This ACKNOWLEDGEMENT!!!! Absolutely!

I mean Veer Pratap Singh, even before his patient suffering in imprisonment, set the standards for true love and respect in a relationship for me.

No hate towards Kjo's writing, but Kal ho na Ho's boi doesn't come as close.

Also agree on the other two. Haven't watched DDLJ, can't comment.

Say what you will about Yash Chopra and Aditya Chopra movies but they know how to write SRK characters in a way that is so gentle and loving that I’ve never seen before in my life and nobody else can do it like them GOD DAYUM

There is a face beneath this mask, but it isn't me. I'm no more that face than I am the muscles beneath it, or the bones beneath that.

Exactly that last line in her post was more of a last nail in triggering fury-induced aneurysm in me.

I do maintain that partly why Israel is losing the PR war is that they can’t stop the IDF acting like fucking idiot monsters on instagram and tiktok.

Makes you wonder what would have happened if social media had been a thing during the Iraq war.

just wanted to ask, what is wrong with the amish.tripathi books? I'm curious to know

Nothing is "wrong" per se. It's just that they're not exactly my cup of tea. They're kind of tropey and clichéd, for me. I won't deny that the author tries to incorporate creative elements or venture into the unknown territory. It's just that in whatever sphere it is- research or creative elements, characterization, world-building etc. the author doesn't venture too far from the tested path. It often feels like some stereotypical fantasy retelling with the same stock characters with a sprinkle of south Asian culture into them. And I don't really blame the author for that. The genre he's working with is still quite untested as an arena in India, it involves substantial risk. He sure as anything is trying to go for something new while sticking to the safe path but that's kinda off-putting for someone who desires something avant-garde. And it's slightly annoying when they tout the same old thing as a "fresh" perspective, every single time.(And this applies to most mythological retellings, not just Amish's books)

And by this I'm not dissing those that love Amish tripathi's book. I made that ask to papenathys because I wanted something that suited my personal preferences.
