Why I do not watch tv or web series.

Tv-series and web-series do not need an introduction, we all know what they are, and being true  they are pretty amazing. Before the pandemic I  had an ordinary, from college to my sweet and lovely bed, I was not a movie buff before, I rarely watched any movie but in the lockdowns, I got involved in movies. Movies are of a short period and there is not much option available. What shall I do the for rest of the day? so, I called up my friends and they recommended  some pretty amazing Web series and few TV series both Bollywood and Hollywood, few of my friends also recommended me
 K-Drama.


 I hunted all the series through Piracy(thank god they have piracy warna mere jese garibo ka kya hota.) I used my 1.5 GB to download everything I wanted. The feeling of not paying 199 for Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hotstar for that matter was extraordinary, people who paid for subscription looked fool to me. As days passed by I realized the drawback of my action. Newton's third law of motion explained my situation crisp and clear. But what went wrong?

1.Less reading  :  As i started watching  more and more Web series, the number of words I read decreased. I am not a bookaholic but I do read Articles, court judgments, newspaper and books. So, reading was absent from my routine. The guilt of not reading was very heavy on me and I had to stop watching the series to get back on track. getting back on track was also not easy, it felt like I was missing on something, it felt like I was wasting my mobile recharge.

2.Less use of social media: Quitting social media is the best thing a person can do in  21st century but when you watch web/ TV series is equivalent to using social media the whole day without any limit. We all know what happens we use social media day in and day out. We lose interest in real life because of pretty a virtual life. The life which is we want in not real, it exists only on screen.So. when you get hooked up with series you create another media platform, just as harmful as Instagram, Facebook, whatsApp etc.



3.Addiction: If you do not drink alcohol, smoke or take any type of drug, even then you are an addict if you feel"just one more episode".

4. Goals: I am a person who always thinks" what's next" or" what will i do today". I do not earn so, neither the desire or the fear of money nor the special person in life forces me to get up every day and go to my study table. The thing which makes me do what I do is the short term goals which helps me to achieve the long one but when I finish one episode, I go and watch the another one. when I finish one series, I go and watch another one because i have nothing planned for the day. It took me few months to realize, where i am gonna end up if I continue what I was doing.



The list of my observation is long and if I continue nobody is going to read what I have written. My intention is not to say that please stop watching series,  I intend to make you realize that do not cat as I did when I got involved into series. Being true it still feels like I am missing on something but i will not go back though series are awesome. I have stopped watching watching movies too but I will watch it if i feel like, down the line on my bad days i will surely watch one but, I  promise never to go back on  watching series. Before saying sayonara I  have another point to highlight that it is painful for your eyes if you watch it for long.

Tata bye bye
Save nature
Save animals
God please save humans too.

When dreams comes true.

An easy way to be successful in life is to have a goal, both short and long terms. it reminds us that we have something to do, It motivates us to get up from the couch  on which we have sat for too long and get to work. It is obvious that many people do not have short term goals but do  have a long one, of having a lavish lifestyle, where they can buy anything for their family, going to hotels and restaurant will not shake their finances and of course, having the best person around you to share this joy of life. Many people around you may not be having any goals neither short nor long term, and there is nothing wrong in not having a goal, it is okay to go where life takes you because nothing goes as planned, fate sometimes crumbles your dream and throws it in the dustbin. So, nothing goes as imagined. But the delight of go with the flow is less than having a dream come true. When a dream comes true, when hard work pays off, you go crazy and you can feel that happiness in ...

Right to Internet:A Fundamental Right????

Right to Internet : A Fundamental Right??? Fundamental Right is the basic human right of citizens. the Indian constitution  grantees every Indian fundamental right. But today more than the guarantee of any other right people need insurance that they can access the internet anywhere and everywhere without facing restriction. Imagine a person who does not have digital freedom in digital India. We often debate the pros and cons of the use of the internet and social media but we all are aware of the importance of them in our life. If there was no internet how could we have used our right to speech and expression, internet is the biggest platform for getting information and knowledge. In the case of  Feheema Shirin.R.K. v. State Of Kerala  where students who lived in the hostel were not allowed to use mobile phone from 10 pm to 6 am. The student in the girls' hostel were also not allowed to use a laptop. This was a violation of fundamental right. Freedom of r...

Why the name your university/ college does not matter.

  I am not from NLU, we all have grown up listening to Harvard, Yale MIT, IIT, NIT,IIM,NLSIU etc, but only 1 or 2 % of student goes to these precious universities, does this means these student are exceptional, extra ordinary and incomparable?   Yes, may be or maybe not because these students are also human being just like us, most of them get placed in good companies just because they are from reputed institution, there is no difference in our learning ability and theirs, most of the time just the study environment which different. But having the tag of being a student of famous institution guarantees successes in life?? A big No None of institution teaches you how to think, how to act and what to say, you can ignore the saying part because very university and college prepare you for what to say in an interview. Why your university/ college does not matter: 1.The dream Company: I don’t know about others but I have some dream companies I want to work with. I ofte...
