2021 – What I learnt

How do you choose a book to read?

I don’t read or buy a book because it’s a best-seller, I only pick up a book that interests me.
Some of the questions I ask myself! You also too might consider while reading your next.
Am I interested in reading this book, because someone famous recommended it? Because of a friend who recommended or is it because I like the Story?
Normally with the Bestselling books of authors. The expectations from their other books rise high. But if you read a book that interests you and you liked it. The curiosity of what the bestseller author might Offer increases and his other work would then be considered. I tried doing these with multiple authors and it was one of the most effective of choosing your next read. Right from Murakami’s to Keigo Higashino to Malcolm Gladwell books.

What does television mean today?
When was the last time, you watched television?

You have started watching a new series, that everybody has been talking about.
But you don’t want to miss out!

Where do the cinema theatres go?
Is going for the movies to the theatres dead? How will the cinemas survive? Will a subscription model be applied to the cinemas as well?
A subscription that allows you to watch an X number of movies in a month with some F&B to go with it.
Since we haven’t had any good films make it on the Over The OTT platform.
All the interesting looking ones are waiting for cinemas to reopen to launch it
But compared to ₹900 a Year, ₹1500 Year and ₹400 a month for mobile devices on a certain platform for family viewing.
Where do the cinemas go?
Will one be spending on the movies.
Mind you even the television seems like a dull experience with the Advertisement coming up frequently.
Where does that leave advertising? Only on News broadcasting channels? Since most of the channels have been playing older episodes today, And more new content coming up on OTT platforms with a wider range of genres and stories available.
Are we all just streaming on different screens?
