Reading List

When I was younger I used to read every chance I got: during classes, in the car, and definitely at the dining table. As I grew older it became too easy to get distracted by my phone, or whatever was on TV. I essentially stopped reading for many years. Now finally, as I finish up my school education, I'm restarting my old habit of always having a book at hand.

Watch List

IMDb Watchlist

There was a long stretch where I didn't want to watch many TV shows or movies, and instead opted to watch sports or play video games. In November 2021, my friend and I took on a challenge to finish all of Shah Rukh Khan's movies (in my option the best Indian actor of the 90s-00s). As someone who grew up watching more Bollywood than Hollywood, this was way more appealing than watching all of, say, Tom Cruise's movies.

So we started binging his movies, taking a long break during finals week and the holidays. Over winter break I also started watching older Bollywood movies, not necessarily with Shah Rukh Khan. Currently, I'm also binging Juhi Chawla movies, as I think she's a fantastic actress.
