Post Master of None, Season 2

After finishing a fantastic second season of Master of None, started going through Ansari's Wikipedia page to come across that he has written book on something he was dealing with through his series. So I got the book and I've been reading Modern Romance- An investigation. Reading this, I'm kind of feeling that in a way we feel we're a generation who've seen the best of both, now I feel that we've lived the best now we're just turning into 'not so nice' people.
The way we play some form of competitive games over the various apps available to us, where the texts are a way to hide from the actual conversations or the way our personalities are judged over the way we use the dictionary, grammar, emojis and how we sound over a text. After some level there is an understanding dynamic between the two, but until then it's this uncertainty that might come off as confusion or in a judgemental form, might be a loss of something that could've would've should've happened. Even then after certain time, the way our minds react to a change in a routine and that inability to understand that change, to actually believe that someone could be busy to not look over texts becomes a myth, something that might come off as shocking. Yes, we live in that world.
We are at fault, somewhere- we're the ones who chose to go on this mission to simplify the way we lived over the internet and smartphones. The way when meeting a person would mean to go out or something that would just happen on its own, while you're living your life to the way, now it's either right or left. We're reducing the chaos physically by texting but increasing it mentally- I generally respond with a 'Huh' when someone talks to me, when I'm not expecting it. Because I've not heard to it, as I'm talking to myself about something or understanding some situation in my head. It's helping us take an alternative path towards most confrontations, where we chose to not talk but talk- because that's easier. We're the coolest generation but confused. I do feel bad for the upcoming generation that's growing up with a smartphone and an overdose of Chota Bheem and Oggy- what would their problems be? Glad we grew up exchanging greetings and actually going to shop to buy a gift and had Pokemon and Beyblade to entertain us- but now here we're fighting our Brutus's (fears, emotions) for an Olive Oyl( relationship) by taking in spinach ( technology) and failing at it. I think we need to find a new grocery store to get the Spinach ( also don't know whether the 'Chota Bheem' generation would get any of my reference when they read this )

Batman and Bananas

Bananas- The fruit most of us love. We consume the good of it and dispose the peel. Something that we ignore to notice is the way the peel makes people fall down, if not disposed rightfully. After extracting the good, if you leave it on the streets to decompose, it’ll get back on the human race by making someone slip for someone else’s action. This sounds like the story of every grey character towards the black end we’ve known- the bad guys- or the villains that we’ve come across. So who are the good guys? Bananas??- Maybe. So let’s talk about Batman, the universe with a quite a lot of grey characters. Batman was trained by mercenaries who wanted him to destroy Gotham, become a ‘peel’ to Gotham slip it off its course of downfall and mark a growth of a new civilization. But he does become a symbol, a symbol of ‘right’ among all wrongs- he becomes the peel in the dustbin. When the peel is in the dustbin, instead on the street- it’s in the right place, doing the right thing. Not on the ...

Where do the Oranges fall??

An orange falls from a tree- Not on Newton. No one wondered why she fell, like he did when the apple did. But everyone wondered whether the orange was orange or the orange was the orange. Is orange a color or a fruit or a color named after the fruit or the fruit named after the color?? How does orange look?? For me she looks orange, for you too she does- but my orange isn’t the same as yours. I might be color blind or you might be, or we both might not be- yet orange is orange today, but tomorrow or for someone else, she’s totally different. Once we make an attempt to accept all the confusions of her cover, we look closer, as she lets you into her world. As we get introduced to a new expression among the various others of her. The juicy vesicles that we consume each one of them having a quality of her own, mood of her own and having her own individual existence within. An aroma of her own that slows down the movement of sand into the other side of it. As we separate a vesicle, anothe...
