The House of the Dragon.

 The House of the Dragon.

I just can not get over how ordinary this series is.

Game of thrones was a game changer in so many ways and inspired such frenzy in all of us. 

It was one of those rare series, which more people had watched, than had not watched!

Things could have ended better with it, I do agree.

But, then you would also have to admit that the Benioff-Weiss team set standards so high, that the flight had to experience some turbulence or even a rough landing.

It did!

But The House of the Dragon is a flight, which for me at least hasn't even achieved enough speed to take off! It is merely taxiing on the runway, with no clear set of instructions from the ATC.

It is bland and boring and now in episode 6, I am beginning to see more of Ekta Kapoor in it, than #GRRM.

If you think we #GOT fans were shortchanged with the last few episodes, be very sure that #HOTD, is the real travesty.

I didn't attempt to watch it at all when it was on Disney and even after its migration to Jio I was just not tempted, but having spent the better part of a recent holiday revisiting #GOT left me craving some #GRRM. And being bombarded with all the promos for the new season finally seduced me into watching this (if I may use the word) - abomination!

If you haven't already watched it or are planning to watch it do consider yourself duly warned!

Thappad

Thappad The prelude to the aria that is Thappad, is a dizzying runabout of a homemaker's humdrum daily chores. It serves to establish the roles each character has established for themselves. The husband played by newbie, Pavail Gulati is wonderfully self-obsessed and completely oblivious to anything but his own needs. The wife played by Tapsee Pannu ( as if we didn't know! Ha ha!) is on the other end of the spectrum. She is hyper aware of the needs of all those around her and revels in being needed and being able to be of service. The nuances that are written into the script are sheer brilliance. Consider the opening montage introducing the main characters to us. The wife being driven about, the girlfriend being received with love and finally a super successful lawyer finding freedom in hanging out a car window. The conversation that ensues between all of them, sketches skillfully the back stories of the lot of them. The movie is far from being a chest beating comment...

Protests! Candle-light vigils! Banners! Placards! Demonstrations! Human Chains! We can do it all .... but the question is how often can we do it,and why should we have to do it at all? And why do we do it at all when our memories are so short! Here today ....And gone tomorrow seems to be the order of the day.But if this has genuinely sparked something inside us then we should keep that spark alive. We need to become a people that we can be proud of... Let us indeed protest....... but protest the indifference that has crept into our lives. Light a candle..... but do it to dispel the darkness that has engulfed our hearts. Wave a banner....... but let it carry a message of love for your close ones. Hold a placard....... but write appreciation on it for all that is good and pure. Demonstrate...... show that you care. Make human chains.... but a hold a hand to help someone,to console, to offer solace. Love and Peace
