Stranger Things (Season 3)

This season’s storyline seemed a bit stretched out. As if the writers, Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer, didn’t know how else to continue the story. So they repeated certain aspects of the season one and two, to create season three. However, one of the redeeming qualities of this season was its humorous scenes that had perfect timing and played out well.

Since season one, released in 15th July 2015,

Ashok Kumar, Kishore Kumar and Anoop Kumar

The fact is that, my father shared some resemblance with Ashok Kumar, at least, in my opinion. So, as like every father’s daughter, I gravitated towards watching Ashok Kumar’s movies. I still remember the first time I saw him in the movie Ek Choti si Baat where he acted as a love guru, something like Matthew Hussey. In that movie, he was teaching the…

Gaurav is a friend and a colleague of mine. Who is a great leader and is an amazing writer and guitarist. He has guided me and contributed in uplifting my career, confidence and spirit. He has made valid suggestions and helped me edit a lot of Movie Anatomie’s initial articles. Whenever I have felt low or incapable of passing through the day, he lifts me up with his few lines of wisdom. Some of…

Pen scribbling on a crumpled up paper,

Moving across from one page to another.

Mind flying in the world of envisions

Attempting to grab the fumes of the delicate visions.

That slips sometimes through the fingers before

It appears on the sheets.

Words defy control. 

Stories take the course that could never have been foretold.

Haven’t you heard before?

Graduating the 'All-mighty',

wasn't a certificate enough.

Tossed around other's words,

 wasn't hurtful enough.

Labeled ' an irritating product',

wasn't new enough.

Being real taken as the new mask for gullible,

wasn't unusual enough.

Advised to join the Cambridge school of comebacks,

wasn't surprising enough.

Then what is enough?

Enough is the intention of this institution.

Institution that initializes,

'the war of the words'.

Encouraging the use of words as bullets.

Endorsing, the pride, the ego over wits.

Tell me, is that what is left of words worth?

Words were invented to communicate thoughts.

Thoughts were revived with the 'silent' wars.

Wars were banned with wounded hearts. 

Hearts are set with brutal scars,

...scars of our cruel past.

The world looks up for the meanings of words,

the 'word' which has lost its meaning.

Mastering the art of words is like,

mastering the art of the sword, or like,

mastering the art of love.

Oh! The mighty master, 

enrich us with your wisdom,

which may be more powerful,

the sharp sword of death and hurt, 

or the tender ink of love and soul?

Cocoberry

Are you looking to amp up your yogurt experience this summer beyond raita and lassi? Cocoberry is the place for you.The texture of their yogurt is lighter than the greek one, yet more creamy. Healthier than an ice cream, and yet more satisfying.    

Cocoberry serves four proportion of cups: small (2 scoops), regular (4 scoops), medium (5 scoops) and large (5 scoops). They also provide the option to avail your own choice of toppings. Which ranges from fresh in-season fruits, dry fruits, frozen berries to cookie crumbles and not to forget brownie cubes making the experience worth its price. These large varieties of flavours and toppings keep the door open for you to play around with new combinations for your next adventure at Cocoberry.

The best part is that you don’t even have to go out in the heat to get this experience. You can order for a home delivery and they will bring your choice of yogurt at your door.

Must have flavours: Blueberry and Green Apple yogurt. Must have toppings: Crushed Almonds, Dark Choco-chip, In-season fruits and frozen berries.

Natural Ice Cream

Are you bored of the same old ice cream flavours of vanilla, strawberry and chocolate (that are commonly available at mother dairy)? Are you adventurous by nature and are willing to give Natural Ice Cream a try? Let me assure you, more than an ice cream parlour, Natural Ice Cream is a laboratory of creating the most unthinkable and outrageously the best flavours in ice creams.

The only downside of Natural Ice Cream is that you can’t order a scoop or two. You need to order a brick to get it delivered at your doorstep. But, for an ice cream so cool why will you not want to keep some extra in your fridge and take a spoon or so once in awhile? (Which means, every night when you happened to pass by the fridge with a spoon in your hand. Wondering to yourself where did the spoon come from. Huh!)

Must have flavours: Watermelon Ice Cream, Anjeer Ice Cream, Tender Coconut Ice Cream.

Honourable mentions

How can a summer chill out time be complete without hanging out in Cafe Coffee Day and sipping on the Cafe frappe in between conversations? Must try: Cafe frappe.

While walking in and out of the metro station at Nehru Place. Must step in Epicuria and indulge in the taste of ‘The original milkshake’ Keventers. Must try: Pineapple shake.

Gone for a shopping at Gk2. Don’t waste your money on aerated drinks and head out to Juice stall. Must try: Mango shake.
