    What a delightful read! Chai, Camera and Karma pulled me in from the first page with its warm, relatable characters and the cosy chaos of Karma Films. Krishna, Radhika, and Arjun’s journey felt so real—those arguments over creative differences had me nodding along, remembering my own group projects gone wild! The way Chotu, the mischievous dog, steals the show with his antics is pure joy, and Grandma Komal’s wise, sassy comments add such a lovely touch. The tension with Bhanu kept me on edge, but how the team turns their mess into a masterpiece is inspiring. The blend of humour, heart, and Hyderabad’s chai-stall vibes made me smile and even tear up a little. I can’t wait to see what Krishna and Radhika cook up next—maybe with Chotu as the official co-director! A perfect mix of friendship, forgiveness, and fun! - highly recommend it!

SELFLESSNESS (A Tale of Che Guevara)

What makes Che Guevara different from other Revolutionaries?            In my point of view, Che is a Great Human being, rather than creating any boundaries around him, he wants to explore the world and cherish each and every moment. His "hunger to explore the world" led him to scatter his collegiate pursuits with two long introspective journeys that fundamentally changed the way he viewed himself and the contemporary economic conditions in Latin America. Che considered the whole world as One nation and referred the nation has ‘ Mother Earth ’. He never distinguished the people based on places or vice-versa whereas he believed that, " We should learn to think and act as a mass. It is crime to think as individuals ". This line of him state's that, Unity is his main aim.          In Chile, Che found himself enraged by the working conditions of the miners in Anaconda's Chuquicamata copper mine and moved by his overni...

Facts about Indian Independence day

 India Independence day 1. Do you know Indian flag was first hoisted on August 7, 1906 in Parsee Bagan Square (Green Park) in (now) Kolkata and not on Aug 15th 1947. 2. Do you know it was not Nehru but Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel who won the Prime Ministry elections fair and square but since Nehru didn't want to play second in command to anyone and also that Gandhi had a soft spot for Nehru, Sardar Patel was pulled down. 3. Until 1973, Governors unfurled the flag in states on Independence day but in 1974, M. Karunanidhi took up the issue with then central government and became the first chief minister to hoist the flag on Independence Day. 4. Most stunning fact is India's first Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru was featured in Vogue Magazine wearing his traditional coat and slowly his single breasted jacket became a Fashion trend in the West. 5. Prime Minister Narendra Modi broke a 26-year old tradition of not giving extempore speeches, which was established after Rajiv Gandhi call...

The Magic Wand "E-1"

' My First Encounter with The Magic Wand (Camera)' Hello there! Frankly speak ing, I have never been into stuff like writing blogs, but as they say, " there will always be the first attempt for everything ". So, here I am to share my story on how I entered this fascinating world of photography ? Well, my story is not different from what they portray in movies like those small towns, unknown people, and small families. Let me guess, you must have supposed that it's the story of a middle-class boy with petty worries and full of strange thoughts in mind. Being a kid from the late '90s, I never came across the magical device that many have dreamed about, never thought that it would change the world completely. I hope you people started thinking about it. Yes, you figured the right thing. I am talking about ' cell phones ' the real game-changer. I speculate some might laugh after listening that cell phones would change the world and be a part of human life....
