My Love For Bollywood

-

 Bollywood has always played an integral part in shaping up my personality. Right from childhood to teenage, I have always been, what some might say, a "Bollywood Baccha". On the occasion of month 10 of #faltufriday I decided, why not write about my VERY big obsession with Bollywood movies :)

I was about 4 months old when I heard my first Bollywood song and have been more is less infuriated with🤷🏻‍♀️ My all time favourite movie, throughout my childhood and teenage has definitely got to be "Om Shaanti Om" and songs from "Rang de Basanti". Every time someone would play a song from either of these films(at times even others), you could always see 6 month old me just sitting and grooving with joy :)

Anyways, over time this gradually faded out. From the ages of 5-12 I really staged started getting into English Pop Music which then saw its downfall in my music taste graph chart by the time I turned 13.

A close relative of mine was getting married and I was to perform at their sangeet. So, in most Indian weddings usually people dance on Bollywood songs, which is why I too started going deep diving into my music feed to find the perfect song to perform on. During the course of doing so, I came across a number of lost gems of the mid-bollywod era. These were basically song from the years 2000-2015. 

And that's where the trouble began. Slowly slowly I started getting more inclined towards different songs and movies from the mid-bolly era. 4 years in, 90% of my playlist is full of Bollywood songs-to the point that it has become annoying(for my sister :P )

My sister has the complete opposite music and movie taste to me so it's always a fight as to who gets to play the songs in the car or whose movie we watch at movie nights. I always win though (elder sibling things :P )

My personal choice of movies and songs are mostly from 2005-2015-not really of the ones before and after that except for a few. My top 5 favourite movies which you would see me recommending to every person ever would be:

  • Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
  • Om Shaanti Om
  • Jab We Met
  • Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
  • Hasee Toh Phasee
Anyways, these were my top movies; drop off yours in the comments below!
    My crazy obsession with Bollywood still continues to annoy a lot of my friends as we have different tastes. I'm not very into Bollywood industry news, just the movies and songs :)

That was it for today! Don't forget to drop off your favourite movies and songs in the comments and share and subscribe for more! Thank you all so so much for such a successful month :) We crossed over 4000 subscribers!!

Signing off,
Kuhu :)

The Broken Hot Chocolate Machine

 I've been in college for about over a month now. In the 40 days I've spent here, I've visited the food hall over 100 times - of which the Hot chocolate machine has been broken for over 90. Bombay's humidity was quickly replaced by Boston's "Fall" (it's winter guys) and the only thing helping me through the transition was a cup of hot chocolate every morning. But about 2 weeks in, the hot chocolate machine broke.       Initially, a piece of paper, closely stuck by tape, lay pressed against the machine: " Hot Chocolate Machine is Broken! "  4 weeks in, it's now a laminated sheet of paper, carefully stuck to the machine. Someone took the time to type it out onto a computer, print it, cut it, have it laminated, and stick it up to the machine. Do you know what they could be doing in that time? (Hint: getting the machine fixed!) This post is not about the machine. (Obviously Kuhu, it's a Mental Health blog - get to the point!) We often pro

The Constant Comparison Circle

"Wish I had hair like them." "How do they manage being the best at EVERYTHING?" "They're so fit  - look at me: a couch potato" We've all compared ourselves with the people around us. We all compare ourselves with the people around us. We get jealous, begrudged and green with envy. And sometimes we just smile to not let the world know. We get insecure. We feel bad. But what we always forget to accept is the state of the situation. Our situation - their situation. Literally no one out there is a 100% happy with their lives. And, unlike the cliches, maybe we shouldn't be.  Who said that you have to be happy all the time? If you're happy all the time then how do you become a better version of yourself? There will always be someone smarter, richer, more popular, and better-looking than you. Healthy competition is good. It's not a bad thing to have people be better than you. It's a bad thing if you accept that you can never work hard and

Consistency and the 4 Year Special

“Isn’t it funny how, day by day, nothing changes, but when we look back, everything is different.” -C.S. Lewis If you go to the gym for the first time, and you work out, and you come back, you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. If you go to the gym the next day, and you come back, and you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. Clearly, there are no results, can't be measured, it must not be effective, right? This is the thought that often leads to us quitting. The problem doesn't solely lie in the lack of patience, but rather, in the lack of material. If we don't see it, we tend to believe it doesn't exist. That's where we get it wrong. "Good things take time. Getting better takes time. Building a habit takes time." But they also take consistency.  Going to the gym for nine hours does for a day not get you into shape. Working out every day for 30 minutes gets you into shape. Studying a chapter one night before may work (sometimes); but in t

Is a Fresh Start Always the Best Thing?

-

 Before starting Junior year, I pledged to myself that I would make it "my year." I would study super hard, I'd make a million friends, and I'd come under the teacher's radar. Jump to September 2022,  I was burnt out. Walking back home with earphones plugged in, I remembered the first line of this post. And then I also realised how incredibly stupid it was of me to think I could ever accomplish it. Now don't get me wrong, it wasn't stupid because it was unattainable; it was stupid because it was unsustainable. Many a time, when we wish to just give up everything and "move on" ( start completely fresh), we tend to forget our past and our learnings from it. That is (one of) the biggest mistake we as humans make. Rather than acknowledging a fact, we tend to ignore it and act like nothing happened because after all, Ignorance is Bliss, na? A fresh start shouldn't mean giving up your whole life in pursuit of something new. A fresh start is when yo
