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.

Australia on fire: millions of animals are dead

Education is process of learning, believe it or not, we are still uneducated, you may have understood  the theory of quantum physics, the theory of  greatest happiness of greatest number, you may be a master in sin cos theta or you may have a double doctorate in literature but how many of us understood the meaning and purpose  of saving the mother earth?? What is the use of that education which taught you the function of the world, if you can not save the same world All of us has a dream which we want to fulfill, some people want to become a doctor or engineer or a rapper, fashion designer, journalist, IAS officer, lawyer and some want to establish their own company. To achieve these goals of ours we work hard day-in and day-out but why we are putting so much of time and handwork on something which is not gonna be in the future. The world is facing a water scarcity crisis,  the quality of drinking water is worsening day by day upon that the level of wate...

Whats App Chats as an Evidence ......in the court

Does your WhatsApp can be used as an Evidence? A Sweet and simple answer would be yes . But it is really effective, will it be admissible in the court? Is a WhatsApp conversation accepted by Indian court as an Evidence? WhatsApp Evidences are called Documentary Evidence and electronic evidences under section 3 of Indian Evidence Act 1872. An Evidence means all statement, which the court permits or to be made before the court as witnesses in the relation with the matter(Case). After the introduction of IT(Information Technology)Act 2000 the scope of evidences were expanded to include electronic records. WhatsApp or data of any social media is an electronic record.

Fake spirituality

Spirituality  is state of being the equality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material of physical thing.  The word spirituality found its root from a France word "spiritualite", which is deprived from late Latin "spiritualitas". The word "spiritualitas" means alive soul. In the present era the word donates to belief on the existence of god, going to temple,mosque, church and the other places of worship. I am Hindu by birth and by choice, so performing Puja,Aarti and others are a part of daily routine of my family. Morning and evening its a ritual in my family to light the diyas, no matter what. I do find it very satisfying while doing it because I know why I am doing what i have been told  to do, yeah the science is the same what Modi applied during lockdown. Today when I heard the news that "Vikas Dubey"surrendered himself  after visiting and praying in a temple, I felt bad, not because he surrendered himself ...
