Know Your Seniors

Be it tuition classes or any outing with my friends, I was always the one dressed up. It came from my mom. She loves clothes and her taste in clothing is impressive. I always wanted to make YouTube videos but never knew I wanted to be a fashion content creator. I began my journey as a makeup content creator, and soon realised I was terrible at it. But my styling was still good, and everybody praised me for being relatable, creative and giving them new ideas. So last year, I started a new chapter as a fashion content creator.

No, I would always pre-plan my videos and shoot them in advance if I knew I wouldn't have time for the next five days. My passion was almost crazy, so I never

skipped posting. It is just about managing time, and I did.

There are a lot of fashion influencers on social media. What do you do to make sure your content is unique and different?

Trust yourself. This journey is filled with loads of ups and downs, perhaps more downs. So, be ready for that. Keep your content relatable and self-explanatory. And stay consistent. You will achieve heights; just trust the process.

To keep my content separate from the crowd I keep certain things in mind; I don't follow the trends or content ideas that other influencers do. I try to keep it restricted to my brain and not to others. Following them would inadvertently make my content look like theirs, so I keep that very limited.

Knowledge, knowledge and knowledge. One should be sure of what one is posting online as anybody can get inspiration from that, and I don't want to promote false or half information. So, research before you post.

What according to you, are the key aspects of a good fashion blog?

Any advice for your juniors who want to be influencers like you?

The Woman in the Windowby A.J Finn

She called the police to talk about what she saw but she had nothing to

'The Woman in the window' is the debut novel of A.J Finn, in which the protagonist of the story, Dr Anna Fox, has not left her house for 10 months. She consumes medicines and alcohol on a regular basis and a small window in her house is the only connection she has with the outer world.

This psychological thriller has a very unique and out of the box plot full of twists and turns which will not let you keep the book aside. The story begins when new neighbours 'Russeles', a picture-perfect family of three, shifted in her locality. She is quickly attracted to them and always keeps on looking in the house. After a while, she started seeing weird things happening in their house. Owing to her mental state and medication she is not confident enough to believe what she saw and she has no one with whom she can share.

prove it and everyone considered that she was hallucinating. Gradually, a truth about her past is revealed due to which everyone is forced to believe that she is suffering from some mental disorder.

Days passed and she developed a good bond with their 17 years old son and asks him about that evening but he is very scared to tell anything.

A.J Finn has pen down this book withfull heart which makes it worthy tobe a bestseller.

But when she came to know about the truth of that evening, she found it very hard to digest it. The ending of the book will bind the mind of readers in a spiral and will leave a long-lasting impact. It is a must read for all the mystery lovers out there because of its strange storyline.

Ratings:

The film revolves around the clichéd Bollywood mantra of a poor guy trying to marry a rich girl and developing questionable scenario in the process. The ultimate coolie is played by Varun Dhawan with his loose character establishment and phony portrayal of Mithun Chakraborty, Shah Rukh

Unrealistic action scenes, weak punch lines, politically incorrect humour and stereotypical dialogues pretty much sum up Coolie No 1. The Amazon Prime Video release is a remake of the original film of 1995 with the same name but with a merit cast. The film is a collection of random impromptu scenes of an untraceable plot. It seems that Director David Dhawan has merely relocated the story to Goa, added a dash of luxurious mansions and colourful sceneries and assumed it to be an upgrade from the old version.

There is an attempt to save face with credible actors like Paresh Rawal (playing a rich but greedy businessman), Johnny Lever (playing a dumb but enthusiastic cop), Jaaved Jaaferi (a pandit seeking revenge) and Rajpal Yadav (a stuttering uncle). However, the repetitive twin storyline, mocking feminine behaviour and vague placing of songs makes one ponder over the two precious hours of one's life that are never coming back.

Khan, Dilip Kumar, and Salman Khan. The coolie pretends to be a billionaire to marry a rich girl (Sara Ali Khan) but ends up facing severe consequences.

It would be fair to rate the film with one out of five stars, as the audience would be compelled to tell Sara and Varun, “Tum Mujhe

Tang Karne Lage Ho”.
