*Kaala Paani (Dark Water)* was such a disappointment after setting up the series so well; after an ok-ish start the series really comes together as an edge-of-seat thriller right uptill the penultimate episode. And then it all falls apart in the finale; its like till episode 6 the makers were convinced this would work as a mini series until someone had a tubelight moment and decided they could potentially conceive another season out of it. The result is so much stupidity and drag in the finale that it just ruins everything that leads to it. I just wish they had settled on making it a mini series and ended it; would’ve been a very very watchable series coming out of India.
*No interest in scientific or linguistic accuracy of the series; it was entertaining and held our interest*.

Like all other big companies my company also runs a PAC that employees can join and contribute. I was invited to join with a suggested per paycheck contribution. One look at the candidates the company has contributed to and I am like nope not happening. Now to be fair the company contributes to both party candidates, sure, but in 2023 one party is literally the party of abhorrent rotten trash and I cannot see a penny of my money in their pockets! And since I don’t get a choice where my penny goes, I shall keep it and contribute directly.

I swear I went to Costco with a plan to buy exactly three things but I really have no idea how I came out with a cart full of stuff and a bill of 250$. And the strange part is nothing felt like unnecesssry shopping while I was in there!

Nothing would be more exciting than a New Zealand – South Africa final. Either of the team deserves to win!

Started watching *Kaala Paani* on Netflix. A predictable post pandemic series but holds interest. So far 3 episodes in but ok timepass show.

This upsets me so much because this is literally my favorite book ever and for a nationalist asshole to make a movie out of this is absolutely shameful. I can already say it will be tragically bad. Just read the book instead which is a masterpiece.

I love how all real estate agents went from *Buy now coz interest rates are low!* to *High interest rates is the BEST time to buy because soon interest rates will drop and you can refinance while other suckers pay even more*. There is this whole industry of people who seem to be thinking interest rates will somehow drop back to 2-3% very soon.

Gotta feel it for the Pakistanis playing in a hostile land, but man you gotta give it all to Afghanistan! What a win.

The contractors asked for wifi password. I was about to share my home network password when I realized I should actually be creating a guest wifi and sharing that password instead. Phew!
