Series: 13 Reasons Why Season 01 (2017)

 🎥 Butterfly Effect. 

Reflection
I can never justify the act of taking one's own life ever. But, I feel it's important to understand or consider the reasons why someone slips into this unfortunate path. With social media taking over our lives, peer pressure and need for social acceptance have reached new heights. It is imperative for parents, teachers and students to understand how it is affecting our minds; understand how our words and actions may affect others, be considerate of each other's feelings and support them in due time.

Life is hard. It will try to pull you down in some way or the other and it is natural to feel broken or lost. We must not give up no matter how bad it seems. The challenge is to fight it and figure out a way back into life.

🎥 The way out !
When concern is rooted in love, it is annoying, but it's doesn't hurt!

 

Reflection
"Time moves us in circles,
 From our hand curled around their fingers,

 When the nights are grey."    --- #PoeticWithHope

Divines (2016)

Money! Money! Money!

Reflection 
There are some stories that help us realize how fortunate we are and all our problems or shortcomings appear smaller under it's glow.  

In the name of fairness, we created a system where money doesn't grow on trees (or fall off from trees), we have to earn it.
It is one of those stories that makes us question, what is right or wrong ? Do we take into account the circumstances or context to figure out what is ethical and what is not ? Or is it unjustified to determine what is ethical and what is not under the umbrella of context ? Why is the gap between the fortunate and less fortunate increasing with time ?

Posesif (2017)

🎥 Is this love ?

Reflection
To me, the story evolves under the blanket of the following words (when you replace 'something' with 'someone'!):
