The Changing Cut

In this increasingly fast pace world, T.V. series (and web series) have managed to take over movies as the preferred medium of entertainment. What makes them more desirable? #Films #Movies #Series #Netflix #Prime

Everyone has that one T.V. series that they watch over and over. You find comfort when you watch it. You don’t even need to watch the entire thing like it could just be that specific episode. That particular segment of the series which you love. Or just cause you missed hearing the intro track every time you went to the next episode. ‘It really do be like that sometimes.’ Personally I find myself…

Remastering The Masterpiece

The recent trend of going back and reworking, remaking and remastering old games, tv series, films etc. is somewhat detrimental to the creative nature of these fields. Why is this happening? #Remaster #Perspective #Article

The entertainment industry has fallen to a trend of going back to old works, remaking them and publishing them as fresh content. I refer specifically to the ‘Film Industry’ as well as the ‘Gaming Industry.’ You must have heard about the ‘Mass Effect’ remaster that ‘Bioware’ announced some time ago. Even in movies, the past couple of years have been characterized by remakes of old movies being…

On 19th April 2021, my Steam account will turn six years old. Although my gaming career started much before that, this is still a milestone for me. The first game I ever played was F-16 Multirole Fighter by Novalogic which was released in 1998.

Cooperation over Competition

Why do we have states? A large country like India can be difficult to administer from just its national capital. States enable the decentralization of powers and responsibilities. #Perspective #Politics #Federalism #Article #Essay

The Indian constitution is often described as ‘Quasi-federal.’ It means that it has both federal and unitary features imbibed in it. ‘India is an indestructible union of destructible states.‘ The center is powerful and the states are sub-ordinate to it in many respects. However, this does not necessarily mean that state governments do not have an identity of their own. The center is expected to…

Unbalanced Balanced

The importance of an #impartial, #independent and #efficient judiciary is fundamental to the existence of a true #Democracy. How has it fared in the 2 years that have passed since the last time we talked about it? #Justice #Liberty #Equality #Perspective

A sign of true democracy is an independent judiciary. It is unbiased and uninfluenced. It upholds the values of liberty, equality, fraternity and JUSTICE. It represents the faith of the people in a system perceived to be blemished. It has only one sacred book, the ‘Constitution of India.‘ Which it not only follows, but upholds and protects from those who try to tarnish the sacrosanct image of it.…

According to my Steam profile, I have been an avid gamer for the last 5 years. Over these years I must have played a vast number of games. Some of them left a lasting impression on me.

Democracy up for sale

The recent drama in the formation of the Maharashtra government only points towards one thing. India's democracy is up for sale to the highest bidder. Ideological alignments do not matter if the offer is high enough. #PawarDoubleCross #Maharashtra #India

The BJP-Shiv Sena pre-poll alliance faltered; the latter joined hands with the NCP and INC. To add more fuel to the fire, one of the NCP leader broke off with his parent-party and defected to the BJP. Then just a few days into defection,…
