My Review of the Movie: Challengers
I’ve been waiting for another Luca Guadagnino film, and Challengers was absolutely worth the wait. It’s a masterclass in storytelling, where emotions unravel slowly, and by the time the tension peaks, you realize you’ve been holding your breath. It reminds me of that classic storytelling technique—showing a gun in the first scene and later using it for […]
My take on the book “Feel Good Productivity” by Ali Abdaal

My take on the book- How To Not Die Alone by Logan Ury
What an exciting title! I am sure you are thinking the same. I listened to a podcast on which Logan Ury was a guest speaker.
