I wish the world and especially schools had more acceptance for all kinds of people and more respect for everyone's individuality. I wish adults modeled that for us kids to learn the same. I do have some good memories too (will probably write about them in another post). I'm very grateful to know some people I met in school. They have been genuinely kind and loving to me. 🌼 I'll miss the building, I'll miss the routine. School had become a habit, and habits are hard to do away with. But a major part of my memories of school are the ones that I didn't deserve. But they’ll always remain with me. They teach me how not to behave with others. . . . . . . . . #introversion #schoolmemories #introvertstruggles #madewords #poeticreveries_ #thegoodquotes #thegoodword #cosmosofwriters #apoeticview #wordswithqueens #herheartpoetry #writersuniverse #writersgram #introvertquotes #poemofig #igpoem #quotegram #thoughtsinwords #poeticthoughts https://www.instagram.com/p/CeQ1tG9ppx7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Review of: “Leave the World Behind”

Leave the World Behind (2023) Writers: Rumaan Alam, Sam Esmail Directed by: Sam Esmail Stars: Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, Kevin Bacon IMDB Rating: 6.5/10 Stars Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score: 35% Runtime: 2 hours, 20 minutes Full Plot Spoilers Ahead, You Have Been Warned...

Amanda Sandford, who's not big on people, decides to take her family on a surprise weekend trip to a vacation rental. It's supposed to be a nice family bonding time with her husband Clay and their kids, Archie and Rose. While they're out shopping for groceries, Amanda notices some guy stocking up on a ton of canned food and water. Later, while they're chillin’ at the beach nearby, they see a skyscraper-sized oil tanker crash onto the beach right in front of them. When they get back to the rental house, they realize the TV and Internet are not working, and there are some deer staring at them. That night, the owner of the house, George H. ("G.H.") Scott, and his daughter, Ruth, show up, saying there's a blackout and they need a place to stay. The blackout was why they returned to the home. Amanda's not too sure about them, but Clay's like, "Sure, why not?" Later, emergency alerts start popping up on TV. The next morning, Rose is bummed because she can't watch the last episode of "Friends" without Internet or TV. Amanda gets a bunch of news alerts on her phone, saying there's a blackout on the whole East Coast and maybe it is because of hackers. Rose notices more deer hanging around outside. Clay goes to town to try and find out what is happening, while G.H. goes to his neighbor's house to check things out. Clay runs into a Spanish-speaking lady and sees some weird leaflets in Arabic falling from a drone. G.H. finds a satellite phone at the neighbor's place and figures out there's something wrong with the satellites. He also discovers a crashed plane on the beach while dodging another that is crashing right on top of this one. Meanwhile, Rose and Archie find an empty shed in the woods, and Archie gets rid of a tick that is biting his ankle. When they get back, G.H. tells Amanda about what he found, but they get interrupted by a loud noise that stuns them all. Amanda remembers the guy stocking up on supplies, who G.H. thinks is his contractor, Danny. Clay comes back freaked out by the leaflets, and they decide to try to go to Amanda's sister's place in New Jersey, but they get stuck in traffic as the interstate is clogged with empty and collided brand-new self-driving Teslas; which they narrowly avoid more incoming Tesla cars continuing to drive themselves without drivers into the pile-up, and are forced to return to G.H.'s house. During the night, Ruth and Clay have a deep talk and get distracted by seeing flamingos in the pool. Amanda and G.H. start getting along, but then there's another loud noise and the power goes out. Rose tells Amanda a story from "The West Wing." The next morning, Archie's teeth begin to fall out for no reason. G.H. thinks it's because of the tick bite and suggests they go see Danny for help. Rose disappears, so G.H. and Clay take Archie to Danny’s while Amanda and Ruth look for Rose. They find a bunch of deer at the shed that freak them out. At the same time, G.H. and Clay have an armed standoff as they talk to Danny, who tells them about microwave weapons, makes a deal for meds and sends them to a bunker nearby. Shaken, G.H. thinks as he discusses with Clay and Archie on the basis of his work with military contractors that the country is in a three-stage campaign leading to a progressive-breakdown of social order and resulting in coup d'état or possible civil war in the United States. Amanda and Ruth see New York City getting bombed. Rose finds the bunker, flips on the generator for power. She finds a collection of DVDs that includes the entire “Friends” run and decides to watch the last episode as a computer screen in the background displays a message that warns of attacks by rogue military elements and elevated radiation levels across multiple U.S. cities. Rose gets to watch her last show while the United States burns as the screen cuts to black ending the movie.

I am late to the party with this movie. I didn’t watch it right away when it came out. Took me a few months to get to it as I was watching the entire series/movies/return series run of “TWIN PEAKS.” When you watch “Twin Peaks” you gotta finish it first right? It’s a mind-FK on what the hell is actually going on with that show. So “Leave the World Behind” (2023) I liked… It has issues, sure, but all-in-all it’s a decent watch. My issues are minor, but some of them could be semi-major. While trying to be as realistic as possible it actually seems a little hokey how the characters mesh during the film, but there are some real good moments in and outside of that. 'The not knowing' really saves this movie. Would love to see the same movie, but from Kevin Bacon's character of Danny’s point of view. The end sequence of New York City has a semi-massive mushroom cloud. Too small to be a H-bomb but big enough to still be in the atom bomb family. Does this make sense to anyone else? Is anyone else seeing the same thing I saw at the end? There were no loud sonic booms or blast wave happening moments before. From where they are they would have absolutely felt and heard an atomic explosion, even in the kiloton range over megaton. If it were an A-bomb level explosion the cloud is probably an hour to three hours old. They would have suspected something. To just walk in the woods nearby and discover this huge mushroom cloud in New York City doesn't seem plausible to me. Since the movie is supposed to be ground in our current reality it takes some pretty big liberties, both for positive and negative storytelling probes.

Some Internet theories were saying Aliens…

Aliens? Not the worst theory here. My issue with aliens here is that some people knew this was coming within the confines of the story being told here. I do not think aliens and that knowing would align in a more plausible way than say, a possible rouge AI… I feel like this is how a rouge AI would attack the U.S. though. Why does everyone believe it will happen as if this was “Terminator” or “the Matrix?” Destroying everyone and everything. Killing off humanity in a nuclear fireball would destroy this planet’s ability to host technology to support AI to begin with. The idea of destroying a country with a largely intact infrastructure would be the way to go. Like the machines said in "The Matrix;" "There are levels of survival we are prepared to accept.” ~The Architect. I feel like this movie could exist inside the continuity of "the Matrix" in a way. After the initial attack the machines would need humans to help rebuild and execute the machine's instructions. This could even come from a human-puppet leader, like G.H. Scott's mysterious client. Like they said in the film; ‘America has made a lot of enemies.’ In all seriousness I do not believe these enemies, even United, could take down America in this fashion. Even the Alex Garland film “Civil War” (2024) – where a modern-day United States descends into another Civil War. In order for a plan like this to actually work in “Leave the World Behind” (2023) there would have to be a considerable amount of inside help. Computer-wizards, CIA people and technology verse a largely sleeping Federal Government. There was one news blast in “Leave the World Behind” (2023) that said the White House was under attack by rouge US forces. That made me think. How long would it take under an attack of this nature for our own Generals to begin to seize power, be it for our own good, their own ego and motivations or perhaps part of the plan itself?

In “Leave the World Behind”(2023) it was roughly 24 hours…

So much could have been taken into account and they do not go anywhere with any of it. The kid losing teeth, the animals behaving strangely, the flirting and dancing. I just feel like this was a super great idea with too much passive-progressive-woke takes over going in more direct and logical, real human direction on something like this. I doubt in real life G.H. Scott would keep any of this a secret. The second he knew the world would never be the same again, in a literal sense, things would have taken a more serious and deadly tone. I can give the movie a solid 7 out of 10 stars for effort and tension. A lot of things are left kind of vague. What caused the whole apocalypse, what the Spanish lady was saying, Archie's teeth, and the deal with the secret cabal? The movie doesn't come right out and say it, but it's all about uncertainty and misinformation during a blackout. The message seems to be about sticking together in tough times and not turning against each other. The lady speaking crazy in Spanish talking about some pretty intense stuff, like seeing a plane spraying red gas and feeling lost. We do not get subtitles to know exactly what she's saying, but it adds to the overall feeling of uncertainty and chaos. Then there's the whole deal with the flyers dropping from the sky. Maybe it's a warning, maybe it's a threat, maybe it’s total bullshit, we're not totally sure. It just adds to the confusion and tension. G.H. mentions ‘cabal’ as a joke, but it could be a hint at something more sinister. Maybe someone or something took control when the world was in chaos, leading to even more problems, and Archie's teeth falling out? That's a weird one. It could be from some bug, microwave energy weapon or radiation in the area. Whatever it is, it's not good news. The movie leaves a lot of things up in the air, but that's part of what makes it so interesting and horrifying. It's all about uncertainty and how we deal with it, both in the movie and in real life.

It is an interesting premise though and who is to say how humans would behave when/if the world goes to shit for real. It is bound to at some point. Why not now or soon… If we believe the BS-news and shooty-political takes we are well on our way. I have been saying for years; “just give me a nice spot on the beach so I can sit and watch the world burn.”

My younger one started school this month. She had been home far longer than expected and so this development was welcome and a bit surreal. On the day we, she and I, went to check out schools at some point she walked into a classroom and refused to come out. There wasn't a farewell or a goodbye kiss. Hell, I could have done even with a lingering glance. Between her and I, it was me whom her principal was counselling. 😂 I guess this is how birds fly from home- one day nestled between your wings, chittering away a thousand stories and the next soaring towards their own skies, unbelievably certain, unwittingly innocent. So the first day I stayed till school got over. The second too- what if she needed me? She didn't. I have a peninsula of calm that I didn't know how to explore. I didn't remember the last time I had an hour to myself. Now half a day, stretches before me. I haunt the cafes around when the kids are in school. Surprisingly, my part of the city is generous to its artists. I nurse just a mere cup of coffee and read and write and no one disturbs me- they don't present the cheque, they don't even ask if I want something else. They leave me alone. Absolutely. One even offered to open its doors at 8 am, if only I could get going that early. I was speechless, just a smut of a smile in lieu of such indulgence. But then again I shouldn't have been shocked- I have survived in life mostly on the kindness of strangers and generosity of their acts, each one so magnanimous in its thought and effort. And so, I also thank you- for being in my circle of life. When I started out, it was only with the intent to chronicle my reading journey. To find people to whom stories and words mattered. Who would share a part of their life in responding to what I wrote here. Thank you for indulging me. #writingjourney #writersuniverse #bookblogger #bookishthoughts #bookstagramnewbie #bookcollector #bookobssesed #coffeeandbooks #delhibookstagrammer #delhibookstafam #indianbookstagram #indianreader #indianbookstagrammer #booksandwriting #bookstagramfeatures #readersread #alwaysreading #neverwithoutabook #nevernotreading #indianwriters #bookishflatlay #raw_books (at Delhi, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgCUZoGrArb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We would talk about music over coffee and hold hands at a movie. Then I realized my daydream sounded like a silly pop song. He never did anything beyond nodding in my general direction. I wanted to grab him by the hoodie strings and kiss him. Every time I thought of doing it, I chickened out. I didn’t even know his name. So, what did I do? I clung to those nods, our little exchange. “I'm pathetic,” I murmured. 💛💛💛 #bookishallure #bookstagrammersunite #darkacademiapost #fantasybooks #bookishcommunity #authorcommunity #instagrambooks #fantasyauthor #fantasynovel #authorsofig #darkacademiafeed #ilovewriting #darkacademiavibes #darkacademiaaesthetics #urbanfantasy #darkacademiabooks #darkacademiaaesthetic #darkacademiamoodboard #authorgram #bookishglee #writersuniverse #writingabook #writersclub #fantasywriter #fantasyfiction ##writerswritesnippes #moodboardaesthetic #friendshipgoals #makingfriends (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnoem1dOPaE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Buenas tardes, hoy les traigo un nuevo poema que recién termine, trata sobre como a veces perdemos la integridad y dejamos de ser nosotros mismos, nos perdemos y ya no volvemos a confiar ni en nosotros ni en los demás.

También espero que este escrito ayude a personas que estén pasando por lo mismo, porque no es agradable pasar por este tipo de cosas y hay que tener esperanza en que pasara. Gracias por leer y espero que estén teniendo un feliz domingo, hasta luego!!

Integridad perdida

He vuelto a sentirme angustiado,

A estar tan devastado y quebrado.

He intentado caminar rencores,

Pero me culpo por tantos errores.

Recorro las calles de la ciudad,

Sintiendo un peso entre mis hombros.

La gente me juzga al pasar (o eso creo),

Y se va mi integridad sin cesar.

Cuando vuelvo a mi oscuro dolor,

Me acuesto en un lugar desolador.

En un frio donde me arrepiento

Del mal que provoque en un momento.

Intento salir de este gran temor,

Pero las obsesiones son lo peor.

Estoy atado por esta confusión,

Y no puedo encontrar este perdón.

Siento pena por la distracción

Que carcome mi herido interior.

Por perder la importante atención,

Y desechar la grandeza del amor.

Estoy cansado de seguir luchando,

Mis emociones ya no me responden.

Los temores me siguen derrumbando,

Y lloro por todo este desorden.

Pero ya no quiero criticarme,

Ser negativo y muy pesimista.

Ya es hora de que deje de quejarme,

Y que sea alguien más neutralista.

No hare caso a las distracciones

Que piensan que soy débil e inservible.

Tomare mis propias decisiones,

E iré por este mundo inteligible.

Nunca perderé mi inmensa lealtad,

La que me hace tener más respeto.

Nunca se ira de mi mente la bondad,

Mi alma seguirá viva, lo prometo.

No vine para perder las buenas cosas,

Pues soy una gran luz en este camino.

No hare caso a las voces confusas,

Y andaré sin fin por mi destino.

THE STORM, THE DEFIANCE AND THE CLASP OF LOVE

.

The storm meanly growled

As it rolled down in a hurry.

Impatient, needing to vomit out

Its rage.

The wind howled at the last

evening star as it scurried

to hide in the folds of dark.

Reprimanding menacingly

its audacity to even want to

Stand its ground.

You and I sat huddled in a hug.

In a circle of clutching embrace.

The more the storm tore,

The more it ripped

The tighter you bestowed upon

Me your grace.

You and I.

I glued my skin to yours,

Tightly shut my eyes

And held on to you for life.

You and I.

My heart raced.

Our bodies teetered.

Skin turned blue underneath

Our fuss.

The rain lashed down.

Stinging, big, violent rain drops

Bullets spluttering in rage

We squealed half in pain

Half in joy.

You and I.

In the center of the storm.

Looking to hide in its eye.

There is something terrifying

About a storm

When you be alone.

Something doom like

Ominous, grey and absolute.

Quite the same as loneliness.

Surrounded by so much chaos

Yet incapable of feeling itself.

But with you wrapped around me

I felt the insane joy that came

From teetring on a thrill

Defying gravity and its horrors.

You and I.

I felt everything.

I felt the shivers of ice.

I felt the pounding windforce.

I felt the arrowtips of black rain.

I felt the needles piercing my veins.

Every sensation, an acute knife tip.

The billowing, the screeching,

And the night digging its

heels in to stay longer with itself.

You and I.

Like I, clinging to you as does vine.

Complete on my own, just as the vine.

Like absoluteness of a half,

Complete in itself,

If you can stop your needy, wanting mind.

But whole, full bodied

in your shelter.

Like leaned on strength.

You and I.

Keeping the vine upright.

With your pillared fierceness.

Giving its roots your ferocity.

Against havocking

madness of this storm.

.

Review of: “Seveneves”

Seveneves (2015) Writers: Neal Stephenson Release Date: May 19, 2015 Awards: 2016 – Nominated, Hugo Award for Best Novel. Won, Prometheus Award for Best Novel. Film Adaptation: 2016 – Skydance Media and Imagine Entertainment own the rights with screenwriter William Broyles Jr., director Ron Howard, and producer Brian Grazer attached to the project. 2024 – No updates other than the 2016 announcement. Audiobook Runtime: Roughly 38 hours.

Spoilers Ahead, You Have Been Warned...

Plot: Set in a near-future Earth facing imminent destruction due to a catastrophic event: the sudden disintegration of the moon. The story follows humanity's desperate struggle for survival as they race against time to escape Earth's impending doom. The novel is divided into three parts: the initial effort to preserve human civilization in orbit, the struggle to rebuild society after the cataclysm, and a distant future where humanity has evolved and adapted to life in space.

This audiobook was 30+ hours of technical babble, and while a good book and idea, I ultimately did not care for how the story flowed. I oftentimes blanked out while listening to this over long stretches. It has some really great stuff in it, but lacks decent characterization. Four major plot holes that many other reviews keep saying is “ambiguous,” but I argue, “no, these are plot holes…”

Plot hole – 1) The Agent – The event that shatters the Moon. They do not know what caused it or what it really was, but all the book is willing to dive into and was willing to discover was something very small, moving very fast. struck the moon at the core and shattered it. The book states it was heavily investigated, but they couldn’t really figure it out if it was an act of malice by an outside the Earth influence or not, (aliens or act of GOD/god)… To me, this just doesn’t work. I just fail to understand how humanity just gives up on the search of the cause but uses the reality of what comes next to just write that problem away.

Plot hole – 2) The Mars Mission – A small group of humans break off the swarm of human survivors and attempt to travel to Mars to start anew there. It’s never mentioned again. We do not know what happened to this group. They take a few lines to discuss it but come to the conclusion they do not have the resources to make the trip and will die out due to all of this in short order. As I said, it is never mentioned again, even after the third part of the book that takes place 5,000 years later.

Plot hole – 3) JBF not being punished for war crimes against humanity – Julia Bliss Flaherty, mostly referred to as ‘JBF’. She is President of the United States during the early parts of the story. A combination of Trump/Biden/narcissistic-sociopath, who is guilty for nuking a country and responsible for the deaths of 99.5% of all surviving humans. She violates the international accord, that no world leaders will save themselves, by saving herself, fleeing to the ISS aboard a stolen Boeing X-37, along with Pete Starling, her science advisor. JBF attempts to reassert her leadership and persuades a large number of Cloud Ark survivors to abandon the ISS/Swarm. JBF loses control fast and a war ensues among the dissents. This leads to JBF directly being responsible for the death of nearly all of what is left of the human race, beside the handful of survivors. The second she started to become a social problem she should have been ejected out of the airlock. It was agreed nothing of the old world was to rule over this new one.

Plot hole – 4) The Purpose – Basically, it is the spacer’s religion but it isn’t really clear as to what the purpose is and what it is all about. It’s just left open to interpretation which is what is wrong with this whole plot.

The most interesting aspects are left, not even to the imagination, but rather briefly talked about as if they are uber-important; then just left unanswered, nor do the main characters even care about answering those questions, which, like I said, are the most interesting aspects of the book.

This book would be perfect for the modern-day woke-feminist, with most of, if not all, the character leads being female and all of them being extremely one dimensional and hypersensitive (modern-day woke-feminist). I am not even saying that to be disrespectful. I am saying it because that is what the females act like in this book. They are all full of crap about how they perceive each situation and how their decision making is based on subjective feelings, which would be the worst thing to do while working in space in the real world. You do not have time to get emotional working on and living on the ISS for real and this book tries to be based on a real reality. So just calling a spade a spade there. I immediately related these characters to these attributes. Granted this book was written in 2014-2015. Its 2024 now. It is easy to retrospectively say this and it make sense now, but then, I might have saw the characters in a different light. We live in different times and it isn’t even that long ago.

I do not know if I would ever trust Neal Stephenson again with another story. I mean, the book isn’t terrible. It is good. There is a story about the struggle for survival there. It has some really great stuff going on here. I just think it wasn’t executed very well from a storytelling point of view. Others have read this and loved it. I did like it but thought it was wordy, slow and poor characterization. These issues were deal breakers for me. If a movie ever does comes out. I hope they leave all that messy stuff out of the story and tackle the things that were actually interesting about the story. Tackle these four plot holes to make better sense. Make us care about the characters. Give them some real backstory. Also, who the FK blew up the Moon to begin with?

….GOLDEN….

When my pallid turns vivid . I will fly with you When this will turn pallid I will turn to create your world vivid When day grows into your reason to fret, I will become your wonderland When life forces you to lament I will lead you to a reason to laugh again When everything follows dark I’ll be your never ending golden When ocean chills will mock I’ll be your flare of warmth When trouble of waves will out march Then I’ll soak and expunge your every disregard When you will dive further into the bleaker side Then I will be your brighter end When silence will poison your every haven I will whisper to you from your window sill And be your shoulder to lean When hate seals your world, I will burn them with lovelorn rays When you will be lonesome I will be there with you at the end of the day To make your life golden again.

~Arushi Sahu

Thank you for reading my work. Love you all.

Here’s my another work to read… The Courtroom of Love Under the starlit sky and sea. medium.com
