Thank you guys@kaunhai and@LetsGetThisBread . Frankly, I have completed 5 shifts but not able to finish the first episode of first season. I got pride and prejudice vibes from its clips, but not anymore. Only feel sorry for poor Bates. 

Also@Villanelle , if you're into historical drama, you can't afford to not check out The Great (if you haven't watched it already). It's an "occassionally true story" about Catherine the great's accession and reign. Nothing like the crown, but very very very engrossing. Hulu.

@Admgenalanezh Now I actually need your recommendations to not accidentally watch those romantic fomo causing stuff.

Rejoined office.. Following the roster due to Covid.. So have to go on alternate days.. watched Witcher series. Lets see.. what else to watch..😄

Witcher 2 - not as good as 1 :(

Hmm [sighs]

Unpopular opinion: didn’t really like the Witcher. Had to force myself to sit through season 1 🙊


Henry cavil is a big brilliant dork which is the only reason why I sat through season 1, but even celeb crushes have their limits 😂

Yes to crushing on Henry Cavil 😍

that man is responsible for my obsession with fitness and bodybuilding :P I love him

Which monthly mag are you referring to?

I used to refer to vision but it is just getting too overwhelming with all the news in shorts stuff and putting everything under the sun in it. What could be a suitable replacement?

I checked out the forum one. It was short around 70-80 pages and neatly organised. However, in the intro, it was written that it would act as a supplement to ca class students and mgp ones. My concern is that if I am not a ca course student, would I miss any important issue which would have been covered by their ca course?

I have been referring to it. Don't think that you need to be a CA student. When I asked Sir what was the reason for mentioning it, he smiled and said - "It is a business decision.".

Thanks, it looks really time-saving and neatly organised!
Wondering if the business decision is meant to draw students towards the CA course or drive them away from magazine :P :P

Someone please suggest some good movies to watch ,esp in horror genre. Also ,koi separate thread ho iska toh btao ,i can't find any here . 

can check out haunting of the hill house and bly manor.


Thanks for this. 






Hill House is my all-time favourite show (even more than Mrs Maisel and the office, though they fall in a different genre altogether). It has a mix of everything- emotions, tragedy, horror, family bonds, love and amazing metaphors. Even after watching it for the 5th time, its beauty still remains unparalleled.
If you like it, you can check out the Reddit thread of it later. There, a user has written the background of each of the ghosts (more like their interlinked story/feud and how the house started feeding on the people).
But without that also, the story of Crains is way too engrossing in itself with the amazing cinematography.

If you want fun lighthearted, tier 2, “not quite Office” level of US comedy do check out Superstore on Netflix

The wheels of time was also very decent(though expected much more considering I have read that book). Rosamund pike holds the linchpin as Moraine around which other roles have done decent work. Rand Al Thor should have been some other energetic teen like Timothee Chalamet.

My attempt count is also on the higher side bro.

I sincerely wish you the best possible result for this year's exam.

It's hard to focus on another exam right after mains as it's emotionally very exhausting.
But we need to be pragmatic and create as many opportunities as possible for our career.

Give your best for the upcoming UPPSC. All the very best👍

Certainly,it is quite different from other horror movies nd series .Not just its story but also its screen play  is quite unique .

Though I m really enjoying it ( on 8th ep right now) ,i don't think I will try to watch it for 5 times😱 . In fact, once it is done,i will take double dose of Andaz apna apna nd Hera pheri to be normal,lol.

I bought netflix on Jan 17th . I didnt watch even a minute. Is there a word for too many choices making us indecisive? Will this thread judge me?
