit him on the back of his head. After realizing that this has gone too far, they fled as he was bleeding badly. The injury is deep inside the head as the stone was subjected to of sharp edge, They were unable to rob him of his phone, watch, or Thinkpad.
He got up and rushed to the police station which is also nearby. They took him to the hospital"

Our manager Amandeep reached there in no time, then we took him to Venkateshwar Hospital as no surgeon was available at Agarsen hospital. They took him in and currently is under observation for 24 hours.

The takeaway from the story is not to surrender, I know many of you will think he should have given them his belongings, but untill when, every time someone will try to rob you, you can't keep surrendering to them every time, one day you will fight back, so why not make it the first time?

Here's to our brave friend Alok Chaturvedi.

Time

A long time ago, I saw a movie "In Time" the idea/concept behind that movie was mind blowing.
The currency was time, like 1 hour transferred for a bus ride, 1 hour for a drink etc.

The movie was good, I applaud the person who came up with this idea for a movie. We in real world deal with money as currency, which is very practical since we don't have clocks embedded on our wrist like they had in the movie. I have studied few things about the concept of money and how it works, the inflation etc. But a good definition would be money buys "experiences", A Rs 100 note can buy you a coffee, or alcohol. Its totally your decision.

We take time less seriously than we should. I respect time, you already know about my 10 years theory. As a result I am punctual and finish my work on time. Think of time as 4th dimension, well it is not scientifically proved yet but I believe in it. By every second passing we are moving close to our death, make sure you do all that you want to do, make time for it. There's no point regretting later.

Try to save time, it is just like money and even better than it.
Remember Money can't buy time.

My First Visit To a Church

I am a Hindu by religion but I love and respect all religions in the world, be it Islam, Sikhism, Christianity. I have been to a Sikh Guruwara (Bangla Sahib) and it was a wonderful experience. But don't know why I wanted to visit a church since a long time. I had seen it in a lot of movies, the place, architecture, I used to wonder what would it feel like to be at such a place. I used to think of it as Lotus Temple (New Delhi) 

I wanted to go with a friend, a friend that is of same intellectual level as me, so that he would understand purpose of my visit to a church. I contacted my friend Ayush Wazir, who is a wonderful person and a great guy. He agreed and we went to Cathedral Church of the Redemption. But for some reasons it was closed. We were disappointed and decided to go to Visit to Rashtrapati Bhavan museum but it was closed too. There was huge crowd due to Mughal Garden opening. Mughal Garden opens for public during this time and due to great variety of Roses it attracts people.


So totally disappointed me and Ayush were ready to go home but then it struck us that we has seen another church in google maps. That is Sacred Heart Cathedral, New Delhi we booked an auto, there were two girls and the the auto was headed to nearest metro station. We offered some more money and he agreed to drop us at Church first. When we reached at church, we realized those girls also changed their mind and they decided to visit the church (Not with us) 

So we reached at the church, we were mesmerized by the beauty, the adventure to see a church, (for a moment there I felt like Al Pacino approaching church) so we went inside. It was wonderful, the prayer was going on, we spent 30 minutes kneeling down and listening to the  prayer and teachings. It was peaceful and we felt really good. Then we came out, we lit few candles in front of a mother Mary statue.



Every religion teaches us something, learn and find out the purpose why you are on this planet.

Nocturnal Animals : Movie Review (No Spoilers)

I watch a lot of movies, like you eat food daily I watch one or two movies daily. To tell you the truth I am 98% done with IMDB top 500 be it black and white, foreign movie, etc I have seen it all. I am not saying I am special or anything, there are a lot like me, hell maybe they've seen top 1000. There are many movies I like and watch over and over again.


Nocturnal Animals (2016)




So I started watching this movie, A girl who is now married to someone, receives a novel from her ex husband She starts reading it, the novel is so intense and contains a lot of dark emotions. Story of a man who was travelling with his daughter and wife, things turn really bad when some goons stop their car. I won't reveal any details. But know it, Jake Gyllenhaal's acting moved me. This man is awesome, Donnie Darko, Nightcrawler, Enemy, Southpaw, he is just getting better and better.
Watch this movie for a sweet revenge of an ex husband. If you do not understand how novel is related to the story, email/comment/tweet me I will explain it to you.

This is one of the best releases in 2016
Other notable movies are La La Land, Deadpool, Batman vs Superman, The Nice Guys, Hell or High Water, The Accountant, Sully.

If you doubt my judgement, just go with your instinct my friend.
