Mental Health Movies: Bollywood Edition

-

 Hey everyone!

Welcome back to month 29 of #faltufriday and the last one for this year!

As many of you are aware, I am HUGE fanatic of movies, and even more of Bollywood. 
For this month's Faltu friday, I thought why not cover my two favourite spheres:

Bollywood Movies and Mental Health!

I'm gonna try my best to keep off spoilers so without further ado,

Let's get to it!


Firstly, I have no idea why half the people I've spoken to haven't watched this film. 
It's an incredibly heartwarming and comedic film with a really good turn of events in the middle. 
I'm not that great at critiquing movies, but Sara Ali Khan's acting in this movie was spectacular and Akshay Kumar's role and acting was...epic.
Definitely worth a watch - 10/10 would recommend 


When we think of movies that involve Mental Health in Bollywood, Dear Zindagi tops the list.
Most of us have probably watched this film, but if you haven't, I would recommend you to - it's a really nice, lighthearted film with a couple of 'life lessons' we can all use.


Most of us have watched this for the hilarious comedy that it is. 
It's not revealed till the end that this movie is actually based on a mental disorder.
Nevertheless, 100% worth the watch - especially for the amazing costumes.


Last but not the least, Kartik Calling Kartik.
If not for the plot, watch it for the songs. Absolute bop.
(+ the acting and ending)

That was it for today!

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

The part about College Applications NO ONE wants to talk about.

Officially the time of the year when most of us know where we're going to college!  College is stressful: no cap. But what's equally more stressful is the process that builds up to getting into a good college. Whether you're in the Indian education system or an international applicant, we all know that competition is getting tough. Getting into a well-accredited college in India means  and abroad: But real talk: what happens AFTER the whole process? After you commit to a school? I like to phrase this feeling as Tun-tun mausi ke taane. Why? Because no matter what you do or where you end up - there's always someone to talk bad behind your back, nullify your hard work or simply claim, "Oh I'm better."  In the case of college apps, this is manifested by googling the acceptance rate. Let me draw you a picture: Person A gets into an Ivy League/IIT, person B is at a good college and person C got into a local/community college. It's been ingrained in our syste

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

Maggi-An emotion

Maggi.  Its not just a food item. Its an emotion. Welcome back to month four of #faltufriday where I talk about something totally random and aaj I'm gonna talk about my go to food for literally any situation. Its something I can have anytime, anywhere. And yeh milta bhi har jage hai. Whether its in the heat of Rajasthan or the freezing cold of Switzerland.  This is one standard food which is found in any part of the world and tastes the same everywhere. The variety of dishes you can make with this one simple food is beyond bounds. I, myself can make around 15 different Maggi dishes. And I'm open to more ok. I LOVE experimenting food. The saddest part has to be when it got banned for brief time in India. I vividly remember actually sobbing and looking at people selling the ₹10 packets for 100 bucks and people actually bought it! Nothing beats the feeling when they actually came back to the market and I finally got a packet.  Maggi is something that doesn't have a specific ti
