Just Be Home



I want to hold you forever,
till the end,
When your hairs sieved the sunlight
every single time,
I used to brush it.
I never got a chance to ask you
How do you feel about me,
But I knew you had the same feelings hidden in you.
Ashamed, you said we were friends 
on vacation in Vienna,
And brothers in Paris.
No, we are not friends or brothers
But you are my lover,
Do you think the way I think?
When you lied about your love life
Your eyes refused to look mine.
You were not certain,
You were afraid to confirm.
I remember the day you walked into
my life,
Saying you liked my Hawaiian shirt.
It's okay if you don't remember,
It's okay if you are afraid.
While we all chase the love,
we go for the perfect,
For the easy life.
But I cannot forget the love in your eyes for me,
entangled in the trauma of perfection.
Your words always brought the winter before me,
Like a bird, I felt my flight.
I pray that you realise your heart,
I will be here for you,
waiting in my old cabin.
Just be home, and don't run away.
I will be here for you,
We can pick up the pieces together,
Not as friends or brothers
But something more than that,
Which you are free to name.
Don't hide or run away,
Just be home,
I promise to keep you close.

The Women of Rifle Club

Over the decades, Malayalam cinema has often used female characters to uphold male protagonists, reinforcing the power dynamics in favor of men. This pattern, normalized and celebrated as long as the hero “wins” the situation, has shaped narratives for years. However, in recent times, audiences have begun to unlearn this ingrained bias, recognizing it as something that needs to be critiqued rather than celebrated.  Aashiq Abu’s Rifle Club breaks away from this mold, igniting the fiery tension of a wild war in the Western Ghats. What sets this film apart is its portrayal of women— each female character is uniquely strong and layered, claiming her identity with confidence. From being mocked for being “just a woman” to owning the scene, characterisations of women in Malayalam cinema are beginning to emerge as unstoppable forces. Society often perpetuates the stereotype that women, being emotional, are inherently weaker or less stable in grave situations. Instead, the movie shows that ...

We All Lost a Friend Today -The World Will Miss You , Chandler Bing

“Hi, I'm Chandler. I make jokes when I'm uncomfortable" might be the perfect introductory sentence to Chandler Bing. He is undoubtedly one of the best characters in the show who captured our hearts and imagination with his good looks, charm and wit. I remember growing up, watching the show, loving the characters and loving Chandler Bing a bit more. It’s unfortunate and heartbreaking to think of  his demise. The timely sarcastic dialogues and the complementing mannerisms made us all laugh with him. The sheer delight on his face when he can pass on a funny comment to his friends is nothing but a treat to eyes. His exemplary friendship with Joey,  his imperfectly perfect relationship with Monica , and every little sweet and awkward things that he does for his friends are something that we wish to have in real life. From a character having commitment issues and who was “…Hopeless And Awkward And Desperate For Love.”due to his struggled childhood to the one who starts a new lif...

The Fall of the House of Usher - A Sense of Insufferable Gloom

  Mike Flanagan is undoubtedly one of the best gothic television series makers of the contemporary industry. Flanagan’s The Haunting series, The Midnight Club and Midnight Mass are the much praised examples of his style and work. Adding to his finest collection is his adaptation of Edgar Alan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher”. Divided into 8 episodes the series is a brilliant and modern tribute to Poe’s most celebrated short story. While Poe’s story of Usher remains the heart of the series, it is unified to the body by attaching different organs based on other works of Poe including The Masque of the Red Death, Murder in the Rue Morgue, The Black Cat, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Raven, and many more. The nefarious Patriarch of the Usher family, Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood), whose legacy is maintained through his several wicked and selfish children , his equally ruthless twin sister Madeline (Mary McDonnell) who is loyal towards her brother and their opiate empire Fortuna...
