Is OTT killing Big Cinema?

Image
Hello everyone and welcome back to month 28 of #faltufriday! I recently wrote an article for a magazine titled ' Is OTT killing Big Cinema? ' and found this topic really unique.  I've been brought up in a generation where I could observe the shift from mainstream media to OTT platforms so this authoring this article was really fun for me. Disclaimer: It was an argumentative article so what you'll be reading is going to be a one sided argument, nevertheless, feel free to drop in the comments if y'all agree with my pov or otherwise! Without further ado, happy reading! “Change is the only constant” With the onset of Covid, we saw various OTT platforms gaining popularity. With the bad boys in the house - Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+Hotstar dominating the industry, it does make one wonder, are these platforms the future?  Can you name India’s first OTT platform? While most of us may not have heard of it, BigFlix, by Reliance, was India's first. Only that it came

Be Weird, Be Different

 Hey everyone and welcome backzo! Most of us, if not all, have probably experienced some sort of 'misfit' in school. Some of us may have tried changing ourselves in our sense of style, our way of speaking, or even our whole personality all together just to 'fit in'. I've been through it too, and after long time, realized and overcame it; which is why I wanted to share with you all why it's 100% okay to be you. Just the way you are. Without further ado, lets get to it! As spoken in  my earlier post, my present personality can best be encapsulated in the term ' Ambivert ' And the reason why I find this as my comfort term is because it let's me be me, and explore me. (wow I sound like some 23 year old sheesh) Up to freshmen year, I used to be pretty introverted and didn't have anything 'unique' to me. But after online school began, I started writing blogs and something changed. I had something unique to me. I wrote. As I kept writing, I kept

Make Stress Your Friend

 Hi everyone and welcome back! Today's post is based on a Ted Talk I recently watched and wanted to share with you all :) We've often heard the repercussions of 'Stress' - especially the negative impacts has on your body.  However, a recent study has concluded that stress is only bad if you take it in a bad way. People who consider stress to be the devil are often more prone to stress related conditions than people who make it their friend. When you view your stress response as helpful, you indirectly create a biology of courage.  Too little stress can make you unproductive and too much can make you extremely anxious and lead to various repercussions. You can't control the situation, but you can control your reaction to it, and that is by making it your friend.  Now the next question that may arise would be, How do I make Stress my friend? Well to answer that, I would recommend you watch the ted talk I was inspired by: Here!   Instead of viewing stress as something

Setbacks

(We've all probably seen this image on social media) Hello everyone and welcome back!     A lot of times we feel as if we are over a particular incident or a person. However, sometimes we are greeted with the reoccurrence of the same feeling. Sometimes a little milder, or sometimes worse - most of us aren't able to recognize and combat this and end up spiraling.  I've had it, you have probably too, and chances are, everyone out there has or will. It's natural and human but our minds make us believe its not.   In today's post I'll be getting into Setbacks  and discuss why it can helpful to us and how to work through them. Note: I won't be getting into it from a serious disorder perspective rather one which we all feel at regular intervals as I'm not a professional!  Without further ado, let's get to it! Setbacks: A step back. When we go through one, we hate it. "Why me?", right? We may blame ourselves, be angry at ourselves. How did I let th
