Palm Springs - A light read of my wonder

 Palm Springs:

Available on Netflix.

Gist of the movie:
So a guy gets stuck on a date 14.02.2020. He lives 14th Feb over n over again. He never wakes up to 15th Feb. Each morning is a new version of 14th Feb 20.
Now he, along with his girlfriend has come to his friend’s destination wedding at some resort, little far from the city. All the guests live the same day along with him. The wedding happens daily. The only difference being, only this guy knows that the day is being repeated.
All the others live it like their 1st ever  14th Feb 20.
With yet another accident, a girl from the wedding also gets stuck with him and unlike others, she too is now aware of the limbo.
The story is about the struggle of coming out of the loop, on a very light note.
My remind you of 50 First Dates. The difference being, there she lives the same day again and again and here, everyone does. The protagonist knows about the limbo, others don't. 

With this, share with me answers to my wonder if you stumble upon any...
Else, here’s a light read!

 

Palm Springs, you make me Question...

How will I cope? Sorry, wrong one!
When will I cope?
What happens to my dreams?
Do you also re-set the boredom the next day?
And what if I become a painter, will the canvas be blank again the next day?

 How will we spend each morning, where we left or where we have reached? Or bridging between both..

Our endless Goa plans with so many friends, whom we knew would meet again and we knew we wouldn’t reach Goa ever with! Will we miss them or will the day be too short to remind us of them?

Will I be missing on all the new movies, and new music yet to be released? Will I have to manage with whatever the world has given me till that day?

Will money matter again? What if I spend all of mine that day and the next day have it all back, will it excite me?
Or will it be so boring that the most valuable thing will lose its value in that world?

What about the things we are addicted to? Instagram? Social Media? Each new day has new things to go live with, will that be reset again? Sounds irritating, ain't it?

And how about the best friend, anxiety? I know the answer to 'what next'. So now, do I stress about why me?

And now the most important question…how do I get my favorite human here?

Ah yes, that I will figure out..|
But..
Will my favorite human stay favorite with this imposed commitment of togetherness?

I may be wrong on some days, will the favorite human judge me and go?
But, go where?
After all, it’s an imposed commitment..

Ah! Palm Springs..
You made me question and question
But you also gave me this…Finally, I know that there is a bigger forced commitment than the rock solid-looking Indian Weddings!

Time Best Utilized

What do I do When I don't know what to write in examination What do I do When I don't have any solution Don't know How to turn this white paper blue Don't know How to answer even a questions few The girl next to me  Fills page after page  Coz she is lucky enough That her neighbor knows so much! The guy in front of me Pulls his hair thin Scratches his head Peeps here and there Scrabbles something then mumbles something Thinks for a minute, writes for a second Then again repeats the whole procession! My world is so cool Outside this confusion pool Here m such a fool Whereas outside beautiful I once glance around Not astonished with what surrounds Girls adjusting chunnis and styling hair Guys feasting eyes with so many to stare! Some actually think hard Some act thinking hard But for an observer like me Its easy and fine Who is a good actor And whoz a mere imposter! I keep on writting And Mam is impressed so But she doesn

Unbelievable

U N B E L I E V A B L E  Netflix, Limited Series.  Unbelievable is a limited series that shows a perfect serial rapist and how he never gets caught coz he carefully chooses his victims to be lonely or emotionally unstable ladies and later leaves the crime scene staged in a way that the episode when stated by the victims seems like a poorly cooked story for attention seeking.  This is not a review about the story or direction or sorts. I am sharing what broke my heart. The girl whose bubble is not burst by that rape but by her own people much after the rape happens! It broke my heart much more than the rape and the fact that he got away with the rape.  Rape is an unforgivable act. My personal belief is, between a man and his woman, be it her partner or son, the relationship should be so strong that even if 'he' commits a murder, he should be comfortable enough to come and confess to his lady. They should be together in each other’s every good and bad. But rape! I would b
