Started watching “Freedom at Midnight” on Sony LIV last night and just into episode 1, Arif Zakaria as Jinnah and Rajesh Chawla as Vallabhbhai Patel steal the show. And yeah, I still think Gandhi’s costliest mistake ever was to elevate Nehru instead of Patel that cost India half a century of going nowhere. Patel really should’ve helmed the free India. Looking forward to next 4 episodes.

This is my 4th time managing a new team and I can now confidently say there is one sub group of people who are just constantly hard to manage. Constantly. At this point in my team I am already dreading working with this group. Whether it was my startup days or here, they are all the same. Please don’t be like them.
Does A. R. Rahman even hear what he is composing these days? I tried to listen through Thug Life soundtrack, dubbed as “A R Rahman Musical” and my fucking lord what an absolute torture. Sugar Baby could’ve been interesting, but the rest of the OST is outright steaming pile of hot crap. How in the world the same Mani-Rahman combination that gave us Roja, Bombay, Dil Se, Alaipayuthey fall from such peak to give us this hore-shit?
My neighbors are not thrilled that I am about to plant green giants all across our borders – they grow quickly and within a couple of years we should have full privacy from them. I mean every time they talk to us the wife has reminded us how the original owners of the house wanted the side yard to be beautiful so *they* got a good view out of their house cos they house faces angled to our side yard. Well now you shall see a green wall 😆
The new season of long way home just doesn’t have the magic imo. I think the fun of the series was in unexplored places and honestly Europe is so over explored it feels fairly boring. It’s still fun but there is no comparison to their earlier long way series. I suppose age is definitely a factor for them too.
Was ferrying kids from birthday party yesterday.
Teen 1: “chachu, can you play radar by playboy carti”
Teen 2: “no! The song has explicit lyrics and bad words – it’s not right for you chachu!”
At that age now kids are telling me not to hear a song coz it has explicit lyrics 😂
🍿 Sinners (2025) – ★★★☆☆
If someone told me the alternate title of this movie was The Last of Us:The movie I would have believed it.
Last night met some obnoxious desis as a get together. And we met some young just out of college kids also (desis) who had absolutely no clue what Trump was doing. I think he faked that he knew Trump was president. Just last week a desi colleague of mine asked “have you heard of project 2025”. No dude, I was the one fucking living under the rock, not you.
Yeah it glosses over many things but one episode to go the Bin Laden Manhunt documentary on Netflix is very enthralling watch. The sad reality of this is that in another 70 years I won’t be surprised if half the country actually thinks he was a big hero like half of Americans now think Nazis were good.
