DIY: Set Up A Hydroponic Farm At Home

Nobody: A Movie Review

 

The film was initially released on 9th April 2021 on Amazon Prime, during the lockdown this year. However, as the covid situation settled (read debatable), and the country began its multiphase unlocking, the movie has been re-released in cinemas, and interestingly removed from Amazon Prime. Exactly what were the distributors/producers thinking, hell if I know! I managed to catch the film probably a day before it was removed and thought I’d share a quick review, in case any of you were planning to see the film in theaters.

How To Make Your Desk A Better Place To Work From | WFH Edition

 

No one could have predicted that a mere virus would bring the whole world to its knees! Millions of people have been affected personally and professionally in the last two years, and the end is still not in sight. The worldwide pandemic has brought about many changes in our day-to-day lives. Whether it be the compulsion to wear masks whenever we set foot outside our door or even the limitations on getting out of our homes. Long-lasting lockdowns and restrictions on large gatherings in any public place have become the norm. And this includes all workplaces too. Other than essential services, nearly all workplaces have had to get their employees to work from home. What started as a precautionary measure expected to last a short while has lasted for more than one and a half years now. Initially, people started working from makeshift spaces in their homes. Whether it be a small table, the dining table, or even small laptop tables sitting on the bed! But as time went on and there is still no end in sight to this situation, the jugaad workspaces were no longer cutting it. While many offices have opened, the new norm is a blended working mode; wherein you can work at the office and from home on a roster basis. This calls for a more permanent setting at home, from where you can work, efficiently and productively. While the office vs home ambiance will always be separate, your workstation can be similar or even more as per your liking if you want; and that’s what this post explains.

In The Earth: A Movie Review

 

We didn’t get to see many films from the horror or thriller genre during the covid lockdown(s). Mostly because such movies require a lot of technical work to achieve convincing and thrilling imagery shots at specific shooting locations. But this was no hindrance to director Ben Wheatley who announced in September 2020 that he had written and directed ‘In The Earth’ in just 15 days. The movie was first released at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2021. This is a rare film that displays warnings for flashing lights and triggers warnings for epilepsy. And you better take these seriously. Because it’s hard to even look at the screen through slit eyes once those flashes get going!
