  Marvel to the rescue   June came. Half of 2021 got over. After my call with Uzumaki, I applied for a bunch of companies. But I couldn’t be able to get myself to prepare for the interviews. The JAVA that I worked in my project few months ago felt like years and I couldn’t be able to think like a coder does. As a result, I started procrastinating again. But this time, I didn’t want to waste sitting idly and staring at the walls like I did for the most of May. I didn’t want to read any more books too. So, I planned to resume watching Brooklyn 99 (I stopped watching it since it spoiled me the death of Cedric Greggory from Harry Potter) as I finished reading the Harry Potter series. It was finally June and I started watching the MCU movies in the release order starting from Iron Man. And weirdly I started preparing myself for the interviews. Somehow, I decided that being in IBM would never be helpful for me and watching MCU movies stabilized me from all those f...

The Reveal It all started in the month of March.  Okay. I don’t want to be boring. May – I watched all the Harry Potter movies and read all Sen Balan Novels June – I watched all MCU movies and series till date (Canon) July – I started attending Interview August – I got offer in Infosys  September – I am writing this motherfucking post. I started working @ IBM on June 17, 2019. The initial training was very good, and I learned a lot. But I got a project in an app where the main work I did was support. Then I got 3 to 5 months of development work in the middle of 2020. By the end of 2020, I got assigned to analyse the root cause of issues for permanently solving certain issues.  The application I worked on is End to End Flow Management system (EFMS) and its an AT&T application. I joined this project on October 2019 and the end date for me in that project was March 2021. I planned to work on a different project after I completed this one....

  I love adult comedies. It was 2018. I guess. My friend Naveen shared me a video. A guy is speaking vulgar words and it was funny as fuck. And the shock is, it was a Tamil video. It was a rare thing to happen. Tamil YouTube was already boomed and was rising at a study rate during 2016 and 2017. I came to know about Madan Gowri in my 3rd Semester and in 2018, he became a huge success. And other cringe love channels like Mic Set, Unakennappa were also booming. It was around that time, I happened to watch a YouTube channel. It was Plip Plip.  I am a sucker for anything that had adult content. Be it, sex, drugs, or gore. Speaking of gore, I watched a fun gore movie called Braindead on the first week of April. Braindead (1992)     This is a vampirish movie with a lot of gore. Even as I am writing this sentence, the climax gore fest is popping in my mind. This is a kind of gore, where the story is not important, but the gore is. And in ...

End is always the beginning of something new! I love this saying because, in a weird way, it is pessimistically optimistic (well! I said it was a weird one).  And this time around, in my life, I kind of hated this saying. I don’t want it to end. But sometimes, some things have to end to give way for new beginnings. So… It's time to say goodbye to IBM. August 2 It was a normal Monday like any other Monday. Ever since I started doing this work from home, Mondays never felt like a MONDAY!  But that Monday was a different one.  My friends shot a short film that previous week. And the director of that short film, NSK, was working on editing the footage we had shot in a single day. He was in the ending stages of his editing work and asked me to give some ideas on editing. I helped him with the cinematography of that movie and gave him ideas on the script. I am planning on writing about that crazy short film adventure in a separate post but let me focus on this MOTHERFUCKING MON...

Podcast Parithabangal I started April by going to the theatre. Godzilla Vs. Kong had got released in the town and I booked the ticket on a whim. It was the evening show of April 1, 2021. I guess I took sick leave that day to watch that movie. I was too bored to work that day and planned to go to theatres. I was so happy when I heard this movie was playing in the theatres. But the real shock came when I went inside the theatres. I was the only one watching that movie that evening. I booked for the English version and got shocked to realise that I was the only one booked the ticket to see the English version of an English movie. But sooner a couple came and that’s it. They sat behind me and we three watched that movie that evening. Godzilla Vs. Kong (2021) I didn’t expect this movie to be good as I thought it would. It exceeded my expectation. I had watched King Kong movies before, but they didn’t satisfy me. I watched Godzilla animated series in cartoon network as a kid. ...
