Sucker Punched & Loving It

-

Written for IMDb, shared with love here.

So I recently caught Battle: Los Angeles and while heading up the escalator, a massive poster for Sucker Punch caught my eye—complete with schoolgirl outfits, swords, and serious attitude. It screamed kick-ass fantasy, and I couldn’t help but wonder: “Is this going to be as wild as it looks?”

Fast forward to today—I watched it. And yep, it delivered exactly what it promised. Chicks. Guns. Katanas. Giant robots. Explosions. All wrapped up in a high-octane visual fantasy. Think Sailor Moon meets Call of Duty, with a heavy splash of anime aesthetics. If you’re into gaming or anime and fall somewhere in the 15–30 age group, chances are you'll eat this up. For everyone else—this might just feel like a chaotic fever dream.

To be clear, this isn’t a film where logic takes center stage. It’s a fantasy role-playing spectacle, and to really enjoy it, I’d recommend leaving your brain at the door and just going along for the ride. The action sequences are stunning, the visuals are drenched in stylized color, and Zack Snyder (the man behind 300 and Watchmen) once again flexes his imagination to bring something bold and unique to the screen.

Now, let’s talk soundtrack—absolutely killer. The music is atmospheric, edgy, and fits the film’s tone perfectly. I was hooked from the opening track to the credits roll.

One thing I kept asking though: “Why isn’t this in 3D?” With visuals like this, it could’ve been a full-blown treat. But hey, can’t have it all.

Final verdict?
7.5/10 – for fans of fantasy, visual storytelling, and good old-fashioned escapism.

Back here again , with not so much of time on my hands ... but im writing so i can fill this blog with something productive for people to read and be inspired lolx . The past month and the current one has really been difficult for me . Im going through alot of stuff right now , and at the age of 22 i was not really expecting to get white hair this quick , or to undergo so much of pressure in one shot .Something like TEQUILA , excepts tequila gets better with every shot you take . "Can i retire ? ? Hello is anyone listening " Anyhow, my ipod was lying idle and i guess i was using it more as an external storage for data rather than using it for music, which apparently it was made for . So i got these awesome pair of jvc headphones and i decide to pick my ipod once again and download some music onto and fire it up in my ear . I have over 150 songs , well not much . I know your'll have more than me, so i don't want to boast . But that's besides the point ...

Home – A Reflection in Chaotic Time

-
Ladies and gentlemen, tragedies unfold every day—yet what we see and hear is curated by the media. They decide what gets coverage, driven by the promise of TRPs. And unfortunately, we’ve become conditioned to respond only to what trends. I'm not a sensationalist reporter here to deliver breaking news, nor am I trying to dramatize this post. If there’s emotion, blame the heart. Have you picked up a newspaper recently? Surely, “Game of Thrones” isn’t the only conversation happening at your workplace watercooler. Flip through any daily and you're bound to find pain—accidents, deaths, medical mishaps, or yet another looming pandemic. There’s grief. And then there’s life. But do we really celebrate life? Not often. You know who does? Cancer patients. They celebrate life in ways many of us forget to. That’s what brings me to the point of this piece: Home . Today, home feels like the safest place in the world—our haven, our escape, our constant. In a world shaken by airline crashes...

A Messy Life, Well Lived

-
We spend so much of our lives trying to bring order to chaos. We create clocks, calendars, weather apps—little systems to help us believe we’re in control. But really, how much of life is truly under our control? What if we chose to live in a reality entirely of our own making? Are there really 31 or 30 days in a month… or should they all just be 28? Who decided a day has 24 hours anyway? Why can’t summer be monsoon? What if orange is actually green, and green is blue? We accept these frameworks without question. But once in a while, it’s worth breaking away from the routine—to rewrite the rules, even if just for a day. I try to run my life. Is it in order? Honestly, probably not. But here's the kicker: I kind of like the chaos. I thrive in a life that’s equal parts messy and structured. Still, there are moments when being sharp, focused, and organized makes all the difference. The question is: with all the resources you have—time, energy, ideas—are you really us...
